MODERN CONFUCIANISM

the virtues of Confucius. The in
tention was that this statement
should be presented to local magis-
trates and by them be brought before
the plain people.
Thus a way would be prepared for
the subsequent elevation of the great

of the new republic. Naturally, we
would expect him to be held most
highly in honor by the old dethroned
Manchu dynasty. young China"
however, realizes that the country
greatly needs both a leader and a re-

could be met by revival of the Con-
fucian cult probably in modernized
form.

Lefthandedness Is a Stain.

From the Independent.
A German philosopher, DR.. Ewald
sitter, has set himself with true Teu-
tonic thoroughness to discover the in
wardness of being Ieft-handed. Ac-
cording to the modern fashion, he
begins far back. In fact, with the
monkeys, which, he says, are COM
pletely anlbidexterous, there being no
signs of right-handed or eft-handed
individuals among them. The exam
nation of tools and implements of the
stone and bronze ages leads DR.. Stier
to believe that, in prehistoric times,
perhaps one-half of the population
was left-handed. Modern left-handed
people he looks at askance as a kind
of reversion to stone age manners, as
remnants of a variety of homo sapiens
in process of extinction.
the characteristics of left-handed
people as a whole give them, in his
eyes, an unfavorable. even a degen-
crate aspect, and he pours ridicule on
the attempt to revert to the ambi-
dexterity of monkey times. which is
now attempted in our training schools.

1 From Leslie's Weekly. a
THE widespread interest TN the ma
tional pastime and the fact that both
men and women understand the most
intricate plays of the game have
caused many clergymen to preach
sermons in which baseball was used
as part of the subject matter. The
best sermon of this character was de-
livered recently by Rev. Warren P.
Coon, pastor of the Union Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, of New
ark, n. j., and his text was. Our
National Came" Mr.. Coon, among
other things. said that the devil plays
third base in the baseball game of
life and is striving constantly to cut
off the Christian runners endeaVoring
TO reach home in safety. The clergy
man, he suggested, occupies a posi-
ton similar to the pitcher and using
the gospel as the baseball he en-
deavors to deliver it with accuracy
and with no fumbling.
Team work in the congregation Is
absolutely necessary for success he
said, land once a player gets on base
he is compelled to use patience, skill
and perseverance to reach his goal.
No matter how fast one can run and
no matter how far he plays of base
in an effort to reach home, the evil
force (who has an enviable fielding
record) is on third base ready and
anxious TO tag out the runner. Many
die at that point"
Last of all, God is the umpire, and
His decisions are final" The sermon
was brimful of truths and had the
punch that carried with it convic-
ton and greatly pleased the crowd
of worshippers and fans who heard

Bernhardt and the Legion.

From the New York Sun.
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt's friends and
admirers in this country will join
with her compatriots In sincere con-
gratulations on her enrolment as a
member of the Legion of Honor. This
distinction is known to have been
Nine. Bernhardt's ambition for the
past sixteen years. The refusal of it
has caused her a good deal of
chagrin. That the honor is well de-
served is beyond question 1t may be
objected that it was better deserved
years ago before Nine. Bernhardt ac-
CURED propensity to sacrifice art to
sensationalism. Nevertheless, when
criticism has done its worst, the fact
remains that she can claim rightful
place as one of the great actresses of
the world, not less by reason of her
strange personality than by consum-
mate knowledge of her art.

Minimum Wage for women.

From Hnrper's Weekly.
The famous Oregon case in the
United States Supreme Court estab-
lished the principle that the people of
state have a right to make special
legislation protecting women in In
dustry. If 1t is constitutional to de-
mand that women shall not be forced
to work more than certain hours in
certain industries ii must be consti-
tutional if the law has any sense in
II, to establish a minimum wage for
women, for IL would be a feeble per-
Torrance to cut down their hours and
then allow their wages to be cut
down accordingly. The case OF
Stettler versus O'Hara and others
will come up before the Supreme
Court soon and will settle the ques-
ton of q minimum wage for women.
The defendants in the case are the
Industrial Welfare Commission of
Oregon. In the Circuit Court Judge
election decided in favor of the con-
stitutionality of the act of the com
mission in establishing the minimum
wage of 1854 per week for women
employed in manufacturing establish
ments in the city of Portland The
world Is beginning to realize the loss
that comes to it through poverty and
the resulting disease, crime, inn
morality and inefficiency. The COM
munity pays indirectly for the dis
astrous results far more than 1t
would cost directly in wages.

Robinson crusoe in the Movies.

FROM the Manchester Guardian.
The kinematograph reproduction of
"Crusoe" contains many daring varia-
tons from what one may term the
authorized version. For example, we
see Man Friday devouring bananas
with gusto, and one juvenile critic
exclaimed with horror: Father, he d
no bananas! Robinson Crusoe gave
him raisins." Then. too, the single
footprint in the sand becomes a long
track of footprints. and as Robinson
Crusoe hunts along them he is re-
duced to the low level of Sherlock
Holmes.
But who. except a acknowledgement
producer, would have thought of de-
grading Robinson Crusoe by intro
ducing love interest? The captain
who rescues Crusoe from the island is
provided with a beautiful daughter
in an eNcellently cut costume. We
see Robinson Crusoe on the home
ward voyage making eyes at the girl
on the quarterback, while Man Fri
Gays father acts as chaperon. On
another occasion, Man Fridays father
weeps as he looks on the sea in which
his son is buried, and Crusoe and
his flame do the sentimental, sympa-
thetic business behind him. And

Morality and Wages.
ha Omaha Roo

From the Omaha Bee.
Now that the country is somewhat
sobered from the effects of it's hys-
terra and delusion over the idea of
meagre wages causing all the moral
delinquency among girls and women,
1t may be able to appreciate the force
of the finding at Kansas City, where
woman expert, making an investi
cation for the welfare board, discoy-
ers almost no direct relation between
such immortality and income. In fact,
she says her Investigations have con-
WINGED her that morality should cut
no figure whatever in a demand for
better wages. Similar inquiries in
other cities lead to similar conclu-
sions. But the gravest wrong lies
not in the false assumption so much
as in its unjust imputations. In the
first place, it Is grossly wrong to as
sumo that a level of low wages to
girls implies immortality. AS has al
ready been said, it is unjust TO thou
sands of good, honorable working girls
and women.
1t was blunderbuss reasoning to af-
firm that the question of wages is
wholly moral question instead of a
mainly economic one. Whatever
problems are here involved cannot
possibly be solved by reckoning from
the wrong basis, for we never reach
right conclusions from false premises.

Tons of Striped Bass Float Into Pond
and Enrich Town.
PARKERSHEAD, Jan. 19.-Striped
bass, tons of them, and all free for
the labor of gathering them up, have
been the fortune of this little village
for the last week. Hundreds of dol
lars have poured into the pockets of
the men and boys. During the colu
snap big school of bass, evidently
looking for warmer water, came into
the harbor here, passed through a
dam and into an old ice pond. The
swift current at the dam keeps a
large area of the, pond free from ice,
but the water was so cold that the
fish were benumbed and fioated.
Boys discovered them and soon
scores OF men in boats set to work
picking them up. The fish ranged in
size from two to ten pounds and were
shipped to New York.

BOSTON, Jan. 19.-Frank T.,
Lakey, of the commercial department
of the English High School has been
investigating the hour OF the day, the
month of the year, and the year of
their youth when boys and girls are
at their best-or worst-mentally and
physically. He says that parents
should make their appeals to boys
at 10 o'clock in the morning any day
in January or early in February and
when the youth has reached the age
of sixteen. The net results in mental
and physical improvement will be
greater than at any other time chos-
en-, he says.
-Four o'clock in the afternoon
should be avoided. as well as the
months of March, April and October,
for boys and girls are at their worst,
mentally and physically, at that time.
The best boy is at his maximum at
10 and II in the morning and at the
corresponding hour in the evening,
The bad boy is at his minimum at
8 and in the afternoon. The mental
life predominates in January and
February.
