- ERIIN, September e.-tSpecial)
n Werner Sombart, Germany's bril-
- liant scholar. is in deep disgrace
with the dry-as-dust economists. He has
dared to disprove in a phrase what they
say in six volumes. These laborious. gog-
gle-eyed men have spent their lives vain
ly trying to trace to a first cause the
modern capitalization of industry, and
they dispute fierce ly as to whether cap
italsm is the product of labor, or the re-
suit of growing population, or OF closer
communication, or of the late j. Pierpont
Morgan. Each is sure he is right. And
now along comes audacious Werner Som
bart, and derides them as deadly. incom-
petent dry bones. He says that the orr
gin of everything capitalistic from the
billion dollar steel trust down to Wabash
common is love, heavenly love!
Werner Sombart is the able professor
of political economy at the Berlin Acad-
emy of Commerce. He was born 80 years
ago, a son of Anton Ludwig Sombart.
big politician and fnancier. He has writ
ten learned books about the Roman cam
paigns, about labor, about the proletar-
lat, about ''Why America has no social
lists" He has written about Jews. At
first people praised him as brilliant.
Lately they have condemned him as too
brilliant. The goggle-eyed, inky-thumbed.
orthodox professors sadly shake their
heads and say that Werner is doing
nothing but framing paradoxes and that
he Is becoming very sad dog.
And now he has suddenly turned out
a mad dog. For he has just launched
from the press q solemn volume entitled
f'Luxus und Capitalismus," in which he
ascribes Europe's whole economical de-
velopment to the passion of love- And
not even to respectable, welded love. but
to love of all kinds. to frivolous fiirty
love, to the forbidden love of medieval
priests and to the love of kings of dam
aged moral character. In fact, Venus
not Venus Urania, but earthly Venus Pan
demos and not Pecunia-is the goddess
OF high finance and there is urgent need
for statute to her In Wall street.
Capitalism, says Sombart, started exclu-
sively in industries which were fostered
by love. 1t came into existence at the
same time as did forbidden love. In the
happy middle ages, before the extrava-
CANT American wife was evolved, matri-
mony never led to capitalism. 1t was
discreet and modest demanded no luxu-
ries, and II money was wasted 1t was
wasted by the husband on drink which
led to bloated noses instead of bloated
capitalism. But this stage passed. There
arrived the age of what Sombart calls the
secularization of love. The secularization
of love was the growth of a love senti-
metn which had nothing to do with mat
rimony and in This extra matrimonial
love we find the source of all the capital
ism of today.
The secularization OF love began at the

building of this great pile will take so

But to write of cathedral without giving
some particular mention of the building
in which each house will hold its session
would be to leave out one of the most
interesting features of the story. The

Synod Hall. This is an interesting old
building which has stood for years on
Washington Heights. !. 1t is of colonial
architecture and from its entrance,
marked by a number of massive Dorice
columns, one can see the city Of New
York stretching to the south for several
miles and then far out into the Atlantic
ocean. This old building has been the
scene of many important church gath
erings and with it are associated some of
ths great events in the history of the
diocese of New York.

The house of deputies will meet in a
ney building which was put up especially
for this convention. When it was decided
that the 1918 convention should be held
in New York, Bishop Greer took the ini-
tiative with view to providing an ade-
quate building for the sessions of the
house of deputies which issover five times
as large as the house of bishops. The
late John Pierpont Morgan and the late
William Bayard Cutting were particularly
interested in this plan.

Author of "At Good Old SiTash-o

"OLONEL BOOZE has been one OF
the most prominent citizens of the
- British Isles for the past century
and of late wears has been very popular
in the United States.
The colonel Is very popular because
so many people are anxious to meet
him. However, he seems to have no
particular fascination, because when q
man has met him his next desire is
to get away from him. When a man has
once met colonel Boyle he isn't salts

that he is better than the colonel is. And
from this time on thew are deadly enc

The colonel inhabits the golf courses
of the world and is singularly retiring
in disposition. Many men of excellent
character anC high social standing spend
years trying to meet him and never
succeed. Nothing can be sadder than the
sight of an eminent citizen in whiskers

'thereH be no progress in that realm

might; they burn down villages by day,
and butcher folks by night They're
spreading freedom DER the land, that
boon for which men yearn; and singly,

and burn. The peepul cannot write or
read they know not why they fight;
they only know each lawless deed
brings them a strange delight. All
masterless they go their ways, with
musket, sword and dirk, and nevermore,
in coming days, will they get down to
work. The flag of license they have
held too long to let it go; when one up
rising has been quelled another one will
grow. Dead men are lying, stark and
cool, beneath the Aztec skies; but why

all summer IN his company. People
have strange tastes and none stranger
than this mysterious gent.
Colonel Boyle can he met any day
during the season by the simple process
of driving a golf ball around a nine
hole course in somewhere between 80
and As strokes. When this is done he
becomes very friendly and can be APP
preached time after time with very
pleasant results. However, there are
many men who prefer the club porch
method of meeting the colonel. By this
method the golfist sits all afternoon in
the shade of a tall sheltering high ball
and talks about driving the fourth hole
in three and approaching 30 yards over
a peach orchard. The colonel is like
other famous men. Many of his most
intimate friends have never really met
him.
The colonel for so popular a man is
slngularly quiet. He never says any
thing at all. However, this is because
he seldom has a chance. His admirers
do all the eonversing while chasing him.
