The Pursuit of Beauty.

I know not that If all things had
been equally beautiful we could have
received the idea of beauty at all, or
If we had, certainly it had become a
matter Of Indifference to us, and of
little thought, whereas through the
beneficent ordaining of degrees in its
manifestation, the hearts of men are
stirred by it's occasional occurrence in
it's noblest form, and all their ener-

and endeavor to arrest it or recreate
it for emselves.-Ruskin: Modern

Looking for a Candidate.

The trouble with the malcontents IN
the Republican party is that they can
not unite upon a candidate. The situa-
ton recalls most wildly the time when
certain faction of the Republican
party was determined to prevent the
denomination OF President Harrison.
He had made good President, but had
created enmities. and the men who
nursed feeling of resentment endeav-
orcd to defeat him. While the Harri-
son organization continued loyal and
intact. the opposition foundered in a
sea of uncertainty. They sought the
aid of Mckinley, of Blaine. of any
body who would carry their banner. In
the end, they failed
To-day the opponents of President
Taft are in the same predicament. They
know not upon whom to crystalline
their effort. Senator La Toilette would
willingly pose as the anti-Taft leader,
but the practical politicians are we'll
aware that he does not command that
measure of popular support which is
essential for their purpose. They would
like to conjure with the name of Roose-
welt even as the anti-Harrison contin-
gent sought to charm with the name of
Blaine, but Mr. Roosevelt will not
swallow the bait He has already de-
clared that he Isl not a candidate. and
he has asked his friends to check any
movement which includes his name.
Where else is the anti-Taft faction to

Now that the Republican National
Committee has come and gone. there
is no reason to change the opinion pre-

that President Taft will again be the
nominee of his party. If the Republi-
cans win, he is entitled to the fruits of
victory.

DR.. GLADDENS GRIEVANCE.
Noted Clergyman Considers Him
self AEErIeved by the Press.

self AggrieTed by the Press.
From the Outlook
Not long ago a laIge number of news
| papers contained a dispatch from Co
lumbus, stating. in effect. that Dr. Glad
den had resigned the pastorate he has
held for so many years and that he had
done so because his congregation had
fallen away to a degree that left him no
heart for his Old work. This was not a
correct statement. Nothing had happened
except hat DR.. GLADDEN. had sent on,
to all hiG parishioners a letter in which
he announced to them the appointment
Of colleague to assist him In the per-
formance Of his pastoral duties and to
succeed him when the time came for
him to retire.
In making this announcement Dr.
GLADDEN. said that the responsibilities of
leadership in church affairs should be
placed upon this younger man, he spoke
of the communication as his last per-
sonal pastoral letter" he gently exhorted
those of them who had become careless
in church attendance to reform their
ways, and he concluded with: Il hope
that I may yet have some happy years
among you to rejoice with you in the
growth and the fruitfulness which the
new leadership will bring"
1t is easy enough to see how a hasty
reading of the letter would give the i'm
preston that DR.. GLADDEN. had resigned,
and that he had dC.ne IL out of a feeling
Of encouragement. The blunder of the
man who wrote the dispatch iE, indeed,
excusable only in the sense that II is
applicable, but II does seem that a man
as charitable as DR.. GLADDEN. might take
to himself some share Of blame for the
error made. With all his skill and ex-
perience, to anybody who did not know
all the facts his letter did lend itself to
demonstration.
DR.. GLADDEN. admits that there was be-
hind the error little or no malice"
What reason has he for suspecting that
there was any? He complains that not
as many papers have printed his correc-
ton Of the dispatch as printed the dis
patch. and that, anyhow, corrections are
not as effective as original assertions
The latter statement is true, but through
no fault Of the newspapers; as to the
former, DR.. GLADDEN. is probably in error,
but he is quite wrong in charging the
decent papers OF the country-which
means most of them-with reluctance to
prilt corrections and with eagerness to
print things discreditable to reputable
men.

An Invitation,

If Mrs. Hetty Green dislikes New
York because it is a nest of thieves
and a city without homes, we suggest
that she reside in Washington. Here,
indeed, she can find all that makes ex-
istcnce 4 constant delight.
Washington, unlike New York, is
city of homes. Its population, while
alert and intelligent. is not crazed with
the mad rush for money. Its society
is cosmopolitan and delightful. It's
climate is most attractive. Its streets
are wide and clean, and its atmosphere
is not polluted with smoke AS city
it is not hemmed in by the provincial
ism which marks New York, where
the world is bounded by the Hudson
and East rivers. A vulgar display
of wealth is not the criterion by which
important station is Judged. Brains
and character are still essential factors
in determining a social status.
We are sure that if the richest wom-
an in the world-a woman who, with all
her wealth, is not given to ostentation
and display-would come to Washing
ton she would escape the conditions
which in New York are her adherence
We invite her to make the expert
ment. confident that in the National
Capital her life would be a thing of
beauty and a joy forever

A PLAIN CASE OF STEAL.
How New York Dealt with some
High Financing.

Prom the Providence Journal.
Under the laws Of New York 1t Is
found possible to convict as a common
trust funds. Plain stealing was the term
employed by the district attorney to de-
scribe one of the transactions revealed
by the collapse OF the Carnegie Trust
Company. Stripped OF the nice terminol-
ogy which distinguishes statutes for the
protection of banks against looting from
the inside, that is what the common
sactions. Those who by devious meth
DDS inappropriate bank funds are not
classed with thieves OF low degree.
though fortunately their punishment
may be as rigorous. In the present in
stance, palpably, as the prosecuting at
torney reminded the court, the money
was there. the opportunity was there.
and the thief was there; and there fol-
lowed the result which is inevitable in
that combination OF circumstances-it
was just crude stealing"
After the testimony had been con-
cluded. the court took the same view.
The charge warned the jury that the
prisoner at the bar was not to be judged
as a bad banker, or for kiting checks.
or for exercising a mischlevous influ-
ence in the banking world, but for steal
ing a specified sum of money. The YER
dict was guilty. 1t must be refreshing
to a jury. in cases of high or low hnan-
ciering, when the issue Is so clean-cut.
