The bill of complaint asserted that
the true purpose of the act was not
to create revenue for the support OF

quent is past. Herman Melville wrote
the ultimate cetacean classic in 'Moby
Dick" and since its publication mere
repetition has been the rule.
Yet occasionally the press reports some
current incident which serves to show
that the picturesque monsters Of the
deep still are extant, still interesting.
For example, the New York Herald
Tribune tells how G. E. Barton, first
officer Of the Cunard- White Star liner
Berengaria, recently encountered no less
than thirty-nine whales in the path of
his ship en- route from Southampton.
The problem of such interference was
not easily solved. According to the rules,
Mr. Barton could not burn extra fuel
without proper Justification" There
fore, it was indicated that he should pro-
ceed without regard to the consequences
to the leviathans. But he is tender
hearted mariner and did not wish to kill
or injure the INSTRUCTORS. A mere shift
of two degrees to port would serve to
prevent the collision.

Mr.. Barton, "to give the whales right OF

so, the loss of their jobs is not enough
and investigation should be made Of
the possibility of indictment and prose-
cution in the courts.
In the relief act for the current year
there is a provision which makes liable
to fine or Imprisonment any one
80 who by means of any fraud, force,
threat, intimidation or boycott, or dis
elimination on account of race, religion
or political Affiliations deprives any
person of any of the benefits to which
he may be entitled under the foregoing
appropriation" The phrase "or dis
elimination on account of race, religion
or political Affiliations" is new to the
relief act this year, having been added
under the lash of criticism OF political
exploitation.
Certainly any one soliciting a cam
paign contribution from relief worker
and obtaining such contribution
should be prosecuted to determine his
guilt under these sections of the law. A
few prosecutions and sentences would
put quicker end to unauthorized po-
litical activity in the w. P. A.. and more
effectively silence charges relating to
those activities, than anything else.

UNDERSTOOD AT LAST
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN D. D. IL d, d. c. L.
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

"I shall know even as also am known"
This marks the climax of one OF the
greatest chapters in the New TeSta-
ment, Paul's majestic word on charity.
Rising step by step in wondrous beauty,
like a perfect symphony, it reaches its
climax with the declaration that, now
we see imperfectly and know in part,
but then shall we know even as also we
are known. The limitation of all knowl-
edge was thus expressed by Tennyson:
1--WE have but faith, we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from Thee;
A beam in darkness, let it grow"
Beyond the fact that we have this
partial knowledge, there looms large the
other assurance, that the revelation OF
our finest and noblest qualities and mo-
tives SO little known here, shall be fully
disclosed hereafter. Misunderstood -
describes the experiences of the best OF
men and women. Pauls great reach
was after the fuller knowledge and the
more complete self disclosure. Even the
vision of the darkened glass must give
way to the perfect vision, and in the
fullness of the new life man should stand
at last, completely self-revealed.
One of the deepest satisfactions which
this word of the Apostle affords is the
assurance of the persistence of person.
ality; personality unhampered and un-
embarrassed by the hindering influences
of a world of limitations and large mis-
understandings. There is not one of us
who lives but again and again yearnS
for q larger self-expreSsion. We all be-
lieve, in our finer moments, that even
at our best we cannot disclose to those
about us the deeper and stronger things
of our nature. We yearn for an atmos-
phere more genial than we know here.
We seek for an ampler and fuller
opportunity when we shall know and
be known. Dean Farrar was right when
he said, rs 1t not Heaven to be some
thing, rather than to 60 somewhere?"

out of the water and apparently had no
difficulty standing on his tail for . Sec
ond or so"
The alternative was to waste time
shaking whales of our bows" And the
distance was made up by skillful maneu-
vering in heavy swells. The Berengaria
reached her pier on schedule.
Perhaps men--even nations-now and
again might profit by Mr.. Barton's ex-
ample of mannerly accommodation.
Reasonable politeness. it seems, is more
of missing quantity in the world than
it ought to be. There are numerous
"smash-ups" which might be avoided by
the practice of philosophy of mutual
give-and- take.

The poet says, Life is an eternal be-
coming" but when we think of Paul's
conception of the future we think of life
as an eternal fulfilling.
Cardinal Manning was in fine mood
when he wrote, God Is not the God of
the dead, Of nameless, obscured, oblit-
Grated spirits; of impersonal natures,
robbed of their identity, spoiled of their
consciousness; of blinded eyes and mar
red aspects. The law of perfect recog-
milton is inseparable from the law of
perfect identity" This is the very
antithesis of that Oriental conception
that defines Immortality in terms OF
-obliteration and the absolute annihi-
lation Of personality.
No. the human mind rebels against
any such suggestion, and in our highest
conception of life in the future, we think
Of it in terms of Standardization and
a more complete Self-revelation. To feel
that that which has been obscured or
little understood here shall have its full
and free expression there, and that with
all the superficial and artificial stripped
away we shall be fully self-revealed
must bring profound satisfaction to the
man or woman who in this world OF
stern judgments has been misunder-
stood or misinterpreted.
Even the life of Jesus, with all its mar
velous beauty, failed to win the conf
dence and commendation of men. II
was only in the transcendant glory OF
His resurrected life, when He COM
panioned with His disciples, that they
really understood Him and recognized
His sublime nature. 1t would seem that
divine as He was, He must needs pass
through that process by which the larger
self-revelation is made evident.
All life is a process Of unfolding
Shakespeare was right: "Ripeness is
all: but this ripeness which is the
full, free expression of our better ma
lures must await the coming of the new
life in Gods eternal day.

The Safest Rule.

In his apology Father Coughlin
seems to draw a distinction between the
President of the United States" and
candidate for the greatest political
ONCE within the gift Of the people
This Is going to be frightfully confusing
for those who do not want to use
pussyfoot words and at the same time
intend to observe the canons of good
taste in political speechifying. 1t is con-
fusing now because Franklin D. Roose-
velt is not only president of the United
States" but is candidate for the
greatest political office within the gift
of the people"
If, in the heat of patriotic zeal and
service of the people, one feels inclined
to Mr.. Roosevelt, the safe rule would be
to allude to that fellow" him or "he."
Then, If called to book, one could explain
that one was not talking about the
President of the United States, but
merely a candidate for the greatest
political office within the gift Of the
people" whose name happens to be
Roosevelt. Should Mr.. Roosevelt be
reelected, the rule could be amended.
One could refer to that fellow and
explain that one was alluding to a
candidate.
Or. simpler still, one could follow the
rule that Father Coughlin now lays
down for himself and conduct ones
self, even in the heat of a campaign,
lin gentlemanly manner" That is
safe rule, the safest rule, as a matter
Of fact, and avoids all sorts of post
mortem explanations and apologies.

lenging Governor Landon and anybody
else to point out any other case Of
political coercion in the w. P. A. Mr..
williams made his disciplinary action in
the Oklahoma case assume some of the
attributes Of defense.
Everybody will agree with Mr.. Williams
and Mr.. Hopkins that it is very difficult
to control activities in State organi-
zation. That very point increases the
substance of charges. which for the most
part are generalizations, of political
skullduggery in the administration of
relief funds. Then why should Mr..
williams become so indignant when such
charges are voiced? The best answer he
can offer is that which he makes in the
Oklahoma case-prompt discharge of

effectiveness of such action by attrib-
uting criticism to politics?

A Speech Well Received.

Public reaction to Governor Landon's
speech of acceptance has run the usual
course of high praise from his partisans
and belittling depreciation from his po-
rlitical adversaries. But those who have
made some point of studying the reac-
ton must have been impressed by the
widespread commendation received by
the Governor on the temperate, re-
strained tone of his discourse. This, as
much as anything he said, has elected
praise. Why? For one thing his audience
felt that he was making his appeal to
its intelligence and not to its emotions.
And emotions during the past four years
have been subjected to such constant
stimulation that the opportunity to sit
back and study the meaning of plain
words without getting all tangled up in
figures of speech was somewhat CRATE
fully received.
1t was in keeping with this restraint
that the Governor phrased his refer
ences regarding the Importance of
united Nation-not with a people torn
by appeals to prejudice and divided by
class feeling" Much of the criticism
incurred by the President has resulted
from his tendency to generalize as be-
tween classes of the people in attrib-
uting unworthy motives and actions,
without specific indentification. In the
hands of one as skilled as the President,
this resort to gesture only too familiar
as indicated on other campaign fronts,
there is only short step from the pleas
ant uses of allegory to the frank and
unrestrained demagoguery of those who
command the gift of fast-fowing words
Governor Landon's abstemious avoidance
Of platform play acting contained a
unique appeal.
Thus in dealing with the subject of
labor and collective bargaining the
Governor might easily have leaned over
a little bit to one side in making a
politically helpful gesture. His failure
to do it has brought from some of the
leaders of the labor movement rather
sharply expressed Recommendations
these same labor leaders have already
allied themselves definitely with the
other party and this discounts their
ability to judge impartially. He said
what he did say as man who recognizes
all the gains to labor from the exercise
Of the right to bargain collectively, gains
of the past and future. He doubtless
tread on the toes of extremists when
he said:
The right of labor to organize means
to me that, in the absence of
union contract, an employe has an equal
right to join or to refuse to join union.
But is that not the fair and reasonable
attitude to assume? Can the candidate
for the Office of President of the United
States go any further than that and at
the same time remain intellectually
honest to the neutral position he should
assume as Chief Executive?
Governor Landon has a quiet matter
of-factneSs about his address that leaves
his hearers with something to think
about afterward. That is one advan-
tage over purely emotional stimulation,
which is the stuff of which great oratory
is usually made.

Roosevelt ranks and the assurance Of q

real campaign.
Balance of power in national elections
in the recent past has lain with the
farmers, with the city workers and with
the Negro vote in certain big cities like
Chicago, New York and Detroit.
Both the farmers and the industrial
workers have been attracted and held in
the past by protective tariff arguments.
The Negro vote, important in the North
only since the World War. was solidly
Republican because of tradition.
The Democrats have concentrated on
the problem of gathering and holding
important portions of the farm, the
worker and the Negro vote. Signs point
to a straying of farmers. An aggressive
campaign is under way to line up labor.
The Negro vote is being sought in a
variety of ways.
But. in November, the balance Of
power is likely to be held by the masses
of middle class voters in this country.

ing on whether or not they believe that

Originators of the duel, the Germans
have been its most steadfast supporters.
Although In the reign Of Emperor
Wilhelm II the law forbade dueling, IL
was tacitly encouraged. AS late as 1912,
DR.. Sambeth, an ofiicer Of the German
Army Medical Corps, was challenged.
He was a Catholic and the church ex.
pressly forbade dueling. He, accord
ingly, declined the challenge. The case
was submitted to the Emperor who
handed down q remarkable decision.
It read:
1.-The refusal to fight duel, based on
religious conviction, is not q subject for
examination by q court Of honor, but
the medical officer who. in this re-
spect, holds opinions contrary to those
of his fellow officers, cannot be allowed
to remain in the service"
Although the law was on the statute
books, the Emperor's word was a more
potent law. and now, in order to avoid
all confusion, dueling in Germany is
receiving fresh legal sanction, just as
the elder gods, Thor and Wotan, are
being revived to take the place Of the
objects Of Christian worship. These
things mark q greater revolution in Ger
many than any change of political lead
ership or form Of government. They are
fundamental. \
