This ailing World
Churches Succeed Better Than Most
Institutions
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why does that threadbare, moth
eaten, rundown -at-the- heel phrase,
"Why the Churches FAIL" continue to
appear? Why not, Why the Govern
ments Fail? The people who think they
think when they speak what they think
is wisdom about the churches will find
good big piece of thinking to do if
they will set their minds to work on
Why the Governments Fail. Why did
they fail to prevent the great war? Why
do they fail to bring the arch crimi-
nails of the world, the originators of the
war, to trial? Why do the governments
Of the world fail to check the increase
in theft and murder reported by the
newspapers? Why are the political
parties of the United States failing to
put great moral issues into their plat
forms?
Why does business fail as it does in
so many ways? A very large percent
age of business enterprises are financial
failures. Business to-day is failing to
be fair in it's prices Look at the profit
oering. Why do honorable business
men fail to stop dshonorable money
making on the part of their competitors :?
Why does education fail? Only a
very small percentage of our population
gets college education. The war dis
closed a percentage Of illiterates that
astonished and frightened us. Only a
week ago I heard at one of our best
Eastern school commencements an at
tack on the rights Of 10,000,0OO Of our
people to have an education.
Do the churches fail? The churches
have just been responsible for an
amendment to the Constitution The
Anti-Saloon League was conceived in
the brain of a Congregational minister
and born in the First Congregational
Church of Oberlin, Ohio, and it pre-
sented its propaganda to the people of
the United States for more than a score
of years from the pulpits of the
| churches. The churches are the in
spirers and promoters of about all the
progress in the welfare of humanity
The first thing the propagators of q
movement ask for is a hearing in the
churches. The Governor of my state
is now asking the churches to plead for
better school conditions
Recently in another state, in a city
of eight thousand, l counted the average
weekly attendance at the churches and
compared it with the gatherings of all
other organizations, and it was far and
away ahead of them. In almost every
place In the United States Of 10000 O,
less the total weekly attendance at al
the churches outnumbers that of all the
other organizations put together
But why do not all the people 60
1t is barely possible that some who dc
not go are not in sympathy with the
church's aims. In fact it really does
seem as though there are some people
in the world who do not want to be
good ELWELL 0. MEAD.

Mr.. Cummings Hard Task

1t is only fair to remember, when
judging the conventional and rant
ing speech of Chairman Cummings,
that the speaker had difficult task.
He was fully aware what the
body of delegates thought Of the
Wilson Administration and why they
thought it. He was not ignorant
how they have apprehensively shiv-
cred lest the President, not satisfied
with the results of receptive can
didacy, should order his name to be
presented.
Surely it was a trying hour for
Mr.. Cummings. For political exi-
gency required him to embark on
eulogy. He ratified it's castanets
with what energy he could command.
To cover up his embarrassment he
resorted to rhodomontade and fell
to abusing the other party, a line Of
discourse always safe for a per-
turbed political orator.
Reading the Cummings speech, the
mind goes back four years, when
another speaker stood in the place
he yesterday occupied. This other,
Martin Glynn by name, in his role of
striker of the keynote, spoke for
peace and prosperity. He laid his
emphasis on the "he-kept- t-us- -out-of-
war" idea, on which the campaign
was made and won Now Mr.. Cum
mings is stirred to his depths by the
fact that the war came. But it is
to be noted he discreetly avoided any
reference to the amazing revelations
Of Bernstorff, who has laid bare the
secret diplomacy that the Admins
tration carried on while it's orators
and its press were at work seeking
to cajole victory by campaign of
insincerity. The war, especially
what happened prior to our entry,
will not be favorite topic of Demo
cratic speakers this autumn. That
Mr.. Cummings touched the fringes
of the subject shows that he is not
merely brave but intrepid.
Nor, if there is prudence, will
there be much insistence on the con.
tention that having at last gone into
the war with navy so per cent
ready, and an army not ready at all
and practically no preparation al
though the storm cloud had beer
lowering for nearly three years, thel
efficiency was shown. The field O
candidates at San Francisco is large
but no one so much as suggest
Josephus or Newton. Why? Doe
Mr.. Cummings or any one else nee,
to be told?
But If mess was made of war
waging, the Administration made
colossal hash Of the domestic busi
ness of the country. Matters tha
the Administration considers it un
friendly to mention are infatio
and the enhanced cost Of living be
cause Of it, the railroads, the labo
question and the extravaganza o
the government. Except for tn
check Congress has been able to ir
terpose, the country, it is to
feared, would be PROSTATE, wallov
ing in conditions which became a
most inevitable when the Presider
quit his job eighteen months ago an
with jealous suspicion refused I
designate any one or any group I
act in his stead.
Mr.. Cummings, fresh from II
/ White House, delivered such speec
as the White House asked. It i,
sisted on due recognition of IL
Great Man. There was nothing
do but to comply. But it is to |

British Diplomacy Again

so TAR as one can see, the British
must either decide to undertake a new
and considerable war against the Turks.
which means not impossibly fighting the
Russians as well, or they must aban-
don their present hold upon many Turk
ish regions, perhaps upon Arabian Bag
dad. The whole settlement of the East
ern question goes into the melting pot
and India and Egypt are again exposed
to obvious perils. And in the existing
situation in the United Kingdom a new
war, which involves a fresh appeal to
conscription, given the enormous drain
upon British regular troops resulting
from the Irish disturbances, is bound to
bring domestic political crisis
In the struggle between diplomacies in
the Near East the British, as usual, left
all others far behind. but they were so
completely successful as to deprive both
the French and the Italians of any fur
ther incentive to stay in the game, while
America obstinately refused to take
cards. Thus the result up to date has
been almost a disaster for British inter-
ests in the eastern end of the Mediter-
ranean. But it is we'll to recall that the
game is by no means over yet, and the
best brains remain with the British.

United States soon indicated an un-
willingness to undertake its part of
the task. The Greeks occupied Smyrna,
but the Italians instantly became ag-
grleved and claimed an invasion of
their sphere of influence. AS a result
they declined to contribute troops to
assist in the conquest of Turkey. Mean
time the French and British continued
tc quarrel. The French saw their
sphere steadily reduced and presently
were called upon TO witness the practi-
cal seizure Of Constantinople by the
British, which was accompanied by new
British activities on the Black Sea
coast and in Persia.
France Changes Front
In this situation the French encoun-
tered the resistance of the Arabs back
of Beirut and of the Turks in the re-
gion about Adana. 1t became clear that
to establish French claims large army
and real war would be necessary.
Moreover, it was not less clear that
the French share in the spoils of Tur-
key would be far less than the British.
In word, the French felt that the
British had laid hold of the lions share
Of the Turks estate and what remained
was not worth the price Of new war.
France therefore changed policy and
tended toward the Italian view. which
favored the abandonment of any at
tempt to partition Turkey and the sub
stitution of plan of more or less con-
cealed protectorate over Turkey by the
great powers. This would mean the
scrapplng of the treaty already drafted,
the restoration of something approx
mating the condition of 1914-that is, in
Asia Minor. 1t would mean the preser-
walton of Turkey once more. for pre-
clsely the same reason Turkey has been
saved so often in the past-namely.
that the great powers could not agree
upon a division.
The French view has produced crisis
Turkish nationalists are in arms and
their forces dominate most of Asia
Minor and are pushing up to the Asiatic
shore of the Bosporus facing CONSTANT
nople, where the British are still mas
ters. The French and Turks have agreed
to an armistice north of the Gulf OF
Alexandretta, where there has been
fighting. The Greeks have to expect a
new attack back of Smyrna at any mo-
ment. The Italians are out of the situa-
ton. Thus the whole question comes

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are e1.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! Inc
reason is plain-the article did not fulhii
the promises Af the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF 1t.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Six years ago 81. Fl. Won Schlick
could be seen any day visiting promi-
nent Pittsburgh business men in their
downtown offices. He carried Satch-
ell, and his arrival was always greet
ed by a smile Indicating welcome.
These men were his customers. They
drank at his fountain of youth" They
accredit him with a new lease of life
and the healthy condition of their fam
lilies.
Won Schlick has bright eyes and his
cheeks indicate that pure red blood
flows through his veins. He says he
was younger at fifty than he was at
thirty-five. He has never had sick
spell or any of the symptoms of the
ailments which afflicted him before he
began using a tea, the ingredients of
which were conveyed to him by an old
Bulgarian 20 years ago. Won Schlick
makes this statement: H.
II was recovering from the grippe,
was run down, and dizzy feeling in
the head, and felt like the victim of
the hoOk-worm. This old Bulgarian
knew of my sickness and while in the
office suggested, I give you Some
thing to make you feel better He
returned next day with a package
and told me to use one teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water, and to repeat
the dose once each night for little
while. He promised would never be
troubled from sickness again. l fol-
lowed the prescription, skeptical, of
course, and one day later was seek
ing that old man to secure from him
the ingredients of that tonic.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS YOUNG.
HE explained to me that in Bull
garia the older families regarded this
tonic as the great disease preventa-
tive and health restorer; that it was
handed down from generation to gen
GRAFTON. At the first symptom of any
sickness the mother or women Of the
family made the tea for all members.
It is a well-knOwn fact that Bulgar-
fans are the oldest and healthiest
people in the world.
SIN Bulgaria and the Balkan coun-
tries of Eastern Europe, in spite of
poor sanitary conditions, among
100000 inhabitants there are 1000
over 100 years old. In France there
is only one person in 100000 over
100 years old, and In Germany only
one person 100000. 1t is rare
news item in the United States when
a man dies after reaching the century
mark.
"My Bulgarian friend informed me
that his progenitors reached this time
of life and that they all had a healthy
and happy old age. Asked for rea-
