the roof and sides of a hot house. The
combination Of dynamite, man and glass
happened this way: 1t became necessary
to blast, in order to remove a rock which
was in the way. Dynamite being the best
agent, the man procured two or three
sticks, and deposited them on the rock
A covering was placed over them. and
everyone retired to a safe place to watch
results. They came, with crash ana

1t went off and shattered the rock. Also
it shattered the atmosphere to the ex-
tent that the glass in the hot house near
by was so startled that it shivered vfo-
lently. and like a woman with weak
nerves, went all to pieces. That is, so
panes did. To add to the pleasure OF the
experience, it looked as though storm
was due, and it was necessary to get
eight men working in order to get more
glass to fill the holes left where the di-
vers jars from the explosion entered the
house.

Theodore Roosevelt.

If the recent contest were to prove Colo
mel Roosevelt's last battle. as certain too
eager prophets assert, he could afford tc
stand on the record.
Rarely in our history has one man
made out of his own personality and an
issue, at the outset but dimly perceived by
his fellow countrymen, a greater, Drawer OF
more marvellous battle.
The Tribune does not believe that the
battle will prove permanently to have been
lost. 1t believes that Colonel Roosevelt
has performed no moro useful or enduring
service than in his championship of what
it holds to be a true Americansm.
Having made the fight with Colonel
Roosevelt, The Tribune is perhaps better
able than almost any other newspaper to
testify how unselfish was the spirit in
which he fought the campaign and how
ready he was at all times to sacrifice per-
sonal considerations to the principles he
sought to serve and did serve.
Men of that time believed the Lincoln
Douglas debates ended in a defeat for
Lincoln. But those who came thereafter
perceived that the beginning of a new era
in American history dated from the hour
when Abraham Lincoln pinned Stephen a.
Douglas to the Freeport Doctrine.
Colonel Roosevelt has made beginning
in a fight that will go forward. He has
spent himself without stint or thought in
a cause he believed in. The cause will 60
forward and men will always remember
his part in it.
The Tribune congratulates Theodore
Roosevelt on his patriotic, useful and per-
manent service to his country in recent
months.

CHRISTIANITY AND SCIENCE"


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: No one familiar with his teachings
can truthfully deny that many of Buddhas
views were what the world calls idealistic;
nevertheless, Buddha. like nearly all other
great religious and philosophical teachers,
believed more or less in the reality % both
good and evil, spirit and matter, truth and
error. Throughout the ages. the Hebrew
prophets alone caught glmpses OF God,
Good IA the one and only cause of all that
really exists, thereby demonstrating tn, un-
substantially and impotence of matter and
evil. Not until Jesus of Nazareth appeared
on the scene, however. did one succeed in
fully demonstrating this truth. Jesus tri-
umphed over every material law and COM
pletely disposed of the belief in material
body as substance.
History does not record that any other
teachers besides Jesus and Mrs. Eddy have
clearly taught that all substance, intelli-
gcnce and power belong to God, Truth.
The name Of Mrs. Eddy is here linked with
that of Jesus of Nazareth because some
people. including Rabbi Wise, who recently
referred to her teachings as Buddhism, seem
10 pc under tne impression Ihht thelc ~
difference between original Christianity
and Christian Science. As a matter Of fact
they arc one and the same. Any sincere
student of Science and Health" can prove
this by putting its teachings into practice.
I'm the year 1866" writes Mrs. Eddy on
Page l07 Of the volume above referred to,
al discovered the Christ Science or divine
laws Of Life, Truth and Love, and named
my discovery Christian Science"
If the teachings of Christian Science are
demonstrably based on those OF Jesus OF
Nazareth, and if Jesus of Nazareth demon
strated in its completeness that which the
Hebrew prophets before Him demonstrated
only in part and at rare intervals, then
Christian Science is not alone entitled to
tho profound respect Of all Jews who believe
in the Old Testament writings but 1t may
be unreservedly adopted by them as the in
evitable outcome and full fruition Of
Scriptural prophecy Many Jews are turn
ing TO Christian Science not because Chris
tian Science Is an ism" or fad" but be-
cause they arc finding it to be the promised
day Of Israel ROBERT D. kOoo'

Interferences with Neutral Mail.
r Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: An instance Of that inherent inability
or unwilingness OF mind, peculiar 20 Anglo
mania, to grasp any point OF view which does
not coincide with its own interests is con-
tanned in the letter Of A. Maurice Low, rub
lished in The Tribune of June 4.
To see urged the right of any belligerent.
under any circumstances, to seize mai! IN
transit from one neutral country 20 another
neutral country is sufficient to require in
quiry into the advocates motives. To at
tempt to excuse the seizure because it has
transpired that secret code messages bearing
information possibly prejudcal to one &C
the belligerents have passed between two
such neutral countries seems equally re-
markable.
OF course, the consequences of such a con-
struction of international relations are OBJ
yous. Its commercial possibilities are eror
nous, and that the British are we'll aware Of
that fact and not averse to benefit thereby
have been demonstrated on several occasions.
But if there is any theory of law or reason
by which any American citizen can be pre-
vented from expressing in letter TO a cit
izen of Sweden or Holland or Denmark or
any other neutral country his opinions OF
England or of Germany or of any beligercnt,
their respective strengths or ornaments, or
any fact regarding them which he knows and
chooses TO divulge, | should be glad 20 have

wonder that such an intellectual diet
leaves any power Of mastication or as
simlation. Perhaps our souls and stom-
achs are in fact further gone than we
know. But here we are still alive as a ma
ton, at any rate, and now and then think
ing thoughts that are neither sticky nor
syrupy nor frothy. The marvellous out
door ruggedness of our democracy has
mastered pie and it has yet to yield before
the soda fountain.
Whether the invasion of London will be
successful is a different matter. We sus-
pect not And the news that soda foun-
tains have also been set up in France to
cheer the hearts of poilus fills us with even
deeper forebodings

Where We Stand.

The Tribune will Loyalty support Charles
+. Hughes.
From the morning of the Lusitania to
the present hour this newspaper has
fought for certain principles which it be-
lieved to be vital in American life.
For many weeks it has advocated the
nomination of the American who cham
pioned these principles most fearlessly and
uncompromisingly.
The man has been defeated the princi-
pies are not included in the Republican
platform and they will not be found in the
statement issued by Mr. Hughes after
nomination.
In so far, then. as these principles are
concerned. Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson
stand on the same ground, as yet.
But The Tribune purposes to support Mr..
Hughes because il believes that in all other
respects Mr. Hughes is the stronger man
and will make a better President.

Settling Irish Affairs.

1t is difficult to believe that anything
will come of the proposal to establish even
a modified form of Home Rule in Ireland
with a portion of the northern province
left out Such a solution would satisfy no
party Of any power or Importance. In
fact, it would be no solution at all. Before
the Home Rule act was passed the Nation
alists and the Carsonites alike declared
themselves unalterably opposed to the plan,
and nothing has happened in the meantime
to render it more palatable.
To suppose that the Unionists of Ulster
have modified their opposition to Home
Rule in the slightest degree would be a
great mistake. Sir Edward Carson has
appealed to his followers and supporters
to avoid all controversy (which might lead
to anything of a provocative nature but
that does not mean that he has advised
them to recede a single step from the posi-
ton they took before the war. 1t was
after a truce had been established between
the hostile factions in Ireland that he gave
this unqualified pledge to the men of
ANOl LitaoN NioNti L NllNN llOlt pl Olliloc
to 20 straight on with you in the fight We
will not have Home Rule Never" He
can hardly be expected to change his mind
now under the coercion of Sim Fein.
But if he did, if it were conceivable that
he should consent for the sake Of peace to
sacrifice his credit with those who call him
leader, it is far from likely that his OK
ample would be followed in Ulster. "The
Northern Wing undoubtedly expressed the
sentiment prevailing among the Unionists
of the North when it spoke as follows only
the other day: IF every Unionist in the
United Kingdom withdrew his opposition
to Home Rule, and if the Unionist leaders
who have grown gray i'm the fight against
what they consider a grave national men
ace were to renounce their matured con.
victions and submit TO MIR. Asquith' S
scheme, we would be no nearer a final set
Element than ever
This is an extreme view, but the North
of Ireland is full of extremists Sir Ed
ward Carson has done much to control
them and keep them within the bounds of
reason. But even Sir Edward Csrsons m
huence is limited.

America Across the Seas.

The setting up of a soda fountain in
Selfridge's is far too mighty d phenomenon
to be overlooked even i'm the midst Of a
great war. Goodness knows that the man
from home has heretofore found few
enough American vcrities to warm his
alien heart. Boston rubbers and American
shoes and Singer sewing machines hold
little throb of romance to bring tears to
the eyes of a stranger athirst i'm a strange
land. OF course, there have lately been
appearing focks Of fivyers upon the high
ways Of England; and Edgar Allan Poe
was always very highly spoken Of by lit
orary France. But the real stuff of Amer
lea, our baseball, our magazines, our
drinks, our 0. Henry, has never crossed
either ocean. Isolated we have lived al
home and lonely have we wandered abroad.
a high rank must be conceded to frosted
chocolates and marshmallow nut sundaes
among our household gods. Wretched iced
confusions of warning elements that thev
seem to minority, the soda fountain
mania prevails from coast to coast. Il
exists side by side with taste and intelh-
gence upon other topics, and apparently
has not nearly the destructive effect upon
souls and stomachs that might be feared.
Its sticky, syrupy froth furnishes the body
exactly what our sentimental fiction yields
to the mind. Let Us say that the American
magazine is the soda fountain Of our liter
ature and, for the reverse, it is a pretty
accurate picture to think of our magazine
editors, dressed in white before a great
polished machine, drawing swiftly and
dexterously vanilla love stories and
frosted chocolate love stories and occa-

Common Sense Holidays.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One of the most important uses OF
general holidays is that Of giving rest to the
thousands Of shut-n city workers. That
plan of observance is best which works out
most efficiently in this respect. Il is probable
that the community as a whole gets more
benefit from Labor Day with less disturb
ance of businessl than from all the other
holidays combined.
A common sense readjustment would be as
fellows:
New Years First Monday in January.
Washington Day-Third Monday in Feb
ruary.
Memorial Day Last Monday in May.
Independence Day First Monday in July
Lincoln Day First Monday in August.
Labor Day-First Monday in September.
Columbus ay-Second Monday in October

tains another holiday 10 one Of the lonG

That the actual natal day should be kept is
certainly of comparatively little Importance
II This matter could be taken up by the en-
ergetic and effective women Of the Con-
sumers' League, who have accomplished 80

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It might be interesting to note why

conditions of vertical transportation to that
of horizontal travel in so far that if one en-

ately obeyed when asking: please move TO
