ROOSEVELT, PROPHET OF GOD
PRESBYTERIAN Minister Believes in Him,
He Saws. as in Isaiah

Theodore Roosevelt is the prophet Of
this generation ! believe in him as the
anointed prophet of God, as l believe in
Isaiah. OF whom he is the antithesis,' said
the Rev A Edwin Keigwin. pastor OF the
Vest End Presbyterian Church at the ser
vice yesterday morning
The parallel between the two men is
striking Both are statesmen; both proph-
cts OF new dispensation: both persisted
in preaching when many wished them 10
be quiet, both stepped into the public eye
when the DAYS of the nation were evil
Roosevelt urges strenuous living. Isaiah
urges faith in God and patience. Though
both urge opposite ways of living. yet they
do not contradict each other, as both
preached according TO the needs of the
timer
In ending his sermon the minister said
THE man OF brawn must toll beside the
man of brains and beside the strenuous
statesman must labor those who have faith
in God faith IN men and faith in the
destiny OF their country"

WANTED A PRESIDENT. - George
Washington University is without q per-
manent president. although Admiral Stock
ton has been elected president pro tenn.
This is due TO the resignation OF Dr.
Charles c Needharn. who has been presi-
dent of this institution for some time.
This doesn't constitute weakness, how
ever. for opinion is divided regarding the
ability Of Dr. Needham. and there are
many who believe the university can be
greatly strengthened by the selection of
another head The suggestion has been
made that possibly ex-President Roosevelt
could be induced to accept this honorable
place. although it is not known if that
idea has received any serious consideration
from the board Of trustees. It is realized
that If Mr.. Roosevelt would accept he
could make this one of the greatest insti-
tutions of learning in the United States
and probably in the world We're he to
become its head abundant funds to carry
1t on would be Immediately forthcoming
and on g, scale even beyond the most
sanguine expectations of present trustees.
There are many who believe Washington
should have a great national. or quasi
national. university, and who feel that the
excellent charter of George Washington,
which has still ninety years to run, its
creditabl. seniority and its enviable repu-
tation as an educational institution make
il the ideal nucleus for such university,
but all that is, of course, mere speculation.
In any event. the present trustees are
making E valiant fight to save old George
Washington. and while their work is not
vet done the prospects are far brighter
than they were a short time ago

THE UNIVERSITY SPIRT-A striking
instance Of the loyalty Of the faculty TO
the university was afforded last week, when
the members of the faculties Of the law
and medical schools formally advised the
trustees that they would serve next year
for half their usual compensation, If that
sacrifice was necessary TO tide over the
present difficulties Of the institution. This
same spirit pervades the entire faculty and
affords the utmost encouragement TO the
friends Of the institution, as they believe
a university upheld by such loyalty cannot
remain long embarrassed It is not regard
ed as probable that this offer will have to
be accepted, as the prospects Of both these
schools are excellent. the indications being
that the enrolment will be larger than
ever, Both schools rate high, and it is the
Determination of the trustees as well as
of their respective faculties that nothing
shall be done to lower the present high
standard.

WORLDS SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY.

In connection with the preparations
for the Worlds Sunday School conven
ton in Washington, May 10 and "a, sew
eral unique plans have developed. One
is so unusual in character as to be fair
ly sensational: Nothing less than the
creation and circulation of the most
widely distributed picture in the world.
Since May % is Worlds Sunday
School Day, which is to be observed in
all parts of the earth, it was planned
to symbolic the world idea, the child
idea, and the Chistian conquest idea,
in one great painting. So a, Boston ar
list, Mr.. w. Stecher. has painted for the
Sunday school leaders a picture en-
hlematic of the children of the whole
world. Critics have pronounced the or
iginal painting at once the most human
and emblematic of all the attempts to
convey by brush or pencil the idea Of
cosmooolitanisln.
The officials in charge of the Wash
ington convention, which will itself be
the most cosmopolitan gathering ever
held in America, were so impressed with
this painting, The Crusaders of the
Twentieth Century" that they have ar
ranged to have it reproduced on a large
scale in living tableau at one of the
convention sessions. The picture is be-
ing reproduced in colors for use in the
schools, and it will be given to every
one of the thousands of schools in mis-
sion lands. With the unrivaled ma
chinery of the modern Sunday school to
distribute it, the picture will doubtless
be more widely circulated than even
the copies of the most famous of the old
masters.
In North America, the picture is be-
ing used to help carry the idea of
Worlds Sunday School Day. All over
this polyglot world Sunday schools will
celebrate May p as Worlds Sunday
School Day. To make the services uni
form, a special program has been pre-
pared by the Worlds Sunday School as
sociation, and it is being issued by all
the principal denominations and by the
| association itself, in the North Aneri-
| can building, Philadelphia. This unique
program has been translated into more
than 200 languages and dialects. The
three hymns used are those which have
been universally translated; there is a
selection from the Psalter, a prayer
written for the exercise by an Episco-
pal clergyman; and a few facts con-
| corning the growth of the Worlds Sun
| day School association. with its present
! membership of more than 275OO0 schools
and more than 25,O0O.0OO members.
| The pastors OF all Christendonn have
been reque sted to preach special SER
mons on the morning of Worlds sun
day School Day, emphasizing the i'm
portance of the Sunday school and the
religious training of the child. En-
thusiastic Sunday school leaders saw
that on May p the thought of all
churches everywhere will be centered
upon the child to degree without pre-
cedent in all Christian history

GOVERNOR FORTs NOVEL; idea

/
With all due Difference to his judg-
ment, Governor Fort of New Jersey
appears to have some unusual ideas as to
the power of a state executive to issue
acquisitions for the extradition from
other states of those who may be Of
tenders against the law. Mr. Garvin,
the public prosecutor for Hoboken, has
spent much time and energy in work.
ing up a strong case of violation of the
antitrust law of New Jersey on the
part of the big packing concerns of the
country and their proprietors So con-
vinciEg was the evidence secured by
him that he was able to obtain indict-
ments charging these companies and
their principal owners with being in a
conspiracy to unlawfully raise the price
of meat. The parties to this. alleged
conspiracy live and do business in 9th
er states, principally in Illinois War
rants were sworn out for their arrest,
but further procedure on the part of
Mr.. Garvin to bring these men to JUS
tice has been baked by Governor Fort,
who refuses to issue acquisitions for
them. His reasons are that before
requisition papers can be issued it must
be proven that the man wanted is d
fugitive from justice and that the ac-
cused person was in the state where
the crime is alleged to have been COM
mitted at the time of its commission.
So he has refused to issue the requisi-
ton for the extradition of ]. Ogden
Armour from Illinois, and will likely
take the same action in the other cases
as the Armour requisition was picked
out for a test case.
This may be a proper executive con-
tention but it would not seem so. Just
suppose a prosecuting attorney in New
Jersey secured evidence which would
warrant an indictment that an Illinois
man had planned and instigated s.
murder in New Jersey but left the
who actually committed it and would
others, hired assassins, mayhap. In the
eyes of the law such a man would be
quite as guilty of the murder as those
who actually committed it and would
be deserving Of just as severe if not
severer punishment. But because he
was not in New Jersey at the time the
crime was committed and could not
therefore be considered as a fugitive
from justice, it would appear. under
the contentious of Governor Fort, that
the New Jersey authorities would be
powerless tC issue requisition papers
for his extradition from Illinois.
Governor Forts ideas in the prem
ises may be correct but they appear TO
be ridiculous.
