THINKS WE'RE TURN
ING TO SAVAGE STATE

Robert Morrison, editor of the
Greenville Independent, has been in
the newspaper game long enough so
that he does not lose his balance
through and ordinary shock, but in
his time he has been Of an observing
nature an after reviewing the pa
rade of people who pass his place
daily, he writes the following relative
to the trend toward return to saw
agery.
when the writer was several years
younger than he is at the present
time, and quite brand new in the
writing game, he brought forth what
he considered a most wonderful arti-
Gle on the theory that society was a
sort of circular affair. From a high
state of civilization we proceeded
around the circle to savagery and
then, continuing. we came again to
more perfect social state, and that
there was always a movement from
one state to another. He has won
dered since then if there was not a
good deal more to the proposition
than mere words. There is always
an element that wants to tear down
the established order; we have them
in large numbers in this country, and
may it not be possible that in time
they will attract enough people to
their ideas to overthrow our present
civilization? Who knows but that
some day America will again be the
home of savages, roaming through
forests, hunting and fishing as once
the Indians did Men who study
such things say that we Americans
are beginning to resemble the Indians
more and more. 1t is fact that we
are beginning to adopt a great many
savage ways. To great extent the
country is getting to an each-man-
forIhimself state. There is q grow
ing warfare between dlasses that does
not augur well for the future. The
close observer notices a change too
in our music. We hear in it's meas
ures the tom tom of the savage, and
our former stately dances are being
succeeded by. the interpretative and
other modern forms Of dances that
approach the performances of what
we call primitive peoples. In reading
description of the dance among
emi-savages. We are informed that
the dancers kept time by Struggling
the shoulders and working the elbows
backword and forward" This is
rather on the order of the modern
"shimmy". Among savage people
the dancers are not noted for the
superabundance of their clothing, and
if we are correctly informed the dan
GERS in the cities are shedding con-
siderable of their wardrobe when
they dance, in order to allow freer
movements of the body. On the mo-
dern stage while the dancers are not
yet appearing without clothing, they
are getting as near to it as the law
will allow and there is no telling what
a day will bring forth. All of this in
dicates an unrest and longing to
throw off the restraint of convention
and laws. and who knows but what it
means the beginning of the end Of
the present state of civilization ?"

worlds records and titles had an easy
time of II, taking the measure of his

Illinois A. C. of Chicago. LANCER moved
into the lead soon after the start. main

five yards to spare when he touched the

Honolulu's great swimmer had a much
harder struggle in annexing first prize
In the two hundred yard handicap race.
The swimmer who compelled him to
extend himself was James w. Hall of
the Central Y. NJ. c. A. Of Brooklyn, to
whom LANCER conceded an allowance of
three seconds. Hall, who Is the newly
crowned ten mile champion. kept IN
front of LANCER until both entered the
last lap. Here the Hawaiian's powerful
sprint carried him to a two yard VIC
tory.
Harold Kruger, a specialist In back
stroke racing from Honolulu, scored in
impressive fashion. His only opponent
was Henry Giebel of the New York

Mr.. Hatfield was elected a member OF

Another test faces the combined track
team of oxford and Cambridge at Trav-
ers Island to-day, test in which they
hope TO redeem themselves for their
rather decisive defeat at the hands of
the Yale-Harvard athletes at the Har-
ward Stadium last Saturday. The Brit
fish collegians have been working hard
for several days at Princeton in prepara-
tion for this afternoons meet, in which
they are to be opposed by the pick of
the Cornell and Princeton track and
field athletes. They are said to be in
excellent condition and determined to
force their opponents to near record per-
formances to win.
The Americans appear to be very cor
ident of victory. and they probably have
reason to be. for the combined forces Of
Cornell and Princeton are rated as
strong as the Yale-Harvard squad that
won SO impressively at the Stadium.
But regardless of the chances of the
British team to win. the meet is certain
to furnish an athletic treat that thou
sands will take advantage of. 1t will
be remembered that the meet at Cam
bridge last Saturday developed one
worlds record performance and several
that threatened records seriously.
One of the best tussles of the day is
expected In the quarter mile run, in
Wnlcn Billy stevenson Oh fTlnCetOu Will
engage Beryl G. d. Rudd, captain Of
the visiting team. while in the half Rudd
has a very fast man to beat in Charley
Carter of Cornell. The sprint promises
to be fully as close as the dash in the
Harvard Stadium. Abrahams of Cam
bridge will have to be at his best to
beat McKim of Princeton, one Of tho
best sprinters in the United States.
The New York Athletic Club has made
extensive preparations to handle a large
gathering of the sports devotees. and
only favorable weather is needed to
make the event a splendid success.
