Our False Perspective.
To the Editor of The Journal,


While what you say in your editorial,
Learning the Bible" suggested by Su-
perintendent Jordan's claim that our
young people are ignorant of the scrip
lures, is no doubt true, T think there are
other reasons, even more potent. One is
the widespread tendency of the past quar-
ter century to look down upon the past
The prevalent scientific method evolu-
ton, while probably correct, begets a
habit of magnifying the present and i'm
mediate prospective achievements of our
race. We overlook even the debt we owe
the past, as tho we do not stand on the
shoulders of all that has gone before, and
that no link in the long chain of growth
from simpler forms can be sighted with
impunity.
We are in the atmosphere of novelty
and breakneck change. We find it every
where, in city and country, in modes of
living. commerce, amusements and what
you like. Think of eighteen hours be-
ween Chicago and New York just accom-
plished and established, too; the dizzy
auto that makes city and country life a
matter of literally taking your life in your
hand when you venture out
Even in our so-called higher institutions
Of learning, the boys and girls returning
to their homes in the country are more OF
less ashamed Of the simplicity and guile
less ways Of their antiquated parents
whose self-denial often has made it pos.
sible for the smart set to be where they
are. To laud the present and Sneer at the
past seems the order Of the day. In such
a state Of affairs as this, what wonder
that immature minds should catch thu
bias and look upon things with, a false
perspective? E. D. jackson.

Who's ''They," that Women Should sowq

Who's "They." that Women Should Bow?
To the Editor of The Journal
While the men are busy about politics
or business or autos, the women are, as
ever, discussing the propriety of this or
that movement or fashion or fad and de-
Gliding matters according to the consen-
sus Of the masses that whatever they
do or allow is legitimate and proper
have often wondered who this elusive
creature denominated they is, for it
seems a very powerful presence to the
feminine mind, and venture to write of
it as one. tho the form is plural. My
neighbor has pretty gown for the street,
well-made, well preserved. but not Of the
very latest mode What can be done
with it? Shall she venture to wear it as
it is? The matter is important to her.
What are they wearing? Close-ftting
skirts about the hips, wide and fiaring
at the bottom; her gown is all these.
So it is admitted that the gown is good
for another seasons wear, matter of
several dollars saving in expense.
Some years ago, in one of the newer
northwestern states the women in the
country districts were accustomed to
consult the fashion magazines with much
avidity and in the rare trips to the
railroad town the local mflliner and
dressmaker was eagerly consulted as to
the minutiae of. feminine gear. One
young woman. very tall and strongly
built, and with an unfortunately muddy
complexion, had new gown made in
| what she conceived to be the very latest
fashion. and she was considerably elated
over the acquisition. was an intimate
friend of the family and took occasion
to suggest some slight changes and adj
ditions to the new costume; bit Of

The Los Angeles Saloon Issue.
To %ha Edf{or nf The

Your editorial in relation to Los AM
geles' saloon fight is misleading. 1t was
not a prohibition test. The prohibtionists
did not favor the ordinance as proposed.
The Anti-Saloon league made the fight
and the fight was to close the licensed
saloons and let the restaurants, drug
stores. hotels and breweries continue in
the liquor business. Every place that
could furnish a sandwich and cup OF
coffee would take out restaurant
license The law also allowed the whole
saler to sell in quantities of one-fifth
of gallon and upwards.
The cause of defeat was simply good
sensible men could not see any benefit
in closing the saloon and leaving hum
dreds of other places to continue the
liquor traffic.
There was no test of prohibition. II
an ordinance had been voted on to clean
out the whole traffic it would have car
ried without any doubt M. H. kif,

The Efficient Sunday School.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Permit me to express my gratitude to
T h e ] urn | for the splendid aid it
is extending to pulpit and church on all
moral issues. Your editorial yesterday on
the management of the Sunday school
was capital. The point of discipline,
esprit de corps, is the point of difficulty.
When we can have the same order and
discipline in the Sunday school that OBJ
tains in the public school we can do as
good work. and not till then. All that is
needed is intelligent sympathetic cooper
alton on the part of parents. AS to mem
orizing of scripture. there is healthy
Improvement in this respect. Only one
thing hinders this movement, the lack of
a pedagogical method. This will come
just as fast as we can bring our lesson
courses up to the pedagogical standards
of the day. -G. S. Rollins.

Breathing Places for the Public.

To the Editor Of The Journal. @ - +. I.
I am glad to find that there are good
prospects for an East Side park. Mime
apolis is growing very rapidly and every
year the congestion in the city proper
becomes greater and greater, and 1t, is to
be hoped that the citizens will more and
more urge that these breathing places be
supplied in the crowded sections of the

There are two or three sections which
in my opinion greatly need these small
parks. One is near the new courthouse
and the others are on Washington avenue.
north and south. wish that the land IN
those neighborhoods might be obtained for
park purposes. for as time advances so
in proportion will the price of such lands
advance.

In favor of more parks in the congested

the city Of Minneapolis will continue to
see that it's inhabitants are supplied with
these necessary brea thing places.

Serious stabbing ARRAY in Western

MIssOULA, MONT. was a
serious cutting ARRAY at Trout creek in
western Missoula county at an early
hour this morning as the result Of
which Brownson Barber Of that place
is in a precarious condition with a
deep knife wound in his side, inflicted
by Frank E. Rose, an Italian. The
men were in saloon when some mis-
understanding arose. Rose pulled a

into the body Of BrcWnson, almost pen
etrating the kidneys.

there will be no attempt by the resi-
dents Of Rattlesnake district to inter
fere with the course Of the law. Bur-

To the Editor of The Journal.
Speaking of John Butler Burke's ex-
pertinent with radium and sterilized
bouillon, your New York Suns special
service dispatch says: He has almost

generation is possible" On the contrary.
he has done just what Professor John
Tyndall did by his experiment with vege-
table decoctions, namely: that spontan-
eous generation is impossible; that nc
animal or vegetable life can be without a
specific combine is made. There is nc
difference, only in kind, between John

John Tyndall's of sterilized vegetable de-
coctions and erm-impregnated air. Ir
both cases the results Of the experiments
were compelled, hence not spontaneous.

there are numbers Of bright-eyed happy
