A Monument to Calvin.
Nearly a year ago In Geneva, Swit
zerland, during anotable gathering to
celebrate the four hundredth urinive
rsa.v of the birth of John Calvin, a
movement was inaugurated, by repre
sentatives from all parts of the Pro
testant world, to raise a fund for the
erection of a suitable monument tn
John Calvin, it Is hoped to raise at
bast $100,000 for such a monument,
the same to be placed on the univer
sity grounds at Geneva. The idea w hen
carried out will express the thought
made prominent In the religious and
political principles for which Calvin
stood. Tim design will be artistic in
execution. Committee were formed In
Geneva and at once more than $40,000
was pledged toward this object. The
committee* represent various countries
where Calvinism has had influence.

r- asor of a very important pan which
hi bore In making William Howard
Taft the Republican nominee for

The fact Is that Mr. Loeb is now giv
ing one of the greatest performances
In diplomacy that the world has ever
seen, and it by any chance it should
land him In the governorship of New
York he would have fully earned the
distinction.
The snub direct is fast developing
into one of the most distinguished so
cial accomplishments of President
Taft.
The recent sad experience of Repre
sentative Francis Burton Harrison, of
New York, has been responsible for
getting into oirculatlon the story of
another recent notable snub adminis
tered by the President. The victim

i.» under the necessity of unfailing loy- j
ally to President Taft.
To make things anout as difficult as
the y well could be made for an ex- ,
tiemely discreet person like Mr. Poeb.
he has been selerted as "main
squeeze” fo rthe occasion of the re
ception at New York to the returning
Roosevelt.
There wouldn't be any trouble about
it if it was perfectly certain that after
Mr. Roosevelt’s return the relations
, between himself and President Taft
would be continued on the same old
basis of entire amity and complete
confidence that prevailed in the ancint
days when Roosevelt was President, j
Taft was his candidate for his succes
sion and Poeb was an aspirant, with !
the Roosevelt backing, for the Score- .
t&ryship of the Navy. But suppose,
as has been assiduously rumored, Mr.
Roosevelt comes home to find fault
with the new administration or by an
attitude of persistent silence to Inti
mate dissatisfaction with it? In that
case Mr. loeb will be confronted with
more difficulty than ever hedged him
about in the most strenuous period
of his service as the official White
House goat.
A lot of Mr. I.oeb's friends have
i dreamed dreams about running him
, for Governor of New York on his re
cord as reformer of the New York
custom house. Here in Washington
| the Impression prevails that he will
make a mighty good candidate, partly
because he would represent the Rooae
j volt regime and partly because he
looks good to reformers and Inde
pendents Besides ail that, there are ,
persistent rumors that the adminis
tration would like to have Lcieb a
candidate, as a sort of hostage to
Roosevelt.
If Mr. Poeb knows any more about |
the ultimate political purposes of the
I colonel he Is maintaining rather more
than his usual reserve on the subject, !
and Mr. Pooh, when he sets about the !
burl ness of being reserved, simply mo
nopolizes the available supply of taci
turnity. Every time he comes to
Washington he is besought by all >
kinds of people to give up just the !
teenle-weeniest little bit of a tip on j
what T. R. has in his mind. On such j
occasions within recent months Mr :
I.oeb's discourse has heen the per
fect illustration of the bit of diplo
send. of Michigan. It happened some
what in this wise:
Mr .Townsend is a candidate for thc»
Senate in Michigan. with special de
signs upon the toga now worn by
Senator Julius Caesar Burrows. Julius
Caesar, having by dint of long usage,
become greatly attached to that par
ticular toga, has no possible idea of
separating himself from it without a
huge row. Consequently there ara
real doings in Michigan.
Recently President Taft spoke at a
big meeting at Jackson, Mich., tha
home of Mr. Townsend. Townsend
was chairman and presented tha
speaker, taking advantage incidentally
of the opportunity to make a speech
that was carefully calculated to do no
harm to the Townsend senatorial as
pirations. He presented Senator Wil
liam Alden Smith, President Taft and
various other notables, all of whom
delivered themselves of appropriate
observations. But he entirely over
looked the opportunity to present also
the Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows, who,
clothed in coveted toga and a tailor
made suit of senatorial dignity, set ex
pectant on the platform looking for a
chance to get in a word for his own
cause. Mr Townsend, however, wag
utterly unable to see the Senator, and
in due time announced that the meet
ing was adjourned, Mr. Burrows still
having that speech in his system.
President Taft observed this per
formance. and report is that he »al
thoroughly mad about It. That night
when the presidential party left Jack
son Senator Burrows was Invited t»
travel In the President's car; Repre
sentative Townsend was accorded th*
distinguished privilege of traveling la
the day coach at regular tariff rates.
And in order that there should be no
mistake about it. the story has beet*
permitted to leak out from such quar
ter* that nobody entertains any doubt*
to the President’s purpose to adminis
ter a lesson to Mr. Townsend.
