An Involuntary Photograph.

Modern invention has been successful
in catching one of the meanest of sneak
thieves. Charles Callan had embarked
on the contemplate career of robbing
church poorboxes. He had been re-
markedly successful, but the other night
in New York met his Waterloo. Steal
ing into an empty church in the Bronx,
he jimmied open the box. The moment
the cover came of. Callan was startled
by a binding flash, a muffled report and
a cloud of smoke. This ultra-modern
receptacle for aims for the poor had
done its duty. At the same moment
that it took f1ashlight picture Of the
thief 1t rang gong in the police sta
ton, and as he skunk out Of the church
he was grabbed by detectives.
Invention is making robbery daily
more difficult. and no better example
could be shown than the apprehension
of this sneak thief No delay should be
encountered in his conviction. The
police have his involuntary photograph,
which was snapped as he had his hand
In the box to grab the money, which is
better evidence than even eyewitnesses
could give. Perhaps there may be ways
of extending the usefulness of this con-
traption SO that in every robbery t'rst-
class picture OF the criminal can be pro-
cured by the police.

Tammany Hall.

During the coming campaign much
will undoubtedly be heard Of Tamnany
Han, owing 10 the afiiiation Of Gov.
8mith, the Democratic candidate for
President, with that organization. Sem
ator Moses Of New Hampshire In his
Republican national convention at
Kansas City indicated, in anticipation
Of Gov Smiths nomination by the
Democrats. that one line Of attack by
the Republican campaigners would be
on the score Of '"Tammanyizing" the
Federal Government in the event Of
Smiths election.
Probably 10 few people is it known
that the Tammany Society is as old as
the Government of the United States.
II was founded In May, 1899. two weeks
after tie National Government was
established. as "a fraternity OF patriots
solemnly c0nsecrated 10 the independ-
enee. the popular liberty and the Fed
erai union Of the country" 1t had fol

was marked by many activities In poll
tics and by reforms in legislation Sc
cured by its influence. It early became
compact political organization, en-
gagins repeatedly in national campaigns.
1t was not. however. until 1870, under
the leadership of William M. Tweed,
who had gained an ascendency in Tam
many Hall, that the "wiewam" special
ICED in local affairs, Under Tweed
Tammany was brought to its lowest
level of political morality. After Tweeds
downfall for graft and corruption the
society was reorganized under the guild
ance of Samuel j. Tiiden, With John
Kelly as the leader. it once more be-
came a potent faetor in city. State and
National politics After Kelly's death
in 1886 Tammsny was governed by a
committee, consisting of Richard
Croker, James j. Martin, Hugh J..
Grant and Thomas r. Gilroy. Croker
soon secured absolute leadership. He
proved to be exceptionally skllltul IN
political management. All Democratic
organizations in opposition to Tammany
Hall were put out of existence. Croker
developed system of grating in con-
donation and protectien in law-hrcak-
ing in New York. and after an exposure
of this condition by legislative tnves-
tigaring committee. he retired. and
Tammany again went under the direc-
tion of committee, from which
Charles F. Murphy developed as the
leading factcr Since Murphy's death
few years ago George w. Olvaney has
been the grand sachem of Tammany
Hall.
There is much that is admirable in
the history of Tamnany and much that
is gravely to its discredit. 1t has al
WAYS been the symbol Of political eff
cheney. Perfect discipline prevails in
its membership. It's history will come
in for much searching inquiry and ex-
position during the next few months.

and hit upon, novel means OF supply
ing this entertainment +
The Rev. Mr.. Fiske was writing
novel He had a pardonahle pride in
his developing brain child. He thought
It was a good novel So he began to
read from the pulpit successive chap
tiers, in place of the old gospel sermons
which he Thought his congregation were
tired of hearing.
The parishionerS at length have risen
In righteous wrath and told the minister
to stop it or get cut. He has agreed to
preach sermons hereafter.
This, of course, does not remedy what
has gone before but the congregation
seem to have an abundance Of Christian
charity. They are willing to forgive,
and since eventual forgetting is inevi-
table, as the psychologists say, to for
get.
Some day, for their forsiving and for
getting they may sit among the bless
ed who have passed on by way of the
rack and the flames which they endured
for the faith that was in them.
How many will agree that the author
who insists that friends read at their
leisure the manuscript Of his novel, the
strange, inspiring story of his own life,
of course. Is stretching friendship to the
breaking point? But under such cir
cunistances The victims need only lay
the manuscript aside for a week or so
and then give it back without reading
a line, assuring the writer that COM
pared to it Vanity Fair" is puerile
thing. 1t is something entirely different
when the author gets them into church
and proceeds to read it to them.
Then martyrdom exceeds all reason

EVERYDAY RELIGION

Bishop Of Washington

thou afflicted, tossed with tempest and
nor cor1forted, behold, / will lay thy
stones with fair colors, and lay thy
foundations with sapphires; and all thy
children shall be taught of the Lord;
and great shall be the peace OF thy chill
dren. In Righteousness shalt tnou De
established: thou shalt be Tar from OPP
preston; for thou shalt not rear; and
from terror: for It shah not come near
thee" He concludes this glowing state
ment with the words of the text. mo
weapon that is formed against thee
shall prosper" Speaking to a nation
that had been distracted and torn by
conflicting opinions, he adrlonishes the
people that their security resides in
Righteousness, and In righteousness shall
the nation be established. Peace within
and security from invasion from With
out are guaranteed TO those who believe
that Righteousness exalteth nation.
In fine, the impregnability OF the ma
ton and the guarantee Of its peace and
prosperity reside in the cultivation OF
these things that alone contribute 10
the enrichment of character and the
urfailing recognition of Gods beneh-
cence and guidance That this Nation
began In this wise Is conspicuotisly EVIL
dent. The story of our early pegm-
nings-and, indeed, the Subsequent HIS
tory of this country-ffnds no paraiiel In
the annals of human history. We have
risen to our greatest heights of power
when we have committed ourselves self
lessly to a righteous cause. we nave
had the confidence of the world most
completely when we have MADE eVluent
the ,,uritv Of our motives and the gen
erosity and excellence of our designs.
It Is demonstrable that when we have
been most evidently righteous In all our
dealings, we have secured to ourselves
not only the favor OF men the Worio
over. but peace and happiness within
our own borders. The present POSSIBLE
titles of our influence upon world opirl-
ion, and ultimately upon world order.
are incalculably great. Only as we rise

and privileges, only as we lay aside sell,

'The Nations Security"
The search of statesmen the world
over is for some scheme or plan that
will guarantee to their nation and peo-
pie security and enduring peace. The
shock sustained by reason of a universal
conflict, from whose shadows we are
only Just now passing, has compelled
men to give serious heed to that which
shall prevent another such cataclySm
"Multilateral treaties" "gentlemen'S
agreements" schemes Of one kind and
another are being evolved each one
! looking to that which shall preserve in
tcrnational comfy and effect lnterna-
tional good will and peace. Probably
at no time In human history has more
thought been given to this vital matter
than in the present hour. A warless
world engages the deep interest OF men
the world over In spite OF all this there
is a deeper concern and anxiety dis
closed In this present hour than we
have known for generations. what the
issue of all this may be remains to be
seen. Fiscal policies, trade agreements,
tariffs and other questions all SINK INTO
comparative inSigniflcance Ii TIE llsns
of this one supreme question. Wnat
Americas contribution may be TO the
solving of this supreme problem Is YET
to be disclosed That we here occupy
a unique position is evident to men the
world over While We have a vast ter
ritory, the resources of which we nave
not as yet touched, and while our
wealth exceeds that of any other nation
in the world, and while we have re-
peatedly avowed ourselves as being gov
erned by highly altruistic motives. we
have yet to secure the confidence OF
world peoples and to become the ac-
knowledged leader in the movement
looking to universal peace. 1t has pc
come clearly evident that our growing
wealth and increasing power constitutes
in the eyes of the other nations OF the
world not the evidences OF our virtue
but the possible evidences OF our poIeh-
tial menace to world order and quiet.
