Russia, where there is the keenest
interest in everything affecting the
destinies of the Servian people. All

only awaken in Russia a feeling of

stance is increased by the fact that
the king and queen of friendly

A Muncie, Ind, Methodist minister
has declared warfare against dancing,
card playing and other kindred amuse-
ments, says an exchange. In 4 recent
address he declared the dance was the
straight road to ruination and hell, and
that card playing was little behind.
He said that no one could be a good
member of the church and at the same
time dance and play cards. He also
paid his respect to women wearing
low-necked and short-sleeved dresses,
even when lace Jokes and sleeves are
used, and called such persons half
nude.
Hardly a Sunday passes but some
clergyman devotes his sermon to dis
cussion much like the above. The in
tentions are evidently excellent, but
we seriously doubt if the good results
are noticeable. Dancing and card
playing are right or wrong according
to the Temperament of the participants.
Many young people have been started
on the road to ruin by each of these
amusements, and yet to thousands of
others dancing has been but an enjoy
able pastime and games of cards have
provided pleasant way of passing an
evening. Both diversions will continue
to be enjoyed in the future as they
have in the past

In commenting upon the increase in
lynchings and other brutal forms of
lawlessness now almost epidemic in
this country Prof. James of Harvard
ascribes it to the same cause that
thoughtful people everywhere recognize
as portentous fount of evil, material
ism. The prevalent materialism of
the day, with its rank seltshness, its
s;orn of duty and of public spirit, its
Vaccinations to subvert the law, or 10
override it, for personal advantage, is
another phase of the same tendency,
not so bloody in it's aspect as iyichipg,
but conspiring with it to destroy conf
dence in the state as the protector of
the week and the unfortunate. We
have not been able to look at the phe-
nomcna of our present life in this
country without dread of what may be
in store for the future.

making the sheriff from whose custody
a prisoner is taken, lose his position

damages of from ST. 500 to S., 500 to be

1t is fact, as the Baltimore Sun
says, that the great reason why the
people desire the popular election of
senators is that the United State SEN
ate Is no longer amenable to public
sentiment. The senators represent
politicians rather than the people.
They are thus made independent of the
people and find it perfectly safe to de-
ty the public will. There is another
objection to the present method,
and that is the senatorial elections
interfere with the legitimate work of
the legislatures, consuming time which
should belong to law making. 1t also
has a bad effect upon the personnel of
legislatures. Men are elected to the
general assembly frequently with re-
gard only to their vote for senator and
