CHURCHES AND STATE.

To conceive politics as an abstraction
is TO corrupt politics. The LAWYERS
who insisted on limiting political the
ory to the legalist conception of SOW
ereignty made political thinking un-
real and intolerable. In the same way
Mr.. Lloyd George, who insists or
limiting religious thought to doctrinal
speculation, would destroy what is 10
many the foundation OF the Christian
appeal. Intellectual contemplation and
emotional mysticism are not substi-
tutes for but compliments of the moral
practice of religion. Morality tinged
with emotion" is an inadequate defini-
ton of religion, but it covers part of
the ground.
The same phrase would inadequate
ly define politics, but again it covers
part of the ground. And this common
ground, in whose existence MIR. Lloycl
George refuses to believe, is of ex-
treme value both TO religion and to
politics in days of apathy and disil-
fusion. Whether the subject under
discussion be a political peace with
Ireland or an economic peace in the
mining industry, the churches have
something more than a right to dis
cuss the moral foundations of settle
ment; they have a positive duty to
do so.
The detail must be left, no doubt.
to the appropriate authorities. But
the principle is the concern of every
citizen, and the concern of every citi-
zen. where big issues of right and
wrong come up for decision. is plainly
the concern of the citizens church,

JUST FOLKS
TmE MRNAoE or ZANE.
by Edgar A. Guest.

He went to bed humble man,
Content with all that he possessed
He thought himself no better than
His neighbors living east or west.
His hand was ont 10 all he knew.
ffom no one near WINS he estranged-@
Fame honored him ere night was
through,
And in the morning he was changed
The cheers of men were in his ears.
Some little dream he had achieved
They praised as mon have praised for
years,
He gladly heard and he believed.
The drug of fiattery turned his brain
And those who had been friends be-
fore
Could never go to him again
And find welcome at his door.
The old-time neighbors he forgot
The little house was closed for good
Henceforth he felt that he could not
BE seen in such neiChborhood;
Yet, such a little time ago
Both peace and JOY has crowned him
there.
And until fame was his to know.
The little street seemed wondrous
fair.
oh. why is it that fame should spoil
The man and turn his love to hate
Why should the brother used to toll
Forget the toiler when he's great!
Fame's but an outer garb to wear,
And underneath the worlds acclaim
And honors which reward the fair.
The man is really just the same.

advice.
The railway brotherhoods OF the
country are negotiating with the COM
panies through the Railway Labor
Board regarding many vexed ques-
tons of readju-tment in the working
conditions on the transportation lines.
The board has just ruled favorably to
the unions IN the matter of elections
of representatives TO meet representa-
tives of the management on the Penn
sylvania system for discussion of wage
reductions. In speaking of the pend
ing eight-hour decision Mr.. Planten
said to the maintenance of way en-
ployees and shop foremen that he
could not predict the decision. But to
urge in advance OF the decision that
If it is not what the railway workers
desire they should be prepared to re-
taliate by quitting work is to make an
indefensible threat.
The Railway Labor Board is the
only agency at present for the peace
able adjustment of differences between
the employees and the managers of
the transportation lines through ar
bitration. As such IL has the support
OF public opinion. II may not offer a
method Of settling points at issue
which Is always entirely satisfactory
10 all parties. but 1t alone represents
the interest of the nation as a whole.

The News need not worry itself over
this matter. True, there are no cafes
where the envoys may gather and
chat and smoke aud drink. The Wash

course no American official could let

at state functions. But it must not
be forgot that those diplomats will

Who is saving Commander New
berry from further disgrace The
is Senator Selden p. Spencer, ono OF
the leaders in the Republican party.
Spencer Is chairman of the Senate
subcommittee which has dealt rather
lenientiy with the gentleman whose
friends purchased for him a toga in
the market place.
Says the Post Dispatch. editoriaIly:
Senator Spencer of Missouri as
chairman OF the Senate subcommittee
on the ord-Newserry election con-
test, has served hts country badly.
How Truman H. Newberry was
elected to the Senate in Michigan is
well known. Money in admittedly H.
legal amounts was expended. That
money was furnished by the Newberry
family and by Newberry's business
friends The only defense Newberry
has ever offered is that this money
was raised and disbursed without his
knowledge.
"The only question. therefore, as to
Newberry's guilt is whether his as
serted ignorance of the fact is true or
false. If false. Newberry's place is the
penitentiary, not the Senate. The mani
fest duty of the subcommittee is to
ascertain the truth or falsity of New
berry's statement. Instead of dis
charging that duty the subcommittee.
through Senator Spencer and two
other members, who constitute a ma
jority. is not only lodging that duty.
but is blocking the efforts of the
other members to get at the truth.
by the vote of Senator Spencer
and two other members the subcom-
mittee has declined TO subpoena New
berry, declined to subpoena NewberTy's
campaign manager, Emery, and de-
clined TO subpena the Republican
county chairmen of Michigan, who
handled the Newberry fund. It has
even gone SO far as to refuse TO per-
NIT oral arguments by counsel as re-
quested by the contestants attorneys.
There is only one way 10 construe
this action Of Senator Spencer and his
associates. They are determined to
protect Newberry. The debauchery of
the State of Michigan, the fouting of
public opinion. the stigma on the good
name OF the Senate-all that is sub
ordinate. Their prime consideration.
apparently. is to save Newberry from
the embarrassment of having to say,
under oath, that he was ignorant OF
the vast sums of money provided by
his family and friends to purchase a
seat in the Senate for him."
1t is the Newberry case which
causes the porulace TO continue the
old cry, they are senators because
they are rich. they are rich because
they are senator's" It is the failure
of the Senate to snatch the toga from
Newberry.s form that causes the adj
ditional saying. "The Senate is the
rich mans club"
Today Newberry is the darling of
the Republican party. Let but word
be said against him, and the hirelings
Of that party rush into print and at
tempt to prove that he is saint on
this earth. Yet nothing saved this
