AsIatic Creeds.

Few people realize the growth OF
Asiatic cults and religions in America
1t is stated on apparently good au-
thority that this country now holds
$4,000 sun worshipers, and an equal
number of Buddhists.
Probably ten times as many per.
sons have covered the Oriental basis
of their new creed with a veneer OF
western Christianity. The number OF
dabblers in the mystic" cults of India
now among US cannot be guessed.
There is no cause for alarm at this
growth of Orientalism. Neither Is 1t a
thing to be proud of. Mysticism, sen
sualism, lethargy-these in varying
proportions are woven in the texture
of every Asiatic creed that is seeking
converts here. These creeds do not
and cannot fit the busy life of our land
today. and for that very reason they
will make no dangerous progress In
this land
The growth OF pagan Orientalisn
in America is remarkable. but. after
all, it touches only the fringe OF ouI
population.

NEWARK'S THE TOWN

Rome was not builded in day;
For centuries men worked away
No cutters they.
And, if this town of ours is slow,
Remember it is often so
That cities grow.
Just keep on boosting it a bit;
Just show that you have faith in it,
And never quit.
Just make yourcash, and spend it, here
And, dag by day and year by year;
Still persevere.
This town amid the fertile loan
Is just as good town as Rome
So boost for Homei

In the end he went, apologizing to
the people over whose laps he
stumbled, and who glared at him
coldly.
He returned just as the bell buzzed
for the curtain.

They Didn't Answer.

There was a note of finality in his
voice that Helen had learned il was
useless to combat. But to her the half
hour of that last act seemed an eter

belief that radical reforms are neces-
sary to make prison discipline intelli-

out of Auburn Sunday morning a sad
der, wiser and physically depleted
man. He had shared the cell life of
the cOnvicts. broken bread with them
and incurred their punishments by
voluntarily committing offenses against
the prison rules.
Tentatively Mr. Osborne makes
these specific complaints against the
prison system.
The prison system is a form of
slavery. 1t takes from the convict his
own initiative and freedom of action
and he becomes an irresponsible au-
tomaton, unable to guide his own des-
tiny when he returns to the outside
world.
The system inevitably tends towards
making punishment for small offenses
the same as for great offenses.

the normal uses of their senses of

tunately Auburn is not a model for
other prisons. More humane rules
and customs have been introduced in
other prisons and the investigation by
Mr.. Osborne will help improve condi-
tons at Auburn. In this progressive
age no system can stand against such
damaging charges.
The modern idea is that offenders
are sent to prison to be taught the
error Of their ways and for the pro-
lection OF the public while their ref
ormation is in progress. The question
OF punishment is practically eliminat-

The theater was darkened and the
curtain went up as they entered. The
usher finally took their tickets and
led them stumbling down the aisle.
Their seats were in the center Of
the row and half a dozen people had
to be disturbed before they could be
