"a solemn note of warning and en

trials of members who persist in “at
tending theatres, horse races, circuses,
uancing parties, or patronizing danc
ing schools or taking such other
amusements are obviously of mislead
ing or questionable moral tendency.”
it is tins latter chapter so many at-
temps have been made to change.
Usually the fight has been lead by
city pastors. Oddly enough, it has re
ceived more clerical than law support.
1 he change is urged on several
grounds, some declare the general
rules sufficiently specific. They would
allow more ngnt of private judgment.
They would permit individuals to dis
criminate as to plays, for example.
They also argue that positive piety
is better than negative and that pro
motion of a constructive Christian
program would be more effectual
than attempted or neglected enforce
ment of specific prohibitions.. Others
argue that the enumeration of certain
“worldly amusements” leaves the im
pression that others, new'y devised
or overlooked in the catalogue, are
proper. Their theory is more accept
able to the General Conference than
is indicated by various votes. Probab
ly a majority of the delegates wish
the clause had never been originally
adopted. But they cannot eliminate it
without putting the church in t' e
false attitude of approving the amuse
ments now forbidden. Every news
paper headline on the controversy
warns them of this danger. We do
not call to mind a more striking illus
tration of how embarrasing one leg

this point. “A private monopoly is

of how Democrats stop monopolies.

been nothing like this in our history.

Hughes nominated cm the second or
third ballot. Another of the Middle
West favored Root or Weeks, but "it
will be hard to keep the delegates
away from Hughes on the second
ballot.” I he third, a Progressive
from the far West said. “The nomin
ation of Justice Hughes is as certain
at Chicago as is the nominaion of
Wilson at St. Louis." Ex-Attorney
General Wickersham declared the
other day that "the Republican party
must nominate a man who will unite
all factions of the party and who can
certainly be elected. I see bat one
such man, and that is Justice
Hughes."
And so it goes, from one end of the
country to the other. There are good
men, excellent men, who are candi
dates, bul there are many indications
at this time that the country has
made up its mind. It is not likely that
Justice Hughes will open his mouth
before the convention, but if the bal
loting proves the genuineness of the
demand fur his service he will, no
doubt, declare himself in such terms
that there can be no question as to
his position on public issues, and he
will not, cannot, decline the nomina
