An Amazing Code of Morals.
Three college professors, connected with three
of the best known universities in the United
States, have stepped into the spotlight with the
information that they knew Prof. Holt, of Cor
nell, was Prof. Muenter who was a fugitive from
justice, indicted for the murder of his wife. It
is a peculiar kind of publicity to seek, but these
prominent educators ought to have the full bene
fit of their public, confessions. They are Prof.
Gould, of the Chicago University; Prof Munster
berg, of Harvard, and Prof. Bennett, of Cornell.
Prof. Gould visited Cornell last November and
says he fully identified Prof. Holt as Prof.
Muenter with whom he was well acquainted. He
says further that Prof. Holt recognized him. The
Chicago professor revealed Holt's identity to
Prof. Bennett, a co-worker, but on pledge of
silence, because Holt was a good teacher, was
making good and trying to do right. Prof.
Munstcrberg, of Harvard, who knew Muenter well,
also identified Holt as the fugitive from justice.
Criminal history is filled with incidents illus
trating the old saying that there is honor and loy
alty among criminals, and wc have moral courts in'
some States to handle and punish moral delin
quency, where the statutes do not apply. We
have also had a gopd deal of highly moral discus
sion about lowering the moral standards of the
student bodies in our colleges, because there have
been accusations of cheating and gouging in exam
inations, but we have left the educators, like the
preachers, to largely formulate their own code of
morals, on the old assumption that the teacher
taught by example as well as by precept.
With the publicity of the confessions of these
three college professors that they consider it
moral to give one of their own profession a chance,
even though he was a fugitive from justice rest
ing under an indictment for a capital crime, it
is difficult to get excited over the grave charge
that boys at the Naval Academy refused to peach
on their fellows accused of securing advance copies
of examination papers, or even conclude that we
"God's Poor."
By JOHN P. BARKY.
1 HERE is ian expression, ' once commonly
heard, that seems to be going out of fash
ion: "God's poor." It used to be spoken with
great sympathy and reverence. It conveyed on
the part of the speakers a sense of beautiful un
derstanding:, even of nobility.
I thought of it the other day when I heard
an English traveler telling of his experience in
India, Quite seriously he remarked that much
of the poverty there was due to the decline of
war, famine and pestilence, attributed to the
beneficent influence of the English conquerors.
"These three forces used to keep poverty down,"
he remarked. "They removed the physically un
fit. They left behind those who were best equip
ped for the battle of life."
In war, famine and pestilence, the world used
to see, or fancied that it saw, the hand of God.
According to this view, God gathered in vast
multitudes of his poor.
He also gathered in many of the physically
weak.
It should be remembered, by the way, that
many of those considered unfit, by the physical
standards, have done great work in the world.
Think of the distinguished writers that have won
fame by good work done in spite of weakness of
one kind or another.
Of the three forces, war, seemingly the most
terrible, was really the least effective. It mowed
down comparatively few. They were, to be sure,
in the flower of their youth. They represented
what under favoring conditions might have been
of immense value to society. But, by being for
the most part of God's poor, through destruc
tion, they gave a better chance to those lucky
enough not to be included among God's poor.
Famine, too, was not nearly so efficacious as
it might have been. It often let vast numbers
of people struggle on by means of the resistance
of nature. It showed how close to starvation

The dual personality of Holt was no ordinary
or trivial development in criminal history. If Holt
were Muenter, every citizen who had knowledge
of that fact was bound to aid the State of Massa
chusetts in identifying the man indicted for the
murder of his wife, that he might be brought to
the bar of justice. The man suspected of moral
delinquency is in grave danger in withholding
guilty knowledge of murder, but here wc have
three prominent educators, whose life work is to
train boys for good and honorable citizenship,

a fugitie from justice, to pose as a teacher at

crimes against humanity and the nation itself.

few years that it is confusing to the great body

mushroom grower develops his richest fungi from

of these college professors, almost makes one
respect the verdict of the Western farmer who
called college professors "cdicatcd ijits."
In former times God's poor were so loved by
God that they had a precarious tenure on earth.
They would disappear in swarms. Just now there
are those who go so far as to deny the continued
existence of God's poor. In fact, they say that the
terrible poverty of medieval and ancient days has
been driven out of the world. "Where are the
poor people that the radicals and reformers are
always talking about?" a rich man recently asked
in my hearing. He looked around, as if in searcli.
His tone and the expression on his face showed
some indignation.
A radical, who happened to be present, quietly
answered: "They are everywhere. If you don't
happen to see them it is because you don't recog
nize them as you meet ihem in the street. They
live, for the most part, down in the quarters where
you never go. There are people all about us who
are on the verge of want. Throughout the big
cities there are millions who are underfed and who
perish through poverty. The disease is simply
called by other names."
The questioner shrugged his shoulders. "It is
probably their own fault," he replied airily dis
missing the subject.
T WAS noteworthy and significant
how careful a selection had been
made of delegates to tha Congress.
No doubt the most notable group
was the croup of Virginians: Colonel
Washington; that "masterly man."
Richard Henry Lee. as Mr. John
Adams called him, as effective In Phil
adelphia as ha had been in the House
of Burgesses; Patrick Henry, whose
speech was so singularly compounded
of thought and fire; Edmund Pendle
ton, who had read nothing but law
books and knew nothing but business,
and yet showed such winning grace
and convincing frankness withal in
debate; Colonel Harrison, brusque
country gentleman, without art or
subterfuge, downright and emphatic;
Mr. Bland, alert and formidable at
sixty-four, with the steady insight
of the lifelong student: and Mr. Pey
ton Randolph, their official leader and
spokesman, whom the Congress chose
Its president, a man full of address,
and seeming to carry privilege with
him as a right inherited.
Samuel Adams and John Adams had
come from Massachusetts, with Mr.
Cuahlng and Mr. Paine.
South Carolina had sent two mem
bers of the Stamp Act Congress of
1765, Mr. Christopher Oadsden and Mr.
John Rutledge. with Mr. Edward Rut
ledge also, a youth of twenty-five, and
plain Mr. Lynch, clad In homespun,
as direct and sensible and above cere
mony as Colonel Harrison.
Connecticut's chief spokesman was
Roger Sherman, rough as a peasant
without, but In counsel very like a
siatesman, and in all things a hard
headed man of affairs.
New York was represented by Mr.
John Jay, not yet thirty, but of the
quick parts of the scholar and the
principles 'of a man of honor.
Joseph Galloway, the well-poised
Speaker and leader of her House of
Assembly, John Dickinson. ' the
thoughtful author of the famous
"Farmer's Letters' of 1781, a quiet

that they have a few men and a few guns left.
With the Minnehaha as an index it is quite evident
that England is not just now going to stop for
want of ammunition. Russia's great power of re
cuperation both in men and arms will hold her for
a season, and Jane Addams tells us that the
French will not talk of peace. With the elimina
tion of the submarine, there would be no doubt
that England would hold on with the same grim
determination she has always shown, and win by
exhausting Germany. The part the submarine has
played is not large enough as yet to justify the
prediction of a. breaking of England's record; and
at the risk of putting in another guess, it is safe
to say the war will be long enough to discourage
tourists from making arrangements to visit Eu

a better state to take care of this war than it was

been injured in the United States, but it was cer
tainly not the lack of information that injured it.
A Well-Earned Rest.
No news concerning President Wilson has
been more gratefully received than that in which
he is depicted as enjoying greatly the rational
pleasures of his vacation, unvexed by the pros
pect of an immediate return to Washington, and
comforted by the presence of his family. There
is nobody who docs not recognize that Mr. Wilson

Submarine Bases on This Side.
There is nothing incredible about the establish
ment of a submarine base on this side of the ocean.
There arc many spots off our coast and off the
British provinces where supplies for submarines
could be stored with little danger of discovery,.
The British navy at least all the. smaller and
faster vessels must come out of their "hiding
place and hunt the. submarines all the way from
the British Channel to" -American waters. Of
course, many of them will be sunk; but they will
also sink many submarines. These plungers be

In the legislature of a great State among the
many foolish bills presented during the last ses
sion, there was one designed to abolish poverty;
in other words, to make impossible the existence
oi the thriftless and the shiftless and the incom
petent, and to keep human beings from becom
ing "God's poor." Of course, such a bill could
create only derision and resentment.
"There must be poor people in the world," a
New York society woman remarked in a speech
a few months ago. "We can't all be rich." Here,
perhaps, unconsciously she uttered a profound
truth. When there are extremes of advantage
there must be extremes of disadvantage. Giving
up the poor might signify that we should have
to give up the rich. We must do everything we
can to keep the world from meeting such a
disaster.
Then there are those people, always well fed
and well dressed, who like to quote the saying:
"The poor ye have always with you." They seem
to regard this saying as a justification and a
prophecy. It really is neither. It is a mere state
ment, and it does not go. into the future. By being
a mere statement, it might also be called an
arraignment. The truth is that we have the poor
always with us because we are willing to let them
remain poor, because, by leaving them to the
mercy df God, we make them feel how little mercy
there is in man.

that I ought to be In school. A few

If that eminent scientist, the late Prof.

from the ground he would have had the
happiness of knowing that it was a suc

while yet living as the first successful

fortunately, in order to enable the ma
chine to sret what he thought would be

from a. platform sixty feet high. The
machine, which after its failure was
nicknamed "Langley's Folly," plunged
straight down into the water; its in
ventor's life dream was shattered, and
he died, it was said, of a broken heart!
A short time ago Glen Curtiss, the noted
aviator, made this same discredited ma

foot elevation, but from the ground.
Many a father makes a similar fatal

Very few youths have ever made their

gained in working up from the bottom
which enable a man to control and to
hold a high position when he reaches it.
I know a young man who was put at
the head of a largo concern when he
was graduated from college, because his
rawer, who was getting on In years,
wanted his son to succeed him and to

young man had not the slightest Idea of

salesman, traveling or otherwise, and
none In selecting, placing or managing

and would not take advice or suggestions
from older men who had spent most of
their lives In helping to build up the con
cern. The result was that young Mr. Know-it-all
made such a mesa of his job that
in a comparatively short time the whole,
concern was utterly demoralized and
headed for failure. The business which
it had taken a lifetime to build up would
have been wrecked but for the father's
return to the helm. He quickly stemmed
the tide of demoralization, and brought
order out of chaos. The helm responded
to tho hand of the master, because he
knew tho derails or everything under
