1dealism In Politics

"The Wilsonian ideal today is as in
grained in the Democratic party Of to-
day as the J~effersonian ideal,o wrote
William Alien White from San Fran
cisco to the World Thursday night.
"Wilson in his grave would still boss
this convention"
All true, as the World has pointed
out from tirle 10 time. And Mr.. White
is equally right in a further reference
to the President in the campaign:
"Him the Republicans must whip if
they win this election. And it will do
little good to abuse the man. His
ideals must be met"
Mr.. White was a delegate from
Kansas to the Republican National
Convention and was a member of the
Committee on Resolutions. He knows
the value of idealism in politics and
tried to get a little of it into the Re-
publican platform, but the Old Guard
Senators were too much for him. He
realizes, however, whit the Hardings,
the Penroses, the Lodges, the Smoots
and the Watsons of his party are in
capable of compromising, that a par
ty without idealism is doomed either
to defeat at the polls Or to disaster
when it attempts to govern New
York World.
The Penn's Grove record., 1920-07-09
The League Amendment

Taking the text of the Walsh
amendment as transmitted from San
Francisco, The World can find no fault
with it at all. On the contrary, we
heartily approve of it as a wise and
far-sighted provision for an honest
compromise that will leave the COW
enant unimpaired. No advocate of the
League, unless he puts pride of opin-
ion above the realities of the situation,
could object to it.
The plank as amended makes p
olear-"ut issue between the Democrat
is and Republican Parties. The Re-
publican Convention refused to in
dorse the League of Nations. 1t
commended all the Republican Sena-
tors who had murdered the treaty,
those who belonged to the battalion of
Death as well as those who voted for
the treaty with the Lodge reserva-
lions. If offered no hope to a war
wrecked civilization except a mythical
association of nations, an association
that exists only in the minds of a
group of Old Guard Republican poll
t~icians. To the League of Nations
that is already established, to the
League of which all the great coun-
tries except the United States and
Germany are members, the Repubi-
can Party and the Republican candl-
date are completely a~ntagonistic.
Instead OF weakening the Demo
cratic attitude toward the League, the
Walsh amendment makes it the more
distinct. 1t shows a Democratic Par
ty ~unreservedly committed to the
covenant, yet a Democratic Party that
is ready to accept any honest reser-
vations that clarity the obligations of
the United States and make them spe-
cifc. What more could any friend of
the League desire ?-New York
World.

More than half of the total investment
in higher education in the United
States is in colleges and universities
founded by religious denominations
who found in America that liberty of
theological preferences and academic
learning which had been denied to
them i'm their native lands overseas.
Today half of the $50, 900 students of
higher grades in the United States
are in attendance at these denomi-
national colleges and universities.
Upon that tremendous army equally
tremendous demands are to be made
during the next five years, demands
hat trend to restore to American col
Ieses- and universities that atmosphere
and, purpose which marked their be-
ginningS. \ world survey of the
needs Of peoples who are struggling
along withoutsknowledge of the each
ings Of Christianity and without train
ine in even the most rudimentary
courses of an academic education has
revealed to America her responsibility
and privilege. Through the Inter-
church World Movement the 400 col
leges and universities of the thirty
religious denominations which have
united on a program of cooperative
effort are to be required to furnish.
the majority of tie 100000 leaders
and workers needed. They are the
West Points and the Naval Academies
of the greatest religious movement
Of all time.
1t Is estimated that these denomina-
tienal institutions have furnished
ninety per cent of the religious Leaders
of the past. Are they to be able to
meet the new and larger demands?
No! Unless
Unless the churches return whole
heartedly to those policies which Gre
ated and developed the system upon
which modern American education is
based the effort viii fail. SO serious
IS the situation that IN 1870 half eff
the 5000 places that must he filed in
the United States atone every year

Many Bluefsh Caught

Fishermen are amazed at the num-
Der of bluefish being caught in the
bay along with the heavy catches of
weakfish and croakers. There is
much speculation as to whether these
fish have been coming from the ocean
or have propagated within the bay
proper. The bluefish is termed
"fancy" and commands high prices in
the city markets, where they have
sold as high as fifty cents a pound.
Anglesea fishermen are just now in a
harvest with this species, many bar
rels going away each week. 1t is
known that some of the small boats
have realized about 500 a week.
The demand for croakers and weak
fish continues both in the cities and
country. Dealers from the cities have
been down that way and are asking
for heavier shipments, stating that
people would rather pay the high
prices for fish thaR for other meats.
Some of the yawl fishermen are max
ing as high as $40 a day.: 1t is pre-,
dicted that this season will break all
records both for quantity and high
prices.

must be filled by unframed or only
partly trained e
Solution of the problem resolves il
self in the last analysis into terms OF
money. Unless the churches are pre-
pared to expend more than 81 for
every $40 appropriated for education
by the state solution of the problem
is indefinitely postponed if o made
impossible. This proportion is caused
by the fact that the churches concen-
trate almost exclusively upon the col
leges and universities, upon the thirty
eight students who enter college from
the LOCO who-are received into she ele-
mentary schools. And Of the thirty
eight only the fourteen who obtain
their degrees receive any prolonged
training.
1t has been demonstrated that what
a people would accomplish in their na-
tional life they must first put in the
minds and hearts of their youth in the
schools. That fhe first exponent of
this theory was a Prussian minister
of education does moi alter the fact.
The colonial colleges were quite as
successful in producing men true to
type. as were the German educational
institutions prior to 1914. Win the
church colleges and universities of to-
day prove as successful?
The thirty denominations which have
created the Intercburch World Move
ment are going, to make a determined
effort to restore the balance. Ameri-
can education<i is represented by S7S,-
S37,431 in a total, Interchurch budget
OF $~336,777,572 which is to be sub
scribed during the week Of April %.
Only foreign missions and home mis-
sions are considered more important
by the UNCONVENTIONAL leaders. And
in both departments items for educa-
tional purposes bulk large.
Wherever the church Of America exS
tends it's educational activities its is
possible to create a civilization that
is christian just as by her schools
Germany made her civilization. Mill

sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER"

Oh, say can you e by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
thro' the clouds of the fight,
Der the ramparts we watched, were
so calamity streaming ?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that u
flag was still there.
Chorus:
Oh, say does that star-spangled ban
ner yet wave
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave ?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER
the towering steep,
AS it ftfully blows, half %conceals, half
discloses ?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn-
ing . lICI OCo1I,
In full glory reflected now shines on
the stream:
Chorus:
IT'S the star-spangled banner: oh,
long may it a
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave!
And where is that band who so vaunt-
ingly swore
Mid the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
A home and a country should leave us
no more ?
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution. .
No refuge could save the hireling and
7 slave
From terror or flight or the gloom OF
the grave:
Chorus:
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph doth wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
