The lives of both Washington and Lin
coln were fittingly commemorated with
patriotic services at the Lowe Avenue
Presbyterian church Sunday . morning.
Many members of the Grand Army of the
Republic were In the large audience. They
were thrilled anew with the old songs of
battlefield and bivouac.
The program opened with an organ pre
lude, followed by the processional. Next
came the familiar, somber strains of the
doxology and after a hymn waa responsive
reading.
"The Star Spangled Banner," by Mrs.
Herry Payne and chorus, came next In
swelling, martial volume and waa followed
by scripture reading and prayer.
"We're Tenting Tonight on the Old
Camp Ground" sang Mrs. C. L. Vance
and chorus with a fervency that brought
other days to many minds.
C. D. Hutchinson delivered the first ad
dress on Washington. He dwelt most par
ticularly upon the honesty and bravery
of the father of our country and of hla
unselfishness In refusing the offer of a
third term as president.
M. E. Johnson then spoke briefly on
Lincoln. He pointed to the humane In
stincts of the emancipator which were re

the common soldiers and the common
people.
J. B. Wootan reviewed the character of
both men. He called attention to the
Christian lives of both of the great men
of history, their kindliness and forbear

Cardinal Gibbons Takes Famous In
ventor to Task.
MAKES REPLY TO THE INTERVIEW
Admires the Man (or Hla Gealns, bat
raanot Asjree with Him la Hla
Vlewe Ceaeemliisj Tblaiavs
of the Fsitsire.
NEW TCKRK. Feb. lS.-Opeolal Tele
rram.) "I cannot place Edison. He Is
not a materialist: neither Is he an Idealist,
a monolst, agnostic or pantheist. I do not
know what school claims' him. He dog
matises on his own account."
That was the best Cardinal Gibbons said
he could do In an Interview printed here
today. In summing up the philosophy of
Thomas A. Edison, the Inventor, In the lat
ter's denial of Immortality.
The cardinal said he had read the cele
brated Edison Interview that has stirred
up the religious world, "carefully, very
carefully," and the cardinal added that he
recretted that the Inventor had given such
views to the public. Then he started In to
dlasect those views of the Inventor In his
usual straifht forward manner. In the
first place, the cardinal said of Edison:
"I admire Mr. Edison's genius. Some
belittle him as a mere mechanic. I have
no patience with such a view, for no man
could achieve what Mr. Kttlson has with
out eitraordlnary mental powers. He Is
the representative of American Inventive
genius and has brought glory upon our
country. He Is truly a marvel and as well,
a great benefactor cf the race. He has been
Intensely devoted to his pursuits and he has
paid the penalty just as Darwin did, just
as so many of our great men do." The
cardinal did not find Oitson skeptical.
Flads Him Dogmatic.
"Not In the least. In fact, he Is astonish
ingly dogmatic," he said. "Assertion, as
sertion everywhere. The proofs? He does
not offer any. Such a procedure Is not ex
pected of an eminent scientist. It Is ex
pected. Indeed, of a pope, for It Is a pope's
offl.-e to decide and define, while he leaves
j It to theologtsns to discuss and prove.
Hven the pope does not dogmatize uniu
the question has been discussed for cen
turies snd settled by the voice of experts.
Hut here Is a scientist who proclaims
dot-mas to the public; an 4 he seems to
ask us to believe them because he be
lieves them. If he spoke at the head of a
school he might refer us to their argu
ments; but 1 do not know for whom he
speaks. Not for any materialists, because
he believes matter cannot explain all; not
for the idealists, for he believes In matter;
not for the monolst s, evidently; not for ths
agnoMica, for he acknowledges a supreme
lrteiltgen-e: uol for the pantheists so far
at lea! as he reveals his mind. In fact,
1 cannot l ines VI r. Kdison. I do not know
any school that would claim him. All I
can be sure of is thst he dog mat 'lea on his
omn account.
"Mr. t dlkou'e real view seems to be that
a man's Intelligence Is composed of the
corobuaed lnteiUgeocs of his brain ceils.

But how does Mr. Edison know that a
man's Intelligence Is made up of the
combined Intelligence of brain cells? He
claims to have reached his conclusion
through the study of hard facta.' We
wish. In scientific fashion, he had given
his facts to the world before, his con
clusion. , Mast Prod ace New Parts.
"The facts are these at least until Mr
Edison produces new facts, as yet un
known to the scientific worlds, no one
knows anything about the existence ot an
Intelligent cell. No proof, not the slight
est, has ever been advanced to show In
telligence in a cell.' So far as science
knows there is no more proof of the ex
istence of Intelligence In a brain csll than
there la In the cells of a potato, or In the
molecules of the matter that make up this
paper. We dd not know there Is a con
nection between the brain and the mind,
that the mind thinks through acts of the
brain as It sees through aid of the nerves
of the eye; but that does not prove the
brain thinks any more than it proves the
nerves of the eye see. No more even than
It would prove that the strings of a violin
enjoy their own music.
"Mr. Edison speaks of his 'Investigations'
Into the soul; ha seems to have looked
for it with a microscope. St. Paul was a
true philosopher; for what knoweth the
things of a man, save tha spirit of man
that Is In him? It is only by searcHTng
Into our consciousness that the spirit of
mind or soul can be discovered."
In conclusion Cardinal Gibbons said he
Is glad of one thing and that is that Mr.
Edison recognises the existence of a su
preme intelligence.
What Kdleoa Des Nat Believe.
"To me," he said, "ths whole world tes
tifies this and I cannot understand how
any man today can conceive of this world
as the result of blind forces. Mr. Edison
sees supreme Intelligence directing the
formation of the human ear.
"Mechanism alone, be says, cannot ei
plaln thla world; only supreme Intelligence
could produce It, rule It and bring It to
Its perfection. There is one thing I caj
hardly understand. . Mr. Edleon admits a
supreme intelligence with a will and power
to direct ths forces of nature. Philoso
phers. I believe, would call such a being
a person; yet, Mr. Edison refuses to be
lieve In a personal god. without telling
us what he means by 'person.' J trust he
does not, with some, consider that a 'per
sonal god' Is a sort of magnified man,
with a vague, magnified body.
"Like many others today he fears to use
ths term, 'personal god although his Ideas
and observations should lead him to be
lieve In illm. In that adorable Being, with
supreme Intelligence, directing the world
and Independent of It. This idea Is the
only one In harmony with right reason;
and it haa long ruled the minds of the
world's greatest philosophers. It would
be a disastrous day, Indeed, for our coun
try and for civilization, not to speak of
religion, ir tnis idea ever begun to lose
Its hold on the minds of tbs people."

Chinese Tactics
May Prove Undoing;
Japan Ever Active
Diplomats in Peking See Utter Hope
lessness of Nation Defy
ing Russia.
i
PEKING, Feb. 1. It is considered signif
icant that the Japanese here are anxious
te direct attention to the British Invest
ment of the disputed Tun-Nan border,
which Is due o the procrastinating tactics
of the Chinese In negotiating a settlement
of a long-standing dispute. This Angln
Chlnese dispute arose from the failure to
deltmlnate properly 230 miles of the Burmah-Tun-Nan
frontier and the consequent
troubles with marauding tribes, which led
to the dispatch of a British force under
orders to remain until ths dellmtnatlon was
completed.
Ths suspicion of a Russo-japanese con
cert Is still strong and Japanese action Is
looked for at the auspicious moment. Ths
officials of the British legation, having had
thflr patience exhausted frequently of late,
do not sympathize with the Chinese In the
difficulty which has arisen with Russia and
the consensus of opinion In the legation
quarterns that ths Chinese government. In
stesd of advancing In recent years, has
steadily become mors and mora Incapable.
It Is declared that It Is almost Impossible
for the legations to obtsln action on any
question. They Instance the delay In the
American loan.( Among the government
officials ths talk Is endless and little prog
ress Is made. Both the friends and foes of
China see hopelessness in the situation and
