The Viewpoint of Age as to Dancing.

The recent action of the Methodist national conference at Los Angeles in declining to modify the rules which pro- hibit dancing and card playing and go ing to the theater has not pleased all the members of the church. One cor respondent who asserts that he is a good Methodist, writes:
 "I guess the ages of those in the conference would average 50 years. don't believe men who are 50 years old are fit to make rules as to amusements for persons who are 20 years of age. I would not be afraid to wager nickel that half of those preachers who are now opposed to dancing were goo1 dancers at 20 years of age. But some may say they are now older and have experience and know it is wrong. That is not the case at all. They don want to dance now: at 20 they did.
 When I was young I liked to dance, and I look back to my dancing days with want to dance. Dancing had not change had come We are constantly we SION Olu anu lose interest in life and are willing to die. When Bismarck was old he said I am not sick, but l have lost the love of life and am ready to die
 Those fellows who were in the con- ference think they are pious and want to lay down rules that their members shall not go to theaters pr dance. They know as we'll as they know they live it won't amount to anything. The kids will dance right along. and these same fellows dare not say a word. It is not quite so bad here as in tIe east. mo- ticed not long ago the superintendent of my old M. F.. Sunday school allow ed the young people to have dancing party at his house. He is a first class Methodist and a good man. Forty years ago they would all have been put out of church.
 After all, however. there is no occa- sion for anything but good humor. The elders have their rules and the young people have their dancing. and every body should be satisfied.

An Opening for Mir. Hearst.

MT. Hearst is in cold sweat because of the possibility that Chinamen may be employed in digging the Panama canal. and his papers are taking on ter ribly about it. With affrighted coun- tenance and protruding optics MT. Hearst looks upon this Panama China man business as another invasion of the rights of the common people" Says Mir. Hearst's several Examiners:
 Admiral Walker. president of the Panama Canal commission, is quoted as saying that Chinese coolies would be secured to dig the great ditch. It is to be hoped that the admiral was not understood correctly. The employ ment of Mongolian labor in the great work would be a mistake and a misfor- tune. The Panama canal is an American enterprise, and it should be kept so. To cover the isthmus with the degraded coolies would be breach of principle that would benefit only the contractors"
 If MT. Hearst knows of any Ameri- cans who wish to be hired to dig in the big ditch. he should lose no time in communicating with the canal com mission. MT. Hearsts pull will be suf- ficient to obtain employment for each of his friends. But nobody else has heard of any resident of the United States who wishes to go to Panama and wield a shovel or hold a wheel barrow. The most serious problem, in fact. which faces the commission and any contractors engaged on the canal, is to find men willing to do the manual labor. Americans there are in plenty who wish to be bosses, time- keepers, clerks and what not, and doubtless the applicants for various petty concessions in the line of board ing houses, saloons and so forth would number a good sized army. But for laborers on the canal itself recourse must be had to the negroes of Jama- cai, and other West Indian islands or to coolies from China.
 If MT. Hearst is looking for employ ment for himself as the chief represen- tative of the common people" no doubt he can be accommodated, not withstanding the probability that many

protecting American Citizens.

The administration has acted with entire propriety in sending warships to Tangier in furtherance of the efforts to release Mir Perdicaris, the American citizen now held by brigands But as pointed out in these columns yester- day, the fleet can do nothing beyond exerting a pressure on the sultan of Morocco, who already appears anxious to do all he can to secure the release of Perdicaris One of the eastern papers had dispatch from Washington last week to the effect that Mir. Roosevelt contemplated sending squadron of cavalry to Morocco to effect the release of the captive and to punish the brigands in the event that all othe= measures failed, but it may be taken for granted that such a step will be taken only as a last resort. And it Is not worth while to mince words in saying that the people of this country would look with more favor upon the suggested land expedition if Per deearis were native of this country and If he were named Jones, or Smith. or Thompson, or Mccarthy.
 However, the fact that Perdicaris is a nataralized citizen does not alter the fact that he is a citizen in the fullest sense in the eyes of the law, and is en- titled to every protection that the Unit ed States can afford him in any quar- ter of the earth where he chooses to dwell. And as q matter of fact his case IS different from the cases of many citizens of Europe who become Amer lean citizens by the naturalization pro- in their native land and to get the pro- teetion of the Stars and Stripes after they return to the neighborhood of their birth. Perdicaris lived a long time in New Jersey and New York, and ls a man of good habits and culture. He removed to Tangier several years ago and became a permanent resident there.
 In proposing to protect Americn citi- zens wherever they may be. the admin istration is in harmony with public sentiment. Only a few years ago it was constant complaint that an American abroad received scant court esy, and even the people of the petit est nations had no hesitation in ridi- culing American citizenship. It was frequently necessary for Americans in trouble to appeal to the British consul or the British minister for relief, no attention being paid to the protests of our own officials. But William Mo Kfnley and John Hay changed all that. and Mir. Roosevelt is doing well to fol- low the Mckinley policy. An Ameri- lean citizen is now respected in all parts of the earth, and the American flag affords actual protection. In the few barbarous lands where the, natives still have to learn that an Ameri- can cannot be outraged with impu- nity, the policy is to teach some severe lessons, and in carrying out this policy Mir. Roosevelt and Secretary Hay will have the cordial support of all good citizens of the United States.

THE FIGHT IN WISCONSIN.

Ex-Speaker J. Warren Keller, of Ohio, has been looking over the re- publican situation in Wisconsin. and shakes his head dubiously. He says that they have terrific fights" within the party in Ohio, but usually get to- gether by election and vote the straight ticket. But in Wisconsin the contest is not over men and offices. It concerns policies of government of the deepest moment. and resembles such a division on class lines as marked the presiden- tial election of 1896. Indeed, Governor La Toilette is often referred to es the republican Bryan.

The popular belief that Feasel had gone
