Christianity Militant.

In the vivid pageant presented last
week on Fifth avenue by the dele
gates to the Christian Endeavor con-
ventIon and In the picturesque ses-
sion OF children held in the Seventy
first Regiment Armory as an Incl
dent OF the convention lay the refuta.
tion of good many misconceptions
concerning religious life in the
United States. The thousands of
delegates to the convention, repre-
senting the solid and enduring ele-
ments of American character. were
drawn from every section Of the ma
ton. and their attitude toward things
spiritual Is of tremendous importance
to the wellbeing Of the country.
In the pose of the Christian En-
deavorers there was nothing Of the
mollycoddle. nothing Of apology,
nothing of that defiance characters

parents OF bapy leopard born Satur-
day in the Bronx Zoo 1t was with a
good deal of pride that B. E. Rudolph,
chairman Of the group from across the
Delaware. made this announcement,
which was received with cheers from
the spotted animals godmothers and
godfathers.
The baby leopard was born just as
our delegates entered Central Park dur
ing Saturdays parade" Mr.. Rudolph
said. "and our godchild's name will be
here with you to take care Of"
The last days programme of the con-
vention. which included a celebration in
honor of the fortieth anniversary of the
founding of the society by the Rev.
Francis f. Clark, who has continued as
it's president was devoted to the intro
helped to make the gathering a success.
The chairman OF each''of the State dele
cations present was called upon for a
one minute speech. These were mostly
about the work of the various societies
in the Union
The Rev r. b. Fisher of Iowa sug-
gested in his brief talk that the organi-
cation adopt the following slogans
MAKE the movies moral" Bury booze
TO the bottom" "Save the sacred Sab
BATH" Doom the Indecent dance and
the divorce" Help restore the Scrip
lures to the schools" and Teach our
fellow citizens to learn liberty and 10y
atty to the laws of the land and to
Cod"
The convention adopted resolutions
:'commendng to the societies everywhere
the work of Near East relief and "urg-
ing Congress and the President and the
lawmaking authorities of all the other
countries we represent to seek the I'm
mediate and permanent relief and pro-
lection of the suffering peoples Of Ar
menia and other oppressed Bible lands
of the Near East"
The resolutions sympatAized with the
movement for wholesome Federal censor
ship Of moving pictures and applauded
pending Congressional measures for the
independent departments Of education
and public welfare, each with a secre-
tary in the Cabinet of the President.
The convention went on record as
against tolerating the presence of any
teacher in the public schools who sneers
at Christianity or makes a jest of the
Holy Bible.

DR.. Dumba's Historical Error.

DR.. DUMBA, who served the Austro-
Hungarian Empire as Ambassador in
the United States until his recall was
requested by our Government, has
published in the Vienna Neue Freie
PreSse an article on American affairs
in the course of which he says.
LAS logical corollaries of the Mon
roe Doctrine we had Europe for the
Europeans and Asia for the Ash
atics Washington has been gener-
ally consistent in observing this prin-
ciple, although the annexation of the
Philippines by ROOSEVELT the I'm
peralist is an exception"
An error of historical fact COM
mitted by hasty or obscure COM
mentator on public affairs and inter
national relations would merit little
notice, but when such a mistake is
made by diplomat of experience in
a pretentious article involving the
recent history of nation in which
he has lived officially for years, as
DR.. DUMBA lived in the United States,
it deserves correction.
Sovereignty over the Philippines
passed to the United States from
Spain under the Treaty of Paris, ne
gotiated by the peace commissioners
appointed by President MCKINLEY,
and the transaction was completed
in 1899, while Colonel ROOSEVELT was
serving the first year of his term as
Governor of New York. Colonel
ROOSEVELT did indeed recognize the
compulsory logic of events which en-
trusted to us the guardianship of the
Philippines, and, man of sense and
courage that he was, he opposed the
policy Of scuttle in the Pacific which
was advocated by some persons in
this country. But the decision was
President McKINLEY's.
The circumstances of this episode
should be familiar to DR.. DUMRA,
because President MCKINLEY was
supported in his decision not only
by Colenel ROOSEVELT but by another
American, a pacifist bearer of mill
tary title, with whom DR.. DUMBA, to
his own cost, was later intimately
associated. That individual was
WILLIAM j. BRYAN, Secretary of State
in President WILSON'S Administra-
tion, whose assurance that the United
States was not in earnest in its pro-
tests against invasion of its rights
as a. neutral nation DR.. DUMBA has
tened to send to the German Impe-
rial Foreign Office by messenger
whom he believed to be safe and
sure but whose papers were ac-
quired by British agents and never
reached their destination.

Singing for Health.
Discovery Of Paris Professor Long
Known in New York.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Nothing
is new under the sun. We only take
as news certain things that have es-
forgotten.
1t was very interesting to read in
your paper that Professor Frossard OF
the Sorbonne in Paris has discovered
that singing in good company Is a very
good kind of cureaIl
The ancient Greeks practised this
idea and they thought so much of IL
that they made it an inherent part OF
their educational system.
This comedies also with the views of
DR.. Henry van Dyke, who In n letter
written about five years ago says that
choral singing in good company Is not
only an amusement but also a stimulant
and a tonic.
What Professor Frossard fails to tell
us is that what is truly beneficial IL not
the mere performance of singing but
the spirit with which the action is per-
formed.
Since its origin the Peoples Liberty
Chorus has been trying TO propagate the
right idea In New York city. A great
many people, men and women, haze
benefited from its meetings. They are
held all the year round In the audito-
rum OF the High School OF Commerce.
every Monday and Thursday evening.
and everybody who loves to sing is
welcome to join.
Young people especially ought to be
only for the musical advantages that
they afford but also as a unique pre-
ventive cure for the preservation OF
health of .he mind and of the, body.

TO GAUGE DEcENcY OF PLAYS
License Commissioners Wants Legal
Standard to Measure Them.

The annual report of John r. Gli-
christ, Commissioner of Licenses. to
Mayor Hylan. made public yesterday, in
cludes recommendation that illegal
standard by which the decency or mo-
rality of plays" may be measured be
provided for the guidance Of the depart
ment in it's supervision over theatres and
motion picture houses. The report also
explained that while the license fee fos
motion picture theatre seating more
than 600 is only s25, the fee for house
seating less than that number is $l0O
and asked that the laws be changed tc
correct the discrepancy

succulent roots, which materially aid
the flow of milk.
In regions of the West where there
is an abundance of range it is the Gus
tom to SOW catch crops for summer
forage, giving a rest to the regular
pastures and affording the native
grasses a chance to renew their vi
tality. Rotation of pastures has been
found an effective solution of the
problem of summer stock feeding
also, care being taken not to over
load the land.
The practice of using chain har-
row to distribute manure evenly over
the surface Of pastures has been
proved to work we'll. 1t is employed
on most of the successful farms Of
the country and has increased the
fruitfulness of the ground:
1t is not generally known that cat
tie must be kept on land which is in
tended for the run of horses. Land
will deteriorate rapidly If horses
alone are pastured there, and for this
reason the progressive breeders of
thoroughbreds and trotters keep GER
tain number of steers in their fields.
The term horse poor" is often ap-
piled to land where horses have been
kept exclusively for long time. The
result is seen in the size and quality
of the stock and in the prevalence at
times Of diseases, such as big head,
which are not encountered when
proper precautions are taken in pas
turing steers with the horses.

Changes in Broadway.
Drug Stores Come and Saturday
Night Table d'HOte Crowds Go.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: One
cannot but notice the increase in the
number of drug stores not only in New
York but in many other cities, large
and small, adjacent to the metropolis.
A few years ago there used to be
quoted some doggerel running about
like this,
Hush. little barroonn. don't you cry,
You'll be nice little drug store by and by;
and present happenings certainly go far
toward making things look that way.
In Broadway and what used to be
the good old White Light district many
changes in customs are apparent The
Knickerbocker has drug store. Clar-
idge's has a confectionery. The Garden
restaurant is gone and so Is Churchill's
The famous hunting room of the Astor
is being remodelled into stores. The
Martinique. Imperial and Marlborough
have converted their former cafe space
into stores for other purposes.
Many of the famous old table d'hote
resorts now close at 10 o'clock at night,
some even earlier. The good old Sat-
urday night crowds at the popular res
taurants are gone. Instead of the
former hilarity and excitement diners
seem to regard eating as a duty and
hence eat plain dishes.
Chop houses have benefited thereby,
as these places never served fancy
dishes. Formerly very few. IL any, of
the fair sex invaded these havens of
| rest and good cheer, for many of these
! establishments used to give notice that
| there were no accommodations for
| women. Now they are crowded nightly
with persons Of both sexes. A trip
| about the district referred to at night
now gives one an uncanny feeling, some
| thing akin to walking about a country
village after dark.
Clubs are faring no better. although
the stewards of many report an in
crease in the number of diners. They
say this is due to the desire to meet
fellow members and have company dur
| ing the dinner hour. Most clubs have
always lost money on the running OF
their restaurants, the only departments
showing a profit generally being bar
billiards, cigars and rooms
Club cafes are now pathetic looking
/
places, and many OF them are wonder
ing what to do with the unused space
Only one club that I know of around
New York had the foresight to keep Its
well stocked wine cellars intact and tc
evolve plan whereby its members
could partake OF tho contents when sc
inclined. This particular club was al.
ways famed for its cuisine and win.

to conceive OF its continued existenc'
as a dry organization.
There must be a big profit in tn,
