Derby Winner Girl. When Persecution Helps. Daughters Like Fathers. Mir. Bryan on Colleges.
 By ARTHUR BRISBANE

1he EnBuSn 0eFDy IS over. SAptdiu Cutie won it. Lord Astor, once an American. had horse. Tamar. in the race. It ran second.
 The most interesting feature of this derby Is wendoiine Thomas. 80 years old. working as clerk for a small sal- ary. She won more than $25o,- 900 by investing in a sweepstake gamble. All England was interested in gambling In innumerable derby sweepstakes.
 e, The result will be an expansion of the gambling fever. Out of it will come the marriage of Miss Thomas and her quarter of million to some young Englishman who will suddenly develop a great affection for her. and live happily at her expense ever after ward-unless he also starts gambling. in which case Gwendoline will be 8 clerk once more.
 Earth's religious powers-the pope, archbishop of Canterbury, low church and high church. in England, and many others protest to Lenine against the jailifig and threatened ex- scution of Most Rev. Dr. Tikhon, who was patriarch of all Russia until Lenine removed him.
 Russia wanted treasures of the Russian church to feed the starving. The reversnt patriarch thought the church should keep the treasure. Whether Divine Providence will sym pathizs with Lenine or the patriarch you may decide for yourself.
 It is certain that Lenine Is foolish in this case. His plan is to weaken religion. He posts outside of churches the sign: Religion Is the opium of the people" But he ought to know that to prosecute is to strengthen the church.
 Lenine, 1t is said. intends to replace Tikhon with patriarch of his own picking, chosen to destroy the church from within.
 That will not work. The French kings tried establishing and bossing their own popes at Avignon, but it didn't work. The pope is still in Rome and the French kings nowhere.
 William Donovan, in Indiana, killed his wife as she held her two year old child on her lap. The board of pardons planned communication of the death sentence. The murderer's daughter, Mabel, IT years old. wrote protesting. She wanted her father to be executed. therefore the pardon board will not commute.
 strange decision. since 1t calees the daughter to put her own father to death by her influence as. he put her mother to death with his pistol. The daughters message to the pard- on board recalls Cations theory that daughters get their qualities from the father. sons their qualities from ~ theiF mother.
 Millions arc starving in Russia, children are given away to any one that will take them. thousands of bodies withered by hunger lie in the fields and along the roads. That is the story the missionaries tell. China has an army, the biggest in the world. with the exception of Russia's army More than a million Chinese are in the field, fighting each other. What can you do to help that situatfon7 Until they stop killing each other. how can outsid- CTS help?
 Mir. Bryan attacks colleges with sweeping "cross of gold" attack, Ksaying they teach 'materialistic doc &rines that destroy faith.'
 Colleges teach engineering. plumb Ing, chemistry, physics, geology, all materialistic, but not necessarily de- Rtroying faith--unless it be such Faith as Is possessed by Congo sav- ge. easily convinced that he has picked out the wrong pink -nosed idol. Mir. Bryan says: "Civilization has &no foundation except in morality" #Morality is the most important thing About civilization. But civilization is Rounded on other things, on engineer 3ng. clean streets, good sewers, farm Ing machinery. railroads.
 # To be happy. MT. Bryan ought to Visit Mohammedan schools. where tittle boys sit droning over and over dull, stupid verses of the Koran, while their teacher" perched high. ,, tdlds in his hand a long bamboo to Shit on the head any boy that stops muttering the nonsense.
 Mir. Bryan would find no ina terialistic doctrines there" No science, no hideous evolution. above all. The Mohammedan teacher and his pupils know nothing and don't want to know anything. except non sense written by Mohammed. A great welcome awaits MT. Bryan in any of those Mohammedan schools and he will find Savanarola of Italy. and Calvin of Switzerland, delighted to meet him when he enters above to spend blissful eternity looking down upon the faculties of Harvard and of other universities burning up.
