SOCIAL DANCE HALL
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Blaze Discovered at O'Clock Yes
terday Morning; Loss Is
$500.

The Social dance hall. situated at tho
street car junction between Midyale and
Sandy, was burned to the ground esrly
yesterday morning. The origin of the fro
is unknown, but two distinct theories are
being worked upon by the mana cement
One Is that The fire started from a cigar
cite, carelessly thrown aside by some por-
son who. previously in tho evening. had
been enjoying the ball given by tho Muir
ray firemcn, and the second is that some
persons purposely set the structure on
fire.
The reason given for the second theory
is that several people are said TO have
been objccting shenuously TO the dances
held in the hall.
The loss IS estimated at $500 The
building was insured for $1,000 Musico
instruments valued at sl65 also were de-
Stroyed.
The Murray firemcn held their annual
ball In the hall Saturday night and a

seem to bring IT into touch with our
present subject.
Those who think the present sit

will be permanent make an assump-
ton discredited both by historical evi-
deuce and by the Darwinlan theory.
1t is historically evident that periods
Of eXuviatlon recur at intervals. Com

they seem interminable, but they are
always limited in their duration.
Sooner or later institutional order Is
re-established; authority is effectively
asserted and the individual Is brought
under discipline. AS st. Augustine

the occasion of a closer study Of doc

AS matters stand, ii is evident there
is great variety of religious belief
and that further variation is taking
place. From the standpoint OF Dar-

Darwins phrase, "the struggle for en-
istences does not necessarily mean the
painful individual struggle Opulence
may be more fatal TO species than
scarcity, by giving uXUriance 10 in
dividual life at the expense OF the per-
petuation OF the species. As regards
the human species Darwin says "un-
favorable physical conditions appear
to have had but little effect" No
creed or doctrine or system of ethical
culture has made Its appearance in
centuries of experiment that can com

PASTOR CR|T|C|SES
CITY COMMISSION
Dismissal of Glenn Is Com
mented Upon by the Rev.
Mr.. Bowerman.

Tho Rev. Louis s Bowerrnan OF the
Irnrnanuel Baptist church based his ser
mon last night on the charge that the
altitude of the city commissioners IN
accepting tho resignation OF Hugh Il.
Glenn, formerly OF the police department,
without giving the public what he
deemed a sufficient explanation. was AN
Indirect invitation to the lawless element
TO gain control OF the police.
The Rev. Mr.. Bowerman explainec
that he had no desire TO criticisc the CITY
commissioners, but that from the state
meut Of the chief Of police following
Glcnn's dismissal. he Iaid he was led
10 believe Glenn had been discharged
despite the fact that he had done MS
duty. The Rev Mr.. Bowerman took as
the text for his sermon. because Thon

In the papers OF our city during

OF one who Is supposed to have lost

moral and material upllft. We have
read the interviews with much inter
est. We are glad for Mr. Glenn
letter and for Chief Grants lhoorse
ment of the fsithfulness on the part
of this man In the discharge OF his
duty.
Chief Grant can do no less and be
true TO himself and those under him
The letters have put our commits

not have purposed II So but they
have practically said. III enough
pressure is brought to bear either
directly or indirectly against the em.
ployees OF our city for the sake OF
supposed peace. we Will let them so:
In other words, accept their resiena-
tion." In the face OF these letters,
with the explanations which do not
explain, the commissioners are placed
In the light OF refusing to stand be-
hind and support man who was
doing his duty and trying to enforce
the law
This attitude is an indirect invita-
ton to the lawless element TO gain
control OF the police OF our city: An
explanation that is an explanation is
due the moral element OF our city.
Commercial prosperity Is good, but
prosperity so-called, not based on the
highest morality Is in the course OF
time a curse TO any city or people.
We say these things not because OF
Mr.. Glenn, because we do not know
him. but we are interested in the So
clal life OF the community and In the
protection OF our young men and
women and the strangers who come
within.
God exercises the recall again and
again In this life. He is every day

changing,
