At its meeting the other day at Geneva the Inter
parliamentary Union, peace congress Of consider
able distinction and influence, adopted earnest
ments OF warfare. From the vigorous manner in
which practically all the nations are now equipping
their armies and naves with aerial attachments it
doubtful that this protest win find any prac-
teal response.
The pith Of the peace society's objection Ies'
perhaps, in that part Of the resolutions which con-
dennis the throwing of bombs from the air. Such
practice would doubt prove as barbarous in its
way the use Of poisoned bullets Red Cross work
alleged that in the recent fighting about Tripo
the Italians dropped explosives which fell into the
midst Of field hospitals not desgnedly so but as is
said. simply because the men in the air could not
clearly distinguish the camp beneath them Slaughter
OF this kind should, of course, be commonly pro-
hibited by civilized nations though for that matter

II we are to judge, however, 5y the recent expe-
rience OF the English in their army and aeroplane
strueting war For, it seems that the aerobIane
scouts darting hither and thither over the two CD
posing fields below, were able to report the move
ments of the troops with such swiftness that the
commanders both sides we're foiled and check
mated in the movements they had. planned; and so
into farce. II is thus conceivable that with equally
skilled aeronauts in two armies actual fighting might
be incidentally blocked.

THE OMEN OF BOSS SMITHS
DEFEAT IN NEW JERSEY

~. r.ru5iation Of James Smith, Jr., by the New
Jersey Democrats In Tuesdays senatorial primary
IS one of the most cheering political onnens OF the
year 49,
II is. in one aspect distinctive victory for
woodrow Wilson or, more truly, for the principles
he represents. .s.a -.
As triumph Of popular government over boss
rule its moral influence win be felt throughout the
nation 49,.
II win hearten the Democrats of New York in
their valiant tight against the brutal domination O.
Murphy q
II Is another fulhllment Of Democrscys pledge
TO cut itself free from boss control and eorrnprhs
alliances, in order that it may truly serve the
people.
me issue in New Jerseys primary for the Dem
ocratic nomination of United States senator was
sharply drawn between the remnant of an old
political ring headed by James Smith, Jr, and the
rank and file Of forwardlooking Democrats of whom
Governor Wilson is the leader. The brazen-, au-
dacity Of Jim Smith in offering himself for the
senatorial nomination at such time and in such
circumstances was almost inconceivabe.
He had done his utmost to hamper and defeat
Governor Wilson's efforts to carry out the Cover
nor's prediction pledges. He had sought to turn
an administration that was committed to progress
into one Of reaction and subservience to Special
Interests. But at every step. he had been vigor-
Ously met and put down by Governor Wilson, who
was backed by the sentiment of the State.
When Jim Smith was in the United States
during the Cleveland administration, he betrayed
his party by joining with the Republicans to defeat
hOnoest revision OF the tariff. His entire
has been marked by a disregard OF the publics real
interests and by the methods OF the professional
boss"
He fancied. no doubt. that Woodrow Wilson
would hesitate to engage IN an internaI party
test the threshold of the presidential election.
He simply could not conceive the mould and mettle
Of leader who stands always for principle first,
might be-
Governor Wilson went boldly before the people
OF New Jersey and told them that Smith was not
the right sort Of man for Democrats to nominate
for the senate and that they could not nominate
him without compromising their own .censicttohs
and their party's consistency. The majority by
which Smith has been defeated shows how strong
hold Woodrow Wilson and the, principles he 'em-
bodies have upon the New Jersey Democracy.
Governor Wilson's unfinching stand on this issue
is characteristic of his attitude toward bosses in gen.
eral and is earnest of what may be ex-
pected from a national Democratic administration
Of which he is the head. His achievements as Gov
ernor have been made without any dickering or
compromise with the bosses Of either party. His
election as President viii mean the beginning OF
in our national affairs an era in which the
Government viii be administered for the good Of the
people as whole and not by few bosses for the
benefit Of their particular clients

His smile is quite paternal,
He has a portly frame
And of his speech the kernel
Is always the same.
He lifts his hand in warning.
Our feelings he would spare.
And every night and morning
He says to us, take care!"
He says to change unduly
We must not show intent
For change is dreadful, truly;
'Twould wreck the government.
He says we'd best step lightly
With burdens that we bear,
And keep on smiling brightly,
And. most of all, Take care"
Now, some Of us have taken
A little time for thought;
Our faith in him is shaken
His deeds are simply naught.
There is around US floating
A wish for play that's fair
So, when it comes to voting,
Perhaps we shall take care!

EUROPE AND ORIENT MAKE +.
READY FOR'P. MANA CANAL.

It has been truly said that unless the manufac-

of the United States exert themselves with the ut
most possible vigor during the next eighteen months
they will be outdistanced from the very start by
foreign competitors in deriving practical advantages
from the Panama canal and the rapidly developing
field OF Latin America"
Il now lacks but eighteen months until the canal
will be ready for traffic Europe and even parts Of
the Orient are astir with preparations for this fer
tile event. The governments of the Old World are
making careful studies Of the conditions that will
arise from the joining Of the two oceans. Their
shipyards are ringing with the construction of new
vessels. Their fnanciers are organizing new deVel
opment companies and are planning definitely to
seize the opportunities that will be waiting
This is true not alone of England, France, Ger
many and other world powers of Europe. Japan
and China have also heard the call of commerce and
are responding In Japan, it is said, steamship
companies are being formed and China is planning

South American countries, for their own part, are
improving their ports, building new lines of rail-
roads and by other means getting ready for the
influx of world trade that viii soon pour its golden
tides upon their shores.
In the United, States on the contrary. there has
been singular apathy to the opening of the canal
and the new conditions it will bring. OF all

How Christ is kept out of the coun-

Rev. DR.. c. Ernest Smith, rector of st.
Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church,
in a sermon preached at the church
yesterday on The Homeless Christ
There is a touch OF infinite pathos
n the fact that when Joseph and the
Blessed Virgin Mary went to BethIe-
hem to be enrolled they found no
Dom in the inn-the inn which in
ality had been the residence of their
At ancestor. David.
Of royal descent, they found no one
o poor as to do them reverence. Thus,
@hen Jesus was born, there was no
room for Him in the inn.
That incident has been the keynote
Of much in Christian history. Almost
Christ's last words were, Behold, l
stand at the door and knock And
how true il is that Christ now in this
Christian world would stand at the
door of human interests and human
institutions waiting patiently for ad-

this conception on canvas: a great

well known words, o Jesus, Thou art

ing Scene from one of Marie CorreIli's
books where Cardinal Archbishop hears
the plaintive cry of little child trying to
get into cathedral, the door of which
was locked. 1t was a weird and wildly
exaggerated conception, and yet wherever
Christ is not received for all that He
claims TO be. it is in part fulfilled. Fail

In Political Life,

Again in our legislative life: Does any
one suppose that, notwithstanding the
good men who are in politics, as good as
any in the world, the majority of our leg
islators are anxious to have Christ pre-
side over their deliberations. just as He
did over the counsels of the blessed Apos-
ties?
so in business: There are splendid
men in business. But it was no mere wit
ticism which the author of David Har-
UNI used when he said, Do 10 the other
man what he would do to you, and do it
first Business is business runs the
pitiless maxim. Hence a coal baron sells
his coal for s. when it would pay him
handsomely to sell it at S. per ton. He
must live? Not at all. That is not neces-
sary-at least il is not necessary to for
get TO seek first the Kingdom of Heaven
10 bid Christ welcome over his threshold,
which that means.
so it runs on-in thu home-in the
heart.
Ere the year runs out. welcome Christ
over your threshold, not tomorrow, but
to-day. Tomorrow is writ large over
tragedies, broken hearts and broken lives,
and the gates of Hades; to-day over the
portsls OF Heaven"
