nornic questions IS Inadequate: who belleVe
that before legislation is enacted there
should be 2 very careful inquiry into the
very complicated facts by an Impartial
body giving its whole time to this problem
But here. unfortunately. new division
arises. since among those who advocate
the accuracy Of the proposed new metnod
are many who cannot forego the prompt
ness and dispatch Of the old.
There are men who denounce the com
r1ittees Of Congress for having attempted
to revise the tariff in five months and VINO
vet would denounce any tariff BOARD
which was not ready TO report on REVISION
in the same length of time. This may sound
fattering to those who are asked 70 &C
complish this difficult feat in SO short
time but so far as we have anything TO 90
with the matter we know full well that the
question Of properly understanding AL the
details Of the tariff is not so much ques-
ton of relative intelligence as q question OF
relative study and experience II Is oota
inconsistent and unfair to demand az one
and the same time that the tariff shaN pc
revised on the basis Of an impartial and
scientific investigation Of the facts. and yet
be revised with i1pulsive haste as a 20
ntical exigency- The two demands are r.
reconcilable. and you must choose between
them. So far as are concerned, the
President has given US our task TO find the
facts We have resolved not TO substitute
for facts any half formed guesses or opin-
ions We shall not depart from this re
solve under orders or pressure from any
man or any interest, nor In response to
mere unthinking clamor."

the teachings of the humble Nazarene.
Practical Christianity in all of its bear
ings was given such a brilliant illumina-
tion as to remind each person in the au-
dience that he needed self-examination.
His explanation of the latter part of
verse one of the first Psalnl--''nor stand.
eth in the way of sinner, nor sitteth in
the seat of the scornful".--was very clear
and forceful. Time, the priceless legacy
of the Christian, he reminded us, idly
spent in resorts of mere amusement such
as the saloon, dance hall, and theatre,
was the immediate cause of so much UNI
godliness and misery in the world. And
the result of such precious time and op-
portunities lost thus in revelries, he
compared to the tree whose leaf was
withered and the cbaH which the wind
driyeth away.
The fact is, his remarks were direct,
ed with such fatherly tenderness and his
words were so laden with sweet admoni
tion, that they brought from many a
heart the frank Amen" and from many
an eye a tear of sympathy or remorse,
His sermon was delivered with free

The last week in the general field of
politics has stirred up the thinking.
New England has done the almost unex-
pected in agreeing to send lis back ii
goodly number OF insurgents to keep the
pot boiling, Out West the good Col
is keeping things humming, yet to tell
the truth, he has kept the middle of the
road and kept it well. Just when the
Insurgents were ready to come out and
adopt him he said, Nay Nay; and when
the regulars thought they had him he
was just gone and so keeps up the merry
war of conflict of opinion as to where
he stands. There is no denying the fact,
that there is going TO be fight OF some
proportions this fall and the sooner we
realize that the better off we are going
to be as Republicans. The real fight is
not between the Democrats and the Re
publicans, but it is family affair, and
those are the most bitter OF feuds. We
will be compelled to fight for every inch
OF ground we get. This is not on the ac-
count of the strength of the enemy, but
on the account Of our own weakness,
brought about by contention and strife.
Well, we have to have general house
cleaning sometimes and perhaps this is
as good time as any. But it is to be
hoped that we can clean the house ii
clean it we must without destroying and
damaging the effects therein.

THE JOHNSON BELT.

DR.. Parkhurst in the New York Jour
nal, says among other things, in reference
to the proposed $4,000 diamond studded
belt for Jack johnson: This project will
be considered with derision by a con
siderable part of the lighter colored popu,
lation" ut is certainly not to
be called a wise expenditure of money"

Washington could suggest a number of
ways that it could be invested to bet.
Ter advantage by the coored race"
Not knowing just what the DR.. means
by the adjective tighter in this connection
we are not prepared to discuss that part
of it intelligently. He may mean from
the viewpoint of pigment or he may mean
from the viewpoint of brain. It's ambigu-
Ous to say the least.
With reference to the other injunction
it is proper to say that Jack johnson has
done good in his capacity, while Mr..
Washington has done good in his John
son stands absolutely at the head of his
class and it must be remembered that
all prizefghters or professional boxers
are not hoodlums. In the face of most
severe opposition and almost impossible

At Critical Point O. Glen Island Play
Genesee Breaks in With "Eas
Anybody Here Seen
KelIy?"

Genesee is a seven-year old Indian
boy who lives In wigwam on the
shore of the sound at Glen island,
where a tribe of Ojibway Indians is
reproducing "Hiawatha,' the Indian
love play, for city children, who have
been hearing Indian music OH the rec
reation piers this ummer, Genesee
never heard Of Arthur Farwell's rem
dition Of Indian music though he has
( learned from his father some Of the
two and three-tone native songs Of
the Ojibways, and he knows, of course,
the chants Of the Indians as they
dance and perform Longfelow's great
poem.
The other day Gcnesee. who was
born up on the Cattaraugus reserva
ton aud is the grandson of the Indian
who holds the medal for being the

wanted to introduce flying machine
into the most critical part of the per
formance. He has been looking at the
papers and has cen pictures of Curtiss
sailing through the air. With crack
er box the boy had made a fair flying
machine model and wanted Breathes
Hard, his father, to have big one
made so that the soul of Minnehaha,
after she had been buried" In the
branches of the trees lin the forest
deep and darksome, underneath the
moaning hemlocks," could get back to
earth.
Old Nokomis. his grandmother. who
takes the poem play very seriously,
refused to listen and his father cuffed
him for the unholy suggestion. This
made Genesee feel bad Its too old
fashioned" he secretly told the an
cient arrow makers daughter while
he was dressing for the part OF the
boyhood of Hiawatha But wait!"
The next day he went over to the
beach dressed in a little shirt and leg
gngs to swim with the other bathers,
and there he heard a song that had
more than three tones. 1t was full
Of notes, and they rippled up and
down the scale to the ravishment OF
his little ears. There was one line
that pleased him very much, 1t be-
gan. Has anybody here seen Kelly?"
He got away by himself and sang II
over and over.
The next morning there was re-
hearsal In full dress. The play had
reached the point where Hiawatha
paddles away across the lake to the
tent Of the ancient arrow maker and,
killing deer, throws 1t down at the
feet Of Minnebaha and her father.
Across the lake the voices OF the In
dians rose and fell In harmony. The
voice of the hidden reader came: "At
the doorway of bis wigwam sat the
ancient arrow maker; at his side, all
In her beauty sat the lovely Mime
haha."
Just then in the tense silence ou.
on the float at the lower end of the
lake appeared tiny Indian boy his
feather head dress trembling with ex-
element at the example Of modern
progress he intended to give and,
stretching up his arms skyward to the
abode of the Great Spirit he sang in
hoyish soprano that could be heard
all over the island;
Has anybody here seen Kelly,
Kelly with the green necktie?"
That was as far as he got, for Kwa-
