The Entire Universe Il q Miracle.

To THE EDITOR or TIE SuN-Sir. You
are right In saying that nature and re-
ligion can never he rid of mystery
miracles or magic you may call IT,
For him who attributes the universe to a
Creator the transition from nothing to
something is most mysterious and
certes. for him who does not the existing
world Is a huge miracle. 1t is a fair
Inference. therefore, that in respect Of the
mysterious religion will ever he what II
has been up TO now. Its very source
and centre and object being infinite. IT.
self must needs be a thing of mystery.
Nor can any man by cutting out religion
rid himself of resort TO magic mir
acle' or mystery for an explanation OF his
own and "a worlds existence In this
general respect all men are on equal foot
Ing. The philosopher who insists on a
religion without mysteries must turn his
exclusive thought upon the field of mys-
terry in this world. 1t should be tru-
ism that no sort OF reasoned scheme of
the universe" is toerable which is not
reasonable. Better he with the dead than
on the torture OF an irrational theory to
lie In restless ecstasy.
Your admiration is rightly reserved for
the courageous thinker" But poor, dis
regarded. dishonored dogma" should
henceforth go by the honorable name of
its equivalent. ''prlnclple." The synonym
is not destroyed by the diversity of method
employed in establishing a truth OF rea-
son and accepting a doctrine of faith, for
both methods are consonant with our in
tellectual nature. The principle is ma
lures dogma. Without this to begin by
and stand upon the most heroic thinker
cannot reason at all. A dogma or prin-
ciple may be false or II may he true In
every case II should have a fair trial be-
fore being sentenced.
The poetry" OF religion Is on a par. I
imagine. with the delightful though hcti-
tous and fanciful estimation of Santa
Claus you kindly republlshed at Christ
mas and for parallel reasons, I suppose
should never be supplanted by stern. I'M
poetic truth. J. \. NJ.

national bank examiner was despatched
BY Mr.. WILLIAMS was wholly without
warrant in law. 1t makes no differ
ence that the banks surrendered the
correspondence to the examiner. nor
is It to the point whether the surrender
was made in response to request or a
demand. When a governmental officer
who may act as Judge. jury and exc
cutioner in the case Of an individual
or institution asks for something he is
quite likely to get 1t from the individual
or institution even II he is not entitled
to obtain II.
According to the Washington des-
patches Mr. WILLIAMS admitted the
foregoing facts to the Senate commit
tee. He has thus shown himself to be
man capable of misusing and abusing
power, and the appointment Of such
man to be Comptroller Of the Cur
cncy Is alarming when It Is considered
what the powers Of the Comptroller Of
the Currency are under the Federal
Reserve act.
For one thing he IL to be the Official
examiner or inquisitor in the new Fed
eral reserve system. Without taking
into account the inquisitorial powers
vested in other arms Of Government
by the act, the Comptroller alone can
pursue any bank with the torment Of
incessant examinations and inquiries.
On him alone among all the officers
and official bodies in the Federal re-
serve system Is conferred the power
Of converting the banking business
from one Of confidential relations to a
business Of shrieking publicity.
In section 90 Of the Federal Reserve
act there is the following sentence
relative to the activities Of bank ex.
aminers:
mo examiner. public or private. shall
disclose the names OF borrowers or the
collateral for loans Of a member bank to
other than the proper officers Of such
bank sctthout first harino obtained the er-
press permission IN tcritin0 from the
Comptroller Of the Currency, or from the
board Of directors OF such bank. except
when ordered to do 80 by court OF
competent Jurisdiction. or by direction OF
the Congress OF the United States. or OF
either house thereof or any committee
OF Congress or Of either house duly au-
thorized."
This places the Comptroller Of the
Currency on level of proscri1tive ali-
thorlty with the courts and Congress.
If the Comptroller Is n man capable
Of abusing power. whether or not he
exceeds 1t. he can pursue any bank in
the Federal reserve system which has
incurred his displeasure with a policy
Of blazing publicity for its affairs which
will force 1t to close it's doors. Few
borrowers would care to do business
with Il bank out Of favor with the
proscriptive authority, because its I'M
fortunate position might lead to the
publication Of their loans.
II the other nominations which Pres
ident WILSON makes to the Federal Re
serve Board are In keeping with the
standard set by the Williams appoint
ment there may be a greater rush Of
banks TO get out of the Federal reserve
system than Is now making to get into
that system.

Lo. Asraels call none may deny,
Nor 'scapc It's universal rule;
Nor young, nor old, nor wise nor fool
Nor rich, nor poor, whate'er tho dover
Before this last relentless hour
All. all are one: the yelling eve,
The clutch at throat, the unguished cry
And sorrow with Its broken sigh.
And gricf that no mere form may school.
Tell only as the moments fly
OF mortals due mortality
At Asraels call.
And yet tho rose blooms not In vain,
Nor lily opens chalice wide;
Their perfume ever Will abide
" humhlrst cell performs Its part;
he mortal e'cr the mind and heart
None need from high acclaim refrain,
The world loves well It's hero strain.
Far reaching. broadening, without stain,
Tho great know naught of eventide,
Their stamp forever will remain
Though all elsa vanish, perish, slain, -

This cabin Is detachable and with
quick manipulation rises to the sur
face. Four other boats Of the Gus
tave Zede type are under construction.
The Italians in their latest submarines
have a safety turret which can be her
metically sealed in case Of accident
and Immediately detached from the
hull. In a recent trial at Spezia one
Of these turrets was released upon
telephone message and rose to the sur
face in a few seconds with every man
in 1t conscious when the turret was
opened.
The submarine since its adoption has
taken large toll Of life. but no navy
can AFFORD to dispense with It. Its
possibilities for attack are incalculable.
Last summer the task was set one Of
these hornets TO enter the Firth Of
Forth unobserved. Her success was
complete. She passed men-of-war an
chored near the Forth bridge. eluded
the batteries at Inchkeith, reached the
naval dockyard at Rosyth and returned
to deep water. 1t was not until she
reported at Dundee on the Firth Of
Tay, many miles distant, that anything
was known Of her operations.
II submarines can be made safe
against the risks Of laundering they will
become the most useful units Of fleet
engaged III blockade work. In the old
type Of boat the dangers Of service
seem almost prohibitive. Concern for
the security Of brave men should re-
quire that 1t be replaced by vessel
with detachable cabins or turrets.
