Vol. 63 13 1899 The Outlook An Editorial Change Published Weekly October 14, 1899 With this week's issue of The Outlook the two Departments entitled respectively "The Religious World" and "The Home Club" are discontinued; at the same time the space devoted to a review of the week is proportionately enlarged, and hereafter events of importance in the ecclesiastical and the domestic worlds will be treated as are other events in the editorial pages of The Outlook. Setting the Religious World off in a department by itself is not consistent with the spirit of this paper. No other truth seems to us more fundamental, more important, or more needing emphasis in our time than the truth that religion is not a department in life, and that when we try to make it so it ceases to be religion. Religion is a standard by which all life is to be measured, a principle by which all life is to be governed, a spirit by which all life is to be imbued the spirit of hope and faith and love. Similarly, the distinction between topics which belong to the home and those which do not belong to it is a purely conventional distinction. The home touches the great world outside at every point. tion of woman's suffrage political or domestic? It is both. Is the question of home sanitation domestic or municipal? It is both. Where belong questions of education and industry? They belong alike to the home, the State, the Church, and the individual. Hereafter, therefore, all topics the so-called religious and the so-called secular, the domestic, the industrial, the ecclesiastical, and the political will be treated, without attempt at formal separation, in our editorial pages; and as every paragraph, as well as every longer editorial, has its title, it will be easy for the reader to make such classification in his reading as he may like, omitting what Is the ques No. 7 does not concern him and reading what does. Admiral Dewey in Washington Following the splendid reception at New York, it was feared by some that the Washington welcome to Admiral Dewey might suffer by contrast. If the New York ceremonies were unprecedented in the history of the metropolis, so the Washington ceremonies were also unprecedented in the history of the capital. It was a genuine home-coming as well, for hence forth Washington is to be the Admiral's official residence. He was immediately received at the White House by President McKinley and the members of his Cabinet. On the following day he was escorted by the President and Cabinet in public procession to the Capitol-an honor never before paid to any American. An escort was formed by the Governors of eight or more States with their staffs. Many regulars and marines were in line, and, when the Admiral alighted, a procession of girls marched before him as he went to the Capitol, and strewed his path with roses. The presentation of the sword was prefaced by an eloquent address from Secretary Long. The President's speech was as follows: Admiral Dewey: From your entrance in the harbor of New York with your gallant crew and valiant ship, the demonstrations which everywhere have greeted you reveal the public esteem of your heroic action and the fullness of the love in which you are held by your country. The voice of the Nation is lifted in praise and gratitude for the distinguished and memorable services you have rendered the country, and all the people give you affectionate welcome home, in which I join with all my heart. Your victory exalted American valor and extended American authority. There was no flaw in your victory; there will be no faltering in maintaining it. It gives me extreme pleasure and great honor in behalf of all the |
