Charles T. Murbhy

LEADERSHIP such as Charles F. Murphy
won and held does not come to mediocre
men. Only superior mind and a rare
personality could have compassed the career
of this chieftain of Americas most potent po-
litical clan. Whatever may be thought of
Tammany Hall, the man who rose from
humblest beginnings to its highest post and
who over a long span + stormy years kept
It national power needs must be recog-
.nized as rich in those talents of which gem
rails and diplomats are maGo
From childhood Charlie Murphy was a
eader. In the set of his shoulders, in the
glance of his eye, in the unspoken but keenly
cit qualities of his character, there was that
which his comrades, boys or men, were ready
o follow Born poor and brought up with
lis way forward in the nations greatest city
where competition is most relentless, and
stood at length the master of its mightiest
political power.
More than a will of iron and more than a
mind marvelousy shrewd went into that
rare achievement. The Governor of New
York. himself a veteran Of the hardest
fought political fields and man of utmost
composure, when told the news of Murphy's
death--"His eyes filled with tears the re-
porters say, "his voice choked with grief;
and all he could say was, No man was bet
ter friend" There, evidently, lay much Of
the secret strength OF Tammany's grizzled
chieftain-his loyalty to friends. his hold
upon mems hearts.
Truly is the web of our life "a mingled
yarn, the good and ilNtogether." Charles F.
Murphy was a political boss, head of the
machine" charged with more of evil influ-
snce than any like organization on the CONT
nent. Yet, he was so stalwart, so faithful
and in his realm so true that all admired
aud many loved this silent man.

then the readjustment must give Germany
positive rather than merely negative place
in the scheme Of things, and must give
chance to those of her leaders and her peo-

than for antagonism and intrigue.
Thus there can be built up in the heart OF
Europe a true and friendly democracy in

McAdoo s Star KEEPS Rising

IrTHE emphatic verdict Of the Democrats OF
Iowa in their recent Presidential pref
e erence primary is we'll interpreted by
David Ladd Rockwell, chairman of the ma
tionaI "McAdoo for President Committee,
as "a rebuke to the baseless charges, insin-
uations and innuendoes made against Mr..
McAdoo's candidacy" AS in Georgia last
month so now in the Hawkeye State>a fair
party's foremost progressive and condemns
his traducers.
This is the natural course for informed
and liberal Democrats looking for leader
who can win. If they were swayed by every
gust of gossip, or if they were reactionary
rather than forward thinking, or if they
preferred a nominee so patterned after Re-
publican ideas that his defeat would be
foregone, they assuredly would not be for
William G. McAdoo. But as men and women
who believe in their party's historic princi-
pies and who see how important it is for
Americas good that the next national ad-
ministration shall be truly Democratic, they
find in that statesman their surest hope Of
victory.
AS their verdicts in the various primaries
are rendered, Mr.. McAdoo's strength in
creases. He now has, according to Mr.,
Rockwell, no fewer than one hundred and
fifty pledged delegates to the New York con-
venton, which number is "far in excess of
those already selected to support any and all
other candidates." His loss of the beer
bound districts of Wisconsin was not sur
prisng in view of his outspoken loyalty to
the prohibition law. But wherever the
thought and sentiment of the progressive
West are voiced on fundamental issues, there
William G. McAdoo continues to lead. Some
times, as in the case of Kansas delegations
are committed to a complimentary conven-
ton vote for "fayorite son." but there is
no doubt, on the part of the keenly OBJ
servant, that at the decisive moment these
will go to McAdoo. 1t is a trend altogether
deserved by that good leader and altogether
heartening to the Democratic rank and file

DODLEYS DULLARDS
BV II. Addinpton Bruce


" ODLEY, a storekeeper, was not ex-
! } acty d success. He frankly acknowledged
this He had to acknowledge it. Even
before competition moved into the neighbor-
hood, Dodley's trade had not been what it
should have been. After store had been
opened on the opposite corner, his customers
became fewer and fewer.
Which naturally exasperated Dodley
Though, he sometimes remarked to a SYM
pathetic auditor, meantime glazing balefulIy
in the direction of the one clerk he had re-
tanned:
you can't altogether blame people for trad
ing across the street. The kind of help I've
had would drive anybody away. Seems as
if the only clerks l pick are stupid ones.
ITS long sad story of slow service, orders
getting mixed, deliveries to the wrong houses
incompetence in general. And besides being
dull, my clerks have been lazy and grouchy,
every one of them I've ever had.
Looks like I'd have to be content with a
business | swing entirely by myself Then
pehaps, I'd have folks coming back | know
what people want and give it, which is
more than the dolts who have worked for me
could do. It's been all their fault the trouble
I'm in"
Suppose, however, that you questioned one
OF Dodley's eX-customers, a particularly OBJ
servant customer. This is what you would be
told
"Dodey bames his clerks, does he? Saws
that one and all, they have been stupid and
lazy and grouchy? Well all I can say is
that they mostly caught those faIings from
him.
And he caught them, as in part his lucl,Iess
clerks did too, from the kind of store Dodley
keeps. Did you notice the CRIME on the win
doWpanes, the dirt of the floor the dust on
the shelves?
The place is never aired right In winter
time it's positively sitting And it is never
more than half lighted
Ihere isn't a man can work in il anv
length Of time without having it get on his
nerves feeling stupid, and developing the
IazIness of fatigue. Dodley himself makes
about as many mistakes as the stupidest clerk
he has ever had. And his biggest mistake IS
ms failure to keep his store fresh and clean
and neat"
IN every city, town and village particularly
among small storekeepers, there still are bod
Ieys to be found
Ignorant of mind-body relationships thew
fail to appreciate the maIign Influence eyer
cised by insantary store conditions on their
own efficiency and the efficiency of those
they employ to assist them. Often, like Dodlev.
they blame their assistants for what is really
their own fault.
Nor is it only the efficiency that is IMPAIRED
When the store environment is wrong The
health may suffer too, and often suffers seri-
ousIy.
Under even ordinarily good conditions, the
continuing work of a store has special health
hazards. To minimize these by providing ex.
traordinarily good conditions is today the
earnest effort of all progressive storekeeLers.
They have had it impressed on them. by the
findings of numerous statistical surveys that
employe absentceism from illhealth consti-
tutes heavy charge and one largely within
their power to lessen.

"The early Christians were not cooking in
the supper room the day the Holy Ghost
came; they were praying in the upper room.
They were not waiting on tables; they were
waiting on God They were not waiting for
the fire from the stove, but for the fire from
above. They were detained by the command
Of God, and not entertained by the cunning
of men They were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, not stuffed with a stew a roast,
"Oh I would like the cooking squad to
put out less gravy and more grace less
soup and more salvation; less ham and sham
to have less use for the cook and more use
for the old Book to put out the fire in the
kitchen and build it on the altar"
Of course, this piece of keen satire is an
eXaggeration, such writing always is.
Most churches are not open to such
criticism. Upon the power of prayer the
people of God rely now as always. Miracles
of saving grace are wrought daily in the
churches by the Holy Spirit. Christianity
in the United States is advancing, not de-
Ginning.
It's progress whether judged qualitative
ly or quantitatively, is encouraging While
worldliness and wickedness abound in the
land there are multiplied thousands of
faithful men and women who walk with God
and serve the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
But while all these statements are true,
the writer of this skit points out tendency
which is all too prevalent in some quarters,
and which deserves the satiricaI treatment
which he gives it.
Many churches seem to have lost faith in
the spiritual forces to accomplish the OBJ
jects for the achievement of which they were
organized; or to have renounced altogether
those objects. They appear to be more con-
cerned to draw crowds into their places of
worship and to entertain the gaping multi
tudes which they attract, than to save souls
or please God. They seek to serve ends of
recreation rather than purposes of religion.
Thus they dishonor Christ and damage His
cause.
Places of worship by solemn dedication
are 'set apart from all unhallowed or COM
mon uses, for the worship Of Almighty God
To bring into them all sorts of diversions
and assemblies is nothing short of their
PROCLAMATION.
Against such profanity Jesus twice mani
tested the most burning indignation in His
repeated cleansngs of the temple.
The evangelist informs us that He drove
out of the temple those whom He found
selling oxen and sheep and doves within it's
sacred precincts, and that He overturned the
tables of the ney-changers and poured
out their money, saying to all she profane
intruders into the holy place, 'Take these
things hence; make not my Fathers house

PROPAGANDA In Schools.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Another
bit Of propaganda for school children
is announced by the American legion,
which offers prizes to public school
pupils Of San Francisco for essays on
The Value to the Community Of the
Palace OF the Legion of Honor. The
board Of education has approved the
contest. Needless to say. the prize
winning essays will be intensely pa
triotic and militaristic. The money
for the aPlace Of the Legion of Honor
was donated Immediately after the
war, to erect a memorial to San Fran
oisco's war dead. But like the Cen
tralia memorial, not stone has yet
been laid. The city has rented the
ground to gasoline service station.
