"Say pop," said Wallie before the meat was
served. this is funny world, isn't it? One time

Rut when the meat was brought on he marveled
greatly at the gastronomic versatility of the New

An Amazing Question.

We do not know whether TO he amused or de-
pressed by the question put to by New York
Republican, whose letter we publish in another col
umn of this issue. What has Senator Penrose ever
done he asks, to incur criticism from those who
put the claims of clean government above the claims
of partisan regularity: Nobody in Pennsylvania
would dream of asking such question. There
Penrose is known for what he is. because he has
never made any pretence Of being anything differ
emit He is commercial politician of the Cameron
Quay school and is no more ashamed of himself and
his methods than his parallels and contempo
raries here the successful leaders of Tammany.
To ask in Pennsylvania What has Penrose ever
done?" is like asking in New York, What has
Croker or Murphy ever done?" We exclude Tweed
because Tweed got into trouble with the public
Penrose was for years the controlling
figure in the Philadelphia Republican organization
whose aim it was to keep the Quaker City corrupt
and contented" He was Quay's lieutenant and
helped in all of Quay's fights to commercialize
politics in the state, to prevent election reforms, to
retain the spoils system and to the party
organization an intermediary between the inter
ests" and the people Penroses friendly relations
with the Standard Oil Company have been exposed
He was just as willing to be friendly with any
other interest good for fat campaign contribution
There may he New York Republicans who have
heard only vague rumors Of Penrose's activities.
Chestnut street is a long way from Broadway. But
there is one eminent New York Republican who can
testify to the character of the Philadelphia machine
of which Penrose has long been the guiding spirit.
Ehu Root employed counsel in 1905 by
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia, who then en-
gagged in trying to indict number of prominent
associates o" Penrose. His
acceptance OF the post of Secretary of State in
succession to John Hay compelled him to withdraw
from those cases. hut on retiring he wrote Mayor
Weaver letter putting on record his opinion Of the
Penrose machine Urging the Mayor TO do his ut
most TO secure indictments. Mr.. Root said:
There is more at stake here than the mere punish
ment of isolated offences. There is the question

CHRISTIANITY AND SOCIAL SERVICE
We Need the Latter, and Plenty Of 1t,
Says a Reader.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In reply TO Mr.. Rollinsons article,
Social Service Would Be the Negation
OF Christianity" ! wish to say that there
has been grave misunderstanding in
the Interpretation of the phrase social
service" From what l have inferred
from his article | fear Mr.. Robinson has
not been comprehensive enough, but has
restricted its meaning to the establish
ment and maintenance OF Fairgrounds.
swimming pools and gymnasia. In fact.
the phrase embraces every branch of en-
deavor tending to ameliorate the extant
social conditions.
Mr. Robinson has attempted 10 sepa-
rate social service from Christianity as
II social service was entirely alien to
Christianity. There is no need to abandon
the life OF Christ, with His sufferngs. for
philanthropic activities, for real" religious
obedience and philanthropy are almost
inseparable. Furthermore. real" religion
can hardly exist without social service.
Continuing, Mr.. Robinson says. rs hui
manitarianism TO supplant creed?" HUI
manitarianism is the essence OF the creed
Of any civilized nation or nations. and
this is particularly true OF Christianity.
Again. Are the questions of wages. ten
ements. sanitary conditions and social
uplift to become dogmas? Are these
questions to take the place of faith?
Those who favor this latest religious
panacea will answer aitirmatively. but
they will forget that these questions are
a small part of the Christian religion
In reply, altruism. philanthropy and So
cial service constitute the rock founda-
ton Of Christianity.

make Himself an object OF passive wor-

SUNDAY At PITTSBURGH.
Estimated Evangelist Will Take SIS, 900
In Eioht WAaka.


When Rev. William A. Sunday COM
pletes his eight weeks evangelistic
campaign in Pittsburgh, now in prog
ress, his collections will have amount
ed to over 100000 and his converts
will number $4,000 as the result Of his
work in the pulpit since September s.,
1909. This conclusion is based upon
carefully collected statistics by T. T.
Frankenberg. Columbus, O., newspaper
man.
During this period Sunday caused a
total of 1902 people to publicly pro-
fess christianity, and collected for per-
sonal use in free will offerings a total
OF $250,360.83: an average of $326.64 a
day for every day on which meetings
were conducted during the three years.
These totals do not include the Steu
benville. O., and Johnstown. Pa, COM
palgns. which added about 100000 more
to the evangelist's collection and made
nearly 10000 more converts. Based on
the law of averages. and considering the
size OF the city and the attendance at
the meetings in Pittsburgh, Mr.. Frank
enberg estimates that as result of his
eight weeks in the Smoky City Billy
Sunday will make between 10000 and
$4,000 converts and will leave Pitts
burgh with between s35. 900 and $4,000.
This is a fair advance estimate, based
upon the mathematical average which
he has established in his previous three
years

James x. Hackett and Company Please
in "1he Grain Of Dust"

James K Hackett, the celebrated
American actor, appeared for the first
time at the Odeon Wednesday night
before a good sized audience in The
Grain of Dust" dramatized by Louis
Evan Shipman from the novel OF the
same name by the late lamented David
Graham Phillips.
A most pleasing performance was
given by the star and his associates.
the support, for the most part, bsing
strong. Mr.. Hackett was miIably
cast in the role of Frederick Norma n.
the brilliant young New York corpo-
ration attorney, around wnom the story
of THE Grain of Dust" is buil:. Mr..
Hackett gave a most artistic inter-
probation Of the character. his real art
being evidenced in his naturalness.
Occupying equal prominence with
the star, in an artistic sense. was the
work of Rowland Blackstone. one Of the
really clever character men Of the
American stage. who appeared as Will
liam Tetlow. Mr.. Blackstone also dis
played the real art in acting, his de-
lineation being true to life even to min
utest detail.
Another very good character was
Of Redfie!d Clarke. Equally good. altho
minor role. was the Ole Timson Of
Olaf Vide. young Swedish actor.
Bea trice Beckley, in the leading
feminine role of Dorothy Harowel.
while very winsome. did not do justice
to the part. Miss Beckley evidently
lacks experience. and her work is too
stacy to be extremely pleasing. A bet
ter role was that of Mrs. Clayton Fitz-
hugh essayed by Jane Burby.
Rowland Blackstone. whose clever
character work commanded the adj
miration of the Wednesday night audi
ence, like his star. comes to his talent
honestly. Mr.. Hackett's father was an
American actor. and Mr. Buckstones
father. John Baldwin Ruckstnne. was
rated as the greatest English comedian
OF the Victorian age as well as being
a most prolific playwright. with sew
eral hundred productions TO his credit
The Younger Blackstone came to this
country as q young man. was with
Clara Morris for tim@. for twenty
years was with E H. Sothern, and
later with Sothern and Marlowe.
