Woodrow Wilson's Criticism ol
Methods of Some Churches.
UNIVERSITIES ALSO SCORED.
Princeton’s President Says They Need
Democratic Regeneration Claim*
College Bred Man Won’t Do—Be
lieves Lincoln Would Not Have Suc
ceeded as a Graduate.
Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of
rriueeton university, as guest of honor
at the Princeton alumni dinner in
Pittsburg the other night made an ad
dress which startled his 200 college
hearers. He flayed methods of Protes
tant churches of the present day,
scored privately maintained colleges,
of which Princeton is one, saying that
the college bred man of today will not
do, and then launched into political
conditions, closing his speech with the
following:
“if she loses her self possession
America will stagger like France
through fields of blood before she
again finds peace and prosperity un
der the leadership of men who know
her needs.”
‘‘Pew Rents Above Souls.”
In part the head of Princeton uni
versity said:
"How does the nation judge Priuce
tou? The institution is intended for
the service of the country, and it Is
by the requirements of the country
that it will be measured. I trust I

WOODBOW WILSON,
may be thought among the last to
blame the churches, yet I feel it my
duty to say that they, at least the
Protestant churches, are serving the
classes and not the masses of the peo
ple. They have more regard for pew
rents than for men's souls. They are
depressing the level of Christian en
deavor.
“It is the same with universities.
We look for the support of the wealthy
and neglect our opportunities to serve
the people. It is for this reason the
state university is held in popular ap
proval while the privately supported
institution to which we belong is com
ing to suffer a corresponding loss of
esteem.
His Warning to Colleges.
“While attending a recent Lincoln
celebration I asked myself if Lincoln
would have been as serviceable to the
people of this country had he been a
college man, and I was obliged to say
to myself that he would not. The
processes to which the college man is
subjected do not render him service
able to the country as a whole. It is
for this reason that I have dedicated
every power in me to a democratic
regeneration. The American college
must become saturated in the same
sympathies as the common people.
The colleges of this country must be
reconstructed from the top to the bot
tom.
“The American people will tolerate
nothing that savors of exclusiveness.
Their political parties are going to
pieces. They are busy with their
moral regeneration, and they want
leaders who can help them to accom
plish it Only those leaders who seem
able to promise something of a moral
advance are able to obtain a follow
ing. The people are tired of pretense,
and I ask you, as Princeton men, to
heed what is going on.”
An English ponUcSTspeaker was ad
dressing an audience. Urging his
hearers to give utterance to their
views, he said, “If we remain silent
*the people will not hear our heart
rending cries 1”
SAFE FOURTH OF
JULY MOVEMENT
Man) Cities Plan For a Quiet
Celebration.
GOVERNORS ARE INTERESTED.
Statistics of Casualties From Use of
Fireworks In Past Years Have In
fluenced the Public In Adopting Safe
and Sana Style of Independence Day.
Pageant Features In Larger Cities.
The compilation of the number of
deaths and injuries caused by Fourth
of July accidents, which for years has
been a feature of a Chicago paper In
its issue following independence day.
has resulted in a constantly growing
movement for a more sane manner of
celebration. This year the movement
has begun much earlier and Is much
more widespread than ever before.
Recent dispatches from various parts
of the Union stated that action al
ready has been taken looking to a sen
sible observance of Independence day,
an observance unattended by loss of
life and limb.
Tlte tables prepared by the Journal
of the American Medical association
showing the number of casualties as a
result of the old style Fourth of July
celebration have done perhaps more
than any thing else to educate the peo
ple up to the adoption of the safe and
sane Fourth. In seven famous Revo
lutionary battles—Lexington, Bunker
Hill, Fort Moultrie, White Plains,
Fort Washington, Monmouth and Cow
pens—the number of killed and wound
ed was 1,111). The number of the kill
ed and wounded lust Fourth was
5,307 and for the last seven years
34,(503.
While the education of the public on
this question has been slow, there is
no city which has adopted the sane
and safe Fourth that has gone back
to the old kind. Most of the cities
have been looking for a substitute cel
ebration that will please the children
and give them something for the some
thing that has been taken from them.
The trend of thought In this lias been
to make the day of the “national nui
sance,” ns the Fourth lias been termed,
a day of instruction, and In nearly all
the cities the motive of the celebra
tions lias been Instruction in patriot
ism.
The grownups will take charge of
the celebrations this year and will reg
ulate the use of whatever fireworks
that nre permitted, the deadly variety
being absolutely prohibited In the
hands of the children. Iu this way It
Is hoped that the death roll will be
greatly reduced.
Cities That Will Be Quiet.
Among the cities which will join the
movement are: Chicago, Washington,
New York, Boston, New Haven, Conn.;
Newport, Pawtucket, Pittsburg, Mont
pelier, Vt., and Melrose, Haverhill and
Fitchburg, Mass.
In addition to the above definite ac
tion Governor Weeks of Connecticut is
urging a “day of pleasure anil profit
instead of a day of unrest and horror,”
and Governor Feruald of Maine is co
operating in the plan.
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice of New York city,
president of the Society For the Pre
vention of Unnecessary Noise, Is a
prominent leader in the move to have
the next Fourth devoted to oratory and
parades rather than to the explosion of
gunpowder. She has enlisted twenty
three governors and a national associa
tion for a sane observance and is sti’l
engaged in promoting the movement.
Mayor Gaynor of New York recently
signified his intention of upholding the
order prohibiting the sale of fireworks
at retail from June 10 to July 10. This
practically will prevent firecrackers
and the like from reaching the individ
ual exploder.
Plans In New England.
Many city councils in New England
have passed ordinances restricting the
use of explosives, while before the
Massachusetts legislature is a bill of
similar purpose.
Springfield, Mass., where the "safe
and sane” idea had its practical incep
tion seven years ago, again will hold
an orderly and instructive observance.
In Boston parades, a choral festival,
sports and fireworks displays are plan
ned.
In Washington young America will
have the fund, but a citizens’ commit
tee will take the chances. The scheme
worked well when tried last year.
This year, as last, not a dynamite
cracker or a cap pistol or a “snake in
the grass” will be sold. The celebra
tion will start in a public square at
sunup and will continue all day and
probably until midnight. There will
be band concerts, athletic games, boat
races and all kinds of outdoor sports.
Japanese flaffworks for day and other
kinds for night will be used, _but jthe
citizens’ committee will set them o.T
Pageants Are Planned.
In these celebrations ,-ii.J in all that
have been planned iu the larger cities
this year the pageant idea has been
the predominating one. In many of
the cities the floats are representative
of local historical scenes as well as
those of national interest.
Detroit and, iu fact, nearly all of
the western eittes are now beginning
to plan for an orderly celebration of
Independence day. marked by the abo
lition of the barbarity which has filled
the hospitals with maimed children.
CHOICE SEAT FOR TAFT.
Gold Plate Will Mark Where President
Sees Hans Wagner Play.
President Taft wants to sit where ha
can best see the “Flying Dutchman.”
Hans Wagner, play in the game be
tween the Chicago Cubs and Ihe Pitts
burg Pirates on May 3 at Pittsburg,
which the president has promised to
attend. After a careful survey base
ball engineers have decided that box
125. directly over the Pittsburg play
ers’ bench, about midway between the
plate and first base, is the best van
tage point for an angle on Wagner.
Tliis choice seat had been sold for
the season to a prominent business
man, but he has given it up in defer
ence to the president. He has done so
with the agreement that after the
presidential game the box will be
marked with a silver or gold plate to
set forth the fact that it did “on that
memorable day. May 3, 1910, hold the
mighty and distinguished figure of the
then president of the United States.”
A Biological Discovery.
Eugene Baiaillou. professor of biolo
gy at the University of Dijon, an
nounced before the Academy of Sci
ences In Paris the other night that
he had succeeded in developing two
tadpoles by producing traumatism in
a frog's egg with a platinum wire.
The experiment constitutes a most
important advance in the phenomenon
of parthenogenesis.

Bird Preserve For Audubon Society.
A game preserve of 1,000 acres on
Cape Ann, Massachusetts, to be main
tained by the National Audubon So
cieties, is proposed by James D. Hawks
of Detroit, vice president of the De
troit and Mackinac railroad. Mr.
nawks is the owner of an extensive
tract of land, fronting on the ocean,
between the Annlsquam and Essex riv
ers. He has been unsuccessful, he
says, in preventing the killing of game
on this property and has offered the
use of the estate as a game preserve to
the Audubon society.
