The Outlook for PenrOse.

The extent of Senator Penroses victory IN the
PENNSYLVANIA primary has been much exaggerated
The vote cast in the Republican Senatorship hgnt
was about 3OO0Oo-sghtly exceeding the vote Tor
tn. Taft ticket in 1872. Penrose received ABOUT
100000 votes-apparenty the maximum strength OF
the Republican machine.
The Republican registration in the state is put at
6Sl,4s5 With the odious reputation which he has
made for himself as an ally Of all that is evil III
politics there is little to think that Penrose
can obtain the support at the polls Of more than
third Of the enrolled Republicans.
Ex-Mayor Dimmick has refused to support Pen
rose How could he do otherwise? His platform
was: "Penrose is moral issue" The issue re-
MAINS and every Republican with self-respect must
face it. Penrose has a record which success in
primary cannot whitewash. The longer he stays in
the field the weaker he will get
PENNSYLVANIA tolerated men like Cameron and
Quay because their evil qualities were balanced by
intellectual audacity and by marked gifts Of leader
ship Penrose is merely podding and common
place He represents commercialism in politics re-
duced to its barest and most uninviting terms.
Murphy could probably poll 10000 votes in this
state as candidate for Senator in the Democratic
primary. But that would not prove that he could
be elected. We decline to believe that Pennsyl-
vania will disgrace herself by eIecting Penrose.

THE RELIGION OF THE FUTURE
Service, Not Self.Centred Optimism,
Should Be Its Rule.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Mr.. Rolllnson's Views in regard &c
THE Religion OF the Future" as ex'
pressed in letter to The Tribune, are
interesting as being typical Of perhaps
the majority of professed Christians Be.
cause l found occasion to emphasize the
need OF social service in our churches
both in spirit and in fact, our Christian
, friend concludes that I must be afflicted
! with "a bilious stomach"
/ IL is the armor plate OF self-centred
optimism which, il Christianity and the
other religions are to live up 10 their
names, must in the opinion Of the writer
| be worn with moro discrimination. The
/ quality OF optimism was neglected in not

graces. But when It is used, or abused
TO ignore the existence of crying evils
which do not directly affect ones self. at
| least in a material way. and to make OF
the spirit Of human brotherhood but q
mouthing OF words, it should be classed
as a not inappreciable sin.
Last year in England 5000 children
were starved and neglected. -Four thou

flogged, burned or maltreated. Twelve
hundred of them died of their injuries.
Every year from Chicago there are se.t
5000 girls to wallow in the mipe OF the
white slave traffic. 1t requires but a
Journey through our tenement districts to
realize that millions upon millions Of
human beings are, by reason of their
poverty, not only stagnatinS, but rotting
mind, body and soul. In face OF these
evils and countless other evils which may
bs without exception attributed to an
inequitable social system. and which are
not confined to small portion, but affect
the lives OF 70 per cent OF humanity, is II
exaggeratlon 10 state that the world as
1t stands is pretty poor sort OF place?
There is no need to quarrel with rite
and ceremony" per Sc. Their influence
has been and continues to be largely for
good. But in looking back upon religious
history, IL were futile TO deny that the
form OF religion, varying from human
sacrifice to idol worship, has often flour
ished at the expense OF the spirit. There
is a growing and commendable tendency
to-day TO change this order and to cult
yate the spirit in preference 10 the FORM
We are told that the social service move
ment in our Protestant churches does
not offer anything that is not already
embraced in the programme OF Chris
tianity." When, upon our advocation Of
the need Of reform, a member OF the
Church Immediately raises a cry In pro-
test that the world as 1t stands is good
enough for him, it would seem as though
the matter OF form were still in the
ascendant.
Mr.. Robinson to the contrary, my con-
clusion did not conflict with my premise.
The fact that there is still vast room for
betterment does not contradict the belief
that the world is more truly religious to-
day than ever before. a fact which is at
tested TO by the increasing number OF in
dividuals who are truly seeking 10 better
conditions

Insurrection in Albania.

The King Of Albania, on his throne only couple
Of months. is threatened by serious instruction.
4 few days ago he arrested and deported Essad
pacha. the chief of the Mahomean element and the
most powerful and dangerous man in the Cabinet.
Now Essad's followers have risen against the gov.
eminent and have defeated its troops.
In the southern part of the kingdom the Eprotes
are still reluctant 10 forego their ambition to be an
ncxed TO Greece and Greece is very slow in rebuking
their LOYALTY TO the mother land As matter Of
fact Albania is a thoroughly artificial political
entity. 1t contains elements at odds with one an
other over questions Of race and religion unframed
in agriculture or industry and unused 10 the re-
straints OF modern civilized government. Its life
and institutions are much the same as they were
four or five centuries ago.

Life" and Conversation.

Shop talk is taboo, say, but most Of us think it
depends a good deal on the kind of shop. Some
shops touch more of life than others; whereas the
shoptalker who is commercial traveller floor
walker may find small sympathy when he tries to
interest us in his private concerns the journalist
novelist or poet (and some living poets incor

and heart TO us. Yet books, after all, only pro-
fession, like any other.
We know factory manager who is also land
owner; he farms thirty-one acres aud is fast i'm
proving his land. We could enjoy his talk if
he were lust a factory manager-for he is 10
brilliant conversatonalist, friend he is exceed
ngly literal, and he is one of those supposedly
educated persons who never read book through
in all his born days. But his farm saves him. Any
one who wrestles with the land has contact with
life in its most vivid and vital forms. Immature
individuals talk about going 10 the city and seeing
life''-but the kind Of life they mean is an uncom
monty poor substitute for the life man leads when
he is planting an orchard and tending livestock and
growing truck and making his farmhands happy
enough 10 stay on the job. Even thirty-acre farm
contains a good deal of life And makes for con-
versation.

The Americ anizatiOn of Canada.

The concern Of "The London Times and other
representatives of. British imperial sentiment over
what they call the AmericaniZatiOn Of Canada is
becoming acute. When the English postofice au-
thorities baked at meeting Canada'S demand for a
fair division of the cost OF circulating English
periodicals in Canada "'Ihe Times criticised the
governments policy as anti-imperaistic and parsi-
monious. If the circulation OF English reading
matter in the Dominion was not stimulated, it
asked, how could Canadians be kept from imbibing
heterodox notions from much more widely circu-
lated American periodicals?
Now fears for Canada's future have taken still
wider range. THE Timess" Toronto correspondent
has written a couple Of articles the invasion Of
American ideas and his warnings are being ear
nestly recommended TO the attention of British
statesmen. Among the insidious influences he
names, besides the magazines sports newspaper ser
vice connections labor unions and the moving pict
ure films. Baseball has become popular and cricket
is obsolete. Even lacrosse hardly holds its own
against baseball In this field the ancient British
flavor is gone.
Through close newspaper associations Canadians
read dispatches about British politics coored by
the American democratic spirit In these dispatches
the Ulster movement is sometimes spoken Of dis
paragingly and painful suggestions are made that
Mr. Bonar Law does not rank with the greatest +
parliamentary leaders. Mexico crowds Ulster off
the first page and the standard by which the i'm
portance of events is judged becomes American
rather than British.
The movies present only American subjects,
and in trade unionsm as well as IN baseball there
are associations operating on both sides Of the
border 1.-The result says "The Times" III these
conditions permanent, only be steady
drift Of the Canadian mind away from the prac-
tees and traditions of the Mother County,
That drift is strong and so natural that even
paying the entire cost Of shipping British periodi
Gals to Canada would hardly check il. Political
relations apart, Canada is now American and will
become more rather than less so. She belongs to
the New World and must develop in the freer New
World way. Two peoples so nearly allied as those
of the United States and Canada cannot be kept
from mutually helpful intercourse by an invisible
boundary line. Whatever Canadas political destiny
may be, in commerce. industry, education and social
institutions she cannot well avoid seeking and well
coming a larger measure Of friendly intimacy with
the United States.

TWENTY YEARS OF SUFFRAGE
Has It Ended Republican Government
in Colorado?

To the Editor - The Tribune.
Sir: Dorchester correspondent writes:
lit is now known that the stopping OF
the slaughter in. the Colorado coal fields
was brought about by the women" With
out questioning the truth of the statement
or dispara ging the results brought about
by the Womens Peace Society, one can
not in strict justice ignore the fact that
the women OF Colorado shared In tho re-
sponsibility for the conditions which led
up to the necessity for importunins the
Governor to telegraph for federal troops.
But there seems to be a reasonable
doubt that Incidentally this is fresh
proof that the ballot adds to women's in
1uence." Judge Lindsey, the suffragists'
much quoted authority for Colorados
superiority on account OF women's votes,
declared yesterday to the President that
there is no republican government in
Colorado" Is this the result of twenty
years of woman suffrage?
