Methods and Amusements

Unusual interest in the proceedings of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. now in session in Minneapolis. has been aroused by the report that an effort is to be made to change the present rule of discipline governing amuse- ments. The rule prohibits. dancing. games of chance. theatergoing and horse racing as being tendencies to- ward worldliness
 The arguments for continuing the rule are that it voices a protest against worldliness, that d repeal would suggest a backward step moral Iy, that harmful things are avoided by many because the church so di- rects, and that the repeal would be interpreted as an indication of moral declension The arguments for re- peal are that the rule violates Christ ian freedom, is a source of constant irritation, puts many in the attitude of being disloyal to the church, keeps many people out of the church, breeds hypocrisy. that it cannot be enforced and, not being enforced brings dis cipline into contempt and has not in- creased spirituality in the church
 This subject has been before many of the annual conferences of the Me thodist churches in recent years, and has been widely discussed by mem bers of the denomination. It is un- derstood that eastern churches gen. orally are in favor of a repeal but that the move is opposed, more ol less strongly. by many of the westerr churches. This does not mean tha Methodists look with any more com plaisance upon amusements or diver. sions that in their opinion miIitat, against things spiritual than they diC

when the rule was originally formu- lated.
 Weslcy's position, as some of the leading ministers of the domination have said, was. ill effect, that any thing was wrong which a mans own individual conscience did not approve The ministers also claim that dancing, card playing, theater- going and horse racing, do not cover the ground any way, and that if the rule is to stand it should be widened in scope. But instead of enlarging the rule, they add, it should be repealed, so as to leave the matter to the individual conscience. There would be no req son for claiming or believing that the church, in repeating the rule, had re laXed it's teachings in the slightest degree.

The Craig Bill

It was qui.e triumph for pro cressivism-tAe Govern2r Hunt ty1e of progressivism-when the Craig bill which sought to make of the board of control an organization consisting Of state elective officers, was killed in the senate.
 The Hunt plan is to have control of the state institutions centralized He wants that control vested in the office of the governor.
 Under the Craig proposition the control of these institutions would have been in the hands of the gov ernor. the secretary of state. the treasurer the auditor and the chair man of the corporation commission. All these offices are elective.
 Have we not heard that the pro- sressi.e program is based on the slogan. Let the people rule?"
 Is it. then. inimical to the tenets of progressivism that the properly constituted officers of the state gov ernment should control these institu- tions?
 And is it more in line with real progressivism that the control of the state institutions should be vested in q single individual?
 That is exactly what Mr. Hunt stands for. That is what with the aid and comfort of the senate, he has achieved.
 The proposition to place the con trol of the state institutions in the hands of Messrs Hunt Osborn, Geary Johnson and Callaghan has been vot- ed down The plan is to keep the control of these institutions in the hands of the governor alone
 Again, where does this much talked of rule of the people" come in?
 But this, if The Republican does not mistake the signs, is not quite the end. There is one other scheme of the governor not yet consummated That is the bill to create d purchaS- ing agent
 Will the house support the governor in the furtherance of that scheme?
 The house passed the Craig bill by the vote of 25 to 10 That was good substantial majority.
 And it seems to be pretty fai guess that it will defeat MT. Hunt. other pet bill by practically the sam, vote. It is not believed the house i. quite ready to sanction the appoint. mcnt of purchasing agent

Votes for Alaskan Women.

One of the most interesting debates in the house of representatives during the present session of congress was held few days ago on the bill au- thorizing the Alaska territorial legis- lature to pass woman suffrage laws. It was remarked that there was d total absence of the tolerant levity that formerly played a large part in house discussions that had to do with woman suffrage. It was also re marked that the question was sup ported by the northern members and opposed by those from the south.
 Those who opposed the measure cen tered their arguments on the relation
 of woman to the home. and repre- sentative Macon, of Arkansas, admit. ted that he was considerably worried over what was likely to become of the home if women were given the right to vote.
 Of the republican leaders, Repre- sentatives Payne, of New York; But Ter. of Pennsylvania. and Hill, of Con necticut, favored the measure. So did
 the socialist representative Berger. of Wisconsin. The only southerners pre- sent who favored it were Shirley. of
 Kentucky. and Hobson of Alabama. MT, Berger said he favored giving votes to women despite the fact that
 women in Wyoming and Colorado had opposed socialism. MT Berger said
 the women should be given the right
 to vote as a matter of justice of de ! mocracy and of economic right. When the vote was taken the mea- sure was adopted by ma ajority ol ! S1, with 25 opposed

NEW YORK, May 7-Interest in the stock market continued to center largely around steel. It was the sub ject again of severe pressure. de- clining to CHS at the middle of the day on large transactions Much selling originated with the bear fac tion, which has shown it's attitude in respect to that stock since the publication of the quarterly report a week ago Further ammunition seems to have been furnished by the governments dissolution suit. The rest of the market ranged from steady to strong, with dealings far below those of yestrday Reading, Union Pacific, Lehigh, and New York Central shares more than held their own after the opening which was weak, and some induStrialS, including Smclting, bid equally well. All grain carriers moved up immediately after the issuance of the crop report with especial strength in Union Pacific. Atchison, and others. Bids of forty five millions for New York bonds. were opened late this afternoon.

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN
SCANDAL,

The president Is like the high-mind-
ed president of a public service cor
poration who wants his general man.
ager or counsel to get results in
council and legislature, but Is unwil-
ling to hear anything about the
necessary means.
We do not hear of any refusal of
the president to permit Southern
delegates to the Republican national
convention to vote for him, but he is
taking great pains to pass on the
other side of all unpleasant details
involved in arranging for this support
Of his candidacy.
The Republican party in the South
is a permanent scandal 1t has no
following, since it's Negroes have been
DISTINGUISHED and it's whites ostra-
cised, and only leaders enough to fill
the federal and organization offices.
Extrects from Minneapolis Tribune.
It's a year old, but true.

A SUGGESTION.

In view of the fact that the National
Negro Educational Congress which
meets in July, will bring among us
another element of representative
Negroes, we hope that some definite
arrangements will be made for their
entertainment. The people of Mime
apolis have profited by recent ex-
perience. The Forum should take
the initiative and request that the
various churches, clubs, and fratern-
tiles send their delegates to the Con-
gress, and also invite them to unite
with the Forum in Civic Committee
to represent this city. Let us do
things decently and in order. Each
one will be accorded his social stand
ing. Get the best results by unity Of
effort-and regardless Of the former
status of the Congress, 1t will be a
success, II you desire to make 1t.

have paved the way to better econ

posterity. Our greatest men have
held these positions, and today their
offspring is proud Of their inheritage.

RACE HAS HIGH IDEALS.

Just why they are supporting Roose-

pion of right, not an apologist like
Pres. Taft, who has sustained the
bred Scott decision by refusing to ap
point Negroes to offices wherever II
was Objectionable to white men, and
who by the appointment of Southern
Confederates to the Supreme Bench
has denied the Negroes their Con
stitutional Rights. Roosevelt never
closed the door of hope in the face
Of the Negro.

RUSSIA AND THE SOUTH.

lOI. dul lOhOCA = ASSo'
1t is entirely proper that the Presi-
dent Of the United States and the Con-
gress should make formal protest,
even to the abrogation Of a treaty,
against Russia's failure to recognize
passports granted to American citiz-
ems of Jewish birth, but there Is a
little lesson at home that should be
learned by some Of the Southern
Congressman who have been most
bitter in their denunciation Of Rus
sia for discriminating against Amer
lean citizens on account Of their
religion or race"
Many of the states Of the South
openly discriminate against a class OF
American citizens ION account OF
their race" Most Of the Southern
States have constitutional amend.
ments or election laws which dis.
franchise the Negro voters for NO
other reason, whatever the various
excuses offered, than their race. II
will be at least interesting to watch
these Southern Congressman who
have been so bitter in their denuncia'
ton of Russia and see II they will
demand that the Legislatures OF their
own states cease their discrimina
lions against any American citizens
ON account Of their race.
