Providence, May 12—Rev. Frank W. | Crowder, rector of Grace church, in a sermon here, denoupced suggestive dances and thefr modifications and de- plored the fact that the latter had been accepted by many respectable persons. He declared that these dances had their origin in degeneracy and contended that it was a woman's problem and one for them to solve. | Dr. Crowder further declared that | the code among many of the women today was “the maximum of pleasure and excitement with the minimum of rest’ This, he said, was gradually | taking {he plage of the Ten Command- ments. Women of respectability, he | contended, are drifting into ways that {men were ashamed of a few years | ago. | The sermon was, in part, as follows: | _“Let me here ailude particularly to | th | e irruption of vulgarity, and in some | quarters even of indecency, resulting {from certain suggestive dances of im- | moral origin, which have attained an | alarming vogue among all grades in | our social life. “Far from being new. these dances are a reversion to the grossest prac- | tices of savage men.

Turkish Monarch Must Furnish Securi- ty Like Piain Citizen, - New York, May 12—The sultan of Turkey, through his legal representa- tive, was notified today that in an American law court his position is the same as that of his humblest subject. The question of the sultan’s rights as a litigant arose at Justice Vernon M. Davis' special term of .the supreme court, which has before it the Turkish ruler’s suit to get possession of $10,- 000 insurance money on the life of H. S. Tavshanjizn, a wealthy Armenian merchant, who was assissinated here in 1907.

Justice Davis hoard argl- ment today on_ the demurrer fo the sultan’s action interposed by the cus- todians of the Tayshanjian estate in New York. These defendants ask: that the sultan give the customary se- curity for the payment of costs.

Therefore the state department de- clined to make any statement as to the precise nature of the Japanese commu- nication #nd the secretary in answer to inquiry on that point simply pointed to his own message of last night in which he referred to the Japanese gcommunication as a “very earnest pro- test.” Secretary Bryan Mut ‘Whether the protest went outside of the treaty and claimed a Vioiation of the principles of international law in diserimination against the Japanese, or was an allegation that the spirit if not the letter of the treaty had been infringed by the California legislation, the secretary would not say.

TAFT'S LECTURE Telis Yale Students That Such “Hair- Trigger Methods” of Government Are Re(rogru’ive, Not Progressive. New Haven, Conn, May 12—in his fourth lecture on “Some Questions of Modern Government” at Yale today, Professor William Howard Taft characterized the form of government advocated - by the progressives as “hair-trigger” and “leading to anarchy and a despotism of the majority.” Professor ' Taft's statements were made “laggely in connection with his discussion of the recall of legislative and administrative officers. He prom- ised to discuss the recall of judicial de. cisions “‘which embodies the recall of Judges” at a later date. Recall an Obstacle to Efficiency. “The objection to the recall is not that it takes away the office from the official,” he said, “but that it is an ob- stacle to the efficiency of government. Men do not administer government fearlessly, under government of which the recall is a part, but administer it S0 that their enemies may have no opportunity to make malfcious at- tacks upon them. Gévernment is for the purpose of accomplishing some- thing. Had men like Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Madison served under the recall, they would probably all have been recalled. Time has since sald of them “Well done, thou good and faithful servamt.” “Hair-Trigger Methods.” “Such halr-trigger methods of gov- ernment are said to be progressive. They are not; Instead this is retro- gression, 1t is going backward; it is adopting -a feature of governmegt re- jected years ago. “Leaders of this movement dwell upon the statement that the people have beer seized with an almost re- ligious zeal for cleanness of govern- ment. Aspiration for better things ought to be ridiculed by no ome, but has sin left us? Are we not all subject to the same weaknesses that have been recognized for six thousand years? Sole Thought is Soci “Is there not in every line of the campaign speeches, platforms and utterances of the men of the new school, the assumption that they have discharged, all of their duty and that igeir sole feeling in the matter is one of brotherly love? “The sole thought in it all is social- istic—the idea to make the rich poorer and the poor richer, a leveling of prop- erty holdings. Ultimately ,this fact will be known. People have taken more interest in affairs of government because of the new movement but even in the western states where the new forms are in vogue, the minority is in control of affairs. Would Result in Despotism. “This will ultimately result in des- potism of the majority and lead to anarchy and revolution.” FIGHTING THE BARBERS’ STRIKE WITH RAZORS.
