A PLEA FOR PROTESTANT

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS one who was brought up in the
Episcopal Church and believes In its time
honored name. / hope that the great rep
resentative convention now convened on
Cathedral Heights will refuse to change
that name by inserting the word "Catho-
lice" in place Of Protestant The name
Protestant" means Ito testify for and
not. as some have held, Ito protest
which also was a mighty word because II
was cut by Huguenot prisoners into the
very stones of their cells. protestant
was an oldtime war cry which saved the
Church in the greatest crisis OF Its his
tory. II saved freedom In mind body and
spirit. and both Protestant and Roman
Catholic alike reaped the rich fruit Of
that struggle.
| hold that our Western principles Of
liberty are basically Christian and that
this country was made by men who at
all hazards were determined to TESTIFY Tor
God and liberty, and that representative
government, with all its faith In human
ity and Justice, Is the fruit Of Protestant
ism.
There are many in the Episcopal
Church. no doubt. who have strongly
loved the Roman Catholic Church. and
they have an especial interest In this pro-
posed change Of name. Some Episcopa-
lians who are also worthy and patriotic
citizens favor this using OF the word

The National Park Grab Delayed.

The postponement for two mouths OF the vote on
the Hetch- Hetchy bill means merely the delaying
and not the abandonment Of that detestable RAD
upon the nations finest park preserves and should
not cause its opponents TO relax in the least degree
their vigilance and resolution. 1t is quite possible
that the promoters Of the grab have resorted to
this device, in the expectation that two months
delay will tire out the defenders of the parks and
leave them TO be caught mapping when the matter
is again brought up If So they should be treated
to a rich disappointment. The defenders of popular
rights should surely be as persevering as their
would-be spectators.
It cannot be too clearly kept in mind that THIS
proposed grab Of a priceless part Of the nations
wonderland and public pleasure ground is both
needless and nsincere All authoritative testimony
Is TO the effect that plenty of water is available
for San Francisco elsewhere, if the city will only
pay an honest price for it, That stamps the graD
as needless. 1t is trebly insncere, first in the
false pretence Of necessity second In the attempt
TO conceal the sordd Joker" through which 1t Is
intended to get water power for commercial e1-
plotation as well as potable supply, and, third in
the pretence that no real harm will be done to the
marks when. in fact both the Hetch.Hetchy ana
the Tuolumne will be either wholly ruined or barred
to public entrance.
OF the dangerous precedent, which might and
probaby would be invoked against other parts Of
the national domain we have already spoken. The
only course consistent with honesty and prudence
is to meet the Ubiquitous grab in December with an
adverse vote. which ought to be Of overwhelming
proportions.

THE CHANGE OF NAME
A Layman Urges The Church Of
America"

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: On the eve OF an impending dis
cussion by the delegates TO the forty-third
ANNUAL convention OF the Protestant
Episcopal Church OF the United States
with reference 10 the adoption OF a
church name. the attention OF thousands
OF church men and women OF the country
is directed toward the subject. which bids
fair 10 be OF farreaching consequence,
whichever way II is settled.
OF the several names suggested in pre-
v!ous conventions and in the public press
with the object OF expunging entirely the
word Protestant" which is the bette
noir OF all High Church men, that Of
The Church OF America has It's advo-
Gates and its opponents. the latter basins
their objections on the ground that II ma
tionalizes the Church. II we attach the
limited meaning to II. probably IT does. as.
for instance, the valley OF the Nile.
the army Of France; but given its true
meaning. namely, that part OF the great
structure OF Christs universal church
doing its work In America. the objection
does not seem a very insurmountable one
Let me cite an analogy. one OF the most
frequent errors committed in the reading
OF the church litany by clergymen OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church is that which
limits the fatherhood OF God by ADDRESSING
the Deity as the Father Of Heaven. This
magnificent and impressive portion OF the
service opens with a supplication ac-
knowledging a belief In the Trinity. and
appeals first to each Person separately,
viz, God the Father God the Son and
God the Holy Ghost, and then collectively
10 the holy, blessed and glorious Trinity.
To each Person is given a distinctive at
tribute-God the Father, Of heaven; Goo
the Son, redeemer Of the World, and GOD
the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the
Father aud the Son. To make pause
after God. and TO run the words tine
Father OF Heaven together is to nuIiify
the true meaning. The duplication is to
Goo the Father of all mankind, the ON
ripotent who Is of heaven.
Place. then. the proper construction on
the words THE Church OF America and

itation implied. CHUkCHMAN'

Making a "Record" with the Currency
Bill.

The administration plan to force through its cur
rency bill in the present special session should fail
The Tribune is not averse to seeing President VIII
son make a record" through securing the passage
In brief space of time Of two such important
measures as the tariff and the currency bills, but
currency legislation should not be passed in that
spirit 1t is the last matter with regard to which
the public wishes to see the aid of party caucus
invoked.
There Is no exigency that requires the immediate
passage Of currency legislation. And Mr.. Wilson
would have little difficulty in bringing about the
passage of the present bill, in substance, at the
regular session. for publcSpinon accepts it gener-
ally while doubtful of its details as the longest
step toward thorough remaking OF our currency
and banking system which 1t is now possible TO
take Many of the details are open to grave
question The criticisms of the seven hundred
Country" bankers assembled in Boston are not
to be brushed aside as the utterances Of con
spiracy Of big interests" These bankers may be
wrong In some Of their objections, but they are
entitled to a hearing and to consideration
better bill will result from delay. The country
wants better bill, not administration record.

The Philadelphia Wallop.

When an irresistible body Of batters meets an
immovabe body of pitchers something plainly must
hammer And it did happen yesterday.
There was a real scrap at the Polo Grounds All
the batting was not on one side by any means
But to crumple two pitchers in one game must be
conceded to be fair beginning for any team having
designs on a worlds series.
1t is dreadful array of names that Philadelphia

peace or tenderness or Christian charity in it,
They hit EN- where they amt las the immortal Mr.
Keller said. they bang them madly where they are
they bunt they wait, and then along comes Mr.
Baker and puts the right field beachers or the
fence or Westchester County on the map

Frankly, we don't know. But we will back Mr.

More Punctures in the Theory That
Mr.. Mccall Is "No Mans Man.

Colonel Asa Bird GARDENERS ingenious remarks
we're scarcely needed to unmask the MCCALL cahui-
dacy. The colonel does not believe in hiding one
real sentiments under bushel He has never pre-
tended to be better than the political master whom
he has served, and when Murphy turned down
Mayor Gaynor for denomination and put FORWARD
Mr.. Mccall instead, a Tammany stalwart IKE
Colonel Gardiner was entitled to think that the era
of pandering to appearances was over
He could not be blamed for reaching that concIu-
sion. since the choice Of a Mayoralty candldate
from the inner Tammany circle in preference TO
some serviceable outsider like Shepard, Mcclellan
or Gaynor marked departure from Murphys 1or-
mer policy Of window dressing and return to the
good old tradition Of recognizing home talent which
nrevatled when Tammany used to elect such "best
ever Mayors as Grant, Gilroy and Van Wyck. The
colonel was exhlarated by Murphy's proclamation
that true Tammanytes are again to enjoy the best
that's IN the house, and he simply said fervent
amen TO Il when he attacked Gaynor as failure
and referred to Mcclellan as that little fellow who
thought he could elect himself Governor or Presi-
dent by breaking away from Tammany Hail.

ways been a dependable Tammany man. AS
lawyer before his elevation to the bench he prohted
by Tammany favors, receiving 11S appointments
as referee After his election as Supreme Court
Justice he naturally respected the Tammany patron
age system by which he had himself profted ana
showered plums on other lawyers conspicuous for
their services to Tammany. He quit the bench at
Murphy's suggestion in order to take an appoint
ment on the Public Service Commission, and he IS
now Murphy's candidate for Mayor largely because
at the time he was designated it looked as If the
fusion forces would be fatally split by Mayor Gay
nor's candidacy and that Tammany could easily
elect man after its own heart.
Colonel Gardiner knew all these facts and thought
that he was completely in line with the new Tam
many policy Of hands face up on the table when
he cut loose with his animadversions on other Tam
many Mayoraty candidates who lacked the loyalty
which always distinguished Mr.. Mccall The voters
have taken little stock in the theory that Murphy
nominee will not stand without hitching. Ihat
theory might as we'll be put in camphor for the
rest Of this campaign.

POLITICS AND THE CHURCH
Do Resolutions on Social Reform VIC
late the Law?

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Kindly allow me, as a clergyman
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church, TO
interested fellow chu,chmen that the
adoption by our general convention or
any social reform resolutions. with the
intent OF thereby binding our church
members to act as voters in conformity
with such resolutions, would be violative
OF both our civil law and the law Of the
Episcopal Church
The law of the land requires the voter
to be free and untrammelled in the exer-
else OF the suffrage. He is TO vote ac-
cording to his own individual Judgment
ard conscience; and Is not 10 take orders
as to his ballot from any source what
ever Any interference by individual or
organization with the independence Of
voters is legal offence, liable to severe
penalties Therefore the church would
be disloyal TO the state II she should au-
either for or against any political meas
ure. policy or person. Therefore there is
but one way whereby church political
resolutions can be made TO avoid conflict
with the country's electoral laws-they
must disclaim the intent OF controlling
church voters; must admit that the voter
will be IN no wise disloyal to his church
II his conscientious Judgment should lead
him to act directly contrary to the reso-
lutions of his church convention. But
would not such attenuated resolutions be
self-stultfying and OF no value what
ever?
Moreover, the supreme law OF this
church In her prayer book. where she re-
qures her members TO obey the civil au-
thority." thereby requires all church con-
ventions to respect that independence OK
church voters which is commanded by our
civil authority" Certainly. our general
convention will respect this law OF the
prayer book. Why should not our con-
vention members assemble themselves to-
gether in UNOFFICIAL mass meetings SIM
ply as church citizens and declare their
views on social affairs? Thus, and thus
only, can they take that leadership In So

OVERRIDING the Census.

The special committee appointed to investigate
the delay in finishing the work Of the last census
has reached the eminently sane conclusion that
there is too much plling up of details in the Census
Bureaus reports. After the essential data In any
one line of investigation are obtained they are an
alyzed and reanalyzed from various points of view
of interest only to few professional statisicians.
The resulting tables lumber up the reports and
make publications of five hundred pages necessary,
when the gist Of the matter could be put into
twenty-five or fifty pages.
The committee has recommended that worked
over data costing 100000 to prepare, be discarded
outright, and that the census reports still uncom-
pleted be greatly curtailed. Practically nobody will

Our good neighbor The Evening Sun has dis
covered a second reason why this city should elect

Murphy was its first reason-a perfectly good reason
we should say one that has survived innumerable
campaigns and many victories AND is just as
good as ever it was. We don't blame our neighbor
for using it. 1t is the best in sight
or its second reason therefore, we think less,
but II is distinct achievement to find two reasons
why one Of Murphy's candidates should be elected.
The second reason Isl Murphy may win at Albany,
therefore give him New York. The logic is not easy
TO follow but vaguely-and we never expect to see
the logic Of our ti-Nurphy Murphy contem-
poraries otherwise than vaguely-wel, then, vague
" we make out that our neighbor feels that it
would be a fine piece Of spite, or righteous indig-
nation. for the decent citizens of this community
to turn the city over to the boss because they
think he ought to be and may not be defeated in
the state AS we said before, we don't think this
g so good a reason as the one which urges the
election Of Murphys nominee as the leading anti
Murphy candidate.

The Philippine Veto Power Should Be in
the Philippines.

The boast or the promise of the new Governor
General that every step in the new policy in the
Philippines would be forward, toward the indie
pendence of the islands, was In one respect stult
fed in the very moment Of its making. That was
In the transfer OF one Of the most important rune
tons of government from Manila to Washington.
Hitherto there has been In the Philippine Com
mission American majority, which could exercise
when necessary a veto power over the acts Of the
Filipino Assembly 1t was seldom necessary to DO
So but it was always possible that urgent need
OF such action would arise. Now the commission
as well as the Assembly is to be Filipino, and there
will be no veto power short Of Washington itself
over any legislation, however lll-advised 1t may be-
We must consider this an undesirable arrange
ment OF the wisdom Of giving the Fiipinos at this
time control Of both branches of the Legislature
there is doubt. But there can be no doubt Of the
need Of veto power over every Legislature such as
we have in our states and over Congress ITSELF and
it is obvious that such power should be exercised
as closely as possible to the Legislature itself and
should be in the closest possible touch with the
constituencies thereof
That was one advantage of the arrangement
which put the veto power in the hands OF the
appointiye commission, resident body OF which
the majority were Americans It's members were
on the scene familiar with the islands needs and
able to act promptly.
A veto of Filipino legislation exercised at Wash
ington by an arbitrary American functionary whom
they had never seen might be regarded by Filipinos
as oppressive and despotic. 1t would be open to
the same objection that In anterevolutionary days
was made % the vetoing Of American legislation at
London. Instead of satisfying the Filipino agita-
tors it will furnish them with a new point OF
attack If the Filipino Legislature is to be turned
over to the natives in both branches better system
of vetoins its mistaken actions should be devised
than the one which will result from the carrying
out Of the administrations plans.
