capable Of Judging wisely for themselves
in matters OF amusement.
The discipline at present is both
paragraphs relative to amusement are
Inconsistent with each other. The
church cannot consistently advise
against what is prohibitive or prohibit
what IL advises against. 1t must be one
or the other.
II would like to see the church take
a positive position not forgetting that
while there are great many members
of sufficient taste and experience to
judge wisely for themselves, there are
many others to whom the church must
be an authority as we'll as counsel
lor."

CHURCH MAY LIFT
BAN ON DANCING
Methodsts Expected to Leave Card-PIaying Theater-
Going and Other Similar Amusements to
Discretion of Members.

Dancing, card playing, theater-g going

for years have been frowned on bN

a lair chance OF being taken from he
meath the ban at the coming general
conference of the denomination 10 b.
held In Baltimore, according to state
me1ts made this morning by prominent
Washington members of tho church
1t Is tEU object Uf many clcrgymen
and scholars of the church to either
eliminate the paragraph IN the IiCir-
hne which places the han on these
forms OF amusement or change 1t from
q prohibitiVe rule to an advisory one.
There has been a widespread sentiment
Tor such a change ever since the gem
eral conference If 1900.
John Wesley's idea was to leave all
matters of amusement to the individual
conscience" said the Rev. DIR. w. r.
Wedderspoon, pastor of the Foundry
M. K. Church, this morning, in speaking
OF the proposed change. THE idea of
changing the paragraph against owning
property used for the sale of liuuor.
dancing, theater-going and card play
ing is not a new one. 1t was almost
assured that the paragraph should be
stricken at the general conference at
Los Angeles.
AN the members of the conference
seemed to favor the plan to make the
paragraph advisory, but just about the
ume u resolution was about to be
passed against the measure, the news
papers began to tell in fiaring head
mes that Methodists would hereafter be
allowed to dance and do many other
Things, and we decided It best not to
touch the discipline
1T always has been the policy OF the
church TO try to discriminate between
the recreatlve and vicious forms of
amusement While the tenets of the
prohibitive paragraph have not been en-
FORCED, 1t has been left in the discipline,
ana the members OF the church have
sciences regarding it,"
The Rev. DR.. Joseph NJ. NJ. Gray,
pastor or the Hamline NJ. K. Church
seems to be on the other side of the
question He is of the opinion that GER

Unanimous Verdict of the
Annual Lake County Fair,
Which Closed at Crown
Point Last Night at IL.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point. Ind. Aug. 24.-At
twelve o'clock last night the curtain
was rung down the most success
full fair in the history of Lake County.
The exhibition had lasted four days
and three nights. The ideal weather
that prevailed during this week was a
large factor in the success that is re-
corded today, but the very efficient
management in the arrangement and
during the fair really made the sue
cess possible. There was not hitch
in the program anywhere. No better
racing cards have ever been offered on
any Indiana track. The exhibits of
live stock and in the agricultural lines
were unexcelled.

fair. The north end was well repre-
sented. visitors having come down on

COMPl ANTS MADE
AGAINST ICEMEN
Driver May Place Customer
on Blacklist" if He
Disputes Weight.

Complaints against the icemen de-
iivering ice from wagons continues to
be made to F. J. O'Rourke. the city
sealer. At the beginning of the sea-
son the city sealer forced every Ice
company to put scales on their wag-
ons, quite number of the drivers
having been in the practice of deliv-
erfng Ice unweighed. All the scales
have been tested and are tested now
from time to time. but the complaint
about the drivers are not using them.
Any demand on the part of a custo-
mer 10 have his ice weighed may place
him on the drivers blacklist, it all de-
pending on the drivers mood. The
companies say they do not counte-
nance such conduct on the part of
their drivers.
Recently a customer of the Ham
mond Pure Ice company residing on
Sibley street demanded of the helper
on the wagon. who was about to de-
liver hfty pounds of ice, that the ice
be weighed The driver paid no at
tention to the request and when the
lady of the house asked him about
the exact weight he insuIted her, and
instead of delivering the ice took 1t
back to the wagon. The driver of the
wagon, showing a better breeding and
seeing this conduct In his helper.
weighed another piece of ice and de-
livered 1t. He said that he had been
with the company for two years and
that he wanted to keep his record
clear.
Inspector O'Rourke says that he will
prosecute any case In which COM
plant Is made.

BACK FROM
LONG TRIP

THE manufacturers and merchants
of the United States at great
disadvantage in their competition
with the other great comnferci ma
tions of the world. for the reason that
they charge duty on goods that are
imported for the export trade" said
F. S. Betz on his return from Europe.
Betz says that there are certain
things that can best be manufactured
in Europe. and which always will be
manufactured there for the reason
that the workmanship is better than
IN any other place in the world
I'VE have to import these things.
The F. S. Betz company is building up
a world trade. 1t has customers in
China. South America and in every
large country on the face of the globe.
Now when we get an article from
Germany for shipment to South Amer
lea, for instance, we have to pay duty
on that article. although 1T is not in
tended for home consumption.
IF we have shipment of other ar
ticles of our own manufacture we
can't ship this article with the origi-
nal shipment for the reason that it
would cost us so to 60 per cent duty.
If we would save that duty we would
have to send 1t direct from Germany.
Germany, to continue the illustra-
tion, has the best of us in the scram-
BILE for the worlds commerce for the
reason that 1T can send this article d.
rect to South America duty free.
I'm other words, Uncle Sam re-
strains trade by making 1T impossible
for the American to go into the world
market with the goods of a competi-
tor on the same terms as he does.
Il suggest that there ought to be
island selected to which foreign
goods intended for foreign trade could
be shipped duty free and re-shipped to
the worlds markets. Or else the man
ufacturer who is building up a world
market ought to be permitted to re-
ceive in bond such articles of foreign
manufacture that he finds it neces-
sary to ship out with goods of his own
manufacture"
Betz says that continental Europe
is afiame with Indignation because the
United States has decided to give its
coastwise shipping the benefit of the
Panama canal free toll.
Betz made an extended trip and
visited France, Austria, Germany Bo-
hemia, Holland. Belgium, England and
Scotland He is in the best of health
and glad TO get back to Hammond.

IMPOSSIBLE TO
SPEED IN HOME WOOD
But the Official Was Ar

Just the Same.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Dyer, Ind. Aug. al. Collins
chauffeur for a Homewood. Ill. official
was arrested here yesterday evening
by Marshal Eugene Stech on the charge
of violating the speed law, and was
fined a dollar and costs before Judge
Seidler.
In the automobile were a number of
Homewod city officials, and the owner
of the particularly seemed peeved
for having to dig down in his jeans for
the drivers fine. He said that in
Homewood 1t is not customary to ar
rest people for spending and abused
the marshal roundly. A Dyer citizen
who heard of the arrest and who is ac-
quainted with Homewood roads says it
would be an impossibility to speed
there because of the poor conditions of
the roads there.
