think some of the contributors are
very insulting.

he or she should condemn it.

express theft opinions IN these col

THE PUBLIC FORUM
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SQUAD
5LE.-If we only knew the educa-
ton and standing of some Of the
writer's of articles in The Day Book
regarding the above caption, it might
be worth while to give them some
answer.
But we know that most minds that
have had no scientific training can
hardly put their facts so they ap-
peal to a scholar. Especially is this
true in the matter of quotations. The
ordinary person who has not had a
college training does not understand
the force of quotations. To such q
one quotation marks with a name
after the quote" either confirms or
condemns what the heart desires
confirmed or condemned.
A. B. H. has done well to show
L. c. the necessity of adducing evil
dence that will convict. L. c. and all
others quoting authorities should be
taught that names and words mean
nothing. The court wants the par
ticular person quoted distinguished
from all other persons; the court
also wants the time, place and all
the rest of the circumstantiaI evil
dence that make the quotation of
any value.
In most of these letters to The
Day Book there is much noise, but
little matter. They are the Iaudable
efforts of unframed minds aroused
by generous hearts that wish to pro-
tect their own. So far so good; there
is some benefit.
l should like to say to Guardians
of Liberty that they have been no
ticed by no one as yet who deserves
an answer. Who on earth is a GER
JaTlath Gibbons, or a certain Mr..
Charlton Or tho Ofbor maniac Fbof

appreciate his honesty and sincerity.
They have no apology to make for
their principles and they do not care
to consider any one of any impor-
lance who ignorantly deCTies them.
Any one interested in their work can
find them when they are wanted and
learn what they desire to know. They
are not ashamed of their work. It
has been of great value generally.
If A. B.. H. or any others need con-
victing evidence let them read the
works of jeremiah J. Crowley. Or
let them come to me and I shall give
them as much evidence as they de-
sire.
But do not care to waste my time
answering the good, honest but SUI
premely ignorant, lay people who
take up the burden of their church.
Just let them know that the other
side is not entirely crazy and they
will be careful of putting their names
in print.-W. F. MCGEE, Modernist.

those in the North-prefer to accept
the Worlds inspiration and leader
ship, rather than attempt much initia-
tive Of their own.' What appears in
the World" is repeated either verba-
tim or in paraphrase in the Demo-
cratic papers Of the country. and that
constitutes nearly the only original
journalistic contribution that there is
to the Democratic side Of the cam
paign. Able and powerful as the
world" is. one has a feeling that would
be even more powerful if it were less
partisan. Anybody who has read Mr..
PulitZer's paper for years past, as we
have, knows. for example. that the
hold-up OF Congress by the labor
unions must have been as odious to all
its traditions and to its instinct for
government based on liberty, as any
conceivable thing could be. And yet,
just because denunciation of that act
at this particular time would interrupt
partisan support Of Mr.. Wilson for re-
election, the ''World" reserves denun-
citation. And does the "World" really
add anything to it's help OF Mr.. Wilson
by calling Mr.. Hughes the wall
Street candidate" Does anybody real
ly believe this epithet? Isn't it one Of
those things which a head-long parti-
san says to please his own ears rather
than in the expectation Of convincing
anybody? We have seen it in print.
and frequently heard it stated, SO that
there is no question of delicacy in re-
printing it here, that when the late Mr..
Pulitzer wrote his will he made Mr..
Hughes, then governor of New York,
one of the trustees who were to direct
his great newspaper property. Mr..
Hughes refused the trusteeship within
a few hours after Mr.. Pulitzer died
and the will was made public. If Mr..
Hughes had not refused this delegation
of trust, he would today be one of the
controlling guardians of the World" !"
and it would in that case be perfectly
correct to speak of him as "the
Worlds candidate" What Mr.. Pulit-
and high -mindedness is the same
thing that everybody who knows any
thing about Mr.. Hughes thinks.
Wouln't the Worlds" support of
President Wilson, which is very able
and very earnest, be even more con-
! vincing If it conceded these high quail
| tiles of his opponent? The New York
Evening POST is a third paper which
| is supporting Mr.. Wilson. It's circula-
ton is much smaller than that of the
| Times" and the World" but our
guess is that it's effectiveness is much
greater in proportion to it's circulation,
just because, while advocating the
election of Mr.. Wilson, it does con-
cede Mr.. Hughes good qualities, ano
does not hesitate to point out Mr.. Will
| sons defects.

A Losing Game.

Arguing that Germany must revise
her methods of frightfulness in the in
terest of common sense and mathe-
mates. if not Of humanity, the New
York Evening Post says editorially:
Two Zeppelins lost as against 1877
English men, women, and children
killed or wounded, is a ratio which
sooner or later Is bound to rouse pro-
test in Berlin against the ordinary
Frightfulness. and create a demand
for a Newer Frightfulness. The dam
age wrought on Britain in the way Of
homes and factories burned and rail-
way lines damaged may possibly ex-
ceed the million dollar cost of a couple
of Zeppelins, though 1t is not likely.
The sixty-two Englishmen killed and
wounded just about equal the Zeppe-
lin crews killed or captured. But
and here comes in the necessity for re-
vising the methods of Frightfulness-
the Germans who died or were taken
prisoners were soldiers, and soldiers Of
a highly specialized type whom 1t
takes years to create, whereas the
sixty-two Englishmen killed and
wounded were most of them below or
above military age in all probability. or
in some other way unfit for the battle
field. The question, therefore, is
whether the Great General Staff can
afford to spend German soldier to
kill or MAIN a British non-combatant.
That spirit of cool reason and adapta-
ton of means to end which stands be-
hind Frightfulness must soon come to
see that the amount of F'rightfulness
visited upon the survivors of the
British dead is not perceptibly heavier
than the amount of Frightfulness in
flicted upon the widows and orphans
of the Zeppelin crews whose charred
bodies lie in British soil.

Advertising Religion.

Mabel B. Ury, 26 Pemberton Square,
Boston, apparently the publicity agent
of the Campaign of Universalist
Evangelism" writes the Kennebec
Journal sending the first two of sew
eral articles which we are expected to
be anxious to publish in the next five
weeks. The articles are interesting
and we'll written. They introduce to
the reader the advertising field as a
hopeful possibility for religion-and
they are a part of the medicine they
prescribe. Our viewpoint is admirably
expressed in one of the articles, which
we give for illustration. We believe
in advertising. One of the greatest
factors in human progress is advertis-
ing. Jesus Christ was an astute ad-
vertiser, and what he had for human
ity was worthy it's attention.
But newspapers with readers of all
sects. are neutral on the question of
religion. AS rule they know no
creed and advise only the common aim
-uplift Of humanity. In a general
way newspapers are interested in re-
iigious campaigns-the new and the
picturesque. They rejoice in Billy
Sunday sensationalism because it
lends spice and new interest to a fea-
ture Of our social life that Is usually
dead and -alive" as news"
Newspapers will look with approval
on any up-to.date methods OF making
the Christian religion attractive or in
teresting to those not at present in
terested or attracted. But the news
papers will not attempt to carry the
burden Of any one Of the many sects;
they will favor each advertising its
own brand Of religion at its own ex-

Editorial Comment
A Plea for Magnanimity.


Probably the most conspicuous
among the journalistic contributions
to Mr.. Wilson's support in the present
campaign are those of the New York
"Times" and the New York World"
These two papers have the largest
circulation among the morning papers
of their city, and probably could be
described with accuracy as the most
wealthy and powerful organs in the
metropolis of the country. Journal
istically, the World" is by far the
best asset the Democrats have. In
deed. from rather intimate knowl-
edge Of what the Democratic papers all
over the country are saying. one is
tempted to assert that the World" Is
so preeminent that all the other Demo-
cratic papers Of the country-at least

THE CRY OF THE HEART

By Elizabeth Powers Merrill)
The wind is still tonight
The frost lies white and cold
Upon the dying Jeaves. The river
Murmurs like soul in pain
And hurries past the chilly trees
That shiver III the autumn air.
The world is changing
But the stars are constant.
Aldeberan and Arcturus burn
Like beaconS on distant hill.
Others have looked upon this changing
World (even as you and y.
Others have seen life come and go
The springtime fullness and the flowers
Last gasp for or/breath; and they have
To know the difference twixt
Life and death. and blossom and decay
And love and sorrow.
And the pain OF life.
They questioned (eyen as you and l.I y
What lives, what. what dies, les. and is death
Are Birth and Death twin souls?
Is Death the kinder of the two?
Do flowers fade to bloom again
When they die here will they bloom
there?
And then a waking:
Or sleep we now, and shall we wake!
Sweet friend of mine, though we
Behold decay and death 90,
And frost and chill and dark and night
Though we behold all this, yet let
Our hearts be warm and full OF NE.
Our dreams grown brighter as we near
the end.
Our hopes untouched by frost OF years.
Our faith enlarged, our love
A living flower, that shall transcend
Our outward dissolution.
