Rabbi NietO on the Tango

Rabbi Nieto to an audience in San
Francisco Sunday defended the tango.
He declared that that form OF, the
modern dance when INDUCED in by
refined persons is "pleasingly beauti-
full" but when indulged in by the
awkward" is vulgar"
1t is of little importance that the
distinguished rabbi has defended the
tango. 1t would have been of little i'm
portance had he along with the great
majority of those who preach con-
demned the tango.
But his concluding statement is
worthy of thought.
"What we need" he said, "is more
common sense and less theoloo,-
In this era when we are prone to
condemn only because it is apparently
popular to condemn, or praise because
it is apparently popular to praise,
when our every action in public life
seems to be dependent on what the
majority of people might think of that
action" the cry for common sense
rule is most timely.
The politician follows the clamor of
the majority of the people. The
statesman is distinguished by his in
dependence of action. The one is
guided through his idea of eXpediency;
the other by his idea of what is right
and wrong.

THE sNow-LOyING PEACH

From the Chicago Journal.
An American naturalist two years age
trought to this country some seedlings
OF a peach tree which he found grow
ing in Tibet, at an elevation of $500
feet above sea level. 1t is expected
that this tree can be trusted to beaI
fruit in New England clear up to the
Canadian border.
If these hopes are realized, the peach
tree will have undergone a marvellous
transformation. When first brought tc
Europe, about three centuries before
the Christian era, it would not riper
fruit north of the Island of Rhodes
This island Is at the extreme south
ern edge of the Aegean sea, and has
q climate much like that of southern
California-with less liability to frost
Those first peaches were tender as a
navel orange. This Chinese variety is
hardy as a northern apple.
Such history gives a new notion OF
mans power TO remake the food pro-
ducing part of the world to suit him.
self. But think of the two and twenty
centuries consumed in the process
