much more notably related them during

They agreed in their faith in the in
tegrity of art and in their respect for the
honor Of art. Never did either Mr.. Blash-
field or Mr.. Taft presume to invent a
style or mannerism. Both sought verify

shippers in a holy shrine, and their de-

they possessed while yet they lived. They

Statue of
Liberty.

Roosevelt was able to get over his ideas
on peace and on conservation of natural
resources, while waiting for his opponent
to give him an opening.
It was the first of october before the
President moved definitely into action.
Then, instead of defending himself from
attack, he took the offensive.
In the battle of words that has fol-
lowed, Gov. Landon has found that his
audiences are most responsive to the
story that the American form Of consti-
tutional government Is threatened BY
the New Deal. This is one way Of dis.
covering that many people sense the
fundamental issue raised by the pressure
for enlarged Federal power.
President Roosevelt, on his part, has
found that his audiences respond most
to the story about returning prosperity
and to the contrast between conditions
in 1882 and those today. This fact Of
better times is regarded by the President
as more potent than all Of the arguments
in determining the outcome OF Tuesdays
vote.
His whole strategy is based on that
personal conclusion.
But as for the people:
They are going to vote on Tuesday
without having enjoyed the enlighten-
ment that could come from q direct
debate between the two presidential
candidates on the real issues Of govern
ment involved Ia the campaign.
Success actually may 60 to the most
artful dodger Of those issues.

BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. d, IL d, D. c. l..
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

In the Old Testament, known as the
Song Of Deborah" 1t was from this
poem that quotations were frequently
made during the World War, notably by
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t will be recalled
that he often quoted the 23d verse:
Curse We Meroz, said the angel of the
Lord, curse We bitterly the inhabitants
thereof; because they came not to the
help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord
against the mighty"
The story of Deborah, with the ac-
companying poem, is brief, but exceed
ingly interesting. It Is the story of a
woman's triumphant faith. Reason plays
its part in human affairs, but, as
French writer has said, THE heart hath
reasons which the reason knows not Of"
Shakespeare speaks Of judgment being
tempered with mercy, and in the great
plea of Portia we have again supreme
expression of q woman's Judgment con-
corning mercy and equity. Some of the
greatest and most beneficent movements
that our generation has witnessed have
found their genesis in the deep affections,
clear vision and supreme faith Of women.
The church as an institution would
long since have lost much Of its prestige
and power had it not been for the I'M
usual gifts and loyalty of its women.
True, its great prophets have been men,
but. let us with frankness acknowledge
it, its most ardent and earnest and de-
voted supporters have been women. The
Red Cross movement, one of the most
benefcent and Godlike agencies the
world has ever witnessed, has found in
the gentle ministry of woman both its
inspiration and its efficiency In this
connection, let us be reminded that Lady
Nightingale stands as one of the most
commanding figures in modern English
history. The ministry of the Angel of
the Crimea" to the thousands of suf-
ferers in that dreadful struggle is one
of the brightest pages in all history.
Edith Cavell, it has been well said, will
ever be remembered, not only for her
fidelity to duty in the face Of insuperable
difficulties, but for her superb heroism
and devotion. even unto death. The
modern Deborahs are to play their
large, and, we believe. noble part in this
new age. May we not believe that their
unfaltering faith, their unchallenged de-
votion and their unquestioned affection
for all that Is truest and best in human
life is to contribute to the richer, finer,
nobler development of a truer and more
real Christian civilization?

The page Of history records repeatedly
the large and important place that wom-
an has occupied In the concerns of states
and nations. Not only has she played
a most conspicuous role in shaping the
judgments and opinions of those in au-
thority, not only has she been domi-
nant force in giving poise and direction
to kings and rulers, but now and again
she has occupied more conspicuous
place in governing and controlling di-
rectly the aims and actions Of great ma
tons. Within our own generation, i'm
perial Victoria of England was a mighty
factor, not only in the leadership of one
OF the worlds greatest peoples, but in
the shaping of international policies. The
Bible, perhaps more than any other book,
recognizes the tranScendent genius of
woman and records ever and again the
large place she fills In human affairs. In
the Book Of Judges, in the fourth and
fifth chapters, we have the story of a
great woman leader, who occupied q
place, in crisis in the history Of the
Children of Israel, of unusual importance.
The people had lost their sense of ma
tional consciousness, and along with this
they had broken faith with God, who had
led them and given them their pros
perity and greatness. One leader after
another had signally failed, and the
enervating influences of prosperity had
weakened the moral fiber of the people.
In this situation great military leader,
Sisera by name, had arisen to threaten
the security of the nation.
In this emergency we read that de-
borah judged Israel at that time, and
the Children of Israel came up to her
for judgment" Realizing the gravity of
the impending situation, she called for
military leader of her people, one
Barak, and demanded that he should
Immediately resist the invading hosts. It
is interesting to note that, fearful Of the
issue, Barak declined to go without the
strong leadership and direction of De-
borah. The situation reminds us of a
condition in France, when the Maid of
Orleans, Joan dare, came to the aid of
her King, and by her presence and hero
ism led his faltering armies to victory.
When Deborah acceded to Baraks de-
mands. she said: II will surely 60 with
thee; notwithstanding the journey that
thou takest shall not be for thine honor;
for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the
hand OF a woman" The results of the
battle are recorded in the fourth chapter
OF Judges. but in the fifth chapter we
have one OF the most remarkable poems

SPANS Ordeal.

Blood-spattered, battered Spain en-
tiers today upon the fifth successive cal
endar month of civil war. with the end
not yet in sight. Despite repeated
claims that the rebel forces hold
Madrid fast within pincers enveloping 1t
on three sides, the capital is still in gov
eminent possession. At the end of last
week Loyalist troops, galvanized into
fresh life by replenishments of mech
anized equipment, notably aircraft and
tanks, drove the insurgents back full
six miles at point sixteen or eighteen
miles south Of Madrid, compelling re-
treat toward Toledo along the whole
central front. Promptly retaliating for
this reverse, Fascist bombing planes at
tackled Madrid on Friday. killing fifty.
nine persons, wounding more than one
hundred others and causing extensive
property damage.
The instruction having now been
brought directly home to Madrid in terms
of bloodshed and devastation, the
Leftists' determination to hold out Is
certain to be intensified. The govern
ment retains access to the sea at Bar.
celona and other ports. Through such
channels it is obvious that the Loyalists
are receiving steady foreign reinforce
ments of munitions and supplies, with
many indications that the chief source
is Russia. The on-interventionist COM
mittee at London, arena of ceaseless
charges and countercharges Of surrep-
titious aid to both sides, has just given
Italy and Portugal clean bill of health
after allegations from Madrid and Mos.

ally succored by Italian and Portuguese
sympathizers, If not by their respective
Fascist governments.
Europe buzzes with categorical reports
of foreign Intervention. Squadrons Of
Italian and German ships are said to
be ready to blockade Barcelona. 1t has
been alleged that Italian troops are in
occupation of the Balearic Isles. Soviet
soldiers in force are described as having
been discovered fighting in government
ranks. None of these alarmist accuse
tions has been verified, though it seems
fairly clear that by hook or by crook
government and rebels alike are availing
themselves of the sinews of war wherever
and in whatever way obtainable. On no
other ground is it possible to explain the
continuance of intensive hostilities and
the fiuctuating tide of battle as the re-
suit Of air and artillery combat and in
fantry fighting.
From the outside worlds standpoint,
the one gratifying aspect of SPANS
tragic ordeal is that strife remains con-
fined to the peninsula. French Premier
Blum voices faith that the danger of the
wars spread has now passed. Regardless
OF Russia's intention to regain liberty of
traffic in arms with the established
Madrid government, M. Blum is con-
vinced that the other powers are intent
on isolating the crisis and not permitting
any clash of political or economic in
terests to draw Europe into another con-
hict which might prove fatal to civiliza-
ton. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
French leaders optimism is not unjus-
titled.

Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

Guessing on an election was Just as
uncertain half century ago as it Is to-
c day. The Star of No
ouessAAs vi vember /, 1886, says
the Election. of the most interest
ing contest of that
year. the fight for the mayoralty of New
York City:
The difficulty OF obtaining an I'M
prejudiced opinion on political contest
was never more obvious than in the case
of the struggle for the mayoralty of New
York City, which will have ended at
sunset tomorrow. The estimate made by
each party on its own chances and those
Of its adversaries is interesting only for
purposes of comparison. For any light
that it throws upon the subject by itself
it is utterly worthless. The Democrats
give Hewitt 10000 Roosevelt, 10000, and
George, 10000. The Labor party claims
100000 for George and grant Roosevelt
$4,000 and Hewitt $4,000. The Repub-
licans give Roosevelt 10000, Hewitt, TO-
600. and George, 10000. 1t will be noted
that, in spite of their dissensions on
other points. all three parties give Mr..
Hewitt place at the bottom of the
list and that the Republicans agree
with the Democrats in assigning Mr..
George the lowest figures, although with
a disparity of 10000 between their
estimates.
There is no doubt that the sentiment
of mature citizens in business circles is
largely in favor of Mr. Hewitt. This is
not because of any disrespect for the
ability or suspicion of the honesty of
Mr.. Roosevelt, but because the logic of
the situation points to Mr.. Hewitts Sue
cess as the best solution of q difficult
problem. If the Republicans win the
election tomorrow the credit for the
result will be everywhere given to the
George party. The Democrats will then
make overtures for a combination, which
can be effected only by the older party's
Endorsement of the communistic theories
Of the younger. United, the pair can do
what they will at future elections and

history of the Bartholdi enterprise has
some features which it would be pleasant
to forget. It reversed the usual current
of such affairs. No one would suppose
that the acceptance of great work of
art by the commercial capital of q. rich
nation would be delayed so long for
lack of money to pay for a piece Of
masonry to set it on. If the foundation
had been built and the city had had to
wait for the statue it would have been
easier to understand"

Which prophets tried
To fight in vain.

Technically, this sort of campaign may
prove to have been effective, but it
leaves the way open for the sort of CAM

him and that might have been more
effective than actually it has turned out
to be.
As the situation shaped up, President
Roosevelt was able to depend upon the
support Of the left-wing groups In the
population without making new promises
to them. while he sought, by playing upon
the prosperity theme, to WOO back some
right-wingers and many who hold to the
middle Of the road.
Actually, events show, Gov. Landon was

actions and comments, as chief execu-
tive Of State, how he would revise
the New Deal and apply business meth
DDS to get Federal affairs back in order.
But that plan left the President free
to use the much wider sounding board
of the White House to demonstrate by
dramatic action his own program and
