"What do you. as a minister of
the gospel, think of modern fash
ions?"
Several loading preachers of Slid
kane have given the Inland Herald
iheir opinion on this subject. Mln
lsters, representing many different
denominations, in answer to the
question have voiced their condem
nation of present day styles in dress
in no uncertain terms.
All are pastors of fashionable con
gregations and therefore unwilling
that their names be attached to in
terviews on this subject. Almost ev
ery ndlect'vo from "barbaric" to
"absurd" is to be found In the ex
pressions of their attitude on the lat

Modern Dress liaibnric.
"In giving a direct answer to that
question," replied a minister of a
Methodist Episcopal church, "I
would say that civilization in the
matter of clothes has advanced to a
tate of absolute barbarism on the
theory that it isvbut a step from tho
sublime to the ridiculous, women In
particular seem to havo taken the
stop.
"If It were not so serious a prob
lem, women's dress would furnish

preciation for tho funny side of life.

would doubtless murmur surprise I
"Ahs and 'Ohs!' at the enormity of
it, and yet the American women ar
recklessly rushing Into an extrav
ganza of absurdities.
Mania for Odd Effects.
"Pursuing these latest methods of
adornment, our women are fast
reaching a stage that amounts al
most to the erecting of 'other idols
before them.' Dress in its modern
forms has become a kind of mania
of which woman seems to bo making
a diversion or pursuit, whichever you
care to term it.
"Instead of being, one of the com
mon necessities of life, as it was In
the days of our grandmothers, with
their wheels for spinning flax, dress
today is an accomplishment seem
ingly more to bo desired than a hap
py homo atmosphere."
Sermon Shut Out.
'The most amusing episode of my
week's labors," observes a Presby
terian minister, taking a humorous
view of the question, "is to watch a
medium sized man trying to obtain
a glimpse of the preacher between
two ample hats that All most of tho
space which would usually be allot
ted to at least three persons. The
man is indeed a comical sight as he
peers anxiously between the two
scenic creations of frills and furbe
lows, looking almost exactly like
some imprisoned monkey with its
nose pressed against tho bars of n
cage. Often during my sermon t
cannot avoid an inward smile.
"There should bo a law prohibit
ing women wearing hats or false hair
in church, as well as in places of
amusement. If they remove their
hats, women whose height cannot
exceed fivo feet four Inches tower

lloiv Pastor Must Look.
"It seems that some of the men of
my congregation must leave tho
church bollevlng that the preacher
is a wan-faced individual framed in
ribbons nnd feathers, with enormous
musses of hair on either side of his
face. At least that is the Impres
sion that remains with mo in remem
bering some of tho mnlo members of
my congregation."
"High cost of living argumonts
are futilo In the face of tho modern
domntid in womnn's dress," asserts u
minister of another denomination
"Wo aro prone, to raise our voices
against tho trusts, and declare wt

lem for tho man of the middle class

Wives Make Living Costly.
"He pays the grocery bill of $7
per week. Probably It will figure
30 per month. His wlfo expends
$40 for a modish gown In tho same
month and $20 more for a hat that

"If she bo up-to-date, the hat
must havo a foundation and this
must bo built upon $15 worth of
hair from tho head of some Chinese
woman. At least I am intormed
that our American women, Instead
of being satisfied with their own lux
uriant braids, aro paying good Amer
ican dollars for the hnlr of Chinese
women. If there be a daughter In
the household, she will spend even
more than tho mother.
"The wage-earner himself pays SI
for a hat and $20 for a suit, and It
must last tho greater part of the
year. Women's fashions demand
change at least each six months. Yet
wo prate of being robbed by the
trusts and of the 'high cost of liv
ing.' It impresses me that tho real
problem lies in tho monopoly of
those who set tho styles."
No Reason for Extremes. ,
"It strikes mo that women's ideas
in styles are something like Edmund
Vance Cooko's lecture, 'Eating Our
Grandfathers,' " says a fourth min
ister. "Cooke, In his lecture, tells
of a savage tribe that had followed
cannibalism for centuries, and con
tinued the practice because It had
been tho habit of tho grandfathers
boforo them. Ho used to illustrate
the need for individual Independ
ence. "It seems like that with our wo
men. They wear these hideous af
fairs for adornment because other
women wear them. The leading
stores set the fashions, and they fo;-
loy Mindly, some or them disgusted
wiih themselves because tttey dislike
the newest raodo, but keeping in the
beaten track. If a few women would
make an organized effort to return
to the days of simplicity and econ
omy, they would gain the undying
gratitude of a great mass of men
who strugglo dally to make their
ledgers balance and shudder each
time they pass a millinery display."
No Help to Church.
"Modern fashion, while it may not
be a positive menace to Christianity,
Is certainly not aiding its cause," is
tho statement of one minister. "It is
rather carrying us back to tho days
when pomp and ceremony were put
ahead of nobler Ideals. It is harmful
to our girls, and is bringing about
nn altogether undesirable environ
ment for our young women. Inter
est In homo comes second to that of
personal adornment. Styles in wo
men's ares3 today represent a mass
of falsities and artificial aids that i
are not only costly but Injurious. 1
"Girls aro not being taught to 1
think of such common domestic '
things , as cooking and sewing. !
Rather, they spend much of their
tlnip figuring out how to get the
greatest amount of hair fastened on
to the small amount of head somo I
of them possess. Tastefulness anl ,
neatness havo given placo to elabor
ate effects in coiffures and curls,
t!-;ht-lnced gowns and French heels.
Law Can Bo Evoked.
"In Chicago and other eastern
cltiles tho authorities have aroused
themselves and tho pompadour has
beeft prohibited in somo places. In
Chicago the murderous hatpin has
becomo a subject for a city ordln- i
ance. Employers havo refused to i
employ women who persisted in dec-,
orating themselves with unseemly
ornaments.
"If women would turn from these
things to tho better things of life, '
we would havo a nobler and broader I
spirit of humanity."
"Thousands of hours aro wasted i
each day by women adorning them
selves for public. Inspection," de- I
dares another clergyman. "I am .
led to understand that the modern
woman of fashion spends at least tv '
hours each day dressing hor ha'r, or 1
rather, intermingling It with false i
arrangements In order to support

A "get-off-the-grass" argument
yesterday at the horse show Held, re
sulted in a sudden ruining of the dig
nity of the law, and a badly bruised
leg for Walter Johnson, of this city.
A young man, who persisted in stand
ing his ground within the arena
where tho horses were being displayed
for Judging yesterday afternoon, was
asked to lnovo himself to the curb by
Constable Ira Jonnson. Tho young
man proved to be stubborn, and
the officer dismounted, and, putting
him under arrest, proceeded to take
him to jail. A struggle ensued at this
Juncture, and the husky young fellow
jerked away and logged it over tho
court house lawn. Constable Hamil
ton turned his horse over to Walter
Johnson, and immediately took a
hand in tho Marathon, while John
son, mounting tho beast, whipped
around the block to head tho run
away off, or, to bo moro precise, near
ly around the block, for while at
tempting to take a curve with all cyl
inders working, tho horse's feet
slipped and both fell, tho rider land

with hor homo Ideals and tho duty
of a wifo and mother. It is merely
a problem of mathematics. There
are but 24 hours in the day and but
16 of theso are supposed to bo wak

our grandmothers, who devoted long
hours to spinning tho family gar
ments, chose tho 'bettor part as
compared with present day mothers,
who find only tlmo to seek for nowir
designs in styles. '
"Through our nowspapers and
journals we learn that mankind' is
becoming embittered; that tho di
vorce court is collecting an increased
toll with each year. It Is Httlo to bo
wondered at. Men as a rule aro pa

Yesterday was non-suit day In tho
circuit court and four cases In all
wero dismissed under this mode of
logal procedure two of them on
motion of tho plaintiff and two on
motion of tho defendant.
Tho first caso to bo dismissed ou
tho motion of tho plaintiff was tho
case of D. M. Drydon against the
firm of Korlnek & Kenwoll, veter
inary surgeons of this city. Tho
plaintiff in his complaint alleged
that ho was tho owner of a stallion
by tho name of Dupond of tho valuo
of $3,000, and that ho hired tho
defendants to perform a surgical
operation upon tho horse and that
through tho unskillfull use of chlor
oform, tho horso died and damages
to the amount of $3,000 woro asked
for. When tho caso camo up for
trial tho plaintiff ovldontly felt that
ho had not made out a caso and
moved for a voluntary non-suit.
The next caso to fall by tho way
was that of C. W. LIvesay against
D. Boyer, an action commenced for
tho purposo of recovering a commis
sion from tho defendant for tho sale
of real property. Tho defense In
this caso moved that tho action be
dismissed on the ground that tho
plaintiff had not made out a case
and the motion was sustained by
tho court.
Clialcraft Caso Dismissed.
A non-suit was also granted in
the case of J. M. Forest against P.
L. Chalcraft, superintendent of tho
Cliemewa Indian School. This suit
was brought by tho plaintiff for tho
purposo of recovering damages
against tho dofendant for tho
wrecking of plaintiff's buggy last
fall. A student by tho name of
Mooro ' had wrecked tho buggy by
driving into It with a lumbor wagon,
and the plaintiff sought to hold
Clialcraft responsible on tho ground
that tho student was under his su
pervision as superintendent. Tho
defense hold a contrary vlow and
moved for a non-suit which was
granted.
The last caso was that of Edna
J. Brown, ot al, against George A.
Webb, et al. This action was
brought by tho plaintiff in behalf ot

Given Further Tlmo.
Fred McClard, charged with ob
taining money under false pretenses,
appeared in court this morning to
answer to tho charge. His attor
neys Carson & Brown asked for
further time in which to plead and
it was granted. McCIard's offense
is alleged to consist In presenting a
check for $25 to tho banking firm of
Ladd & Bush on May 13, 1009, after
payment had boon stopped oa It by
tho maker, B. H. Davis. Tho bank
ing firm of.CoolIdgo & McClaln of

check was drawn.
