for the growth of independent thought.
and civilized ideas are spread In other
ways. One Of the great means OF SUCH
distribution is the annual pilgrimage to
Mecca, which is attended by about half
a million Mohammedans from ali parts or
the orient. At that time Mecca becomes
great camp meeting or bush meeting,
such as we farmers have in Virginia.
The people come together and gossip.
They discuss the crops and ask one
san Ali of Egypt says to Mohammed OF
Turkey, How is business? Are you
making money. and how does your gov
eminent treat you?" Mohammed replies
they hope for much under the new sui
tan. Thereupon Hassan says that the
English have cut down the taxes and
that the church has plenty OF money In
it's treasury. He tells how he has been
able to send his boy to college. and that
he hopes he will some day be an official.
The Turk thereupon longs for better
government. At the same time the col
1ege students tell what they have learned.
and as a result the twentieth century
spirit Of modern progress is stirring the
Mohammedan world.
In addition to the collegiate work great
advances in our civilization are being
made by the Protestant missions. There
are now thousands of native Christians
In Syria, and from seventy-five to one
hundred thousand native Christians in the
empire Of Turkey. The American mis-
sionaries alone have over 100 schools.
with five or six thousand pupils, and the
English have many more.
Right here in Beirut is the largest ana
most up-to-date publishing plant In the
orient. 1t belongs to the American mis-
sion, and it annually turns out tens OF
thousands of volumes of the Bible, or
school text books and Of others on reii-
gious and scientific subjects. Altogether
it has published more than 700 different
works in Arabic, and IT Is estimated that

A notable instance Of family influence
on the tory side is furnished by Lord
CIaud Hamilton and the Marquis OF
Hamilton, brother and son Of the Duke of
Abercorn, who are among the most In
dustrious members of the Irish unionist
group. Lord Claud Is man of great
ability, but the marquis has never distin-
guished himself. 1t is said, however. that
there has never been a house of commons
since the union of the Irish and English

Chamberlain. a leader Of the opposi-
ton and son of Joseph Chamberlain,
the ailing backbone of the conserva-
tive party; Neil Primrose. son Of Lord
Rosebery; Lord Hugh Cecil. son Of the
late Marquis Of Salisbury. and ever so
many sons Of wealthy peers Of recent
creation, whose way to the front has
been paved with gold from the money
bags of their ambitious papas. Then
until recently there was Herbert Glad
stone, son Of the Grand Old Man." and
now peer and governor general of
South Africa.
In one respect the house Of commons
has gone the upper chamber one better.
For, whereas the house Of lords includes
but a single son OF deceased peer, the
lower chamber in many instances boasts
two. and IN one case recently It had
three members Of the same family. This
association Of brothers in the house OF
commons lends the air Of family affair
to the proceedings and frequently re-
suits IN happenings of an alleged hu
morous turn which serve to enliven the
usual dull conduct of public business
there.
One OF the most interesting OF these
family doubles is that which embraces

On the tory side OF the last house OF
commons there were two pairs Of brothers
who literally and figuratively illustrate
the power Of the barrel" for beyond
being good fellows who are universally
popular they have nothing but their
wealth to recommend them, and in both
cases that wealth was derived from cater
ing to the ever-present thirst of their
countrymen. They are the Hon. Rupert and
Walter Guinness and Sir John and Arthur
Dewar. The Guinnesses are the sons of
Viscount Iveagh, the head of the famous
Dublin brewing firm, and the Dewars be-
long to the family which is equally ia
NOUS for its Scotch whisky. In the pres
ent parliament only Sir John Dewar and
Walter Guinness remain.
A couple Of years ago there were three
brothers sitting on the liberal benches.

he had been in the house of commons
only three years when the Campbell-B Ban

the services rendered to the liberal party
by Lord Swaythling that Herbert Samuel
could not be ignored He was appointed
assistant to Herbert Gladstone, then
home secretary, a role for which he was
more fitted than any other that can be
imagined.

been described as a walking encyclo-

Shortly before the Sultan Abdul Hamd
was ousted by the Young Turk party and
carried to his prison in Saloniki. where
he now is, he referred bitterly to the
work that Robert College had done in
his empire. Said he: THAT
institution has cost me Bulgaria, and it
is like to lose me my throne"
He was right Robert College was
founded in 1863 by a New York merchant
named Robert. who gave large part of
his fortune to this institution. He was
aided by the Rev. Cyrus Hamlin. D. D.,
who was, I think, the real organizer.
Since then it has been turning out grad
yates, and they have largely formed the

now cover the Nile valley. They have
schools in the Sudan and a great Amer

years ago, and it has been turning out
graduates ever since. 1t has now more

The college is said to give better educa-

and that at the lowest possible cost. The
tuition is nominal. For the poorest schol-
airs 1t is only about 81 a session in mon

year. The cost of the education varies
with the taste of the students. These are

three kinds of accommodations, the cost
of which ranges from $50 year upward.

Meeting Is Held in Pueb1o
to Discuss the
Matter

At a meeting of the "Rainbo~ -
Route association held at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at the Congress
hotel, and attended by members of the
legislature, and commissioners of five
counties, 1t was decided to ask the
legislature for an appropriation 1f
$4,000 to be used to complete the
Rainbow Route" highway from Pu-
eblo to the Utah state line.
The association has reports from en-
gineers which show that by the use
OF convict labor the road can be made
one of the best highways in the coun-
try at cost not to exceed $50. 900.
This estimate includes the complete
cost of the route from Pueblo through
Canon City. Salida. through Royal
Gorge. to Grand Junction and the
Utah state line.
The road will be a continuation OF
the New Santa Fe trail which stops Mt

II was claimed by many who AZ
tended the meeting that the road can
be completed in time for the tourist
