Out of the Muck "Quo VadltTWhere are you going? What a name for a book!

Today's newspaper this Sunday morning la filled with newsfacts. Where it the big general truth that hangs It all together. Insurgent, Standpatter, grafter and reformer, prince, peasant and poet?

We all like a man who can do things. We all like a man who won't pretend to do things he can't. Well, here's a man who refused to write a story about the graft In Pittsburg Hit reaaon, not that he could not write a good magazine article, not that he tcorned the "Muck" He is a big enough man. Brand Whitlock, who it the epostle of things that are real as -mayor of Toledo. He refused to write the article because he "could only write the old squalid story of a rather commonplace exposure of municipal grafting, and that, "he says" that, wouldn't be worth while."

He wants to tell the big, big story the story of movements of the peoplernot of "good citizens," not of crooks, not of bosses, not of pawns, not the old. the sad, the sorrowful tales of the scum and upper crust. And he is right! Listen. The atory of Pittsburg 'would be all that the story of any city it at I have indicated: the bi-partisan machine, the public service corporation, etc. but it would be more. It would be more. It would illustrate the curious effectt of long acceptance of cold, intellectual theories in place of religion, and how thit developa the ability to separate morals and manners; how one's theology needn't interfere with one't religion, and all that.. It would be the atory of the union of politica and business; and the trail would lead up to those proud and inaolent aristocracies that are founded on the purchase of the privilege of making the laws, and down to. those atewa of horror where they pay for the privilege of breaking the laws. It would be the story of Chris Magee, the good-natured, human boss; of Blakeley, the upright prosecutor; of the methods of hired detectives and the corruption of officialdom. Pittsburg haa riches, art. organized charity, and piety; but. she lacks wealth, beauty, aocial justice, and religion. And sending the "bad" to prison, and electing the "good" to office and changing the paper charters of the city, are not going to work any real reform. They think they'll get "good government" and "civic righteousness," and then their problems will be solved. This It what they propose to do; this is all they tell ua now, and I can't write a story on that. The story would be as futile aa little legal reform." What do you make out of the way things are going? Thit it not addressed to the presbyter, nor the priest, not to the banker and the director of the public service corporation no not, most assuredly not, to the "good citizen." Neither is it addressed to the loafer, the hobo, the parasite and the degenerate. Neither of these categories has the slightest resemblance to the average man. What do you make out of the way things are going? Listen, please once again to Whitlock who shows himself a real man In each Inspiring sentence: 1 "It is, however, consoling and inspiring to believe yes, to know that there are in Pittsburg at in all cities hundreds of thousands of decent, virtuous, wholesome, toiling people; that these make up by far the larger part of the population, too, and that they will save Pittsburg, and make her as good as she is great. It is a fact stimulating to the imagination and encouraging to the soul that. In all these stores and shops and mills, there are hard-working, modest, unknown thousands who are pure and loyal, who are humanity's hope; that even the most stunted and abused figures out of the Survey give more promise than that class which rides upon their backa and devours them as it rides. Good government, efficient government, if by those phrases is meant, as Is usually meant, government by the "good" whoever they may be! and the efficient, will not do; it will avail nothing to Pittsburg or to any city, to substitute for grafters, great or petty, personally honest men who will legally give away franchfses for nothing, instead of bartering them illegally for big bribes. Pittsburg can't be saved by an aristocracy of the better element; she can be saved only by democracy with a very little "d." And she will be saved that way some day, never fear, though not until all the other cities are similarly saved." This big thing we are all up against may be a big black bogey its only ourselves after all. Hut there will come a time when out of the dark, out of the ignorance which gives power to "good citizens" crooks, society leaders, financiers, politicians, intellectuals (departures from the normal, the average, and the real) will come the sturdy growth of the whole people. Mark you! Once a good stalk of corn was a rarity. The good ear was not the average. Today due to scientific experiments (which means absence of ignorance) we have whole fields of corn which bear ears of practical perfection all vital.

It's the average that counts. The average ear the average man. And so Brand Whitlock refused to write the story of Pittsburg. A "muck raking" story wouldn't be worth printing or reading." "Toward the subject I feel the tame apathy that was felt toward the ordinary newspaper account of some casualty by Thorau, who would not read, as you will remember, the accounts for example of crimes and accidents, because, having once grasped the principle, he felt it unnecessary to multiply. Indefinitely, instances of that principle."

. The world to Whitlock as to every real man, is a good place in which to live and is growing better No magazine, no newspaper, no book no man can tell the truth about anything. He may tell the fact as he saw it, but who can put the big, the great, the majestic progress of a whole people, into the swelling chorus of great optimistic truth with which it deserves to be sung? The truth? "Quo Vadis?" "Where are you going?"

Race Suicide' '

Not Needed in Oyster Bay Census Reports Show a Decrease in Population in Roosevelt's Home Town Gossip From New York.

BY FRANCIS-PHILLIPS.' New York. July 30. Something has gone askew of late years In Oyster Bay, while Colonel Roosevelt has been vociferating anent race suicide and ! kindred subjects. Judging from thej warmth with which his fellow towns-! men of. the Long Island vilage hare applauded his phillipicj on cliildless ill . . i . - ? liuuiiitfe lor ine last lour or live years one might be led to conclude that Oyster Bay was one of the most prolific settlements in the country. The report of the last census, just made public shows that while other sections of Long Island have grown tremendously, largely through propagation. Oyster Bay has made a gain of but five per cent, in its populatior. since 1900. To no one more than the Colonel is the news of his home town's decay more disappointing. Its apparent rejection of his idea of lcr?e families is variously ascribed to the hard times the increased cost of living and the conviction that it is not ijracticable ia these strenuous times, with everything operating against the multiplication of the race. While tho large family may be a good thing for some parts of the country wher labor ia scarce and rent cheap, Oyster Bay, though sticking as tenaciously as ever to the other pet policies of its popular idol and most distinguished citizen, is willing to pass up to its neighboring villages the prestige of raising children. Professor David Staar Jordan, president of the Leland-Stanford University, Berkeley, Cal., shied a verbal brick at Professor Harry Thurston Peck- of Columbia University this week before his departure for Europe on the Minnetonka. Professor Peck, it will be recalled is being used for breach of promise by Esther Quinn, a former woman journalist, who accuses his of trifling with her affections. Recently President Nicholas Murray Butler, chafing under the publication of love letters purporting to have been sent to the woman by Professor Peck, asked the latter to resign from the chair of Latin that he has occupied in the University for many years. The refusal of the pedagogue to do ' so has served to create a situation which will probably stir up no end of a row when the collegiate year opens In the autumn. "It is the duty of every college president to bounce any professor who is crooked financially or in his dealings with women, said Dr., Jordan. "College presidents the country over have to keep their eyes open In regard to Just such matters an those that have , arisen in this particular case. I do not want to pass judgment upon Professor! Peck, but if what has been printed about the case is true. Professor Butler has biH one course left open to him and that it to throw out the ofefnding member of his faculty." Professor Peck, who is now under suspension is preparing an elaborate defence when his case comes up for consideration before the trustees of the university. The oft repeated assertion that native New Yorkers do not command the same value with the big corporations of the city as do men born and raised outside of Manhattan, was Interestingly emphasized the other day by an advertisement inserted in one of the large dally papers by one of the most influential business concerns In town. The advertisement said among other things: "We have several opportunities for earnest, high grade men who can develop into good executives. The men we want are clean cut, morally sound fellows from New England, the West and the South, men who are dependent upon themselves, who have self-reliance, a sense of responsibility and are in New York to win." The history of the "out of town' workers in New York has been one of conspicuous achievement. At tho head of a majority of the large mercantile, industrial and liauciary institutions, not omiting the newspapers, are men bred on the farms of the East, South and West, who starting at the lowest rung of the ladder have' worked themselves to the front through grit and ability. , . It is this disposition to recognize fitness from whatever source It proceeds that has made New York such a good field for men "from the country."
