e RIGHT KIND OF MISSIONARY.
Or of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There was an article in last Sun
days Tribune. written by one who signed
himself "Ex-Attache" on whether mis-
sionary should commit suicide in case of
being exposed to great danger IN his work
In a foreign field. 1t does not appear prac-
teal that such matter as that should De
reasoned out The ancient martyrs did not
defy the rage of their tormentors simply
because they thought it was their duty. but
because they were possessed of so much
religious zeal that 1t was their pleasure.
When the martyr Polycarp was placed n
the flames his words were: welcome
Death! I do not fear thee" And when
Jesus was on the cross and He was offered
the vinegar and the gall which it is thought
was an anodyne He refused it because 1t is
THE cup which my Father hath given
me, shall I not drink it?' A mother in
the northern regions will remove a blanket
from her own shoulders with pleasure and
wrap It about her freezing child. So when
missionaries have enough of the right kind
of zeal, they will never ask If they should
commit suicide to avoid pain.
The true Christian is a new creature. The
old man with his deeds has been put off
and the new man Christ Jesus put on Some
trees you know, will grow on rocks, where
there is scarcely any soil. So the true Chris
tan will thrive in the midst of trouble and
pain These form the proper soil for his
development Processing Christians, there
fore who are seeking easy places are poor
guides. MORTIMER SMITH

YESTERDAYS DEFEAT.

The Republicans in the Assembly have
exhibited q notable consistency. The
urging OF Governor Hughes and the adj
monition of ex-President Roosevelt could
not swerve them from their course of
infiaming a considerable section Of the
voters against themselves and perhaps
also against their party. Their eXhibi-
ton of courage is. so unusual and so IN
expected as 10 challenge wonder if not
exactly admiration, but their discretion
is a minus quantity, and as politics their
action is ineXcuSable For Il is impOs-
sible that Mr. Roosevelt, certainly a
good judge of public opinion and Of
politics if there is one, and Governor
f5ughes and the leading Republican and
Independent newspapers Of the state,
including The Tribune, can be mistaken
in their estimate Of the public sentiment
demanding direct primaries. That senti-
ment, moreover. will be intensified by
the Identification Of q popular leader like
Mr. Roosevelt with the movement and
by the revelation of the forces and mo-
tives of the opponents Of the reform,
which this special session has brought.
The action Of the Assembly yesterday
may of course not be final, for 1t still
remains possible that a caucus, efforts
10 secure which failed yesterday, may
be called this morning upon the Cobb
bill. We hope this course may be fol-
lowed, for there appear TO be enough
advocates of direct primaries among the
Republicans in the Assembly to insist
upon q caucus. If q caucus should be
called. the Barnes-Wadsworth element
would be compelled 10 enter 1t or forfeit
their boosted regularity and be num-
bered among the boilers. Those luke
warm advocates of direct nominations
who are ready to vote for the Cobb bill
TO make records for use In the coming
campaign, but who will do nothing to
make the bill a caucus measure, should
b@ compelled. like the outright dodgers
OF votes, TO reckon with their conStitu-
ents. The adjournment planned for to-
day leaves little time in which to act,
and the outlook is not hopeful, especially
since the leaders Of the Legislature are
evidently possessed with an after us the
deluge spirit.

UNAf4KING HISTORY.

1t is easier TO make history than to
keep il made Two examples OF how
readily it is unmade are furnished In the
sketches Of Senator John w. Dan1efs
career, which appeared yesterday in two
New York newspapers. 1.-The Evening
Posts" sketch contained this sentence:
Senator Daniel opposed the free silver
plank in the Democratic platform OF
1896, and he was not an admirer Of the
policies of William ]. Bryan.
Mr.. Daniel was elected temporary
chairman of the Democratic National
Convention Of 1896 by the free silver
forces. after the national committee,
which was anti-free silver, had nom1-
mated Senator David B. Hill for that
post. He was one Of the most radical
of the advocates of the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver, and was one
Of the organizers Of the Bimetallic
League, which planned the campaign to
wrest control of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention Of 1896 from the mod
crates and the friends of the Cleveland
administration. He favored the noml-
nation of Henry NJ. Teller, but was en-
.irely satisfied with Mr.. Bryan's selec-
ton
The sketch in 1.-The New York Times"
contained this paragraph:
At the last Presidential convention Mr.
Daniel was himself mentioned as pos
sible candidate for the Presidency. The
Senator had openly opposed the nominal
ton of Bryan for months previous TO
the nomination, and on the floor of the
convention fought against the nomina-
ton to the last The Senator from Viz
ginia received quite large vote on the
first ballot, but was willing to withdraw
should the party nominate anybody but
BRYAN. When defeated Mr.. Daniel took
the matter to heart, and throughout the
campaign gave the Democratic candl-
date half-hearted support.
Tnasmuch as the Virginia state con-
vention which elected delegates to the
last Democratic National Convention
passed resolutions fayOring Mr.. Bryan's
nomination, the vote of the state was
cast as unit for Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Daniel was not candidate for Presi-
dent at Denver and received no votes in
the convention there. The only votes
cast for other candidates than Mr..
Bryan were 591a for George Gray, Of
Delaware, and DC for John A. Johnson,
of Minnesota The ways In which his
tory gets distorted are manifold and
mysterious.

CHANGES IN EDUCATION
President Faunce Points to Avi-
alton as an Example.

Ann Arbor, Mich, June 30-Delivering
the commencement address to-day at the
University of Michigan, President William
II. P. Faunce of Brown University referred
to aerial navigation as the latest example
of new conditions calling for readjust-
ment Of long established ideas and said it
was a puzZling problem TO decide just what
education was needed to fit young people
for such changing times He mentioned
forestry, bacteriology, philanthropic super
intendencies and private secretaryships as
callings which had never existed until re-
Gently.
In former years." said President Faunce,
students were all carried through the
same programme of study, and when gradu-
ates Of different colleges met they had a
common stock Of knowledge. a common
series of social axioms. To-day our uni
versities give degrees many and as vari-
Gus as the cOlors in Joseph's coat
But the common bonds of educated men
to-day are identity of method in the search
for truth and insistence on fundamental
principles rather than on technical pro-
fiCiencV."

DELAY AT WESTMINSTER.

The conference between the govern
nent and Opposition leaders at West
minister has not yet settled the veXed
question Of the status and the powers Of
the House of Lords. A constitutional
matter of such transcendent importance
is not to be disposed of offhand, in the
course Of few days or weeks, and the
fact that it is not yet settled by no
means warrants the belief that it is in
soluble.
The difficulty presumably was that
each party entered the conference with
the idea that its plans should and could
prevail practically unaltered and that
the opposing party must unconditiOn-
ally surrender The government was
committed TO the principle Of leaving the
House Of Lords as it is Inc composition
and of depriving it of its veto power, and
thus making it impotent. Mr. Asquith
on entering the conference declared that
the government would not lose sight of
the declared objects of its policy, and
those objects are generally held to in
clude the reduction Of the House OF
Lords TO something like legislative
ronentity. The Unionists, on the other
hand. were intent upon strengthening
rather than weakening the House Of
Lords by reforming its composition and
making it coordinate with the Commons
in practical legislative authority.
The situation was intensified by the
attitude Of the Indispensable allies of
the government, which was still more
a~4 he -
his colleagues. 1t was made plain at
the beginning that any concession what
sOeyer by the government would cost It
the support of the Irish and Labor fac
tons, both Of which were ine1orably
bent upon the destruction Or at least the
degradation of the House of Lords and
the making of the Commons supreme
The Labor party, in fact, formally de-
clared IT would not recognize any ar
rangement tRat might be made by the
conference which receded from the ex-
IRENE anti-veto resolutions some time
ago adopted by the Commons. Appar-
emily Mr. Asquith did not think 1t ex-
pedient at this time 10 sacrifice the sup
port Of those two factions.
Delay does not, however. necessarily
mean defeat. The leaders on both sides
are too patriotic and reasonable to in
sist upon every detail Of their respective
plans TO the detriment Of the public vel
fare. At the autumn session Parlia-
ment may work out an equita BILE scheme
Of reform which will retain the indis-
pensable advantages Of the bicameral
SYSTEM and at the same time get rid of
the anomaly Of legislative body which
is always OF one political comnlexion

it seems. cannot be restored TO power

The pathos OF the situation was thus put
by Mr.. Rayner before THE Suns"
readers:
Will Mr.. Bryan and his followers per-
NIT the Democratic party to nominate a
President of the United States. and to
send to the people platform OF its own
construction? If he shall insist, as /
have no reason to think lhe will, that he
must select a candidate for us, and that
he must frame the platform, then We
must rise in our might and assert the
principle that no one man has the right
to dictate the nomination and formulate
the principles of the Democratic party.
Three times we have gone down to de-
feat under platforms that we could not
defend before the people, andsit would be
absolutely fatal now for the Democratic
party to again rush into the arms of dis
aster in pursuit Of policies that cannot be
maintained.
Unhappy party and unhappy prophet!
Instead Of being invincible in its own
right. the Democracy cannot triumph I'M
less it escapes from the tolls Of It's
present one-man domination. 1t is often
explained that the millions who might
be expected TO free Ireland do not rise
because the police won't let them. The
Democratic party and Mr. Rayners
prophecies seem to be in the same fix.
They might make good to a greater or
less extent If only the great suppressor
OF Lincoln. Neb.. would let them But
no one can be expected to take at any
thing like advertised value either a party
or a prophecy with a string to it.

THE MAYOR AND COURT REFORM

Mayor Gaynor's appointments TO the
magistrates courts leave little to be
desired. For the important new posts
Of chief Justice of the Court Of Special
Sessions and chief magistrates men Of
especially high class and of political in
dependence have been selected, and
from the Mayors remarks to his ap-
pointees it is apparent that he has In
mind a thorough reform Of the minor
criminal courts. The chief magistrates
were reminded that the statute gave
them large powers to introduce system
and order in the magistrates courts.
They have the power, the Mayor told
them, to assign the other magistrates to
their duties, to appoint their hours of
work and TO supervise their work and
records, and he expressed the hope that
they would bring about uniformity and
method in the conduct Of these tri-
bunals.
That is large contract for the new chief
magistrates, but 1t is one that seriously
needs to be carried out. We have many
times adverted to the different stand
ards of different magistrates and to the
effect their lack of uniformity in the
enforcement Of the law has in promot-
ing laWlessness. The Mayor referred
especially to the different methods of
different magistrates in excise cases.
Some hold excise offenders upon the
presentation of reasonable evidence
against them. while others cannot be
induced to hold them upon any prac-
ticable evidence The same inconsistency
prevails in regard to many other Of
fences. One magistrate is notorious, per-
haps. for allowing all women arrested for
street walking TO go free, while another
is severe with them. One, it may be,
discharges all Migrants arraigned be-
fore him And so with variety of Of
fences. This readiness of some magis-
trateS to show excessive leniency to GER
tain classes of offenders breeds con-
tempt of the law. 1t diScourages the
police in the performance of their du-
ties and has demOralizing effect upon
the magistra tes' courts.
The trouble with these courts is that
because Of their loose organization and
the freedom from the restraint that an
appellate court exercises over courts Of
original jurisdiction, the magistrates
have always been q law unto them
selves. They need the supervision and
directing influence of q strong chief
magistrate exercised in the ways which
the Mayor with insight born of his own
judicial experience, has pointed out. 1t
will take time to bring order out of
chaos and TO weld the magistrates
courts together into a system. All the
more SO because most of the magis-
trates have been long On the bench and
have been used to the possession of in
dependence and freedom from restraint
The Mayor will have an opportunity,
however, on the expiration of the terms
Of the present incumbents, largely to
change the character Of the magistrates
courts, If those now on the bench do not
fully cooperate with him in his purpose
to introduce system, order and uniform
ity. There is reason to hope, therefore
for great improvement In the admin
istratiO1 of justice in the petty criminal
courts in the not very remote future

BARG4IN COUNTER PROPHECY.

The Hon. Isidor R%yner has again
been dropping into prophecy. Every
wear or two he suffers an affection Of
the Imagination, accompanied by all the
symptoms of sybillne unrest and in
SEPARATION. which causes him TO see writ
zen not only in the stars but on every
dead wall and billboard in Baltimore
the promise Of an overwhelming Jeffer-
sonian triumph in the near future. Mr..
RaFner was SO carried away at one time
as TO predict the election Of Alton 3.
Parker and Henry O. Davis. the Demo
cratic candidates for President and
Vice President in 1904, as our readers
may remember With him the Dem0c
racy IS always on the point Of receiving
vote of confidence from the people.
But Just as the vote is about 10 be taken
IN the great hall OF judgment which Mr..
Rayner's Imagination constructs for that
high purpose somebody puts out the
lights and the vote remains unrecorded.
The Maryland Senator has just pre-
pared for the readers Of THE Baltimore
SUM- q gorgeous Democratic prospectus
for 1910 and 1912. There has never
3'been a time since the close Of the Civil
War" he says, when the prospects of
The Democratic party have been
brighter than they are at present" He
feels that the Taft administration has
been thus far so abysmal a failure, hav-
ing accomplished less than nothing IN q
legislative way (since what it accom-
plished would better have been left I'M
accomplished that claiming the election
Of a Democratic House Of Representa-
tives in November would be simply an
ticipating a certainty. Hundreds of
other observers at Washington have
thought that Congress made an eKtraOr-
dinarily fruitful record Of legislation.
