Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1909-05-13

HAROLD BoLcE, IN COSMOPOLITAN" for May, claims that
leading professors in the highest schools in America. are blasting at
teach. He claims that in hundreds of cassrooms it is being taught
daily that the Decalog is no nor sacred than the syllabus; that the
home rs an institution is doomed; that there re n absolute evils; that
immortality is simply an act in contrayention of sociotys accepted stand.
ards; that democracy is a failure and the Declaration Of Independence
only spectacular rhetoric; that thu change of religion Ito another is
like getting a nw hat; that moral rrecepts are passing shibboleths;
hat conceptions o. right and wrong are as unstable as styles of dress;
that wide stairways re open between social Levels, but that o the
climber children are eucumbranCes; that he sole effect of prolifcacy
is to fill tiny graves, and tina. there al be and are aoier alliances with
out tn marriage bond than with it,
In support of. the foregoing avermens, Mr.. Harold Bocc. quotes the
following authorities as taken by him during their lectures:
Frank w. Backmar of tn University of ansas-"The standards OF
right perpeCtualy change in social life
Edward A. Ross, University of Wisconsn-"The restriction of the
birth rate is a movement at bottom salutary."
William G. Summer. Yale-"Both pair marriages and democracy are
produced by the condition of society and both are uanshory."
Charles II. Cooley, University of Mchgan-"Every a mind is
the theatre OF a conflict of Standards
Simon h. Paten, University OF Pennsylvania Society ives it debt
TO the wealthy and farseeing ciizenry that paves and lights and poll
cs the road to Jericho
Frank II. Peter, Cornell intellectual and economic power con
tribute, 10 ito offspring, but to steriize scholarship and social display.
Edwin carp, Syracuse Univer is unscientfc TO imagine
that God yer turned stone mason N chiseled commandments on Il
rock"
shaher Mathews, University OF Chicago-"We go into family ELLA
ions with the sanglro5l that We g o on a picnic"
c. w A. vedtz, University Of Michisan-"If society is to real the
benefit of large families, society should bear a large part Of h bur
den involved Dy large families"
Franklin n. Giddings, Columbia-"It is not right 20 set up a teclni
cal relationship as morally superiorto spontaneous references of a a
and woman"
The foregoing are a few OF the precepts taught in hundreds of the
highest institutions OF learning in the United States by leaders in adj
vance thought. 1t should be borne in mind, however, that the conclns-
ions of Mr.. Bolcea are not based On the lectures of the Professors as i
waohc, nut iron exccpts ta&en by him during their lectures, and are
more or less tainted "y his own environment and feelings, and his
ambition to "muckrake, and create a sensation and attract attention
to himself.

HORSE TALK
BY TIM

The breeding mare mast have
regular exercise every day.
If not used daily in the harness,
she should be turned loose in the
yard.
Be sure that there are no icy
places, as one slip or strain may
cause the loss of both mare and
colt.
Give the mare sufficient feed TO
keep her in a thifty condition.
Wheat bran and oil-meal, and
occasionally feed Of roots, apples,
potatoes, ETC., for variety. DO
not allow her to become constipat-
ed.
The growing colts, especially the
roadsters, should have lot of ex-
ercise. They should under no cir
cumstances3 be kept in the stables.
They should have the run OF a
large yard or field.
Draft colts do not need so much
room in which to exercise, as they
are less active,
Each colt should have q small
grain ration, night and morning.
Fall colts can also be raised prof
itably, after the mares have done
a seasons work on the farm.
Never make your colts or horses
face blank, dark wall all the time
while in the barn. Give them plen-
ty of light; it is better for their
eyes.
AS winter wears away be more
careful than ever about grooming
thoroughly. From now on TILL
spring is the trying time.
To prepare horse forlong drives
he should have the best Of hay and
all the sound grain that he can eat
up clean at each meal. Then each
day he should be driven i've to
eight miles or more at a moderate
mace and be taken thorough care of
bv careful rubbing and blanketlng.
Use whole old oats in preference
to other grain.

SPEARlNG A BEAR.
Bruins Sharp Teeth Bit Through the
Copper Sheathed Weapon.

Twice in my chase Of bruin have
made use Of bear spear as my weap-
Oh Of attack" writes Count Eric Won
Rosen, land may take this opportu-
nifty to maintain that the use OF a
spear entails no greater cruelty than
any other mode Of attack and that
every hunter should be armed with
ore in reserve, since these powerful
beasts have vitality that triumphs
over a stray bullet OF more unless
lodged in a vital region, and when
wounded their retaliation Is redoubta-
BILE and easily fatal. In Karelia, Fin
land. the bear is yet regarded as
noxious horror The great black haired
'slagbjorn,' or killing bear, Is still ram
pant there. and a couple Of winters
back l was able to wreak justlfiable
vengeance on some beasts that had
killed over score of cows and nine
horses. News had been brought me
that some Of these rascals were hiber-
mating on a small marsh bound island.
eve found no difficulty in locating
their lair, and l took up my post at
the entrance to it, armed only with my
spear, | may explain that bear spear
consists of an ash staff some two
yards long and about q couple OF
inches in diameter. There is blade
Of steel about twelve inches in length,
and the shaft Is copper cased as q pre-
yentlon against the teeth of bruin. AS
soon as my gentleman appeared tried
to stick him in the throat, but he par
ried adroitly, and I missed. made
another lunge and succeeded in driv-
Ing my spear point through his breast.
"He started roaring furiously and
snapped at my copper cased staff, then
made an attempt to strike at my arm
with his huge fore paw, so that l
might drop my weapon. The powerful
brute hung on to my spear at the one
end while as grimly held on at the
other end. His bites went through the
copper plate, and he started shredding
the wood beneath. Strenuously Il
checked his further advances, and
gradually, for his wounds began to
tell, his resistance weakened, and he
dropped at last over the aperture OF
his den.
81 pulled out the spear, but so much
strength still remained in him that hel
seized the blade and bit 1t with a.
force that left deep indentations in thf
steel. My companion then finishe
him off with his own weapon. Us

Rudnhist Ceremonies.

Some Buddhist ceremonies present a
striking analogy to certain Christian
rites. An old missionary says: "The
very titles Of their intercessionS, such
as goddess Of mercy holy mother,
queen Of heaven with an image OF
the virgin having a child in her arms
holding It crescent, are all such strik-
Ing condolences that the Catholic mis-
sionaries were greatly stumbled at the
resemblances between Chinese wor-
ship and their own when they came
over to convert the natives to Chris
tianity."-London Standard.

India who have been brought here
by the English.
1t is said that the Indians are
constantly increasing while the ma
tives are decreasing. 1t seems u
pity that this brawny race should
give way. Fiiians are splendidly
built, both men and women, and
their appearance gives one the i'm
preston of the great force of prim-
ative man. There deterioration is
another evidence of the encroach-
ment of the white man. Where
the white man goes the native gives
way. 1t is said by those who are
over egotistical that it is because of
the superiority of the white race,
but the fact is it is because of the
white mans vices.
The first object of interest that
attracts the eye on coming here is
the constabulary, smartly dressed
in bright blue tunic, with helmet
on the head, but with q white sulu
reaching nearly to the knees. Legs
and feet are bare, contrasting most
with the smart up
per dressing. These constables, or
policemen, are all natives, and they
are chiefly ornamental, for there is
little or no crime on the island.
Here, as on other islands, the most
interesting part is the interior, for
1T the seaport towns white lnfu-
ence is felt too strongly.

Levuka, Fiji, October 3.7pIhree
DAYS from Samoa brought ME to a
new and strange country 1t is
strange because it is differsht from
all other South Sea islandy that l
have visited. One would imagine
that these islands wouldbave SINH
lar characteristics, but khey have
not. 1t was in the eaJy morning
when the screws of he steamer
ceased to revolve, and on getting
ND at sunrise | lookef out of the
portfolio upon pifure of most
vivid beauty, ThHis a small, lof-
ty island, its high jagged rocks
being covered wifi verdure that
looks like velvetl At the foot of
the rocks nestlefhumberless white
and red houses seeming to look
down upon thevessel like so many
gorgeously Fed birds. On the
wharf were JIsteredstr figures,
unlike anyf the natives yet seen.
We are nos out of Polynesia and
Papuan bod shows in the people.
These Ffans look like typical saw
ages. 5heir hair is like stiff mop
sticking out above their faces; fea-
turesEpproach the Negroid type,
withfhick lips and fiat nose, while
thief color ranges from deep copper
toEctual black. Their expression
avid and untamed, and several
4 the more timid passengers said
would never 90 ashore among such
people.
But these seeming savages are
merely peacable laborers employed
by the steamship company to load
and unload their cargoes. They
came from all the islands hereabouts,
and many them are Solomon island
ers. The Fijians are quiet and
friendly, but fifty years ago this
was the worst cannibal island in
the world. Then it was unsafe tol
go ashore; three years ago an Eng
Iish lady went ap through theinter-
ior of the Islands with no compan-
ion except native guide. There
IS not even q shadow of risk to the
most timid traveller now.
FIJI appears sinister and forbid
ding, even in it's physical character
sites, and her people carry out the
dea. In this it is different form
comic opera Tonga, orsweet Samoa.
To the active Imagination the black
and ragged peaks of the hills of FIJI
which encircle the bay of Suva, sugrr
yest the black past Of the islands
Early youth when human flesh was
the delicacy for a ban
1uet. FIJI is beautiful but it is a
sort of deyilish beauty which both
attracts and repels at the same
time. One cannot help a shudder
as he sees these savage-eyed island
ers passing among daintily dressed
women on the streets, but it is all
in appearance.
The facination of FIJI is we'll
known to them who haye spent
even a week among these great
populous islands, so unlike the little
dreamy nests of sun and solitude
which make up the other lesser
nroupo of tho island world IT. is
said that out of the 1000 inhab-
itants of the FIJI islands 81, 900 are
natives. In addition to these are
Solomon islanders, their
black skins and kinky hair making
one think them true Africans. There
are also many Indians, not the In
dams of America but those from
