FOR 4 pE4cE COMMISSION.

We are glad to see that Mr.. Bennets
Joint resolution for the appointment Oh
"a commission in relation to universal
peace was passed by both houses Of
Congress. It now goes to the President
for his action, and It is not unduly opti-
mistic to hope that it will have some
practical influence toward the confrma-
ton of peace among the powers of the
world.
The resolution does not bind the gov
ernment or the nation to anything and
does not contemplate the mourning OF
any expense though expense for the
purpose in view would not be grudged.
1t simply authorizes the President to
appoint five men who shall consider the
expediency Of utilizing existing interna-
tional agencies for securing limitation of
armaments by international agreement
and of using the navies Of the world
as peace keeping police and who shall
also consider any other ways and means
of diminishing military expenditures and
Of lessening the danger Of war. We are
sure that all right minded persons must
regard such endeavors with sympathetic
approval.
Seeing, moreover. how many commits
sions and committees have been con-
stituted for military and warlike pur-
poses, we must think it not unrea SON
able to create at least one for purely
peaceful purposes. Such a commission
either viii or will not produce any tan
gible results. If 1t does not, at least no
harm will be done and we shall have the
satisfaction of expressing a pious wish.
If. on the other hand, 1t does accom-
plish something toward the ends In view,
there will be cause for earnest satisfac-
ton and the world Will be so much the
better off.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 have noticed that, for many years
past, city newspapers have persistently pub
nshed each day the so-called official tenn
perature instead OF the real temperature
Can anybody explain why? It is certainly
very silly as well as very misleading. and
no doubt many thousands who know that
the thermometer stood at 90 degrees in the
shade at 8 80 o'clock yesterday have mar
yelled to find it 81 in this mornings papers.
The official temperature Is taken at an
altitude of more than three hundred feet
above the street level which is not the
temperature of New York any more than
zero, which can be reached by ascending a
few thousand feet higher at the same point.
The vast majority of bread winners are un-
able to soar to the upper regions, but must
toll and swelter at lower levels, and would
prefer to have the exact temperature pub
lished, as was done before the establish
ment OF the Weather Bureau.

CRTRCH AND STATE IN SPAIN

CHURCH AND STATE IN SPAIN.
The kingdom of Spain appears to be
not merely entering upon but already
actually involved in conflict for relig-
ious equality and political independence
of ecclesiastical dictatiOn similar to that
in which France has been engaged for
some years. 1t was regarded as tnev-
liable that this should occur as soon as
the Clerical and reactiOnary government
of Mr.. Maura as replaced by Liberal
rule, and Mr.. Canalejas has not disap-
pointed that expectation. In his atti-
tude the Prime Minister is cordially sup
ported by his colleag CUES and by a Suf-
ficient maj jority of the parliament, and
it is understood that the King also ap
proves his course, not merely in an Of
ficial and constitutional manner. but
also personally and privately.
There are two principal questions in
hand for consideration. One is that Of
the revision of the old concordat be-
tween the Spanish government and the
Church of Rome, and the other is that
Of the enforcement of the laws prescrib-
ing equality of official treatment for all
religious denominations. There is no
rational connection between the two the
one being a matter Of diplomatic nego-
tiation abroad and the other of purely
domestic policy. The go -ernment wishes
to dispose of them independently. each
on its own individual merits, while the
Vatican authorities insist that the two
shall be considered together and that
the Church of Rome shall have a voice
affairs The course upon which Mr..
Canalejas is now said TO Lave decided is
that of insisting upon separate consid
Grafton, and of suspending negotiations
with the Vatican If the latter refuses to
recognize Spains right TO regulate her
Own affairs.
The situation would in any case be
delicate and embarrassing, but it is the
more SO because of the intense passions
which are cherished by the Spanish peO-
pie and which have been developed on
both sides. The partisans of the Vat-
can in Spain are openly threatening in
surrection. declaring that civil war is
preferable TO secular schools, while many
Of their opponents go as far in the other
direction and rail against all religion as
ipimical to civil liberty and progress
What Spain needs in such 4 crisis Is a
dcck-Rousseau. Whether or not she has
him In the person Of Mr.. Canalejas re-
mains to be seen.

A special election Is to be held in
Oklahoma on August 2, at which a
grandfather clause" constitutional
amendment is to be voted upon. For
a new state. less than three years old,
Oklahoma seems unduly concerned
about the ancestral trees of it's citizens.
Only a small fraction of it's population is
native. The rest has hardly had time
to take root. genealogically speaking, in
the new soil. A good citizen needs no
ancestors. Least Of all does he need
them in a democratic frontier COM
munity. where claims OF birth are the
poorest capital to realize on which a man
can have.

CHRISTMAS AND MISTLETOE
Nature Worship Reflected In Use OF
Mistletoe at Christmas
Time.

A great many years ago, before the
time of Christianity, the oak tree, and
especially the mistletoe, growing out
of the heart of the oak, were rever-
enced for their supposed affinity with
the sun. The Druids worshiped the
sun as the one supreme god, and be-
lieved the oak to be in some way as
sociated with the sun because they
made fire by rubbing oak sticks to-
gether, the oak being at once the most
common tree and the most suitable
for the purpose. Twice each year
these Celtic priests gave a religious
festival In honor of the sun, their
places of worship being in the oak
groves. In June, when the sun was
known to have ceased mounting high
er in the heavens, the Druids gave
thanks, because a nearer approach or
the sun was thought to be possible,
and this, of course, would result in the
burning up of the earth In Decem-
ber, at the time of the short days,
the Druids prepared celebrallo- m
honor of the suns turning back frol-
his downward journey, which was rec
ognized as the days began to grow
longer This second celebration was
quite naturally the happiest time, the
people holding the sun in such fear
in June. 1t was then the mistletoe
was honored as being the very essence
of the oak
When eventually the church was es-
tablished and It's followers turned the
ancient December celebration into
Christmas, the mistletoe was hung up
by way of compromise, although 1t had
nothing to do with the new religion
And so even today. In our use of ever
green and holly, and exc the occasion
al sprig Of mistletoe, We reflect the
nature worship which gave us. per
haps, not only the foundation of our
Christmas, but for our love of nature
as we'll.

Christmas SuperstItlons.

The United States is almost poverty

superstitions is concerned. our early
settlers having failed to import many
from Europe. and not adopting those
OF the Indians. OF course some of
us don't like to see the new moon
over the left shoulder. or start on a
journey on Friday. and the like. but
few of us take even these very serious
ly. We must go TO "the old coun-
tries" to get superstitions with any
genuine thrill in them. There are a
number which have to do with Christ
