The city is agog over the action

o o Q Q Q o O o Q O Q Q Q Q Q

Tho cause of America and of lib
erty is the cause of every virtuous
American citizen.
Let us as a nation be just; let us
fulfill the public contracts with the
same good faith we suppose our
selves bound to perform our private
engagements.
May our country never want props
to support the glorious fabric.
Nothing will hasten peace more
than to be in condition for war.
My first wish Is to see the whole
world at peace and the inhabitants
of it one band of brothers. showing
who should contribute more to the
happiness of mankind
The cause of liberty and virtue is
confined to no continent or climate.
It comprehends within its capacious
limits the wise and good, however
dispensed and separated in space or
distance.
Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire
called conscience.
Let us then rely on the goodness
of our cause and the aid of the SUI
preme Being, in whose hands victory
is, to animate and encourage us to
great and noble actions.
l hope I shall always possess firm
ness and virtue enough to maintain
what l consider the most enviable Of
all titles-the character of an hon
est man.
Success will crown our efforts If
we firmly and resolutely determine
to conquer or to die.
The nation which INDUCES toward
another an habitual hatred or an
habitual fondness is in some degrees
a slave 1t is q slave to its animos-
ity or to its affection, either of which
is sufficient to lead it astray from its
duty and interest. Antipathy in one
nation against another disposes each
more readily to offer insult and in
jury, to lay hold of slight causes of
umbrage, and to be naughty and in
tractable, when accidental or trifiing
occasions of DISPUTE occur.

Among the Younger Peo-

MORAL AND SPIRITUAL DRIFT
Is Toward ViciOusness and the
Most Unnatural Outbursts
OF Passion.
A FEW INSTANCES IN POINT

The appalling frequency of what
may be called unnatural crimes is
often the subject of remarks these
days. The case of the Updike broth
ers, at Chicago, who confessed plot
ting the murder of father, mother
and sister that they might inherit
the family property at once; the
charge brought against John Edward
Teiper in connection with the mys-
terious shooting near Buffalo, of
which his mother, brother and sister
We're victims; the young university
student who is alleged to have given
quick poison to his sweetheart at
Lake Forest, and to have calmy
watched her passing; the attempt at
wholesale poisoning of Catholic prel-
ates and priests at Chicago last
week, are recent incidents in what
appears to be an unusual and per-
culiarly devilish epidemic of crime.
directed against those who, through
ties of blood and tenderness and
respect if not reverence, should be
safe from such assaults. Surely such
horrible occurrences were not SO
common % or 80 years ago. The
crimes of Jesse Pomeroy and. Irving
Latimer were unique in the records
of those days. Has the public become
so familiar with the horrors of war,
its carnage and bloodshed, that it
can contemplate them with indiffer-
ence? Do they fill the mind to such
a degree as to make men callous and
-blooded?
These are not the crimes of the
uneducated and unintelligent, but
of those who have had social and
educational advantages. Another
frightful fact is the youth of the Of
tenders. We need light upon such
circumstances. May it not be found
in the progressive elimination of the
moral and religious element in edu-
cation? 1t is generally accepted that
the existing regime for moral in
struction, as found in modern edu-
cational machinery, is ineffective.
Our schools do little for moral train
ing, yet more and more are usurp-
ing the duties and offices of parents.
There is a moral and spiritual decline
in the youth of to-day that Is bear
ing fruit in crime. Society is suffer-
ing from a moral disease which
springs from a constant contempla-
ton of evil and evil effects. We lool,
to laws to defend human life, but
laws cannot overcome the moral de-
reflections of society itself. Without
moral training, conscience is un-
developed, or wrongly trained to eX-
pediency and convenience. Such au-
thorities as DR.. Eliot, President
Schuran, Cornell; DR.. Adolph Berle,
and others as competent, declare it
as important that young men and
young women be moral, even "relig-
ious,'' as that they be educated. Yet,
what are We doing to that end?
