PURITANIC IDEALS VANISHING

The Day Past When We Can Idea That to Enjoy Yourself Send You to the Place BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Live and let live." This is the slogan of the modern day. ' It is the ideal of Christianity. And the text of the humanitarian. Everybody can't be made to toe the same line. To hit the identical chalk mark. To be trimmed and pared and pruned and molded into the same shape. Men and women differ. Tastes are various. Conditions shift. Traditions vanish. And Ideals evolve. In a series of Interviews with well known men published in the Palladium's news columns a day or bo since, with regard to the bill on Sunday amusements now pending in the Legislature, one man was quoted as saying: "I do not believe in legislation based on the Mosaic law." That seems to sum the thing up, to concentrate it to a head, to express its essence. We are living under the dispensation of Christ, not that of the Old Testament. Under inter-related Christian activities. .Not those puritanic traditions that were imposed upon our national life by the founders of a portion of the country. The social complexion of the nation has changed. .It has had absorbed into its fabric a .thousand diverse .racial and national strains. 'And has evolved into a type vastly different from those severe, rock-ribbed Puritans who stepped off the Mayflower and symbolized Plymouth Rock. The Puritans were a dour set. Anyone who dared to have any initiative of thought, to vary from their social or religious standard, was burned at the stake, thrown into a dungeon and sent to ex-communication. Coming to this land for an opportunity to practice their religion in freedom and without interference, they imposed upon their fellows the very persecutions that caused them to fly their original environ. So they took to cutting off Quakers' ears and banishing Baptists to Rhode Island. In turn the Quakers threw into outer' darkness anyone who wore a collar on his coat. And the Baptists denied heaven of the Quakers unless they took the water route. These things are so much of the past nowadays as to evoke a smile merely. . . :Toleration has become the rule. 'And charity for the other fellow the custom. We have passed the place where we think it is wicked to enjoy ourselves naturally and normally on Sunday. Where we have doubts as to whether or not a hot dinner is not taking us perditionward. As Mr. Hayward said "it is becoming hard to longer withstand the pressure against the Puritan Sabbath." No one cares for the imposition of the continental Sunday. Which is very much like any other day. But recognition that a day of leisure should be ,devoted to those social activities most . congenial to the individual taste is becoming more and more prevalent. The existence of Sunday concerts proves this. 'In all cities and in the smaller metropolitan communities you will find them. Their local popularity" is attested by the thousands that crowd the Chautauqua grounds every year on the Sunday afternoons, many of whom are drawn thither by the musical attractions, of the programs. Concerts made up of varying vocal and instrumental media. And of the other thousands who flock to the Glen to listen to the free concerts given by the Richmond City Band, under the patronage of the municipality. . The Chautauqua concerts are, of course, a paid entertainment. And the city and the Y. M. C. A. share equally in the profits. This is as it should be. This column- thinks this phase of the Chautauqua's activities an interesting and applauded one. , It furnishes entertainment to a great mass of persons who don't know what to do on Sunday. For the average individual is somewhat embarrassed with his enforced weekly leisure. rj IF VOU HAD A NECK A8 LONG AS THI8 FELLOW AND HAD SORE THROAT TONSILINE WOULD QUICKLY : CURS IT.

Be Intimidated With the Normally on Sunday Is to of Eternal Flames.

Is a bit at a loss how to spend the idle time. And the Sunday concert is a welcome diversion. That the latter is approved and patronized by the best element of the town is known to the writer of this column, who has canvassed the situation thoroughly In this city. The two Sunday afternoon recitals given at the Murray under her auspices have been attended by the church people of the town, who have constituted the majority of those present. To say that these recitals one given by a baritone, the other by a vocalist and a harpist were "demoralizing" is merely being ridiculous. On the latter program was included "The Evening Star," of Wagner's "Tanhauser," a song which the writer has heard in the churches of this city. Great music, fine music, is never "demoralizing." The demoralization lies in the effort to make it appear so. "For there is nothing good nor bad but thinking makes it so." The fact that the song is sung under an ecclesiastical roof or in a theater, or beneath a canvas cover or in the open, is immaterial. It is the song that counts. And the spirit in which it is heard. It's a thousand times better to listen to the song that to sit 'round denouncing it. It's a million times better to attend a concert where you will hear good music than to spend the time gossiping about your neighbors and nearfriends. You are far nearer heaven when you hear the compositions of the masters artistically interpreted than when you attempt to obsess the public with the notion that they are doing something wrong by so doing. What's the difference about the day? Whether it's on Sunday afternoon or Wednesday night or Saturday morning. The whole fact Is that we are unwilling to face and admit the truth. "The truth shall make you free." When you are ready admit that you aren't interpreting the will of God alone that everybody else is vile because they won't admit you as the only medium through which they can see the light you've got a long way on the road to heaven yourself. When yoi try to bullyrag everybody into thinking as you think and doing as you do, you are merely in the enemy's country. You are leagues away from the spirit of Christianity. You are way back with the children of Israel in the wilderness. "The world moves." And you can't banish good music on Sunday just because it isn't sung in a church. Or just because you pay coin of the realm to hear it. You will get to heaven just as soon sitting in a theater, listening to a Wagnerian air sung from the stage as you will by sitting in a church listening to the same air from the organ oft while the deacon takes up the collection. It is Yourself. Not the time or place. HOW TO TAKE PILLS. Take Blackburn's Casca-Royal Pills, that never gripe nor sicken. One each night as a laxative. Two or three as a cathartic. After a few weeks use the trouble is usually corrected. Try a 10c package just once and you'll want no other they are so prompt and pleasant. Advertisement. Caught a Tartar. "Did you ask your girl's father for ber hand in marriage?" "I did." "And he refused you- I can tell by the way you look." "No, he didn't He gave his consent" "Then why the peculiar look you are wearing?' "He was so darned willing." Hons ton Post The March Turns

DESIRE TO AMEND COMMISSION BILL Plan to Make It Strictly Conform to Des Moines Plan. Now Proposed.

(Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 8 An at tempt will be made in the house of rep- J resentatives to amend the Stotsen- ' burg bill permitting cities between j 18,000 and 35,000 population to adopt I the commission form of government so as to make it conform to what is known as the Des Moines plan law. , As passed by the senate the Stotsenburg will differs from the Iowa law in one important particular. It provides j that the mayor and four commission- j ers shall be chosen at one election ! while under the Des Moines plan two elections are required. The first is a primary election and candidates get their names on the ballot by petition. The two candidates for mayor receiving the highest vote at this election and the eight highest candidates for commissioner become the candidates at the regular election. The field is thus narrowed down and the voters have a second chance to express their choice. Under the Stotesenburg bill nominations would be made by petition and the first election would decide who-are to be mayor and commissioners. DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT.

STOCKHOLDERS ELECT j Officers Chosen for Hagerstown Company. (Palladium Special.) HAGERSTOWN, Ind., ieb. 8 At a meeting of the stockholders of the Hagerstown Lumber and Manufacturing company the directors of the corporation were elected. The capital stock of the company is $15,000. Officers will be elected at a meeting held this week. Kitchen cabinets and other furniture will be manufactured. The following directors were elected: Dr. C. L. Stotelmeyer, Oscar Werking, Henry Keagy, J. M. Werking, D. A. Dilling, Eli Wisehart, John Clark, Dan Clark, Horace Hoover, A. R. Jones, Dr. C. B. Harter Will Stout and George Smith. GL. AN MUSIC. Wherein It Is Said to Surpass That of All Other Nations. Hans von Buelow's remark that "Italy -was the cradle of music and rei mained the cradle" was. of course, not intended to be taken literally, but simply as a witty exaggeration of an obvious truth. Italy gave the world the first operas, oratorios, cantatas, overtures, sonatas and most of the ecclesiastical forms, and in course of time it furnished master works in all these styles of musical architecture; yet it remained for the composers of Germany to write the most elaborate and fully developed specimens in each case. Italy can show no choral works equal to Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" or Handel's "Messiah;" no overture equal ; to those of half a dozen German mas ters; no songs equal to those of Schubert Schumann or Franz; no operas like Wagner's; no symphonies like Beethoven's; no pianoforte pieces like Schubert's, Beethpven's or Schumann's. On these points there can be no dispute whetever, and that is why Germany is now universally conceded to be the chief musical nation, even by those whose personal taste impels them to favor particular examples of Italian, French or Russian music. The greatest masters of Italy, France and Russia have been unanimous in looking up to the German masters as their masters as the men to whose Influence they largely owed their own education and development From Etude. .
