As Traveler Sees It
By MRS. H. H. HORNE.
The whole pageant bears inti
mately upon the inescapable one
of the ChristiaTi education of the
masses, for here one treads in the
footsteps of St. Paul, and some
thing of his viewpoint may be ex
pected. St. Paul stressed the value
of education and honorable citi
zenry in the warfare for right be
liefs and behavior that should
adorn a life of acceptable Chris
tian service. Peculiarly in Rome
(the truth must be told!) is priest
craft the attenuation of this fatal
flaw in the hierarchy. Its co
existence with enlightenment is
an impossibility. One spells the
sure doom of the other.
Undoubtedly Christendom is
debtor to the Roman for the con
servation of idealism in music, let
ters and aesthetics. Dearest of all
is its sustained presentation of the
Christian doctrine of the Trinity,
which, anyone who has touched
poignantly the intellectualized
spirituality of academic life in cer
tain sections of the United States,
can scarcely over-estimate. The
priestcraft, however, to which re
ference is here made is a dan
gerous variant of the caste evil.
The casual observer would rate the
personnel of this horde of pilgrims
at about one-fourth illiterate, two-
fourths ignorant, three-fourths un-
'e3iaeated—yielding according to
Binet, something like a mob 1.2.
of 70.
The star that guides them is
an inherent faith in the leaders
and a sadly misplaced “I accept”
toward all that is told them.
Prayers and benedictions in any
unknown patios of eccliasticism
falls on dull ears, and dies away
into piteous cries in the dark—
“An infant crying in the dark,”
an infant crying for the light, and
with no language but a cry.”
Even the ceremony of “seeing the
hope” reeks with mediaeval in
sincerity. From some vague source,
Peabody, the American College of
Rome, you receive there your am
bassador rigorous documentary
details as to proper grooming for
your “audience.” Maybe, short of
time (or ready cash) you decide to
take these regulations with the
salutary grain of salt, but you
learn that there is no known com
promise of black-veil-clause.
Therefore, with the sensible open
throated V where the black stock
ought to be, and all guiltless of
those “sleeves well below the
wrist,” you take courage from the
bolts of fine lace, in which the
jewel laden priests disport them
selves and deftly spread out the
aforesaid black veil to function as
a mantle of charity over that spif-
fy gray tweed, or one-piece brown
crepe with its conventional sil
houette that comfort for the day’s
rounds may have demanded.
Presto! You are winked at figur
atively speaking, by the watch dog
of Vatican decorum, and you come
away with a perfectly true story
of Roman chivalry and pontifical
graciousness. No non-Catholic or
American has been held to printed
specifications in many a day. Rome
cannot afford to issue commands
today, but she has a few weapons
left, as we shall see.
You may or may not kiss the
hand of the Pope. Very few Amer
icans do. But you will see it done
many, many times. The Pontiff is
said to be rather youthful, de
cidedly good-looking, and a vivaci
ous, clever conversationalist,
keenly interested in things Ameri-i
can. My healthy minded, 100 peri
cent American college freshman
declared he would take no chances
in the hand-kissing; so we (he andi
I) passed up the great thrill, tol
which Granny and the two girls
went with some gusto, safely con
ducted by Dad, who followed afar
off.
We lived in Rome, very near to
San Mario Maggiore, which is be
lieved to have been founded by a
certain Pope in a long forgotten
August. Legend has it that he
appeared to him and told him to
build to her honor a temple upon
that spot, on which he would find
snow the next day. Nearby with
its interesting relics of columns,
altars, etc., is still another garden
of Maecenas. He was always the
exquisite in the selection of his
numerous trysting places with his
muses. He possessed also the
original of the highly prized statue
known as “The Thorn Extractor.”
There are five so-called Pilgrim
churches, the oldest being San
Giovanni, perhaps also the most
modest, although remarkable for
its eight columns of porphyry. Its
foundation is to the credit of the
zealous Constantine, emperor in
424. Everywhere one sees arrest
ing statues of Popes Leo XIII and
Pino IX both saintly, sincere and
well beloved the world over. Dia
metrically opposite the papal re
fectory is the refreshingly modern
and well equipped Boyo Mission
School, the husky offsprings of
the federalized protestant churches
of America. Naturally a large per
cent of the students are Catholic,
but they are enthusiastic for edu
cation, clever and loyal to the
ideals presented to them by wise,
kind and consecrated teachers un
der the leadership of Dr. Maynard.
Dr. Maynard also directs a girls’
school and is an adept at securing

look is most inspiring. To that
pioneer spirit of the great mis
sionary Paul be the glory of going
on in strong clean hands, even in
Rome today.
Linked with his ideal of Chris
tian service, I beg to leave with
you the thought of one of Amer
ica’s grandest women of today, as
many of us have cause to believe,
Mary G. Winter. If I could re
call her matchless peroration word
for word. They elude me, but

was to burn the city, kill the men
and women. The poison gases,
so-called, mustard gas, tear gas
and other gases are more merci
ful than powder or bullets, just
as powder and bullets are more
merciful than weapons of an
earlier kind.

RESPECTABLE REAL ESTATE.
THE BIRTH CONTROL DEAN.
GAS WAR “BARBAROUS?”
IF SO, WE NEED IT.
Be careful about little things.
Sigmund Brietbart, called the
strongest man in Germany,
bent iron bars with his hands, tore
horse shoes apart, held two horses
pulling against each other. He
scratched himself with his nail,
blood poison developed — he’s
dead! Germs too small to be seen
with a microscope are stronger
than any man. Such germs are
usually on the hands.
Dean Inge, eminently respect
able clergyman at the head of St.
Paul’s Cathedral in London, favors
birth control. He says “LIMIT
FREE EDUCATION to not more
than three children, from any one
family.”
He believes parents will limit
the number of children, if they
have to educate all but three at
their own expense. Good, gloomy
dean, he knows little about human
nature.
And he worries, because com
mon people have most of the chil
dren, the birth rate being lowest
among the educated classes.
What would the dean have said
to Nancy Hanks, with bare feet,
a lady unable to read or write,
caring for a heavy baby in a hut
with a dirt floor, and without win
dows?
He’d have said “Leave child
bearing to the educated upper
classes, my dear.” But the big
baby was Abraham Lincoln. You
never can tell.
The latest asinine, intensely
dangerous proposition is that the
United States should sign an in-
tematlional “protocol,” pledging
ourselves against the use of chem
icals, including poison gases and
other gases in future warfare.
Chemical warfare, in addition
to being MODERN warfare, is the
least brutal, most merciful form
of war thus far devised by human
'M'iAsJr/es. 'ynwittiwii wariicie'cou’iS^
render unconscious the inhabitants
of a whole city, capturing without
killing them. "The old style of war
In the big war entire regiments,
made temporarily blind by tear
gas, were taken prisoners and
brought into camp, tears stream
ing down their faces, unable to
see their way, with not a man
wounded. Not one died, and the
blindness did not last.
Only a sickly sentimentalist can
call that kind of warfare “more
horrible” than the old fashioned
war that shot men to pieces and
left them to die of festering
wounds on the battlefield.
Meanwhile the army’s chemical
department, concentrated on study
of chemical warfare and chemistry
generally, is engaged in work of
value to the nation, APART from
war.
We are not going to attack any
body, and should develop to the
highest point every known method
of warfare, including chemical
warfare, to be ready for attack.
Mr. America
Meanwhile, poison gases are to
be used more and more in LEGIT
IMATE war, in fighting the boll
weevil and the European com
borer, which has already appeared
in several states, and might, if un-j
checked, blight the corn crop asi
the boll weevil does the cotton*
crop. I

considerable business. August

old cab horse in Dickens, that
would fall down if its driver al

he bought a 32-story building at
No. 61 Broadway, New York, for
$17,000,000. That would surprise
old Astor, who used to buy farms
on Manhattan Island.
