PRACTICAL REASON.

This is practical age. 1t is an age
that has learned to take account Of
things by results; and theories, merely
as theories, are being discredited. No
where is the tendency of the times more
manifest than in religious matters, for
the churches are leaving the theoretical
for the working practical basis and they
demand to see results just as insistently
as do commercial enterprises. We are
moved to these remarks by the state
ment recently made by DR.. Aked, pastor
of Mr.. Rockefeller's church in New
York, who said:
s'The church which has nothing to
say to social problems has in our day
no claim to existence. Soon, If not
laughed off the face of the earth, 1T
will remain only as the refuge of the
idler the selfseeker, and the coward.
We may be profoundly thanyful for the
promise of many mansions in the sky,
but the gospel of today demands better
homes below, and better men and wom-
en- in them. We may contemplate with
poetic rapture the pearly gates and gold
en- streets, but they must not so fill
our minds that we have no thought for
the tenement district. Religion is not
a things of the stars, but of the
Streets
And this is a true utterance, and we
are glad to believe that the tendency
of religious endeavor today is all to-
ward the ideal set forth by DR.. Aked.
Religion at its highest teaches us that
our greatest duty On earth is toward our
fellow-man; so that by having high
ideals ourselves we may lift our fellows
to the heights. Religious faith is a
fine thing and great power, but it is
true now-perhaps truer in our day than
ever before-that "faith without works
is dead
In this day and age we find it hard
to understand some of the anomalies of
our civilization; how, for instance, the
authorities Of rich Trinity church in
New York can be content to use the
money-no matter for how worthy a
purpose-wrung from the rentals Of hor-
rible tenements that are disgrace to
Christianity. Much more, in this ma
terial day, can we do for our fellow-man
by pointing him not TO the "pearly
gates and the ''streets paved with
gold,' but by helping him to cleanli-
ness in this world, cleanliness Of city,
cleanliness of body, cleanliness of mind
and heart. 1t is better, in other words,
to live worthily than it is to die worth
lily. That, we think, is the ultimate
message that religion has for our
times.

THE GIRL WITHOUT A HAT.

We do not know--we almost fear to
hope--whether it Is the setting in Of a
new fashion, this charming custom of
girls going about hatless, but, If it Is,
let us welcome 1t with exceeding Joy.
She is becoming ubiquitous, this girl
without hat, wherever she may be, she
adds beauty to the landscape and pic
turesqueness OF the view.
More welcome, too, will the new-old
custom of the fair sex be If one of It's
results is the dethroning Of that awful
monstrosity, the Merry Widow hat
that dire shape of straw that lnows a
swath of discomfort through out thor.
oughfarcs and which has added to the
burdens of torrid summer. Let us
hope that the new style of feminine
bareheadness has come about through
female recognition of the eternal verify
of the poet who declared that the
crowning glory of woman is her hair
1t is better to look upon, thousand
times, than either the manufacturing
''sailor" or the crushed strawberry
combinations of fuss and feathers thai
so many girls disfigure themselves with
Let the girls remember how true tho
couplet of Pope:
"Fair tresses man s imperial race
ensnare,
And beauty draws us with single
hair"
1t may be that the girls who are brav
ing convention, declaring their freedom
from the thralls of the milliner, ant
making life more beautiful by discard
ing their hats, need encouragement. Fol-
heaven sake let us all get together ant
praise the sex for its good sense. We
should say, at rough estimate, that the
matrimonial chances Of the girl with
out a hat, as against the girl with Q
Merry Widow were at least a hun
dred to one, and that should help some
if its truth can be proved. All hail u
the sensible American girl and hel
crown of glorious hair. May the sun
beams kiss it into more perfect beauty
may the gentle winds tease it into NOR,
graceful curves! A has les chapeaux

trict endeavored to secure recognition
from the chair, but was ignored. When he
persisted there were cries of sit down"
Five minutes later, as the back delegate

him down. He persisted. and while he
was stin on his feet a motion was made
and carried TO adjourn until o'clock

alleged misuse of power, and took

gres sional candidate from the third dis
trict asked the convention to seat the
Vawter delegates. who represented the

aroused the convention 10 great enthusi-
assn. Mr. Luce then moved the adoption
of the minority report. Morgan Treat Sc
cured the floor to speak for the ma jority
report. and a delegate shouted: I'VE want
a white man. Then came cries of Sit
down. followed by misses from all parts
of the house He refused to stop. and the
chairman declared the convention would
have to hear Treats statement IL it took
all night. Then quiet came and Treat was
heard.
Must Eliminate the Negro.
T. J. Davenport declared that the re-
publicans of Virginia must eliminate the
negro. and now was the time and the con-
rention the place. The chairman tried to
stop him, bu, the convention would not
let him. and while he was reading the
negro out of the party the delegates yelled
themselves hoarse.
