Perpetu,ty of our Nation.

The perpetuity of this gov ernment depends upon the man
 ner in which our laws are car ried out. Nearly every State
 has laws to which no attention is paid, and they reap the fruits by having all laws broken. I am not an alarmist when I say if these conditions be tolerated the Republic itself will sooner or later fall by the props of the law on which it rests being
 weakened and destroyed
 Americans are accustomed to
 regard a republican form of government as natural condit-
 ion. That such a government
 is mortal and can die is a
 thought so entirely foreign to
 our conditions that it is folly
 in the minds of some to discuss
 it.
 A glance at history does not
 lend encouragement to this
 cheerful view. Our Republic, though the best, is not the first
 nor the oldest. We have lasted now 13S years. Venice had a republican form of government for HOO years; Carthage, 700 years; Athens with various in termissions, 900 years; Flor ence, 300 years; and Rome, 500 years. These governments have long since passed from the stage of the world, and some of them are little remembered. If our government were to last three centuries longer and then die, it would go down in history as one of the most splendid and shortest lived among the wrecks with which the shores of time are strewn. What caused the downfall of these governments by the people? The people made laws until the laws be- came so many the people began to disregard their own laws The laws of Rome were good Indeed the Justinian- Code is aid to be the most perfect sys- 'em of laws ever devised by nan. Yet Rome rotted and .ell, even while the code was n operation. The laws were III TignC- put the hearts Of the oeope were not right and the avs were not obeyed.
 When the laws ceased to 'eign, the Government resting lpon the foundation of laws commenced to topple over. The 'eign of laws means the rule of he people, for majority of the people make the laws. They egister their will chrystalized n the form of statutes. We 'eed a revival of the rule of the. 'eople."

Tries to Commit Suicide on Rim of Canyon.

John Finley of Cleveland, Ohio, arrived at Grand Canyon on Sunday P. M.. He walked out near Hopi Point. Several shots were heard from that di- rection about 5:15. Finley was found near the power house at 8:15 with a bullet in him abdomen and one wrist slashed win a safety razor blade.
 He told of having conceived the idea of committing suicide on the Rim of the Canyon while seeing some motion pictures of the Canyon at a theatre in Cleveland. He had come all the way to the Canyon for this purpose.
 The following day Finley was taken to the county hospital. His recovery was thought prob able.
 Mir. Firgey's father before him was frustrated in an at tempt to commit suicide and died later in an insane asylum.

young Greeks. They had been convicted
and sentenced to death by the Turks for
an alleged attack on a Turkish woman on
the island of Mitylene during the war be-
tween Greece and Turkey, which ragged
only year before the world war. The
men were actually being carried to the
gallows when Monsignor Chrysostom pro-
duced irrefutable documentary evidence
that the men did not commit the crime
and that they were convicted by perjury.
With the help of the foreign consuls he
was able to stop the execution.
After Monsignor Chrysostom had wit
messed the agonies of the world war and
the loss of lives spent in fighting the Turks
he did not dream that they would be per-
mitted again to occupy such civilized
Christian communities as Smyrna. It was
natural that he should support with all his
heart the effort of Greece to hold Smyrna
and the coast area for civilization.
The Turks remembered well his patriot
ism, his bravery in rescuing their victims
from their clutches at the foot of the gal
lows, his consistent championship of

upon their bodies and then feasting on
the platform as the victims were slowly
crushed to death.
Reports assure us that the Turks in
their recent campaigns have followed
their old method of crushing their victims
as they did in other centuries. Playing
prisoners alive, tearing them to pieces,
crushing them to death-these are all as
much part of the psychology and moral
ity Of the Mongolian to-day as they were
two, three or five thousand years ago.
Nothing is better established than that
Asiatics do not change in morals and habits.
II seems that we ought to stop for a
moment and think seriously what it means
when a Christian archbishop is tortured
to death by 0rientals in exactly the same
way as they did it two thousand years ago.
Has the world progressed at all? Shall
we hear of Christians being fed to the wild
beasts in the circus? During the extermi-

declared next day that many were taken
for slaves.
"The Smyrna horror is beyond imagi-
nation and the power Of words 1t is n
crime for which the whole world is re-
sponsible in not having, through the civil
lied ages, built up some means to prevent
such orders as that of the evacuation of

carried out 1t is crime for the world
to stand by through sense of neutrality
and permit this outrage against 100000
women.
"Under the order to remain neutral
saw the launch of an American warship
pick up two male refugees who were try
ing to swim to a merchant ship under the
Turkish rife fire and return them to the
hands of the waiting Turk soldiers on the
beach, for what must have been certain
death. And under orders to remain neu-

world has now allowed the Turks to mas
sacre about 100000 Armenians Some
observers think that there would be no
serious interference if the Turks made an
organized spectacle of putting the few re-
naming Asiatic Christians to death.
It is interesting to know that the MUIR
dered Archbishop of Smyrna was highly
cultivated, refined and scholarly man, a
public figure, in fact, of much distinction.
He was not uncouth, uncleanly and prim-
tive, as a good many of the Armenian
and other Christian priests of Asia Minor
are. If he had visited New York he would
have been asked to sit in the chancel of
the Episcopal Cathedral with Bishop Man
ming, as other Greek bishops have been.
Smyrna was great, beautiful and veal
thy city, containing 100000 Greeks
among its cosmopolitan population. Nat
urally, such a community gave an oppor-
tunity for man of high qualities.
Monsignor Chrysostom greatly distin-
guished himself and endeared himself to
his countrymen in 1918, just before the
world war, by his brave rescue Of four

turtles, as the frequent use of his martyr
dom as a subject of religious art proves.
There is very remarkable painting of
him by the early Flemish old master,
Thierry Bouts. 1t is the greatest treasure
of the, Church Of st. Sauveur at Bruges.
Cruelty is a deeply planted, ineradicable
Characteristic of the Asiatic races. During
the thousands of years in which the Turks,
Tartars, Mongols and other Oriental races
have been plundering and ravishing they
have always practised such cruelties as
tearing prisoners to pieces with wild
horses. Assyrian stone reliefs of three
thousand years ago show the conquerors
faying their prisoners alive and commit
ting equally dreadful atrocities. The
Turks and other Asiatic races commit ex-
actly the some atrocities to-day, and
probably they number among them ineal
descendants of Assurbanipal and other
conquerors who fayed their prisoners
alive. In more recent centuries, when
the Turks were making inroads into
Europe, they had habit of tying prison
ers to the ground, building a platform

him in their grasp they
thought of all that, and
repaid him with the
dreadful martyrdom

scribed.
After all, it must not
be forgotten that the

Archbishop was only
one murder out of a
number that has been
estimated as high as
100000. His position
and the manner of his
taking off stamp the
occurrence as a special
tragedy.

that in this modern

be tortured to death
in nearly the same
manner as one Of
the first saints and
m a rtyrs Of the
Church, a figure

1t is probable that
st. Hippolytus was
really martyred in
Italy. His remains
are supposed to lie
in the famous cata-

BLUE AND CRIMSON GET
JOINT REPORT OF GAME
Washington Graduates of Rival
Colleges Dine Together at

While the stalwart warriors of
Harvard and Yale were lighting ont
their traditional grudge in the big
bowl at New Haven yesterday after
noon that part of their alumni in
Washington which could not get to
the game enjoyed it a la Morse over
friendly bowls of consomme at the
University Club.
The occasion was the first Joint
luncheon of the Yale Club and the
Harvard Club here and it was staged
on the day of the big game so that
sons of both universities might hear
the results of the battle together and
keep alive the old-time. good-natured
rivalry of college life.
A special telegraph wire direct from
the dining room of the University
Club to the press box of Ya!e's big
bowl brought the results to the
diners play by play. Many was the

DUBLIN REPORTED QUIET.
No Outbreak Follows Execution of
Erskine Childers.
; the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN. November 25.-Last night
passed quietly in Dublin and the
feeling of uneasiness caused by the
execution of Erskine Childers yes
terday seemed greatly lessened to-
day.
Friends of Childers in a statement
to the press said that Mrs. Childers
received an official intimation at gao
o'clock yesterday morning OF her
husbands execution. This, it is
stated. was the first notification she
had that the execution was fixed for
yesterday.
The statement also declares that
Childers was first told Monday morn
ing to prepare for execution and that
he was informed later that the SEN
tence would be carried out Wednes-
day morning.
Tuesday night at 10 o'clock. the
statement continues, Childers was
tod he was not to be taken out We'd
nesday morning, and up to ~ O'Clock
Thursday night he was not informed
when the execution would occur.
Meanwhile he was moved almost
hourly from barracks to barracks
He asked to see the Rev DR.. Browne
OF Maynooth. or Father Albert, the
statement adds, but the request was
refused. Finally he asked to see the
Protestant clergyman friend who was
with him when he died.
Bitter Fight Expected.
In the opinion of many students of
the Irish imbroglio, the execution of
Childers will be likely to intensity
the bitterness of the fight between
the free state proponents and the
republicans. Thus far, however, his
death has not provoked any express
sions of regret either from the old
unionists. the old nationalists or the
former Sim Fein colleagues of
ChiIders, who are now supporting the
government. The constant killing or
wounding of national army soldiers,
the destruction of property and other
acts of violence incident to the CAM
paign of the irregulars, which rightly
or wrongly have been largely at
tributed to the influence of Childersi
implacable stand upon Eamon de
Valera, seems to have robbed the
executed man of sympathy in any but
republican quarters.
There is much quiet speculation
here as to whether London may not
be looked to as the place that may
furnish the sequel to Childers' execu-
ton. The republicans regard the
Irish government merely as the pup
net of the British cabinet and they
dwell much on the speeches of Lord
Birkenhead and Winston Churchill as
proving that Cosgrave, Mulcahy and
their associates are merely British
agents suppressing the Irish repub-
licans in the interests of England.

called, Churchill delivered e violent

him to lay wreath on the grave of
