tn. Senate is very much occupied with
other matters. and the House is not or

therefore. that early action on the bill can
not be obtained. and that the local author
tiles all be left to deal with the matter if
i, shall come before them according to
their reading of the existing regulations

The S:ar gave space Wedne sday to a CON-
mInication protesting against the proposed
restriction. Advocates of the measure
were characterized as ''weIl-meaning. but
fearfuly illiberaL'' The assertion was
made that from the days OF the Caesars

and their fellows have looked on and ap-
plauded. Who dare say the day will come
when men and women will cease TO admire
the Drawn and skill OF the trained athlete
as applied TO giadiatoriaI contests?"
The stars correspondent used phrases
that put the best possible light on the sub
j-ct from his point OF view. There will.
however. be a protest from very large

cation he makes that men and women gem

however, would no more have fitted Ro-
man customs eighteen hundred years ago
than it fits American customs today. Cor
bett would not have been allowed to escape
with a sprawl on the floor and moment of
pain, but Fitzsimmons would have been
obliged by the men and women who ad-
mire Drawn and skill to go in and do him
up for good and all. When the Romans
gave themselves up to brutality. the spec
tators became as abandoned the per-
formers. Nobody stopped at a halfway
house. except when occasionally in an &C.
centric humOr.
But although men have been stripped of
much of their former CCarseness. they
have lest neither courage nor endurance
Coarseness does not beget either quality in
men. The legions of the Caesars were COM
posed of sturdy fellows, but they never on
any field exhibited more courage than was
shown by the men who rode with Sheridan
a Winchester. or who charged with Pickett
a Gettysburg. The so-called manly art of
sclf-deferIse" as now taught is nothing but
a toughs trick for making money.
No. the proposition presented is very
simple one. The exhibition of the pictures
described at a price which would fill halls

moraiizing effect on any community. And

schwarms address was the leading
feature. He argued that the stability
OF the government depends upon the
peoples knowledge of God and In
stanced many historical occurrences In
support of his argument.
Wealth, he said, or battallons, or
craftsmanship, were good for nation,
but the all-lmportlnt dependence was
In the knowledge OF God. The hand OF
God could be seen in all the epochs OF
history. Especially is this true OF the

prayers Of Lincoln, In his private room,

refuge of those flying from the reiig-
lous prosecutions In Europe, The most
desired class settled in what Is now the
greatest country on earth.
Religious liberty Is a boon, and In
the Country OF the free" all men are
equal. There Is yet the slavery the re-
suit of the liquor traffic but the hand
OF God will do away with that slavery
in time to come. The churches, the
