TIE eIRl ANp rHE DANCE HAIL

A local clergyman preached a SER
mon Sunday in. which he called the at
tention of his congregation to the
menace, of the dance hall and besoaght
the members to raise their voices in
protest against it in order that young
girls might be saved from its debauch-
ing influence All right minded people
will echo the plea he made, yet the
real problem of the city is not how
to do away with the dance halls, but
what to substitute for them. For the
girls who attend public dances go in
search of amusement. The homes they
leave, probably have nothing to offer
in that line. On the contrary, it is
very likely that they represent such
conditions that the girls are very glad
indeed, to leave them for such a1nuse-
ment as they may find in the hall OF. on
the street And to obtain enjoyment
for some part of the day, at least, is
the divine right of youth.
For the girl who is self-respectings
and ambitious, no matter how ignorant
she may be, there are many helping

EPlSCOPALS FINISH
They Legislate for Benefit of
Minnesota Swedes

BOSTON, Oct. rs. = The triennial
general convention Of the Episcopal
church, which has been in session here
since Oct. s., ended today with a public
service in Trinityechurch.
From the pulpit Bishop Henry C.
Potter. of New York, read a pastoral
letter addressed to the church at large.
The communication considered the
problems now before the country Re-
garding divorce, the pastoral said that
the facility with which the marriage
relation may be taken on and put off is
one of the menaces of American civfli-
cation, to the possible perils of which
Christian people are as yet very i'm
perfectly aroused The letter made a
plea for the permanence and security
of the family. It also discussed the
negro problem, stating that the church
was taking steps to correct the situa-
ton as far as possible. Other pressing
questions were dealt with.
Little business of Importance was
transacted at the final business ses-
sions. A resolution permitting foreign
congregations now in communion with
the church to use forms of service in
their own tongue was adopted. This
legislation was enacted specifically for
the benefit of Swedish congregations in
Minnesota.

is well into her teens. and she is apt
to regard with suspicion any overtures
that are made to her by women whose
mission is avowedly a charitable one.
In pairs or in groups the girls of this
class sally forth at night, after their
work is over, in quest of amusement.
They have no evil intent, but they are
young and determined to enjoy life and
not too particular in their choice of
the companions they pick up. 1t is
they who fall easy victims to the
temptation they meet in dance halls.
But if the dance halls were closed, they
would still have that thirst for excite
ment and pleasure and they would still
meet creatures whose object it is TO
take advantage of that thirst
There is an excellent opportunity for
those churches that are situated in
parts of the city where these young
girls live to do some missionary work
along this line. 1t would be foolish to
begin by urging those girls to attend
church, of course. But if there We're
well equipped gymnasium in the
basement of the church where girls
could come and exercise and work off
some of their animal spirits, and if the
we'll to do members of the congrega-
ton were impressed with the inpor-
lance of reaching just this kind of girl,
the dance hall would not flourish. So
cial settlements offer social induce
ments to those whom they would as
sist. 1t is through an appeal to her
social side alone that the girl can be
saved from the dance hall, and the
church should join hands with the set

the test of trial the two systems work
out to about the same result. 1t is the
public sentiment of a community that

Grand juries and prosecuting attor-
neys alike will respect public opinion,
and will work out just that measure
and that kind of justice which the COM
munity that they represent demands
and will approve. 1t is far less I'M.
portant, to our mind, to have this
measure either adopted or defeated
than it is to have all intelligent voters
recognize the absolutely commanding
influence of public opinion and the fu-
tility of relying upon mechanical
changes in the law or the administra-
ton of it to do what can be done only

EARNINGS OF STEEL
TRUST DECREASE
But the Regular Quarterly Dividend on
Preferred Is Declared

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The directors
of the United States Steel corporation
today declared the regular quarterly
dividend of LIZ per cent on the pre-
ferred stock, payable Nov. 80. The
financial statement for the quarter
ended Sept 80, shows net earnings,
after the usual deductions for repairs,
renewals, maintenance, fixed charges
and interest on bonds of SIS, 1882,
which is below conservative estimates.
A striking feature of the statement
is the item showing a surplus over
charges and dividends of only $1,312,-
98S, a decrease of $1,464,656, compared
with the previous quarters, and of $780,
998,707. compared with the correspond
ing quarter of 1903 Unified orders
on hand Sept. 80 amounted to 3,027,4
tons, a decrease of 730,361 over the
same period last year. AS an offset
of this, however, Chairman Gary stated
that the corporation had booked an
average of $4,000 tons of new orders
per day during the current month, an
increase of 30ss per cent over the bust
ness of last October.

AN EXCLAMATION REQUESTED

Some explanation IS certainly uue
from Mr.. Dunn or his friends of the
remarkable figures presented in a
news article this morning relative to
sales of state timber during his term
as auditor. The sale conducted Oct.
81, 1897, is memorable because OF the
impression conveyed that the prices
obtained were unexpectedly high and
that the state was making a good
thing. Almost every paper in the two
cities took up the subject in strain
of comment congratulatory to the
state. All these papers also published
the figures supposed to have been
given by the purchasers. These fig
ures, indeed, We're the whole basis of
the comment.
The prices as published in at least
three newspapers were uniform. 1t is
presumed that they obtained them
from competent authority. 1t is
practically inconceivable that, if they
made errors in the figures, they should
all have made exactly the same mis-
takes. Yet the books and records of
the auditors office show list of
prices altogether different. According
to them, the prices SO much vaunted
were not obtained In the six impor-
tant centres published the price was
reduced the reduction varying from
ten cents to dollar per thousand.
The discrepancy, to the disadvantage
of the state, foets up in these cases
over $4,000.
An explanation of this singular oc-
currence, which it is not impossible
may have been repeated at some other
time. is due to the public. The Ium-
Der company that made the purchases
was the gamer by the difference. The
public was thevloser. Was it an acct
denfg And if so, how did it happen?
1t does not seem likely that reports of
the transaction next morning in all the
| leading newspapers could have been
| overlooked. If, by some inexplicable
misunderstanding they were all wrong
and all based lengthy articles on an in-
correct statement of the prices bid, it
would be more than strange that Mr..
Dunn should have permitted the blum
der to stand unchallenged and uncor-
rected
The story is told in our news col
unns, and the reader must draw his
own differences. No explanation is OBJ
| tainable from the auditors office now.
1t is said simply that the entries in
the books and the accounts in the
newspapers of the time do not agree,
and no one can account for the differ
enee. But the public will require
something more than this. A state
ment from Mr.. Dunn or some one au-
I thorized to speak for him is certainly
necessary to throw light on this mys-

Contemporary Comment
Peace Cannot Come Too Soon

There is no reasoning with men in
this maniacal condition; but those
dwelling aloof and in peace owe a duty
TO civilization which cannot be per-
formed too soon. The Japanese are
stoics by temperament, but even states
men of that nation have been moved
by the horrible carnage to cry out that
the war must stop even if Japan,
though the victor thus far. should be
obliged to ask for cessation of hosth-
tiles. Russia has intimated through
her ambassador at Washington that an
offer of meditation from this govern
ment would receive no countenance.
But Russia might listen to an appeal if
made by a third party as the repre-
sentative of Japan. Would it not be
possible to satisfy this condition? If
the horror aroused in Japan by the
butchery before Mukden be as great as
has been represented, why would it not
be feasible to request the American
government, as the spokesman of Jap
an, to open negotiations with Russia
for peace?-Philadelphi Record.

The rejoicings of victory and the

universal protest against the further
sacrifice Of human life In the Russian
Japanese war. The appalling slaughter
of the seven days battle shocks and
horrifies the sensibiities of mankind.
Even in Japan the people and the gov
eminent seem to be overcome with a

aeter of the conflict. Reliable reports

THE GRAND JURY AMENDMENT

he GHAND JURY AMENDMENI
We caution the public and legal pro-
fessien against attaching too much i'm
portance to the, proposed constitutional
amendment to be voted on this fall
dispensing with indictments by grand
jury and substituting action on >infor-
nation by the county attorney. We
would not be understood by this as
opposing the proposition, but merely
as warning the public against their
constant disposition to confide in and
rely upon some change in the ma
chinery of government for the effecting
of reforms. They are always going to
be disappointed.
Once in a great while some mechan-
ical readjustment, like the adoption Of
the Australian ballot, does achieve a re-
form by enabling the people themselves
to do something which they were be-
fore unable to do on account of no.
toriously defective mechanism. AS a
rule, however, the substitution of one
method for another is a mere super
fetal change; accomplishing nothing
because it does not affect the DISPOSE
ton and action of the people them
selves, with whom at bottom every i'm
provement rests and by whom it must
be effected.
What we mean is just this. Under
the present system it is true as eharg-
ed, that local influences are sometimes
able to prevent indictments by grand
jury. Business relations, personal re-
Iations, sympathy for the accused and
other motives of this sort come into
play; and every man who has ever
served on a grand jury has been
grieved and alarmed by the refusal to
vote true bills in cases where the evil
dence was perfectly clear. The mis-
take is in charging this up to the grand
jury instead of to the grand jurists;
who represent public opinion in the
long run. and would not dare to do
what they do if they did not believe
themselves to represent public opinion
pretty fairly on the average.
Now exactly the same sort Of thing
can happen and does happen where the
grand jury system is abolished and
criminal prosecutions are in the hands
of a prosecuting attorney, who pro-
ceeds on information laid before him.
Since all prosecuting attorneys are
chosen by popular vote, the assumption
that such an official is less sensitive
to influence than the citizens eonstitut-
ing a grand jury provokes smile.
Any one who has lived in community
where this system obtains has come
across the fact that party influence,
gratitude for political favors past or
hoped for political favors to come, has
again and again Induced prosecuting
attorney to pigeonho4e eases brought
before him, to insist upon technical
ties, to proceed upon opinions uniform
ly and curiousIy found defective when
it came to the court trial. and in many
other ways to impede the course OF
justice in Individual cases exactly as a
grand jury fails to bring in a true bill
And with the prosecuting attorney, as
with the grand jury. it is public opin-
ion that counts. He can do this only
where he believes that public opinion
as a whole viii sustain or at least con-
done his act.
We are neither furiously in favor OF
nor furiously against the proposed
change. We think. rather. that under
