A TEST OF NERVE.
One Of the Ways In which Indian
Duel to the Death.

One Of the Ways In Which Indians
Duel to the Death.
Among the Indian tribes the method
of fighting duels differs. There are
some tribes where q challenge to duel
means inevitably that both men must
die. When an Indian feels aggrieved
he demands combat The day for the
same is fixed far in advance and is
made the occasion of little celebra-
ton The entire tribe assemblies. The
braves sit in circle, behind them their
squaws and the young bucks.
The offended man is armed with
rife or a shotgun. The challenged
principal is unarmed. At word both
men arise and face each other, the un-
armed man barring his breast to the
bullet Of his adversary. With eyes
riveted on the little round hole at the
end of the barrel pointed at him, the
doomed man must face the protracted
ordeal of expecting death at any in
slant without the least sign Of weak
ening. The executioner may hold his
gun as long as he pleases in order to
try to break down his enemy. He may
raise it and lower it or hold it steadily
on the man under the frightful strain.
but not even with an eyelid must the
unfortunate betray his anxiety. At
last the gun cracks. and the bullet
speeds its way and the victim lies dy-
ing. The slayer hands the weapon to
relative or a friend of the deceased and
is put through the same ordeal.

SOCIALISM WORST
EVIL IN WORLD
Chicago Minister Says 1t Is
Worse in United States
Than in Europe.
PERIL TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
,GUNSAULUS SAYS ABSOLUTE
EQUALITY WILL BE REACHED
At EXPENSE OF oUALITY-Doc-
Urine WRECKED IN EUROPE.

Chicago, H., Nov. 9.-Socialism and
fndividualism were vigorously con-
trasted by the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus
at the Central church In the Auditori-
am Sunday. The minister declared
that in his opinion socialism is one of
the worst evils that threaten the world
and that the danger from this source
is more grave in the United States
than in any other country.
I'VE are told that we are living in
an age OF commercialism; that our
next step must be socialism," he said
There seems never to have been a
moment when we were SO willing to
adjourn to the government our tasks
and duties. The danger is that the
socialistic creed may be adopted be-
fore we have the individual with a
moral power necessary for that state.
Socialism in France has gone to
pieces. In Germany it has received a
repelling blow. 1t is making no adj
vance in England. We stand more
in danger of 1t than any other coun-
try. Our. dangers in America are
from the academic circles and writer's.
Means Loss Of Personality.
America is personally incarnate.
Personalism founded our new CONT
nent. Our country was peopled by
men who sought individualism.
George Washington was q millionaire,
monopolist, if you will. He was the
richest man in America. yet it was his
individualism that won for us our
country and government, not the gov
eminent that made him. Socialism
would seek to take all such as he and
Franklin and cut them off at the top,
trim them to suit all other men, chop
them down in brain. and heart, and
courage. This is the last class of
men the world could get on without.
Government has seemed to me the
most subtle and difficult of all fine
arts. 1t was simple thing in the
era of barbarism for one big savage
to beat into submission his weaker
creatures. Despotism, too, was ac-
ceptable to ignorance. Government
never can be satisfied until it rests on
something higher. A social organiza-
ton is a political machine that shall
compel the strong to yield that which
wilT>make the weak stronger"

have consistently tried while Presi-
dent to act in relation to my fellow
Americans of Catholic faith as / hope
that any future President who hap
pens to be a Catholic will act toward
his fellow Americans of Protestant
faith. Had l followed any other course
l should have felt that / was unfit to
represent the American people.
In my Cabinet at the present mo-
ment there sit side by side Catholic
and Protestant, Christian and Jew,
each man chosen because in my belief
he is peculiarly fitted to exercise on
behalf of all our people the duties of
the office to which l have appointed
him. In no case does the mans re-
ligious belief in any way influence his
discharge of his duties, save as it
makes him more eager to act justly
and uprightly in his relations to all
men.

tanned in appointing the members of
my Cabinet, the highest officials under
me, the officials to whom is intrusted
the work of carrying out all the i'm
portant policies of my Administration.

Americans should act in choosing.

CHIEF OBLIGATION
CARE OF CHILDREN
ZuebIin Says 1t Should Be the
Chief Occupation.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-An attack on mar.
riage as means for women to obtain
support for themselves and their chill
dren, was made by Prof. Charles
Zueblin Sunday in a lecture on ''Edu-
cation and Life" before the Society
for Ethical Culture.
I'VE must teach all our children the
meaning of sex and our girls the
meaning of motherhood" he said.
Our chief obligation in this life is the
care of children. 1t should be our
chief occupation: it comes ahead of
any spiritual satisfaction. There is
no other equal to the enjoyment of the
care of children.
If the average woman is blessed
with the maternal instinct, why should
she not satisfy it? She is dependent
on being able to marry man, a man
whom she may or may not love, man
who may or may not support her prop.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
IN DEFENSE OF
TAFT'S RELIGION
Continued From Page One.)

all good Americans are proud, then it
would be equally proper to support or
oppose man because of his views on
justification by faith, or the method
of administering the sacrament, or the
gospel of salvation by works. If you
once enter On such a career there is
absolutely no limit at which you can
legitimately stop.
SO much for your objections to Mr..
Taft because he is Unitarian. Now
for your objections to him because
you think his wife and brother to be
Roman Catholics. AS it happens they
are not; but if they were, or if he
were Roman Catholic himself, it
ought not to affect in the slightest de-
gree any mans supporting him for the
position of president.
You say that the mass of voters
that are not Catholics will not support
a man for any office, especially for
president of the United States, who is
a Roman Catholic.
A SANDER on Americans.
Il believe that when you say this
you foully SANDER your fellow coun-
trymen. 1 do not for one moment be-
lieve that the mass of our fellow citi-
zens, or that any considerable number
of our fellow citizens, can be influence
ed by such narrow bigotry as to refuse
to vote for any thoroughly upright and
tit man because he happens to have a
particular religious creed.
Such a consideration should never
be treated as reason orSeither sup
porting or opposing candidate for
political office. Are you aware that
there are several states in this union
where the majority of the people are
now Catholics? l should reprobate
In the severest terms the Catholics
who in those states Tor in any other
states) refused to vote for the most
fit man because he happened to be a
Protestant: and my condemnation
would be exactly as severe for Protes-
tants who, under reversal circumstan-
ces, refused to vote for a Catholic.
I'm public life l am happy to say
that l have known many men who
were elected, and constantly re-elect-
ed to office in districts where the
great majority of their constituents
were of a different religious belief
know Catholics who have for many
years represented constituencies main
ly Protestant, and Protestants who
have for many years represented con-
stituencies mainly Catholic; and
among the Congressman whom l
know particularly well was one man
of Jewish faith who represented a
district in which there were hardly
any Jews at all. All of thRe men by
their very existence in political life
refute the SANDER you have uttered
against your fellow Americans.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-The sugges-
ton that w. ]. Bryan be appointed
chancellor of the University of Nebras-

E. Benjamin Andrews, finds general
favor. 1t is not known if Mr.. Bryan

lieve he would accept and his presence
on the board would be a big card for

indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 9.-John w.
Kern, the recent democratic candidate
for vice president, who has been
fighting the battles of democracy in
Indiana since 1870, is candidate for
the United States senatorship to sue
coed Senator Hemenway. Mr.. Kern
himself confirms the forecast of his
probable candidacy and says that to
be honored with seat in the highest
1awmaking body of the country has
been his lifelong ambition.
On being asked relative to his atti-
tude as to the senatorship, Mr.. Kern
said:
Il have always had an ambition to
represent Indiana in the senate Of the
United States and in making the hope
