Chorus and Choir.
From the New York Times.


The objections raised in one Of the
Methodist Episcopal churches to the pres
ence in it's volunteer choir of a good
singer because she is also a member OF
a comic opera chorus is based on neither
artistic nor purely religious grounds, but
on a blind prejudice that survives mod
ern enlightenment. Even if the stage
were a gateway to perdition. there seems
to be no reason why one of it's followers
should not be permitted to seek saliva
ton by singing in a church. The hymns

La Follette's Tariff Plan.
the st. Louis Republic.

From The st. Louis Republic.
The trouble with the tariff bill which
Senator La Toilette has introduced is that

to the President and the nine members
of the proposed tariff commission. A
body of ten men having the power to de-
eide in what industries there might exist
monopoly controlling the entire output
of its product and arbitrarily to abolish
the tariff on such product would exercise
control over industry in this country
that might often be unwisely used. and
would certainly be standing temptation
to improper or corrupt coercion, for po-
litical or other purposes

Charles Edgar Littlefield.
From the New York Sun.

victions He doesn't borrow them He
won't give them up for anybodys threats
or cajolery. He won't sell them for votes.

Comparatively speaking only a
few years ago. people were COM
PEELED to spend a week or a month
on the road to travel hundred or
so miles. Great hardships attend
ed these Journeys; the nights had to
be spent In the open because the
country was not settled thickly
enough to allow travellers the luxury
to sleep in a bed under a roof. Vari-
Gus inventions. such as the locomo-
tive. the parlor and sleeping cars
make It a luxury to travel today.
Work OF all kinds has been made
easier for everyone. All are aware
OF this. Yet, housekeepers drudge
along with their work in the old
way, when they could, by merely us
