NO ACTION YET
AGAINST RECTOR

EASTON. Md. Oct. 2s-No formal
moves to unfrock the Rev. Samuel
Davis Mcconnell. retired Episcopal
minister, whose book. Confessions
OF an Old Priest" published Wednes-
day. quest ons the divinity OF Christ
and attacks the rites and forms OF
the Christian Church. will be made
BY the Diocese Of Easton.
Bishop George Davenport said
that although DR.. Mcconnell is a
resident Of the diocese he is not con-
nected with the diocese in any way.
and hence does not come within the
supervision OF the diocesan authori-
ties. Any moves to discipline the re-
tired minister. said Bishop Daven-
port would have to be made by
some central body OF the Episcopal
Church, probably the House OF
Bishops.
He rarely breaches in the Epls-
copal Cathedral but during the alb
sence Of the rector Of Christ Church
he has occupied the pulpit.

THROTTLING DISEASE.

From the New York Herald
DR.. william W Keen. OF Phila-
delphia, is one OF Americas most
distinguished surgeons. His career,
which spans nearly sixty years. COW
ers the period OF greatest advance
meni IN medical science II IL there
fore particularly encouraging 20
hear him sly. as he did before the
American College OF Surgeons in
Boston; We are gradually
throttling disease az It's birth and
preventing It's onslaught upon the
health of the world"
Great as the advances Of medicine
and surgery have been in his life
time. DR. Keen evidently believes
that the achievements OF the pioneers
IN anaasthesia and the revolution
wrought by Pasteur and Lister have
merely laid the foundations for a
science Of human health whose
power we can only guess.
When Or. Keen began the study OF
surgery In 1860. anaesthesia was
just coming into use. Together with
anfiseps 70 has immeasurably ex-
tended che field Of surgical opera
ton. The development OF bacteriol-
ogy has shifted the emphasis in mod
ern medicine from cure to proven
ton. One by one. man has discov-
cred the v.rulent enem es that beset
him in invisible forms. Some day
probably he will know them all and
will know also how to attack and
defeat each Of them.
The war against disease has been
carried 70 the breeding places OF the
worlds plaques. China. where many
vrulent .pandem'cs have originated.

no more than scratched the surface

and even eliminate diseases. as
smallpox has been eliminated from
New York.
z II IS not merely hope which spurs
the scientists forward in their re-
searches. They know what has al
ready been done. and that knowl-
edge Is sufficient security for the
least sanguine OF men TO expect that
in the course OF time the majority -
human beings will die only when the
natural breaking down OF bodily IS
sues makes longer life impossible.

THE IRISH CONSTITUTION.

From the Washington Post.
The dali eireann has kept faith
with the British Government and
B with its own dead leaders. Grim
and Collins. 1t set itself promptly
to its duty OF framing a constitution
AS. required by the terms OF the
Hiberno- English treaty. and despite
abuse and intimidation and the
, havoc and horrors Of civil war Il
stuck doggedly 10 It's task until IL
brought it 10 a triumphant conclu-
sion.
The constitution. as finally pass
4 ed. IL one Of the most notable doc
uments OF modern times. II Is
a charter OF liberty in every true
sense. II grants and guarantees
political and religious freedom in
the Irish Free State. II preserves
intact the right OF association and
OF peaceable assemblage. II gives
the vote without distinction TO citi-
GEMS OF both sexes. II makes Irish
the national language Of Ireland. but
having affirmed the Irish Free State
TO be a coequll member OF the com
munity Of nations forming the Bri-
tish commonwealth OF nations. Il
recognizes English as being in the
same degree the official language II
declares. In accordance with the best
friend of modern thought. that all
the powers OF the government and
all authority LEGISLATIVE. executive
and jud p al--are derived from the
peop'e and must be exercised In con-
formiw with the constitution. u
gives TO the parliament OF the Irish
Free State the exclusive RICH; to
raise and maintain an army. Great
est achievement Of all It makes the
executive council responsible TO the
chamber OF deputies.
The document. as now drafted
has yet to be sanctioned by the
British parliament. A difficulty
arises here because Of the fall OF
the Lloyd George government.
which originally negotiated the
treaty. The most probable opinion.
however. is that the new govern
ment and the new parliament will
consider themselves bound by the
acts OF their predecessors and Will
give the necessary ratification with
in the time limit agreed upon. a
new era will thus dawn for Ireland.

oPENNsY's" DIVIDEND

From the New York TT bune.
The Pennsylvania Railroads re-
turn to a per cent. dividend basis
marks another swing back toward
economic equilibrium. one OF the
largest corporate enterprises IN the
country. with a very widely diffuse
ownership. again becomes fairly self
susta ming through release from gov
ernmental restraints. a body o
stockholders which has borne an eX
cessive share OF the war burden {
at last relieved from economic pur-
gatory.
The railroad stockholder not only
did his own war bit. but the bit Of
many others He was singled out
as the only investor who might not
prohteer. His returns we're limited
by law 20 the average OF three pre-
war years. The excess profits tax
could not affect him. The govern
ment saw'to Il that there should be
no excess or war profits.
While he was drawing pre-war
dividends other Industries reaped
fabulous profits Imitation caught
him with a stationary income and
cut 81 In two. And while he was
getting a so per cent return. COM
pared with pre-war purchasing pow
er. his property was being oper-
ated 70 its detriment by the Federal
Railroad Administration. The roads
were overmanned with overpaid en-
plcyes under the wasteful McAdoo
regime. Wages were increased up
