ANOTHER MOSES

An employe in one of New York s
leading banks has formulated set
of commandments. They should be
adopted by all bankers more readily
than the Israelites adopted the set Of
ten which Moses delivered to them.
| If they are universally adopted and
obeyed, the employe will have prov
en- himself a second Moses, who shall
lead all bankers and bank employees
to promised land where absconding
cashiers are no more and where
bank failures are unknown.
The new set of ten commandments
are:
| You must not drink any intoxicat-
ing liquors with meals in public res
taurants.
You must not enter any saloon.
You must not enter any gambling
house.
You must not enter any pool room.
You must not visit any race track.
You must not enter any bucket shop.
You must not speculate.
You must not attend prize fights.
You must not have vicious COM
panions.
You must not frequent Broadway
resorts or become conspicuous where
the great white lights blaze.

of Northern prisons were guilty OF
inhumanities that is an indelible
blot upon the name OF the North
and the name of the man should
now be orgotten and not cherished
by erecting a shaft to his memory

What Others Say.

In delightful article in the
Western Star OF recent date, Josias
Morrow, the historian OF Warren
county, tells OF the various "reli-
gious" delusions" that swept over
the country In it's early years
He prefaces his articles with several
statements that abound in wisdom,
and. in a sense, accounts for the
prevalence OF the fanaticism of the
past
"A disease which spreads among
the people and affects large num-
Der In community he says, may
be called an epidemic. 1t is now
generally recognized that there
may be epidemlcs of nervous as
well as OF physical diseases. A
morbid state of the mind pervad-
Ing the community may be called
an epidemic mental disease. A wide
spread nervous disorder may result

less permanent. When we remem.

prised that many persons OF un-
stable Mental equilibrium Ish,ul.
be completely controlled by a
single person whose mind. while ap-
parently unimpaired, Is domihated
by one delusion. There is reason to
believe that epidemic nervous dis
orders and widespread religious
delusions were more common among
the pioneers OF the West than they
can ever again become In the same
region. We shall probably never
again see "a religious revival such
as that OF the early years OF the
last century which carried large
portions of Presbyterian congrega-
tions into Shakerism. The lonely
lie In the pioneer cabin made IL
easier for the revivalIst to center
the thoughts OF a vast multitude
on a single subject and led the set
Tiers to make journey of two or
three days to attend camp meet
ing. The modern newspaper spread
Ing abroad intelligence from all
parts OF the world will do much

That grand municipal code to
which some, who were legislators at
the time 1t was passed, have been
pointing with pride and warning all
following legislators to keep hands off
for fear they would spoil the thing,
has been found to contain a sleeper,
"a ;ision which prevents cities and
towns owning lighting plants from
selling current to the citizens. We
will just wait little and see IL this
ideal code for municipalities does not
contain some other sleeper which
will be favorable 10 the corporations.

this day and age for mental cpl
denies to sweep the country. There
will probably always be some OF
these epidemics and we may not as
yet be entirely rid of the delusions.
but 1t is certain that the menta
epidemics OF the future will not
be so widespread as those of the
past
The newspaper has unquestionably
done and is doing much to prevent
the spread OF the delusions, If that
is the way 20 express 1T, but there
are other things which have entered
into this matter, notably the abil-
ity of the people to secure amuse-
ments. With picnic grounds and
PARKS and theaters and brass bands
and excursions and circuses and ar,
galleries, and the thousand and
one other diversions accessible to
the present generation, there are
going to be very few meeting
house floors wet with tears"
Some look upon such a condition
as the present as indicative OF de-
generacy. They claim to see in the
irivolity OF the race, course that
leads away from the spiritual, and
they deplore the fact that there
is less of serious worship than
there used to be. But we refuse to
believe that the world is retrogard-
ing in any respect. There were
great men and noble women de-
veloped in the past; there was some
thing beautiful and sublime about
many of the fanaticisms of old:
many of the people who embrac-
ed the delusions, were unquestion-
ably helped, and there is much sof
harm in many of the gaudy, silly
amusements OF the present day. But
religion does not depend upon tears
nor does the devil ride through the
world upon a smile or peal OF
laugh hter.-Springfield, Ohio News.

ASTRONOMICAL A EVENTS:
GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT

The United Daughters of the Con-
federacy have stirred up quite a
row in G. A. X. circles with an in
scription which they propose plac-
in on monument to be erected at
Andersonville Georgia, to the men,
ory of Major Henry wirz, who was
in charge of the Confederate prison
at Andersonville, during the Civil
War.
The proposed inscription reads /:
In memory OF Major Henry
Wirz, tried by illegal Court
IS martial, under false charges
of excessive cruelty to Federal
prisoners, sentenced and judici-
ally murdered at Washington,
ID. c., November 10, 1865.
That the United States Govern
ment, not Major Wirz, is
chargeable with the suffering
at Andersonville, there is abun-
dant proof furnished by friend
and foe. To rescue his memory
from the stigma attached to it
by embittered prejudice and
ignorance, and to restore 1t to
a its rightful place among men,
:. the Georgia division of the
United Daughters of the Con-
federacy has raised this shaft.
At some time in the dim future
little objection would probably be
raised to the wording OF the in
scription or the sentiment express
ed, but so long as any of the ex-
prisoners OF Andersonville or their
sons are alive, there most certainly
will and should be objection and
strenuous objection, too at that.
