Opinions of Great Papers on important Subjects.
The Methodists and Amusemenls.
HE question as to what amusements may be
permitted to the members of the Methodist Epis
copal Church is one that has caused more dis
cussion in church circles than possibly any oth
er. "Times change , and men's manners and
customs change with them , " is an old and a
true proverb. It is also true that this change
in manners and customs and the inevitable change as it
how they are viewed is , as active in the churches as any
where else. It is to this steady shifting of ideals and
opinions that the question remains perennial with the
.Methodists.
In the early Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in America , the whole matter was dismissed in a
prohibition to members against "taking such diversions
as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus. " But
along in the decades about the middle of the test century
the inevitable broadening of ideas due to the rapid increase
in population , the change from solitary rural life to the
hurry and bustle of the city all were liberalizing ten
dencies. Especially in the cities , Methodists in good stand
ing indulged in amusements , etc. , which were looked upon
with horror by the more conservative , and hence more
strict members in the country , especially the elder genera
tion. But the liberals argued that they were well within
the prohibition of the Discipline , and that there was no loss
of true religion to themselves.
It became evident that the clause in the Discipline
needed amendment ; that the church must authoritatively
specify what things could not be permitted to the Meth
odist laity. The change was made by the General Con-
Serence of 1S72. The paragraph which has stood since then
< leals with conduct , and expressly forbids among othei
things , "the buying , selling or using intoxicating liquors
cs a beverage. " and "dancing , playing at games of chance ,
attending theaters , horse races , circuses , dancing parties
or patronizing dancing schools , or taking such other amuse
ments as are obviously of misleading or questionable moral
tendency , " etc.
But tns ! did not end the controversy. In very many
churches , this regulation has become a dead letter. Methodist -
odist members attend theaters , visit circuses , send their
children to dancing schools and play card games in their
homes : and they do not fuel that they thereby commit any
-sin. That is to say , they do not admit that the church
has a right-to prohibit any line of conduct that is not sin
ful ; and feeling that these things are not , they ignore the
jprecept. The matter was all threshed over again at the
.recent General Conference in Los Angeles. Toledo Blade.
The Question of the Battleship.
ERETOFORE , when the public spoke 'of bat
tleships , the breath was bated and there was.
a gleam in the eye that boded the kindling of
destructive pride. Some spirited souls even
went so far as to lift the hat when one of our
$ n ivj's ornaments was named , but something
has happened. It has become dangerous to
refer to America as sailing the seas like a battleship. We
.hate to think of the ship of state as armored and carrying
12-inch guns. We cannot even remember that famous line ,
"She seems to feel the thrill of life along her keel , "
without sympathetic shudders.
The reason is as follows. Cesarevitch , 13,110 tons , dis

It is told that the unfortunate Admiral Makaroff dis
approved of battleships on the ancient ground of "all your
eggs in one basket. " The admiral is dead and a battleship
holds his body , a battleship which sank within two minutes -
utes after a submarine was exploded under it. There are

SOLC1ER3 OF THE CZAR.
The uniform of the Russian soldier
Is the simplest uniform in Europe. In
winter a sheepskin coat goes on be
neath the gray one. In summer , or
during campaigns in hot climates , the
Russians , like the Japanese , fight in
white dress. To critics who say that
this renders them needlessly conspicu
ous , they reply that it is better than
' khaki ; for a man dressed in earth color -
or imagines himself invisible , and be-
.haves accordingly. lie gets shot ;
-whereas the man who knows he can
'be seen keeps under cover and comes
off with a whole skin. A writer in the
Boston Transcript describes the sol
diers of the Czar as follows :
The Russian campaigner marches
.somewhat heavily laden. He has his
kit-bag with clothing slung over one
.shoulder , his haversack with two days'
rations of bread and salt slung over
the other , his greatcoat strapped under
one arm. Including his water bottle ,
.arms and ammunition , a section of tent
.and the uniform he stands in , he car
ries something over sixty-six pounds.
"The advantage which offsets the burden -
-den Is that at a pinch the Russian
foot-soldier is practically independent
-of a baggage train. He can transport
his modest' necessities upon his own
back.
The Russian cavalryman rides so
'laden with cornsacks and blankets
.and greatcoats and wallets and saddle
bags and things that he puts one in
mind of the much incumbered White
Knight in "Alice in Wonderland. " Al
together his impedimenta weigh 119
pounds. Fortunately what would op
press another soldier is no burden to
the Russian. He is sturdiness itself.
Russian soldiers have been known to

of Russian military discipline. But

The American people are prone to ask questions when
things happen. Something has happened. The colored
pictures of our navy are singularly uninspiring just at
present , and we desire to know why. If we cannot find out
why , we , at least , wish to be sure that something was
really wrong. So there is the question in the air. How
much is a $0,000,000 battleship worth ? If a Japanese cor
poral's guard ( or the naval equivalent of the body ) can
tike a rowboat , a cap pistol , and a torpedo and sink bat
tleships , we desire to be allowed to look on , and possibly
make a small bet on our own prospects. Further , some
would like to know just how we are going to keep the upper
hand if our battleships won't battle against the enemy's
torpedoes. We are in a state of doubt San Francisco
Argonaut.
Chinese Exclusion.
T is expected that the new treaty regulating
the admission of Chinese into the United States ,
now in preparation , will permit certain China
men , not of the coolie class , who are now ex
cluded , to enter the country. Under the exist
ing exclusion law , Chinese laborers are pro
hibited from coming to or remaining in the
United States. Registered Chinese laborers may leave the
country and return to it , under certain conditions , and
Chinese officials , teachers , students , merchants and travel
ers may come into the country when properly certified.
The law has been strictly construed by the Attorney-Gen
eral , who ruled that not all Chinese persons might enter
the country who were not specifically forbidden , but that
only those who are entitled to enter who are expressly
permitted to do so. The ruling excluded traders , salesmen ,
buyers , bookkeepers , accountants , managers , storekeepers ,
interpreters , physicians and agents. Persons falling within
these designations are not manual laborers , against whom
the exclusion law was particularly directed.
The classes excluded by the rulings are numerous , and
the new treaty may provide for the admission of some of
them. Our expanding trade with the East would doubtless
be stimulated by a more hospitable treatment of what may
be termed the Chinese mercantile and professional element.
A discreet extension of the privilege of entry could be per
mitted , it is believed , without injuriously affecting the wages
of labor. It is understood that the contemplated regula
tions apply to the admission of Chinese of the higher class
es and that there is no intention to admit coolies.
Whether provisions shall be made for use of Chinese
laborers in the construction of the Panama Canal is under
consideration , and the more extended use of Chinese labor
in the Philippines is urged by certain interests concerned in
the development of the possessions. Philadelphia Ledger.
The Price of Fame.
HEN one considers how much the people love
to be humbugged , it is surprising that there
are not more people engaged professionally in
the business. A man with a very brilliant mind
may make a brilliant address before a brilliant
audience , and there the brilliancy stops ; but
a man with a mind about the size of
a shriveled walnut , may talk a lot of nonsense to an au
dience of no or of average or unusual intelligence , and
immediately he becomes famous. An educator in a recent
religious meeting told a fairly intelligent audience that
dam-ing was thy closest approach to Paradise , and to-day
his name and theory is known from Maine to California. A
University of Chicago professor tells wherein Rockefeller
is superior to Shakspeare , and while the oil magnate mod
estly protests , the professor's mail is overwhelmed with re
quests for photographs and locks of his hair. A Harvard
professor , who teaches Slavic literature , and who is a
native of Russia , expresses the hope that his fatherland
will be defeated in the Eastern war , and he gets half a
column of attention , where his sensible utterances had
never won him more than very moderate attention. And
so , if a man must simply be foolish to become famous , is
it any wonder that almost everybody to-day is famous r
Baltimore Herald.
something better than severity goes to
make soldiers of Russian peasants ,
and that something is a powerful spir
it of camaraderie. A high Russian
officer does not hesitate to joke with
his men.
When the commanding officer meets
his troops for the first time in the
morning , he calls out cordially , "Good
morning ! " The men reply with a pe
culiar , long , rattling shout , "Your
good health , your excellency ! "
When a maneuver is executed to
the commander's satisfaction , he
shouts congratulations to the men , and
they respond all together , "We are
glad you like it. "
IS THE SUN HOT OR COLD ?
Sim and a Hot Stove Have the Same
Kiiid of Energy.
So far as I know , no reasons at all
for doubting the high temperature of
the central body of the solar system
have ever been found. There are in
general three distinct ways in which
heat can be transferred from one body
to another conduction , convection and
radiation. The first two are depend
ent upon the presence of matter , the
latter will take place across a perfect
vacuum. We may receive heat from
a stove by nil three methods. If we
place our hands upon it we receive
heat by conduction ; ifvi - hold them
above it they are warmed by convec
tion , the heat being brought to them
by the rising current of hot air. If
now we stand in front of the stove we
will feel its warmth , the sensation in
this case being produced by the heat
waves which it emits. These waves
are similar to the electric' ' waves used
in wireless telegraphy , differing from
them only iu their length. They bear
the same relation to them which the
ripples on a mill pond bear to the
Atlantic rollers. With the instru
ments at our disposal at the present
time we can measure the length of
these waves as accurately as we can
measure the length of a table with a
foot rule , and we can prove that they
will pass through a. vacuum , a plate
of glass or a tank full of liquid air ,
without losing their ability to warm
our hands. We find , however , that if
we pass this radiant heat through cer
tain substances , water vapor , for ex
ample , its intensity is diminished , ow
ing to the fact that some of the waves
have been absorbed. It is possible to
determine the exact length of the
waves of heat which have been re
moved by absorption in the vapor , and
if we test the radiation which comes to
us from the sun we find that waves
of this same length are absent , the
water vapor in the earth's atmosphere
having refused to transmit them. This
fact , taken alone , is pretty good evi
dence that the sun and the hot stove
are pouring out the same kind of en
ergy. Harper's Weekly.

Republican Tariff Plank.
Senator Aldrich says the Republ
cans will revise the tariff when it i
necessary to do so , but as the Scnato
manages the Republican tariff prc
gram and in turn is controlled by th
trusts , the time for revision is certai
to be in the distant future. Those o
us witli small incomes , at the mere ,
of high trust prices , have seen th
necessity for tariff reform ever sine
the combines boosted prices beyond th
ability of the poor man to pay. Th
Rockefeller group of industrial trusts
with whom Senator Aldrich is con
nected , will hardly consider it neces
sary to revise the tariff , unless" to raisi
it to a higher plane. The last Repub
lican platform for Iowa declared that
"Duties that are too low should be in
creased , and duties that are too higl
should be decreased. " That was th <
plank adopted to compromise the dif
ferences between Gov. Cummins ant
"the stand-patters , " so that each conk
point to it with pride. The followers
of Gov. Cummins who believe that tlu
tariff shelters trusts , could quote thai
part of the plank which promised that
if duties were too high and were fos
tering the trusts and allowing them tc
rob the Iowa farmers , the duties
would be reduced. The stand-patters ,
on the other hand , who proclaim thai
high duties bring prosperity , doubtless
feel that still higher duties would
bring about even greater prosperity.
But this juggling with words that gave
both factions a chance to approve the
platform did not lead to any revision
of the tariff by Congress and in fact
the Iowa delegation , led by Senator Al
lison , agreed to "let well enough
alone. " That is the trusts and corpo
rations had more influence with Con
gressmen than their constituents , for
Gov. Cummins , who believes in tariff
reform was elected by a large major
ity which shows that most of the people
ple of Iowa favored revision.
The Republican leaders are now try
ing to agree on tariff and trust planks
to be incorporated in the platform to
be adopted at Chicago and the same
juggling with words that will allow
both factions to stand on the platform
is certain to be presented to the vet
ers. Senators Aldrich and Lodge are
said to be preparing the planks , under
the close supervision of President
Roosevelt , and the voter that will not
be able to find what he wants will be
hard to please.
Yet the fact remains that the pro
tectionists and trust interests will
write the platform and also control the
action of the Republican national con
vention , and as every revision of the
tariff by the Republicans has resulted
in increasing duties , it is certain that
if the Republican party wins the elec
tion it will not be considered necessary
to revise the tariff , and more certain
that if any revision is attempted the
protection the trusts now enjoy will
be maintained. Dun's Index figures
for May show that high prices for all
the necessaries of life are still main
tained and yet wages are declining ,
with a vast number of workers unem
ployed and many imported industries
running on short time , and yet the high
tariff , which the Republicans declare
produces prosperity , is in full working
order. The price of many farm prod
ucts is falling and yet the cost of liv
ing shows but little , if any , decrease.
The beef trust , the coal trust , the salt
trust , the oil trust the sugar trust ,
and the minor combinations are paying
large dividends , fostered in most cases
by the protection the tariff gives
them.
It would seem , therefore , Senator
Aldrich to the contrary notwithstand
ing , the Republican national platform
should declare when the tariff will be
revised and if the revision shall pro
vide for higher or lower duties , espe
cially on trust products.
The Intelligent Farmer ,
Giving the farmers taffy before elec
tion and promising them legislation
that never was intended to material
ize , is a favorite game of the Republi
can leaders. It is therefore not an un
expected pleasure to read the first in
stallment of guff and bluff given out
by Hon. Joseph Weeks Babcock , chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Committee , in which he brings in the
"intelligent farmer" as the standby of
the G. O. P. Mr. Babcock says he has
implicit faith that the "intelligent
farmers" will vote the Republican
ticket for they have telephones in their
liouses and read the daily newspapers.
That Mr. Babcock really believes the
"intelligent farmer" will support the
party in league with the trusts and
corporations is doubtful , for he is evi-
iently much exercised , though he says
lie is not worrying over the outlook for
i Republican majority in the next Con
gress. Yet Mr. Babcock evidently is
ilanned about what the "intelligent
farmer" will do , for be also says : "It
seeps a member of Congress busy all
: he time to answer the questions they
isk him about public affairs. " Maybe ,
tvhen he gave out that interview , Mr.
Babcock was thinking of the uncom-
lortable questions that many of his
> wn constituents have been asking
lim about the charges of his too close
: onnection with the railroad corpora-
ions , the padding of the mails in the
nterest of those institutions and his
! ailuie to push his bill to reform the
; ariff schedule that shelters the steel
xust , though ho had declared the tar
iff must be reformed. Or , possibly , he
was thinking of the charges made by
Secretary Bristow that over 100 Re
publican Congressmen , including him
self , had been mixed up with the post-
oilice grafters , if not in league with
them.
The "intelligent farmer" who reads
the daily newspaper could hardly
have missed knowing about those
charges and a number of other scan
dals that Mr. Babcock and his party
are responsible for , and it is hardly
any wonder that it has kept those
members of Congress busy , as it has
i Mr. Babeock for he tolls us so explaining -
'
plaining and twisting and turning , to
answer the questions , of not only the
"intelligent farmer. " but to others of
his and their constituents.
No more favorable news for the
Democrats has been published than
this acknowledged interest the farm
ers are taking in public affairs. No
doubt they are inquiring about Repub
lican extravagance , about the enor
mous increase in price of what they
buy and the cause for it. They doubt
less want to know why the packers'
combine is paying less for cattle and
hogs and yet the price of meat to the
consumer is relatively higher than it
was. There is no end to the ques
tions that intelligent farmers will ask
candidates for Congress that will puz
zle the Republicans to evade , let alone
to answer. That is just what the Dem
ocrats want full and free discussion
and intelligent inquiry by all voters.
A Little Remembrance.
Big events at present scarcely grant
us an interval in which to notice mi
nor episodes. But there is often profit
in small things and it may pay us to
consider for a moment the adjourn
ment of the Republican Congress. Con
gress sought to sneak out unobserved
while great wars , the World's Fair
and other tremendous concerns occu
pied the fore ; and the attempt was
well-nigh successful. The difference
between Congress in session and out
of session is imperceptible anyhow ,
and except for the empty felicitations
and formalities iu both houses there
was nothing unusual to signify the
close.
Congress , however , leaves us a little
something by which to remember it
a deficit of $77,000,000 ; the appropria
tions for the coming fiscal year made
by the present session being $781,574-
020 and the estimated revenues being
but $704,472,000. The chairman of the
Appropriations Committee character
izes this financing as "laudable econ-
omj- . " But Senator Gorman , with
much more reason and regard for fact ,
calls it amazing extravagance and at
tributes a large part of it to the im
perialistic aid rash ambitions of Mr.
Roosevelt. Be that as it may. $77.000-
000 is a rather sizable and menacing
fioiloit and points in the direction of
either bad financing or a considerably
raised tax rate , or both.
Incidentally we may inquire : Where
is the boasted benefit of Dingley "pro
tection" to the people , the taxpayers ?
The taxpayers are $77,000,000 "in the
hole. " Dingley "protection" has done
better by the trusts. To be sure , thej
nre not "out" $77,000,000 on account of
it. Our political economists , and especially -
c-ially those who are both political and
partisan , might not support the propo
sition ; but a court of equity sitting
upon the question of adjustment
would require the privileged monopo
lies to pay over the sum of the deficit
into the treasury and make up the pee
ple's losses. Robbing the people to en
rich the trusts is good economy from
: he Republicon standpoint , but it is de
cidedly inequitable and uncomfortably
Burdensome to the country as a whole.
