ETHICAL CHANGE
TAKING PLACE

SAN FRANCISCO, September IA
A sermon on the Signs of the Times"
was delivered yesterday morning at
the First Unitarian Church by Rev.
Bradford Leavitt in which he express
ed opinions from his own point OF
view. His comment was not wholly
without a gloomy tinge, and it did not
spare the professions of law physic
and divinity.
Among the signs Of the times, he
said, lis the new idea that it Is stupid
to be sick-that our good health lies
in our own hands more than in the
skill of doctors-that we dream We
live under a government of laws,
whereas we really live under gov
eminent of newspapers. There is the
problem of the unemployed-not those
uniformed in rags, but by the London
| tailors; and men are asking what can
we do with the idle rich-what risks
do they bring us and what hopes? We
want neither the idle rich nor the idle
poor land some way must be found for
all the people to share in the profits
of their common industry. There is
the great prohibition wave that has
spread over a great part OF our coun-
try, and China's decision to prohibit
the sale and use of opium.
"Other signs of the times are that
physicians are beginning to send
itemized bills instead of bills in q
lump sum; great lawyers are serving
their clients with the servility of but
lers, and where business men used Cu
go to the lawyer, the lawyer goes with
obsequious humility to the corporation
office.
Ministers take ordination VOWS &c
defend the Creeds of their church and
then never after refer to them. | don
know how they do it, but conscienti-
Gus men make statements of faith III
church which it would never occur &c
them to make on the street or in ordi-
nary conversation. We may be glad a
man has made progress in religion, but
better than progress is sincerity.
1.-The great sign of the times, how
ever, is that we are in a great ethical
and intellectual movement in Anne.
RIGA. There is a breach between the
church and most that is really vita
and triumphant in the intellectual anc
moral life of the time. The greater
number of clergy still keep up an atti-
tude of hostility about conclusion:
about the universe which in the uni
versities and every grammar schoo
are unbeatable commonplaces, II any
school should teach today the sort o
thing many ministers are preaching i
would be noted for it's lunaey. The
church must put in a good serviceabl'
line of goods if it is to embrace the in
tellectual leaders of the time"

had accepted the task of running
against Prince Kuhio and L. L. Me-

There are only twenty-five signers

Motley would not take any chances
that some fault might be found with
his men and put in ten extra. 1t is
noticeable that of the thirty-fve who
signed the petition twenty are from the
Fourth District and only fifteen from

as d. Kalauokalani, j. NJ Poepoe and

WADB CASH
ARGUMENT

The case of George Wade, the negro
who has been in Jail for number of
years on a charge of murder and who
is trying to get his release through
habeas corpus proceedings, will be ar
gued tomorrow morning before Judge
Dole. Attorney c. c. Biting, appear
ing for Wade, has put up hard fight
and so has Deputy Attorney General
Larnach, appearing for the Territory.
The point raised by Biting is that
there has been no judgment against
Wade and this is where his fight has
been made.
Larnach has held that under the Ha-
waiiau law a judgment and a decision
are almost identical and this view has
been taken of the matter by Judge
Dole. Now the fight comes over whe-
Their the Territory can prove that an
oral decision was rendered by the
judge.
