IMMORAL CULTS.

A curious legal hearing is in prog
ress in Chicago in connection with
the so-called "Sun Worshipers," one
of those amazingly immoral cults
promulgated in the guise Of religion
The immediate issue involved in the
hearing is clouded in maze Of legal
technicalities, but for ordinary pur-
poses it may be stated that the pun
ishment of the leader Of the obscene
cult depends not upon the question
as to whether he is guilty Of lewd
teaching, but whether he transmitted
through the mails the book" Of the
religion" which reeks with immor-
alities not possible to be printed in
any reputable publication.
1t would seem that the state or mu-
nicipal laws which are insufficient
to punish those guilty of such prac-
tees as are admitted by the follow
ers of the "Sun Worship" are woe
fully weak and that there should be
some more certain means of calling
the guilty ones to account than the
slender reliance upon the federal
postal laws. The repeated launching
of these vicious religions" is bring
ing the time rapidly near when dras-
tic measures will be necessary to
prevent the corruption Of innocent
children and uper-sentimental wom-
en-. The astounding feature of these
lecherous cults" is that there are
always numerous women to be found
ready to practice them and ready 10
believe the most palpable blasphe-
mics in regard to the divinity Of
this or that adventurer who sets up
the most preposterous claims. The
head of the "Sun Worship" cult, for
instance, is known as Ottoman Ear
Adusht Hanish, and it was testified
in open court that one otherwise
intelligent woman, of normally moral
principles, firmly believed that Han
ish was the composite reincarnation of
Christ, Napoleon, Moses and cara
thustra.
If the pernicious phase of these
so-called religions" was confined to
the belief Of such monumental alb
surdities, they would only be deplor-
able evidences Of human credulity
But to often the heads of these sects
use their religious teachings as cloaks
for the grossest immortality. The un-
disputed facts in the Hanish case
seem sufficient, to the average per-
son, to cause him and his dupes to be
drummed out of any respectable COM
munity. Yet this and other impudent-
ly immoral movements are permitted
to exist without let or hindrance un-
til some unusually bold offense is COM
mitted, and then the tardy law finds
itself more often than not incapable
of coping with the situation, whereas
the first evidence Of gross infraction
of the moral law ought to be the sig
nal for cleaning out these nests of
iniquity.

AN ENLARGEMENT OF ENGLISH.

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin-
tendent of public schools in Chicago,
is represented as insisting upon the
introduction of new personal pro-
nouns in English writing and speak
ing. Miss Young wants pronouns
which will wipe out the drawing Of a
line between the sexes, such as is
drawn when the expressions "he or
she" or ''his or her are used. She
would substitute new pronoun
'he'er," for the first, and another,
"his'er," for the second. These new
pronouns, and one or two others she
proposes, would, she thinks, serve
the purpose of brevity.
AS such we would all acclaim them,
in an age of brcvity both in speak
ing and writing. But Supt. Blewett
of the st. Louis public schools has at
the plan with the inquiry of why
the roots of all the proposed new
pronouns are masculine. He thinks
that the precedence of the purely
masculine pronouns in the ones
proposed is in itself recognition of
the dominancy of the masculine pro-
noun, and, ergo, of the masculine sex.
Miss Young will not find this conten-
tion as easy to get around as it may
at first seem to be. She may urge
that to use the feminine instead of
the masculine would be a violation
of euphony. There can be no doubt
on that point. "She'er is not as
euphonic as "he'er," and "her'er''
would not be at all euphonic. Eu-
phony being consonance of verbal
sounds, serving the same end in the
verbal world that harmony serves
in the musical, the masculine pro-
noun is more euphor ious than the
feminine, because-well, is it because
the thing with which it is consociated
and for which it stands, is better at
tuned to the laws of harmony, and of
cadence, as expressed in nature
Such is the law in musical harmony
but we leave it to Mr.. Dlewett to
| oeenS WIN MID louHS, anu O,nef
ladies whether it is squal.y law in
the world of euphony, and of cogcn
drous pronouns.
| OF one thing we are assured in ad-
vance; in the vast majority of cases
such verbal complications as alone
could justify the use of the Young
pronouns can be avoided. In the
article including the Blewett inter-
view we find sample sentence show
ing the manner of their proposed en-
ployment, which reads: "a passen-
ger should remember that when he'er
is about to board a pay-as-you-ente
car, he'er should have his'er fare in
hand. This will prevent inconveni-
ence to him'er." Very involved, in
deed, is a sentence like that. Let it
read: Passengers on entering pay
as-you-enter cars should have the
necessary fare in hand. This will
prevent inconvenience" Mrs. Yourg's
pronouns, we fear, would lead to new
complications resulting in greater
verbosity at time when we are all
struggling for greater brevity.-St
Louis Globe.
