would be safe. To attract these is.
of course, one of the chief tasks of the
preacher of creeds.
But he can do this better by preach
ing his creed than by preaching against
somebody else's cult. To hold even
the weak-minded for any length of
time there must be offered to them
something that resembles fair re-
turn for the devotion they give The
reason that the cults of yesterday are
not remembered today is that they
have nothing substantial to offer in re-
turn The victims are attracted by a
personality which holds them for
space of time proportioned to the
strength of the personality. When it
adopt some other cult. No cult is per-
manent, therefore, but so long as there
are people who will follow them there
will be cults.
Until every child is born into the
world with a sound mind in sound

continue to be predisposed toward
fanaticism. Ministers can do more 10
kill the cults by impressing upon their
congregations the necessity of observ-
ing the principles of right living than
by merely denouncing- the cults from
the pulpits. For while the cause for
the fiourishing of these must be sought
In psychology it is quite within the
province of the preacher to trace this
cause for the benefit of the members
of his congregation.

sTIFFENINe THE RuseERNEcks

The trainmen and station employees
of the Manhattan Elevated railroad
have been ordered not to rubber. 1t
may be explained for the benefit Of the
benighted ones to whom the word rub
Der carries no other meaning than as
describing the product of the rubber
tree-a gum much valued in the COM
mercial world-that to the dwelIers in
the valley beneath Parnassus to rub
Der means to gaze, to look at stead
fastly, even to ogle. Wherefore it may
be seen that the order is calculated to
cause the guards and the ticket chop
pers to refrain from allowing their
eyes to dwell upon the summer girl.
That the order involves a hardship is
not going to be disputed by any man
to whom it has been given to look at
the summer girl. That it should be en-
forced in the case where it has been
promulgated is not to be doubted; that
it should be ordered by all municipal
transportation companies is certain.
For the greatest nuisance to which
womankind is subject is the ogIing con-
ductor, whether he be doing business
on an elevated or surface road. 1t
is possible for sensitive woman to
escape the offensive glare of the man
on the walk who rubbers. She can
move away from him. But she is pow
erless to escape the unwelcome gaze
of the ogling conductor or guard.
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Low
rvs young men do not offend much in
this direction. The rules under which
they work require so much consider
alton to be given to the pursuit of the
nimble nickel that time is not permit
ted to weigh heavily on their hands
1t may be that there arevother reasons
for their abstention from the practice
which has made the PRONUNCIATION of
this order necessary on the island Of
Manhattan But whatever the reason
certain it is that the Minnesota sum-
mer girl is quite worth looking
at. But one may look at girl to
admire without rubbernecking. There
is an offensive Implication in. the very
term. Let us hope that the order pro-
mulgated by the Manhattan company
may presently be made to apply to all
he-things so that by and by men will
be relieved Of the necessity for re-
proving with the club that is justified,
the exercise of that souvenir of mans
monkey ancestor which survives in the
prehensile neck.

Trocadero Burlesquers at the Star

Wink and Mack. the European COM
edy acrobats, are decidedly the top lin
ers of the Trocadero Burlesquers, which
returned to the Star last night after
an absence of several months, and the
two clever little acrobats were given
the applause they deserved. They
have several new stunts which were
well received, and their old ones. all
though seen here several times before,
were also literally applauded
The Burlesquers. as a whole, are a
well balanced company, the manage
ment having devoted much attention
TO detail, a quality often lacking in
shows of a similar class. Joe Morris,
the Hebrew impersonator, is as clever
as ever, and the Grahams were kindly
received in their Illustrated songs
The show opens with musical skit,
entitled "A Misfit Family" in which
there is much clever work Another
musical sketch, "Hiawatha,' closes an
entertainment that would be Just as
much appreciated if the work of the
male quartette were eliminated alto
gether. There is a surplus of horse
play in the quartettes work that is

CULTS AND cREEps

The Chicago minister who has issued
a call to the churches, asking them to
join hands for the purpose of fighting
the strange cults with which the
Windy City seems to be cursed, is
moved, undoubtedly, by the best OF
intentions, but he does not show him
self to be particularly farsighted.
Cults, like creeds, are strengthened by
opposition. To continually denounce
a cult or the leader of a cult from
the pulpit would have the effect mere
ly of calling general attention to both,
and while such denunciation might
keep many from adopting the cult or
following the leader, the notoriety
would be profitable to both in the
end.
In every city, no matter what the
size and no matter how high the aver
age Of intelligence happens to be,
there is always to be found a large
number of people who have no church
affiliations and whose philosophy of
life is not sound enough to prevent
their foclzing about any false god that
happens to be set up by somebody who
understands the gullibility>of this class.
1t (the class) provides the victims for
the deviser of the cult and il he is

LOUDER THAN WORDS


Both parties are apt to be prodigal
with more or less unnecessary protes-
tations of love for political reform.
Each is anxious to fix upon the other
the parentage of scandalous abuses
and corruption. This has become so
far feature of party tactics as to be
discounted. But here, as elsewhere, ac-
tions speak louder than words. He is
the reformer who actually reforms.
That party is the friend of reform who
honors the reformer and puts the foe of
corruption in its own high place.
The now assured nomination of Jo-
seph w. Folk for governor of Missouri
is the complete dedication of the DEM
ocratic party to that noble work. 1t
has been a straight, clean-cut fight.
Missouri has been the theater for some
of the most corrupt political maneu-
Tering in this country. The Democrats
in the state and the Republicans in
the city of st. Louis have passed the
bounds of shame AS has been made
clear by recent revelations concerning
boodling in Missouri it ceased to be a
party affair altogether and became
merely system of organized graft, in
which the venal of both parties par
ticipated freely and shamelessIy.
There was nothing much lower than
Missouri politics outside of Pennsyl-
Nania.
Into the midst of this revel of cor
ruption stepped one able, upright, sin
cere, clean hearted and fearless man.
Joseph w. Folk has been the ST. George
who assailed this loathsome dragon.
Remorselessly he has hunted down one
boodler after another. He has spared
no individual and no party. He has
sent influential men to the penitentiary.
and nothing stayed his arm when gov
ernments and courts themselves stood
IN his path. He has won the enmity
of every scoundrel not only in Mis-
Souri,, but in the country; and is recog-
rized today as the foremost and most
dangerous foe of the CRATER, and the
most competent practical reformer of
his time
This is the man whom the Democrats
of Missouri, abused as they have been
at home and abroad, will make their
candidate, for governor Although
he hunted down the rascals Of his own
party as relentlessly as he pursued Re
publicans, although he has thus antag-
onized the machine, although his de-
feat became indispensable to the con-
tinuance of boodling and to the safety
OF thousands of lawbreakers, he could
not be beaten. His nomination win he
the vindication of Democracy and the
triumph of American honesty.
We take immense pride in party
that-is capable of this thing. Were the
Republicans able to show us a Folk in
their ranks, he would not be in danger
of receiving party tonors from them
How did the Republican majority in
congress receive the report of Messrs
Conrad and Bonaparte on postal and
other scandals? Is either of those gem
tlemen in danger of having Office
thrust upon him? Can any one name
the Republican in any state who is de-
voted to reform in fact, as distin-
guished from reform in profession, who
is also threatened with office, or who
could obtain the Republican nomina-
tion in any conceivable contingency?

and the fidelity of the great traditions

"James Boys in Missouri at the Grand

Under the above title a melodrama
exploiting the thrilling experiences of
intrepid highwaymen, who hold hu-
man lives "at a pins fee was present
ed at the Grand opera house last night.
Enthusiastic admiration of the James
boys is not conspicuous in Minnesota,
which had a sufficient taste of their
quality generation ago, but perhaps
that is purely a matter of moral pref
udice not to be considered in an esti-
mate of the dramatic worth of the play
and the players.
Viewed therefore through spectacIes
that discern nothing but dramatic art
or its absence, James Boys in Mis-
souri," is a melodrama with as much
claim to distinction as most of it's
predecessors, and far more license to
live than some of the impossible crea-
tions inflicted upon us in the recent
past.
The scenery is graphic and OCCASION
ally highly realistic. 1t reaches it's
climax in the third act, when the ban
dts hold up a passenger train in the
famous Blue Cut, shoot the protesting
passengers and blow up the United
States Express cOmpany'S strong box.
The smell of powder pervades the the
ater as the curtain falls upon this
thrilling episode, and doubtless inten-
sites the enthusiastic cheers that greet
the glorious achievement.
1t is only fair to the author to record
the fact that he assumes the James
boys to be innocent of the felonieS
charged against them, which explains
the pardon that arrives too late to
save Jesse James from death at the
hands of Bob Ford.
Neil Florence made a strenuous and
possible Jesse, and E. M. Crane was
adequate to the role of Frank James.
Ed M. KimbalI, in the character of
Liga Punkin, the faithful colored man,
was immensely popular and deserved
ly so. F. G. H.
