We have followed the growth of an an
Gent idea OH modern soil and seen its
fruitage. But we have seen the one
strange phenomenon that strikes the
student of history wherever found-the
revulsion of men, even III the lowest
ranks of life. against injustice; re-
volt that always ends IN something bet
ter. 1t teaches valuable lesson in re-
gard-to the multitude. 1t shows that
men must be moved in mass. News
papers may give all the ideas, ali the
facts, all the legal conclusions. Men
still need the mass meeting, because
they are moved to action in multitude.
Magazines may give the highest
teaching and solve the intellectual
problem, but the pulpit aud plat
FORM with the aid of music, must
gather men and holding them in masses,
move them in the mass to better life.
Law is simply the attempt of public
opinion to do justice to the criminal and
protect the innocent. The common law
aims 10 express the common sense. the
common humanity, the common Justice
and the common veal of the common
wealth.
-. On the Very Surface
of this conclusion constantly recurs the
Idea that men never fall below rude
sense of right and wrong. Our ideas
may be formed by the dramatic picture
OF the very weak old man" gathering
all his forces for one strong appeal. and
in that appeal declaring: "FOr Justice,
all place palace and all season sum-
the avenger and then to the
mob; but will finally end in
the establishment of law and order.
We believe that lynch law is wrong. 1t
Is condemned by the common consent
of civilized people. We should be slow
TO consent TO its practice even under Sc
we're trial. But when there is no oDpor-
tunity for Right to make herself known:
when Justice is gagged, land Wrong rides
III the trinmphal chariot, we find the
one road to redress through that rude
sense OF right which blaZes up in a
SpaSm of virtue, even in people who do
not maintain the same virtue in their Or
binary life. And this sense of mans re-
spOnSiblllty that does so flash up in
Spasmodic yirtue-what is this but the
voice of God in the hearts of the people?
10 those who believe that we have a re-
llgious duty i'll trying TO make the state
what all experience teaches that it
should be, an institution that will make
men better, this will at once point the
lesson. And to those who believe with
Mr.. Edison that the best aim of religion
is strong, pure government, let me say
that here is the place to find your OPP
portunity, and do your work. For here
is war that will never cease. Here is
a flag that Will never be lowered. Here
IS Il field for young man where lie will
md his strongest powers called out.
Lift the banner, then, for better COM
monwealth. Battle with the wrong that
lies within a mile of the court house
belfry. And in so doing you will be
fighting the good fight, and though you
may fail to-day somebody with your
cause will win tomorrow.

A NIGHT WITH WOLVES.
Hairbreadth Escape From Death

IN the Wilds of the Far West.
1t was, if l mistake not, the first day

likewise he can do his little mile in two
logs; Indifference IS hobyious."
Mile after mile l followed the trail,
finding plenty of blood all the way, but
seeing nothing of the elk, and at last
the sun, which went down at prepos-
terUuSly early hour on that day, gave
indications of sudden leave taking: it
began to grow dark. / still hurried on
| as best L could, feeling hot and anxious,
until.at the edge of an immense swamg,

| trail no further. Here l decided to let
| the dog go. He had been showing I'M
| wonted eagerness all the way, and
was sure he could find the elk in a few
minutes; also, having found it, he was
sure to notify by bowling long and loud,
so sent him in. For some five min
uteS after he started all was silent:
then came the howl was waiting and

and within half mile of me.
There was no use attempting to pene-

would be fool to try it-so | COM

making other little arrangements for
passing the night endurably. Hardly
mad begun to fix a rough camp, how
ever. when from the swamp arose such
series of yells and bowls as few nerv-
Gus persons would care to hear in close
proximity on dark night, and in a
maryelously short time Pete, the dog,
was covering and growing at my feet
In an agony OF terror.
The swamp seemed literally alive
with wolves. They collected about the
carcass of the elk, and in the stiffness
of the night l fancied l could hear the
bones crack under their powerful Jaws
as they fought, snarled, gormandized,
and howled by turns. 1t was in vain
that | went as far into the swamp as
could get, shouting myself hoarse and
firing toward them repeatedly. The
rascals seemed to know was impotent
to do them any harm, and only howled
the louder.

afforded for observing the traits and pc
culiarities of the sanguinary towards

under other circumstances, but l was
very anxious to possess the head and
skin of buck elk entire, and | knew
the bruteS too we'll to expect anything
more than the bare antlers after they
were done with it, so | gave up irving
TO scare them and listened to their
beaStly snarling and wrangling as they
gobbled and tore my elk, inWardly
swearing that while 1 lived | never
would let slip an opportunity for taking
elk, and after that kept up hullabaloo
at intervals all night, to the extreme
terror of Pete, who shivered and
watched necessarily.
Some time after midnight it COM
menced raining most furiously, the
wind blowing almost a hurricane at the
same time. and it was with the greatest
difficulty that L could keep the fire
alive: TO make matters worse the
weather grew rapidly colder, and be-
fore morning L was shaking to the
point of dissolution with the ague, l
had nothing to eat. had left my half
pint flask at the shanty, and had neith-

was one OF the nights to be remem-

stlll-hunter. But for the COMPOUNDED
ague could have managed to eXtort
some fun from it, too.
After the fire got low and gave out but
very little light the wolves grew very
bold. coming within a few rods and
bowling as if for wager: at every fresh
yell Pete would shiver with redoubIed
vigor, pressing his ribs against the log
and whining piteously: at last, in the
very extreme of cOwardice and fear he
damned himself as far under the log as
possible, where he lay whining and
shivering until daylight. Few hunting

CRITICISM ON DANCING.

Lutheran church, preached upon .'The
Modern Dance" last evening. He chose
his text from EcclesiaStes, ill.,, 4: ''And

He said: I'm the early ages the
dance was deyout, appearing in the
garb of religion as the minister of God.
The hebrews were accustomed to ex-
press their religious JOY and emotion in
rhythmic movements. AS a religious
ceremony to dance is recognized in the
Scriptures, but as social amuseme Mt it

has the dance changed from its ancient
religious character that the church
now recognizes it as one of its most
dangerous foes. All who wish to main

A CHILD LABOR LAW,

Wisconsin Statute.

Prepared on the Plan of the New
Wisconsin Statute.
The executive council Of the State
Federation of Labor held brief session
yesterday afternoon, and the only mat
ter considered was child labor law,
such as would meet with the approval
of the conservative members of the
present legislature. After some dis
cusSion as to the needs of some legisla-
ton restricting the employment of small
children, it was agreed to prepare bill
modelled after the new Wisconsin child
labor law. Some of the more important
features of this measure provide that no
child under twelve years of age shall be
employed in any shop, factory, mine or
place of amusement, except under Ger
tain circumstances, when the county
judge shall have jurisdiction i'll the mat
ter, and shall decide under what condi-
tons such child may be employed. A
committee of the Federation was ap-
pointed to prepare this bill and have it
introduced, if possible, during the COM
ing week

Frank NJ. Lewis, as the professor, and
Miss Ada Deaves, in her dual role, were
the leaders and favorites, and in their
clever work were roundly applauded.
Charles Jerome, as ODonovan Duff, the
second of the cronles, did good piece
of character work and shared the ap-
plause. In the company are many very
shapely forms and good voices, and as a
result the speciality work is all good.

A Satisfied Man.

Did you ever see him? 1t seems as if
the search for him would be more hope
less than Diogenes' quest. One man is
saving money to build a house: an
other is trying to sell his for less than it
cost. This young man is spending ali
the money he can earn in theater tick
cts. bouquets and livery hire to per-
suade girl to marry him; that middle
aged man is paying lawyers big money
to get a divorce. The Eastern man
wants to go West; the hungry and crop
less Western farmer wishes he could go
back to the old home in the East. Farm
ers wish they had soft snap keeping
store: the merchant with notes coming
due in the bank wishes he could have as
easy time as ''that old Granger" The
children are in hurry to be ''grown-up
folks" The old people would like to
be young again. However, the above
does not show that all are dissatisfied.
