WHAT AMERICA NEEDS.

What America needs more than
railway extension, and western irriga-
ton, and a low tariff, and a bigger
wheat crop, and a merchant marine,
and a new navy, is revival of piety,
the kind mother ald fat1er used to
have-piety that counted it good bust
ness to stop for daily family prayers
before breakfast, right in the middle
of the harvest; that quit work nalf
hour earlier Thursday night SO as to
get the chores done and go to prayer
meeting; that borrowed money to pay
tne preachers salary and prayed ter
vently in secret for the salvation of
the rich man who looked with scorn
GA sucn unbusiness-like behavior,
That's what we need now to clean this
country of the filth of great, and OF
greed, petty and big; of worship OF
fine houses and big lands anrhigh of
fee and grand social functions, WHAT
is this thing which we are worshippi1g
but a vain repetition of what decayed
nations fell down and worsniped just
before their light went out? Read the
history of Rome in decay and you'll
find luxury there that could lay big
dollar over our little doughnut that
looks so large to us. Great wealth
never made a nation substantial nor
honorable. There is nothing on earth
that looks good that is so dangerous
for a man or a nation to handle a;
quick, easy, big money. If you do re
sist its deadly influence the chances
are that it will get your son. 1t takes
greater and finer heroism to dare to
be poor in America than to charge an
earthquake in Manchuria. -, Wal

AS TO DANCING.

Editor Herald:-We desire to state
officially and personally, that we re
greet the latter part of the Junior-Sen.
ior reception of the o. H. S. hell at
the Armory Hall last evening. We
are not now criticising those WAC have
and do indulge in dancing on other oc'
casions. We do believe, however,
that when, on such an occasion as the
one above referred to, there are many
present who are unwilling to consent
to such amusement as prope.. it should
not take place.
= Parents and young people who have
conscientious scruples agaia-t dancing
afdpentitled to respectful consideration
and our thought is that on such occa.
sions only those forms of amusement
should be offered in which all can join
without hesitation.
We make this statement that the
patrons of our schools may know our
position in the matte.

THE CASE OF PAUL BETTIx.

1t will be recalled that Prof Paul
Bettix recently quit mis- position in
Central Holiness university. and after
branding himself on the forehead vita
a cross made by red hot iron, he de-
parted for Kansas, there to organize
band of enthusiasts who would evan
gelize the world at one fell swoop.
The, Reader magazine has taken up
his case and discussing it editorially,
says:
"A man in Oskaloosa, Ia, has been
suspected Of insanity because he has
called for a band of apostles to evan
gelize the race, because ne had brand
ed himself with the cross, ana be-
cause he pronounces himself ready to
make the uttermost sacrifice for the
sake of his religion. His former as.
sociates say, that, notwithstanding
this attitude of aggressive Christian
ity, he was regarded by them, up to
this time, as a perfectly sane man.
1t was thought necessary, also, to bear
witness to the Iact that his reputa-
ton has been of the best'-and this
notwithstanding his desire to put aim
self of record as a militant apostle.
This is humorous indeed! King Ed
ward is much tattooed, but he is not
adjudged insane. Why should one
VINO brands himself with the cross be
considered any less sane tnan one
who is tattooei with anchors, harps
and hearts? Were a man to organize
company for money-making, or for
any interested purpose, he would be
commended for his enterprise. But
the disinterested organization calls
forth suspicious of insanity.
Although the alienists appear to
think that insanity is a thing definite.
| ly to be defined and easily to be de
tected, the lay mind derives 10 little
amusement from those eccent-icities
and Municipalities which arrest the
dissatisfied comment of the public.
For example, the writer Is acquainted
with woman who is regarded by all
her neighbors as insane. Careful in

woman wears her hair, which Is nat.
urally curly, hanging in ringlets down

her mother, and she wished above all
