New York, Nov. 1S-After remark
able and thrilling adventure among
the cannibals ct New Britain,off New
Guinea, Rev. John Hopkins Denison
has returned to the Church of the Sea
and Land, at Market and Henry sts.,
laden with gifts from the man eating
inhabitants of this wild islcnd. 4 a..
1t was during this remarkable tour
that Mr.. Denison met DR.. Hermot,
who had fled from the :neighboring
island of st. Matthias, where the lead
er of his party, Herr Menke, n Ger
man millionaire, had been, killed by
the natives and his secretary, Caro-,
devoured by cannibals. E d.
A reporter who visited the study of
Rev. Mr.. Denison, at No. 81 Henry
St, was shown many curios picked up
during the stay among the cannibals.
One gift from a cannibal chief was q
perfect skull of a fOurteenryear,old
native who had been devoured by this
particular tribe the week before the
Rev. Mr.. Denison arrived. In regard
to this grewsome souvenir, Mr.. Deni-
son said: AiJR
while making our way through the
tangled bush we came upon tiny vii
lage. Two women, dressed in girdles
of leaves, who were cooking cocoanuts
in trent Of their bamboo house, fed
at our approach. The chief of the
village then appeared, and after we
had presented him with some tobacco
he gave us this skull of a Byning boy
whom his tribe had captured and
eaten just few days previous. The
top had been cut from the skull in
order to take out the brains, which
are considered quite a delicacy among
the cannibals. The boy belonged to
the Bynings, probably the original in

eaten. / explained that the boy
would hinder me in travelling, and so
we passed from the village on our
way.
when we left this village the men
insisted upon accompanying us. The
chief, with a human bone on his
spear led the way with a feathered
retainer, assuming as naughty a step
as though he were leading the armies
of Rome. We followed next in line,
and behind us the brown-skinned
crowd, with their feathers, dancing,
shouting and shaking their spears. 1t
was the most fantastic procession l
ever Joined.
They saluted every native we met
day, and we have grown well and
strong thereby This was encourag

modern business and modern trade re-
quire a wholly different ideal to be set
before the new century; that our per-
Sonal duty is to conquer any weaker
people whose territory we cOvet, and
to subject them TO such government as
in our opinion will best promote our
profit and their welfare.
There is still another ethical ideal
which may soon prove to be of very
great commercial value in American
politics-the ideal of the citizen, wheth-
er in or out of office. exhibiting moral
courage in dealing with important pub
lie questions.
1t is somewhat trying to the patience
of the most patient to listen TO the
noisy and senseless rhetoric which

age which all men of the fighting races
and many brutes possess.
The truth is that physical courage
has always been the most common
place of virtues. and could always be
bought at very cheap price.
Just the contrary is true of moral
courage. It is among the rarest of
virtues. and it's services are of far
greater value in the democratic ages
than ever before.
It is perhaps inevitable. but 1t is
none the less to be regretted. that a
distinct lowering of moral standards
should follow a state of war. inducing

for the last three years. all serious
moral and domestic questions will
somehow settle themselves.
Such a delusion is equally childish
and cowardly. and it is only necessary
to glance at sucn questions to discover
that instead of settling themselves they
are daily growing in gravity.
As one example. take our attitude
toward the corrupt use of money in
our elections and in our representative
bodies. Even the duliest intelligence
must see that if we continue to de-
stroy. as for some time past we have
been destroying, the belief of the ma
jcrity of our fellow citizens thseS cleo
tions are honestly conducted and laws
are honestly made. we are destroying
the best possible basis for the security
of private property; for there can be
no reverence for law where laws and
lawmakers are bought with money.
and I fear we are rapidly destroying
the possibility of such reverence in the
minds of the masses of our country
men.
I may be needlessly concerned about
the matter, but I confess, in spite of
nv ardent Americanism and my con-
fidence in the law-abiding spirit Of my
countrymen. I am disturbed when see
what I regard as one of the best pro-
tections of the future thus openly un-
dermined and destroyed. while the
moral cowardice of those of US who
do not ourselves corrupt anybody pre-
vents our uttering a word Of protest
against il.
Upon the ground Of eXpediency alone,
regarding it only as an element in our
commercial expansion. in our growth of
trade in our increase Of wealth. in the
prosperity of our stock exchanges
even from this standpoint. it is assur-
eddy great practical folly to destroy the
ethical ideal of law, as we are striving
so earnestly to do.
There is another very grave problem
which we are also refusing to consider.

Of law is also being destroyed

The Ideal in Politics.

To break down party organizations
would carry US back to political chaos,
and if we are to gain the ideal in the
system we must build. not destroy.
Assuming that the general principle
of party division is not only correct.
but enduring, we have an established
basis UPON which to work toward ideal
conditions. The old adage that TIE best
government is that which governs the
least does not accurately apply %
