who rema ined in Albany to go over
them with the Governor.
Dry leaders have offered to make Gov.
Miller the head of the prohibition ticket.
He is seriously considering it, although
some of his advisers believe the prohibi-
ton nomination of questionable value
Should the Governor accept, 1t will be
with the express understanding that such
action does not imply a change of his
views on the liquor question. He has
always opposed prohibition, but has
taken the position that the dry laws
must be enforced as long as they are
or the statute books. Prohibitionists
favoring Gov. Miller declare that can
didate for Governor who has record
for honest enforcement Is worth inf
nitely more than any amount Of platform
declaration.
Since George A. Glynn's retirement
from the Craftsmanship Of the State Com
mittee he has been prominently men
toned for the position of Collector OF
the Port of New York as a reward for
his services to the party. Upstate
leaders. however. say that the place IS
to go to Philip Elting OF Ulster N
Lyons Sees Miller.
One of the cheeriest of the Governors s
callers to-day was Jonn j. Lyons, sec
retary of State. Lyons, although his
hope of denomination was blasted.
deprecates any suggestion that his dis
appointment may be reflected In the
vote of his friends in New York City.
Approaching Mr.. Miller to-day he said
Governor. want to congratulate you
on your nomination. You can depend
on the support of my district zoo per
cent,
The Governor, laughing as he took
Mr.. Lyons's hand. replied, Jack, 100
per cent. will be enough"
Lyons. although feeling that he was
turned down undeservedly, has not lost
his poise. This morning when a friend
thought TO speak a solacing word, Lyons
laughed. How can you laugh?" said
the long faced one. "Why wouldn't ]
laugh" countered Lyons. I'm better
or than George Glynn. I've got three
months TO go as Secretary of state and
he's out now The point OF which is
that Lyons blamed Glynn for his rejec-
ton and the retirement of Glynn from
the State chairmanship was suddenly
made>known on Thursday.
Gov. Miller kept in touch with devel-
opments at Syracuse to-day and to-
night. He made no secret of the fact
that the outcome there was of great
interest to the Republicans. Some of
the delegates left over from the Re-
publican convention said that the
strongest opponent the Democrats could
put up would be Hylan, the next strong
est Smith and the next Hearst.

Union on Tuesday and Speak
Elsewhere in City.

Republicans returned yesterday from
the State convention at Albany. con-
fident that Gov. Miller and the ticket
named with him would win against any
chosen by the Democrats at Syracuse.
They were none the less keen to learn
what their rivals would do and were
disappointed when William r. Hearst
quit the race because they thought he
would be the easiest man to defeat.
They figured that III Smith would be
the next easiest and Mayor Hylan the
most difficult to down.
The Republican campaign has been
planned almost to the most minute de-
tail. When George A. Glynn, the re-
tiring State chairman. turns State head

Stand By Fundamentals

THERE ARE THOSE who cry Education be.
= ieving that it is the panacea for all ills, the
means of ending all evil.
There are those who vocferate Religion" equal.
" sure that in the pulpit and its teachings are the
seeds of the millennium and that we need but to
"believe" to end all our troubles, and solve all our
problems.
Finally, there are those who mix their demands
and ask for religion in education or education in
religion" These are they who want the Bible
taught in public schools; these are they who insist
the pulpit is a forum for political, sectarian, scien.
tifc and sociological discussion.
They forget, these enthusiasts, that an absolute
separation of church and state is an American fun
damental. Exclusive of Sunday there are 14 hours
in the week. In the usual public schools 80 hours
a week is devoted to education. Why take from the
80 time to speak of the Bible? Why not take from
the IA hours not devoted to education, for study
of the Word? What is Sunday for? For what is
a Sunday school?
Men go to church one, two, three hours a week.
Why use those precious three hours to discuss
books, men, politics, wars, crime, sex-an the scare
head stuff that radical preacher" as opposed to
the sincere minister of God, uses to attract peo-
pie to the church?
There is a time and a place for everything; a
struction. The school is no place to teach the Bible
the pulpit is no place to teach geography or poll,
tics. Leave education to the school, reintroduce re.
ligious training in the home, give the church a
chance to do its work and the schools opportunity
for theirs, and we will all be better off, better edu.
Gated and more honestly and sincerely religious.

Prosperity Is ASKING Welcome

PREDICTIONS of prosperity to come have been
taking much space in the public press for the
past year. Opinions of many men supposedly quail
fed TO speak with authority have been sought and
eagerly published. But here Is a prediction not
based on hope or general conditions" but on sta!
tistical facts. Some New York banks went TO the
trouble to gather up the facts and present them as
real evidence. According TO these figures, bank
clearings in 165 cities are 15.7 per cent higher than
n year ago; industrial employment in New York
state. IL per cent and throughout the country 10
per cent; pig iron production III per cent; zinc
production 81 per cent; copper production 20 per
cent; automobile 80 per cent; sugar MEETINGS as per
cent; electric power production 81 per cent; build
ing contracts 81 per cent, etc.
These figures are the true index of what has hap
pened in the several activities named and form n
foundation for the prosperity of the immediate
future.
From these facts the banks draw the obvious
conclusions that real prosperity is at hand and only
waiting the settlement of upset industrial condi-
tons to be visible. AS an officer of one of these
organizations puts st: when all allowances have
been made for the clouds now overhead and for the
great seriousness of the forces of disorganization
as expressed in the strikes, the domestic economic
position presents pleasing contrasts with that pre-
vailing one year ago, when American business was
at the lowest ebb in many years. To measure some
of these contrasts is to gain the twofold conviction
that business recovery has been substantial and
that, when strikes are settled, the revival will logi-
cally continue many months before reaching the
crest of a new prosperous era"
Believing in the signs of the times, there is just
one thing to do-speed the effort to get our house
in order before the arrival of the hoped for and
prayed for and always welcome prosperity.

To Be Speeded

THE SUBSIDY BILL is to be taken up at an
= early date and speeded to final action. No piece
of legislation that has or will come before the pres
cHt congress is so vitality bound up with the future
welfare of the United States. Even the tariff does
not exceed the merchant marine bill in Importance.
1t would be of little use to protect our industries
by customs duties If our export trade Is to be han
died by ships subject to the orders of foreign owners
and operators.
Never before has the country found itself pos
sessed of a fleet ready-built to handle our overseas
trade. Never before the World war was it SO i'm
pressed upon the American mind that an adequate
merchant marine was Indispensable as a part of the
national defense. The measure now pending before
congress is the result of years of study given to the
subject by the foremost merchant marine experts
of the country, and its provisions represent their
composite judgment and that of the patriotic men
at Washington who are ~devoting themselves to their
country's good. The money cost of the subsidy, held
up as a bugaboo by the enemies of the legislation,
is insignificant when compared with the benefits to
be derived therefrom. No other form of national
expenditure will return such a large percentage of
profit.
