RELIGION AND DANCING

Anna Pavlova, in the September Strand.
The dance is a major part of all primi-
tive religions, and 1t is on primitive re-
lgions that all the warning creeds of to-
day are built. In this matter of religion
and the dance, Americans are, of course,
most familiar with the dance rituals of
the Red Indian. You must not scott at
the religion of Poor Lo, because the In
dams who yet survive still love the dance.
have studied the beliefs of some of the
North American tribes, for it is my hobby
to learn all 1 can about the dance in
every age and in every land learn
from the ethnologists and anthropolgists
and archaeologists-can Americans really
make fun of Russian nomenclature ?-that
there is not one of the many score tribes
which does not have a belief in a flood
similar to the flood of the Bible. Some OF
the tribes-and the more they danced the
better they were-had surprisingly" high
moral standards. Perhaps the best known
dancing Indians are the Hopi-correctly
called Hopitu, or Peaceful People"
Theirs is the we'll known snake dance. I'M
morality is rare among the Hopis, and
their women instead of being the oft
beaten drudges squaws are supposed to
right to vote in the village councils, long
before the white man set foot on Amer
lean soil.

Cens0ring the Press

Much opposition is being mani
tested by the press of the country to
a bill introduced in Congress by Sena-
tor Works of California designed to
prohibit the newspapers Of the Dis
trict of Columbia from printing any
thing more than a mere statement of
the fact that a crime has been COM
mitted.
The California senator no doubt is
acting in good faith. He is not vul-
nerable to newspaper attack himself,
and so far as known there is no one
he seeks to protect. He believes very
probably that the publication of init
mate details of sordid sin is not food
for the public's mentality. Surely he
does not realize the iniquities that
might arise from an attempt to muz-
zle the press.
Publicity is the weapon that is
routing crime from its lair An un-
trammeled press is the bulwark of
liberty. Evil deeds are done in dark
ness. Charity, honor, truth flourish
in the light
Not the least of the blunders COM
mitted by the ministers of George III
was the persecution of John Wilkes
by Grenville. OF the former the his
torian Green remarks:
"By singular irony of fortune, he
became the chief instrument in bring
ing about three of the greatest ad-
vances our constitution has ever
made He woke the nation to con-
viction of the need for parliamentary
reform by his defense of the rights
of constituencies against the despot-
ism of the House of Commons. He took
the lead in the struggle which put an
end to the secrecy of parliamentary
proceedings. He was the first to es-
tablish the right of the press to dis
cuss public affairs"
Grenville failed, as must any man
who tries to make the world turn
backward. California has been the
scene of farcical effort to restrict
| the freedom of the press. Mr.. Works
should mentally review the history of
his own state.

Where Juries Fail

A iurv in the federal court at Mont
gomery, before whom man accused
of peonage had been tried, reported
that it was unable to agree. Then the
defendant arose and voluntarily
pleaded guilty.
It is no wonder that Judge Shep-
pard waxed indignant. ''This is tray-
esty on justice" he said. Il do not see
how any intelligent man, hearing the
evidence as it was presented, could
agree to such verdict"
Our court system is under fire. The
pettyfogging lawyer and the judge
to whom technicality is fetch have
SO often striven successfully along
their varied lines to make the law a
laughing stock that the layman is in
clined to cry fie upon them all. But
the layman also frequently fails in
the performance of his duty.
Members of juries, as Judge Shep-
pard intimated, often carry their
prejudices into the courtroom. To do
so, as he said, is contrary to the oaths
they take and violation of the sacred
obligations under which they serve.

A UNIQUE CLOCK

From the September Strand.
Truly remarkable is the unique clock
constructed in his spare moments by Mr..
&c. W. Egan general claim agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and lead
er in the safety first" movement recent
ly started by that railroad. Replacing the
numerals on the clock, which is six feet
high, are the letters contained in the
words safety first" Across the face
of the clock are the words Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad the letter "B'' of the
first word replacing the numeral 49,"
thus completing the 12 letters. Over the
dial is a semaphone. Twice daily the
clock performs three essentials to safe
railroading Promptly at 10 a. m. and 4
p. M the semaphore drops to green. this
being the signal to the engineer to go
ahead with caution. Then whistle blows
twice, which is the engineers signal that
he sees the warning of the man in the
tower When the whistle subsidies bell
rings this being a reminder that no loco
motive must be started before a bell is
rung. After the bell stops a curtain
falls from the rear of the clock on which
are printed 10 safety First Don'ts.

President Wilson's Firm Policy

No right thinking American has
ever entertained for a moment the
idea that this country should go to
war with Mexico. On the Mexican
question the American people have
been decidedly sane.
In this country's attitude towards
Spain over Cuba there was strong
sentiment in favor of liberating the
populous island of which Thomas
jefferson said: "We need it to round
out our geographical system Grover
Cleveland was President when the
war with Spain was impending. He
did all in his power to prevent war
and he did prevent it in his admin
istration. But President Mckinley
was overborne by American agita-
ton. The war came and fortunately
it was soon ended.
In the Mexican situation the case is
not parallel to that of the trouble
with Spain. There has never been
any excuse for this country going to
war with Mexico and it is gratifying
to recall the act that jingoism has
been little in evidence. No consider
able percentage of the American peo-
pie have advocated war.
President Wilson started out with
determined policy of non-interven-
ton. At one time the situation
seemed grave. 1t seemed as if the
country might possibly be drawn into
war with our large neighboring re-
public, but, thanks to President Will
sons poise, war is now hardly a re-
mote possibility European powers
and Central American Latin powers
have indorsed President Wilson's
peace policy.
President Wilson in all his treat
ment of Mexico has maintained his
characteristic dignity. There is no
buster whatever about him. When
he lays all the matters relating to
Mexico before Congress today it is
safe to assume that the whole world
will applaud him.

who naturally decided that there was
no case against them. The deputation,
however, had not finished with the mat
ter. On returning home another ju-ju
was invoked, with the result that the
son confessed that both he and his
father were guilty and that they had
killed and eaten seven other men and
women.
Strangely enough, people accused of

fully aware that such confession will
probably cost them their lives. Ava

Wisconsin Weeps

the Jump. Sorrow broods over Brood
erville; there's weeping in Weyau-
vega. From Fairplay to Tomahawk,
from Sunrise to Mukwanago, Wiscon-

There's cause Of this grief; there
is reason for this wailing. Uncle Ike
Stephenson has about decided that he
has no aptitude for public life, and it
is improbable that he will be can

If such be the case, the coming

SHARKS ANNOUNCE OWN CAPTURE

From 1.-The Sea Tiger" in the September
Wide World Magazine.
Sharks are numerous in Magdalena bay
Lower California, the Pacific rendezvous
of the American fleet for target practice.
The monsters at this point seem to take
almost any kind of bait, and it is rarely
that warship is seen at anchor without
from one to a half dozen lines dangling
from its stern. Watching a shark line Is
a tedious business but it is strictly neces-
sary in order that the fisherman may
know when the monster is hooked, as it's
frantic rushes, If allowed to go unchecked
line. leader, or even portion of its own
anatomy to give way, and result in it's
escape. The old scheme of tying the line
around ones big toe and going to sleep
would probably work all right SO far as
rousing the fisherman was concerned, but
the sequel might not leave him in con-
dition to give undivided attention to land
ing his prize. To this end the officers
and sailors have hit on an ingenious plan.
Instead of taking in their lines when the
dinner gong sounds or when for any rea-
son they are on duty elsewhere, they
run stout piece OF marlin twine from
the shark line up to the steam whistle,
leaving it for the maneater himself to an
nounce the event of his being hooked by
sounding toot.

ACTORS AND BARrENDERs

H. l.. Mencken in the Smart Set Maga-
zine.
Examine hundred bartenders and you
will find that fully 60 of them actually
know how to tend bar. They can mix a
cocktail that. whatever its faults, is. at
least fit to drink and they have the
craft needed TO draw seidel of Pilsner
and to beat the cash register.
But in the allied art of acting there Is
no such general dispersion of talent. A
handful of outstanding super-aetors have
it all. The rest of them not only don't
know how to act, but they don't know
that they don't know.
Argue with them for years. and you
will never convince them that the mushy
jargon they speak is not English Chain
them to mirrors until they die. dry up
and blow away. and they will never no.
tice that the clothes they wear are not
worn by cultured white men, and that
they way they walk, gesticulate, make

crawl lope, die, eat trot. pace. jump
out of window, climb up a rainspout,
sing sneeze, roar. whoop, swear, pray, sit

by the free citizens of any Christian COM
monwealth.
No. the average actor never notices
these things. He meyer notices anything
saving only the doings of other actors.
These rivals, whom he despises (and
usually with reason), he devotes himself
to initiating. The result is the so-called
art of acting-an art as thoroughly de-
humanized as that of cutting tombstones.

THE pIGGEsT PAIR OF rusKs

From the Wide World Magazine.
In the stables OF the Royal palace at
Mandalay in Burma, there may be seen
an elephant with remarkable pair OF
tusks, which the Burmese declare are the
largest in the world. These gigantic tusks
measure as much as seven feet nine
inches on the outside curve, with a great
est circumference of no less than II
inches. To naturalists the most extra
ordinary point about these tusks, which
are still being carried by their owner, Is
that they virtually touch the ground and
almost meet. Apparently, however, their
owner experiences no Inconvenience from
these long and cumbrons appendages
whilst taking exercise. AS geological
curiosity the elephant has naturally at
tracted wide attention, and it is said that
several offers have already been received
for the tusks when the animal should
see fit to depart this world.

HIS MISTAKE

himself one Sunday before church time
made a slight cut with the razor on the
extreme end of his nose. Quickly calling
his wife, he asked her il she had any
court plaster in the house. "You will Ind
some in my sewing basket" she said. The
warden soon had the cut covered. At
the church In assisting with the collection
he noticed every one smile as he passed
the plate, and some of the younger peo-
pie laughed outright. Very much an
