-SOCIETY'S SHAMS. PRETENSES OF MODERN REFORMERS AND RELIGIONISTS. The Would lie Wealthy Who Stand In the Way of I'rogreas-How Thooe > Who I'retend to Be ChrUtluns Mis represent the Master. [Special Corwspondence.] I A friend of the writer said years agoj "The worst enemies of modcfti progress are not the wealthy us much as the would be wealthy." By modern progress he did not mean our present Industrial system or anything of the kind, but one which should embody radical concepts of freedom and ethics for all, one tvhlch should give to every child of God a full opportunity for the development of a full manhood, one which should not keep the bulk of hu manity In bondage to any set of people, however fine and polished in their per sonal deallugs, however honest in their Individual life, because what can be In God's eyes the value of Individual hon esty as long os we keep a dishonest In dustrial system In lull bloom, pervert ing'the media In which we all bare to live? And the larger we make the cir cle of honest Individual people in a given nation which refuses to extend honestj' to all Industrial relations, but prefers to intensify all that is wrong there, the greater the force for evil In its most fatal manifestation, In wrong enactments, in vicious, selfish legisla tion. • Besides the wealthy and would be wealthy as obstacles to all healthy progress we have a large number of people Intensely attached to their little patch of wealth or larger wages or salary or somewhat more important position than the many below. They are afraid to lose that, to be dislodged from their little higher pedestal where they can play the actors on a vaster theater, where they have a few more admirers, where they can pose as fel lows of .a higher grade, built up with better clay and so with more chances to be prominent in the life beyond, as they have been in the life below. Spir itual greed 011 top of material greed! That is perhaps one of the dreadfully low moral ideals that yet pervade hu manity today inherited from heathen religions and which actually make modern Christianity an out and out heathenish Christianity, the antithesis of that of Christ, essentially distinct from it in 'all moral and ethical as pects anyhow, the most important of any religion tluit may claim to evolve joy and manhood. As a matter of actual fact the bot tom principles of our philosophy of life, backed by our choice people, those who have from time Immemorial converted nations into dens of iniquity, have al nys'claimed that the perpetuation of qft, and hence that of social and In '(9}lual deformities, is to be the order oßjhe day for a long, long period of liynan growth. That was already the doytrlne of the ruling classes In India when Jesus, the grand reformer, told them, "Either make the tree good and his fruit good or make the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt." Jesus did not accept the diabolic conception of our fine teachers about any social organiza tion partially good and partially bad deserving some respect from sensible, honest men. Such a corrupt social tree as that of today deserves nothing but contempt. It must necessarily be still more corrupt than that of 19 centuries ago repudiated by Jesus because evil Is bound to grow as long as it is al lowed to live, since the law of life, for good or evil, is a law of growth. The sins of our old ago are more con temptible than those of youth because of our* greater experience, knowledge and opportunities to suppress evil. The same applies to every old organized so ciety and hence to the organized greed we may see fit to develop, promote, stand by.or refuse to attack, to bate, to detest. And we love evil If we don't hate it and fail to do our best to kill it in any form it may appear. One of the factors tluit make our civilisation a stand self condemned Is the existence of classes and masses, as dis tinct us ever. If not more so; also that eternal exclamation of how to save the masses, how to convert them, how to rescue tliern from their own had habits, and, as tjie churches, with all their wealth and power, acknowledge their incapacity In that direction, we have to hqvo pauper churches, called missions, and there again we hear of prayers to (rod to save and convert the masses! Well, if the rich churches had at least converted the classes, the masses would have long ago been converted too. Instead of that we find that the classes, with their love for class legis lation, are the greatest obstacle to the establishment of equity in Industrial life and insist upon the worst laws through which most wealth may he rapidly shifted from those Wlio pro duce it to those who don't. All modern Ideals rest 011 tlie prin ciple of bow to (ret s."i, $lO, s.">o, SIOO from the general fund of wealth for ev ery dollar we may contribute to that fund. And how often some contribute nothing while getting In five or ten years the wealth that the best worker could not produce and save In 10.000 years of steady work under the best conditions! And this Is considered as correct by most of our religious and civil teachers, with the classes back of them, they all hating the economic concept of "equal rights to all," which Is simply the golden rule applied to social life, just where its absence is most, fatal. Jos? GBOS. They Don't Understand the Subject. Montreal's labor council voted down a proposition that the city's clergymen be asked to preach a labor sermon ouee a mouth. The prevailing argu ment was that the preachers would hurt the cause of labor because of their lack of knowledge of the subject The SPORTING WORLD Fnmoii* Houlnn; Conch. ' Ellis Ward, the famous head rowing I coach of ;he University of I'ennsylva fJa, occupies a prominent niche in the ( aquatic world nowadays. Ward ia ap plying the finishing touches to the Quaker eight that will compete In the ELLIS WARD. Ilenley regatta in England. The Penn : sylvanians are rowing in fine form and I will undoubtedly make a creditable , showing on the other side of the Atlan tic. | Ellis Ward has had entire charge of > the Pennsylvania institution's rowing affairs for many years. As an oarsman j he himself achieved International re ! pute. The stroke he teaches is similar to that formerly favored by A1 Cook, i the Yale coach of several years ago. ! The Ilenley regatta occurs in July. Ward has picked ten for the trip abroad. The new eight oared shell ! constructed for the special use of the i Quaker crew In the contest for the I Grand Challenge cup on the Thames was launched In the Schuylkill a few | days ago. International Tennis. Holcombe Ward, one of the American champion lawn tennis players In dou bles and the national Indoor champion in singles, will sail for England In a j few days to play In the English ehnin ! pionship tournament at Wimbledon the last week In June. D. F. Davis, his regular partner and also the donor of the International Chal i lenge cup, Is already 011 the other side, I having sailed from here April 24. Da- I vis Intends to play In a number of the 1 English tournaments before the cham pionship meeting, and in- and Ward j will enter at Wimbledon In both singles j and doubles. ! The American champlous will prac tice together In private for a week im mediately before the Wimbledon tour nament Instead of entering at Liver pool for the northern championship, as have most other American players who have played abroad. Their peculiar twist services were very puzzling to the visiting English players last season, ' and they are not anxious to let the for eigners become accustomed to its ec centricities before they meet them In the championship tournament. Yacht ltnclnir Acroaa the Occnn. According to advices received by a prominent New York yachtsman, the j two English racing yachts Ailsa and Eelin, recently bought abroad for two I American yachtsmen, are racing across ; the Atlantic. It was not generally un ; derstood that the yachts were to mnke a race of the trip to this side, as they j did not leave their home ports within | several days of each other, i The Ailsa, which had left Southamp ton several days In advance of the Eelin, put Into tlie port of Penzance ostensibly to repair some of her head sails. Promptly on time the Eelin ap peared and put Into Falmouth, where she alleged she needed a slight refitting before proceeding on her way. The skippers of the two boats were seen frequently together before the yachts again sailed. According to the agreement, both yachts put out late in j April and when last seen had caught up with each other and were having It hot and heavy, with the Ailsa slightly In the lead. Southern Trotting Affair*. Secretary Murray Howe of the Mem phis Trotting association, recently char tered, has announced that the new trotting track Is Hearing completion and that when finished it will be the j fastest In the country. The Memphis I harness meeting will open Oct. 21 and will be governed by National Trotting ; association rules. The stakes amount I to $15,000. Two of them will he con- I tested under the "Memphis system," which rules that three heats constitute a race, first heat one mile, second heat a mile and an eighth and the third beat half a mile. This system ia put In vogue to Incorporate as many features of the running turf as will be consist ent In heat racing. ChrlM I* a "Comer." Chris Matthewson, New Y'ork's now j college pitcher, gives promise of being 1 one of the best In the League this year. When such old timers and good judges of material as Ned IJanlon and Captain Joe Kelly of the Brooklyn team say so, there's something more than a guess made. Won the Chenter Cup. The Chester cup, value $12,500, was won recently In England by David I Garrick carrying the colors of Pierre Lorillard. This is an Important Ameri can victory. Mr. Lorillard hacked his horse at the comfortable odds of 10 to 1. OoNhrn nnd Lexington. Ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant of New I York has sent seven of his trotting horses to Goshen to be trained. If j plans under discussion are carried out, I it will not be long before Goshen be : comes to New York what Lexington is 1 to Kentucky. CAPECE TRIAL IS GOING ON Continued from First Page. He turned and ran for an officer. .lames Quinnan and James 11. Gibbon, keepers of the county jail, found two buckshot in Capeee's vest pocket when the prisoner was soarehed. The last witness, Pauline Capece. a sixteen-year-old daughter of the defend ant, was called at t o'clock and the re markable change in her testimony from that given at the preliminary hearing and before the grand jury took the com monwealth by surprise. The girl stated that on the morning of the shooting she was alone in the house with her father. She was up stairs and heard a shot. Her father just before this, she said, called to her and said he was going out. When she heard the shot she came down stairs. Did not see her father with a gun in his hands, and though she admitted that her father owned a gun, she said the weapon shown was not tho gun. District Attorney Jones at this point asked her if sho had not testified be fore the grand jury that when she came down stairs she found her father clean ing a gun. Mr. Lenahan made a vigor ous objection to the question. Mr. Jones than made an offer to show by the witness than at provious hearings she said she had saw her father with the gun and also had identified the gun in court as being the weapon. A long argument followed on the admissability of the evidence and a be wildering array of authorities was pres ented to the court. DECISION OF THE JUDGE. Judge Kelly tills morning had the stenographer's notes of Pauline Capece's testimony at former hearings read, but he refused to admit this matter as evi dence. The new version of the girl's story was then given to the jury. The witnesses called today were Chief of Police Charles O'Donnell, Oflicer Pat rick Welsh, Constable James Welsh and Deputy Coroner Bowman. Their testi mony was tho same as given at the preliminary hearing. ROUND THE REGION.
