SEEN AND HEARD IN MANY
PLACES.

Terrible tales were told not long
ago about public and private wicked
ness in St. Louis, and it is not gener-
ally known that the condition of the
city as there revealed by the. maya
zines and newspapers-with some in
cidental help from various Missouri
courts-has since changed vastly for
the better. Such, however. is the
case and now St. Louis and her peo-
pie. both black and white. are so ex-
tremely good that the difference be-
tween perfection and the state to
which they have attained is almost
too small to measure. We make this
statement confidently, not because we
have received any direct information
to that effect, but because we notice
that an association, composed of
eighteen st. Louis clergymen said to
be *'the best known ministers in
town." have been moved to- make a
united attack upon the at homes
which several we'll known families
are accustomed to hold at thei:
homes on Sunday evening. Now, Of
course, if ST. Louis were not in a
state of almost excessive sanctifca-
ton, if it's officials were not all disin-
terested patriots and. its citizens not

free from stable faults and vices, this
would have something else to do be-
fore they tackled the Sunday even
ing receptions. Mind we are not de-
Tending their choice of a night for
these functions. Whatever opinion
we may have on that question, unless
it happens to coincide with that of the
St. Louis ministers, is probably worth
less than theirs, except for our own
private uses, but admitting for the
sake OF argument, that Sunday even
ing receptions are in some degree
reprehensible, obviously they are not
as reprehensible as any one OF a doz-
en- or more transgressiOns against
law and morals that were until re-
Gently, according to common report,
the commonplaces of st. Louis life;
and naturally if all those graver sins
had not been abolished the ministers
would now be fighting those long de-
partures frmo rectitude, and not a
short one The lat homes" are de-
scribed as OF the simplest character
mere gatherings of friends for quiet
conversation. with no other means OF
entertainment provided Fortunate
indeed is the city where the expert
moralist can find nothing worse than
this to war against, and more FORUM
ate the clergy that can win public at
tenton for a movement for RENE
dying evil from which the public
suffering and loss are as small as
from this one. They have the miler-
ium in plain sight. AS I write l re-
member that my morning paper
chronicled the fact that a band Oh
Philadelphia ministers marched in
body to the city hall to protest against
the selling of the gas works to lot OF
boodlers. and to ask the mayor to
veto the work of the city council.
Truly our ministers are a progressive
lot, and the next procession OF the
gentlemen of the cloth will no doubt
be headed by brass band.

Mayor Dunno wrote himself down
as a firm foe of the color line, and
declared that so long as he was may

barred from the service OF the city

This came in response to complaints

recognize Afro-Americans who ap-
piled for work as special deputy sher-

when his attention was called to the

Among the papers read to-day was one
by James Y. Barry. Of Lansing, Mich,
insurance commissioner Of the State OF
Michigan. on "Life Insurance Ethics,
Mr. Barry said in part:
During the past few months we hnvo
seen one Of the great life insurance
companies of the country passing through
an ordeal which would have staggered,
IL not actually wrecked, the Bank OF

the very air 1t breathed, while dishonesty
and graft have been cancerous growths
feeding upon us VllalS.. fia@t
The Great Cure.
Notwithstanding these facts, publlc-
ity, that great cure for the evils OF
life Insurance, Is doing its perfect work
SO well that In my Judgment this COM
pany Is to-day as well If not better
equipped than ever 9hefore to fulfill It's
mission and accomplish the great work
for which 1t was. created. ST
