The American University.

Already richly endowed with opportunities for the
higher education Washington yesterday gratefully re-
ceived from the Methodist Church superb addition
to its institutions of learning when President Wilson
and great gathering Of who have achieved dis
tnction in the nations intellectual and religious life
assembled on the commanding site in the northwest
suburbs in honor of the formal opening of the Amer
ican University.
The corner stone of the first beautiful structure
was laid by President Cleveland. nearly score of
years ago in the presence of the late Bishop Hurst
whose dream of great university has now been full
filled. 1t may well be regarded as splendid monu-
nent to him and the men who jeined with him and
later continued the earnest patient work which At last

Presbyterians and Social Clubs.

The Presbyterian General Assembly, in session in
Chicago has taken radical but logical position the
liquor question, by adopting resolution calling upon
all members of that church resign from social clubs
where alcoholic beverages sold to the members of
the club to others. This resolution means" said
Prof Scanlon general secretary of the board of tenn
perance of the Presbyterian Church. that the author
tiles of all Presbyterian churches are empowered to
make church member resign from his liquor selling
clubs leave the church."
1t is radical declaration by the supreme authority
of the Presbyterian Church, but is logical than
for the church to adopt resolutions calling upon the
Federal government or any other civil government to
prohibit the liquor traffic The special report on re-
ligious bodies, published by the Census Office in
1906 gives the total membership of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America" represented
by the general assembly, I,I7o,566 and the total
membership of all churches in the United States as
3zo36445. All the churches have as members about
one-thrd of the population of the country and the
Presbyterian Church has about I-2 per cent of all
the church members of the country. 1t is therefore
appropriate that this church should attempt to dis
ciplne its members while urging the Federal
to attempt to regulate the social customs
of all the people. .-..
The general assembly might have gone further and
put the ban cigarettes since it requested the Of
ficers of civil government not to appoint to high
official positions who addicted to this form of
the tobacco habit but the elders deacons presbyteries
and synods will doubt have trouble enough in en-
forcing this decree against liquors handed down from
the general assembly without adding tobacco since it
has from the beginning been the policy of the Pres
byteran Church to recognize large measure of home
rule and leave to each organization the election of its
own ministers, elders and deacons. In fact, it has
been the claim of Presbyerians that the Constitution
and government of the United States bear strong
resemblance to the polty of that church, and that
Presbyterans furnished the model for the combination
of local selfgovernment and Federal government in
the republic Having this spirit of and authority for
local self-government so long recognized in the
church, it may be difficult for the Presbyterian General
Assembly to enforce its decree to the right of MEM
bers to also hold membership in social clubs over
which they may not be able to exert controlling in
luence as to what shall be served to its patrons.
The Presbyterian Church has had some big battles
over doctrine, but this to be the first effort
made by the general assembly to lay down rule of
social life for the members of the church. and de-
veopments will be watched with interest 1t is how
ever good plan for the churches to make this ex-
pertinent their own membership before they urge
the Federal government to try it the whole people

to go into the market and buy 5000 tons it raises
