A Challenge to Greater Activity


Editor Kennebec Journal:
I read with much interest the ad-
dress Of Senator Ralph o. Brewster,
before the State Sunday school con-
vention and the editorial comment on
it.
All sober, clear thinking people
agree that there should be more rellg-
ious instruction for the youth OF our
day. 1t is a challenge to greater &C
tivity for our churches and Sunday
schools to extend their influence and
service in their respective> localities,
a call for greater effort|to encourage
public worship. Any society should
help us to understand our fellow
creatures better, should make us
broader minded, more sympathetic.
more tolerant. Societies are abund-
ant, from Christmas Present clubs to
our great fraternities which recog-
nize an cover Ruling Power" and
encourage "Brotherly Love-" They
boast that their teachings and les
sons are taken from the Bible. This
being allowed, can any of these Or
CARNATIONS fill the place of public
worship. We may not agree in
every particular with the preacher.
We do not always agree in every par
ticular with those of our own family,
yet we do not necessarily make 1T q
point for contention. There is bond
Of unity in singing together joining
in the responsive services and open
ing our hearts to the Eternal Spirit
with others in the same place at the
same time. The Bible school contin-
ually opens new avenues of thought
as we study its histories, it's heroes,
its human Interpretation of Divine
Will.
1t is not always possible to attend
public worship. The church can help
the homes by supplying suitable lit
erature, Home Department quarter
lies. papers and Cradle Roll material.
To come back to the schools. Why
should 1t be necessary to excuse the
children for part of a session and
send them to different churches for
instruction? Are there not funda-
mentals that can be agreed upon by
all? This Is an age when creeds sink
into insignifcance. The intelligent
mind recognizes an over-ruling Spirit,
which we call God. We are taught
that He requires us to deal justly, to
love mercy and to walk humbly be-
fore Him, Mic. SIS; that the fruits of
the spirit are love, JOY, peace, long
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness. temperance. Gal. 5:22;
that we are to think on things that
are true. honest, just. pure. lovely
and of good report, Phil. AS.
The quiet period at the beginning of
the school day, of the past has left
its imprint on thousands of us, who
are now bearing the responsibilities
of life. Why isn't it possible for rep
resentative persons of different faiths
to agree on certain portions of the
Bible, to be read in our schools; to
use the Lords Prayer: some of our
finest hymns; and quotations from
our best authors, calculated to teach
principles, which adorn human life,
strengthen character and show our
relation to Divine Power.

Governor Pinchot declares it would
be simple matter to have the per-
mits to manufacture. transport, store
or use alcoholic liquids as rascal
proof as the income tax provisions
against tax lodging. This is good
as far as it gees. All the wisdom
attainable ought to be found useful.
We guess it will be needed. But
even if this would operate as he ex-
poets what would be done to prevent
manufacture, transportation and
smuggling of liquor for which the
Government issues no permits?
That is an important part of the
problem awaiting solution and much
of success depends on the aid

BALLROOM EXHAUSTION

As for those whose idea of entertainment is
watching exhausted dancers dragging themselves
around ballroom floor to the accompaniment of in
terminable strains from exhausted orchestra,
Lincoln would say, that is about the sort of thing
they would like. And for the human automatoms
submitting to such slow torture from over-eXertion
and loss of sleep, perhaps is too much to expect
them not to indulge in such purposeless squanderng
of strength long managers and public will pay
them for their fooshness
1t seems pity, nevertheless, to degrade dancing,
which at its best is fine art to such sordd exhbi-
tion. The purpose of dancing is enjoyment esthetc
pleasure to performers and spectators. In this sort
of dancing there be nothing but suffering
side and morbid enjoyment of suffering the other.
Even if we call dancing sport rather than
art there be for such specacles especi
ally when the contestants girls 1t is we'll known
that prolonged physical strain of any kind is always
perilous to trained male athletes. 1t is to
be more so in the of young women, less fitted
than men for physical endurance tests and usually
without the personal and the knowledge that
company regular athletic contests
One of the girls in recent dancing marathon
in Baltimore went insane the floor from the in
tolerable strain. In the of nearly every
gagng in this competition it is safe say that
the result will surely show later, in weak
ened heart frazzled and other troubles phys
ical and mental.

BETTER IMMIGRANTS

The immigration quota law is beginning to show
of the good results predicted when it was framed
The commissioner of immigration reports a marked
improvement in the type of immigrant coming to
America. preponderance of Anglo-Saxon and Scan
dinavian people is noticeable, while the hordes from
Mediterranean countries who presented greatest
alien problem have been checked.
An interesting bit of evidence along this line is
seen in the recent arrival of 100 Scandinavian farm
ers with their wives and children, bound for the farm
lands of the northwest and with letters of credit total
ing more than $1,000000.
1t always takes time for the benefits of any
change of policy to show The difficulties of adjust

INDIAN REPUBLIC
TN LAST STAND
In NC. MOUNTAIN

RALEIGH, n. c., April. 2s.--
High in the heart Of the Great
Smoky mountains Of North Carolina
the last of the once powerful Cher
okee Indian nation has set up an
Indian Republic.
Hemmed in on all sides Of the
Great Smoky range of the Appal-
achians. the remnants of what was
once one Of the strongest Indian
tribes in North America have estab-
lished their own government on a
$4,000 acre reservation set aside by
the United States.
A chief, selected at intervals
from the leaders of the tribe, heads
the Indian government.
Independent Of State
The Indian rule is practically in
dependent of the state and federal
governments. State officials take
no part in the administration of
justice by the Indians, as long as
their government does not conflict
with existing laws.
The Indians are descendants of q
small tribe of Cherokees who re.
fused to accept exile from their
mountain homes when the Cherokee
Nation surrendered its lands east Of
the Mississippi and migrated to Ok.
lahoma in 1885.
Their farms are still titled with
the help of oxen and their, business
transactions are carried out in the
manner of a half century ago.
Recently, however, schools and
agricultural colleges have been cs.
tablished and highway from Knox
Vile, Tenn, across the Great Smoky
range and thence to the Atlantic
coast is expected to throw open the
Indian territory to further devel-
opmeut. r..
