The theory of West Point cadets and
college students generally that hazing is
justifiabie since it instills manliness into
under classmen, no doubt has some founda-
ton. At least no great harm would be done
If the hazing were confined to such pranks
as some of those described by cadets before
the congressional investigating committee
blindfolding the students and compelling
them to feed molasses to each other, forcing
them to salute by standing on their heads,
etc The trouble is that it is not and never
will be confined within harmless limits The
youth and lack of judgment on the part of
the hazers, and their feeling of authority,
their sense of power over new men. by very
force of human nature, lead them too far.
But the most forcible argument against the
custom, and one that Is being mercilessly
rubbed in to the first classmen. is that
hazing is cowardly because it pits undevel-
oped and inexperienced men against trained
athletes; also, that in carrying 1t on they
are behaving dishonorably by acting a lie,
while they proudly boast of their truthful
ness, and a respect for truth is one of the
first things supposed to be impressed upon
them after they enter the institution. If
the cadets do not know more after this

Mrs Lille Devereux Blake, a woman of
so-called advanced ideas. recently de-
clared in a public address that a great
wrong had been done to man by not
teaching him to sew. ''He has nothing TO
do in the evenings" she went on to say,
land that is why he smokes too much"
Now, it may be that Mrs. Blake could
respect and admire and even enjoy the So
ciety of a man whose habit was to sit
down by the evening lamp and work indus
triously on a center piece" or sofa pill
low or other bit of embroidery, or who
utilized the hours by neatly mending his
hose and other apparel. but 1t is not too
much TO say that the average woman could
not approve her taste. Such man would
necessarily come under the generic head
of ''sissy"-a term not belonging to CLASH
cal English. perhaps. but one whose sig
nifcance is clearly understood even in the
most select and correct of women's club
circles. 1t will not do. of course. to say that
the sissy man pleases but few women.

The time-honored doctrine that all vir-
tue resides in Christian nations and that
the heather ones are simply examples of
total human depravity is receiving some
severe jolts nowadays The more we learn
of the heather peoples, especially of the
Japanese and Chinese, the more evident ii
becomes that they possess some distinct
racial virtues, and the more they see of
Christian peoples the more they are dis
posed to question the validity of some of
their claims. An interview with Ii Hung
Chang published in the Journal few
days ago quoted him as commenting very
severely on the looting done by the mis-
sionaries in China. 1.-THE missionary has
not been equal to the ordeal" said the old
diplomat. His religion has not been
proved here to be what 1t is held up to
be by its advocates" Ii Hung Chang said
he had been reading the Ten Command
ments. and he suggested that the eighth
should be amended to read. Thou shalt
not steal. but thou mayest loot" Another
intelligent Chinaman seems to have dis
covered tndt CHRISTIAN nations are not per-
feet. WI Ting-fang. Chinese minister,
thinks lynching a barbarous practice. A
few days ago, commenting on the recent
lynching of negro at Leavenworth, he
said:
China has been accused Of many bar
barities but lynching is not one of them,
and burning the poor fellow at the stake.
ughi The very idea makes me shudder
The crime for which Alexander suf-
fered is unknown in China. 1T is a crime
that stirs mems blood. but the American
officers-these sheriffs, you call them-seem
to help these mobs instead of protecting
their prisoners. The mobs kill prisoners
whom they have sworn to protect. In
China an officer who did that would forfeit
his life. He would kill himself rather than
suffer such disgrace. Nations that permit
lynching cannot call themselves Christian
nations
Really. If these heathens do not stop
talking the Christian nations will have to
double their demands for indemnity.
