The court of civil appeals yesterday
handed down an interesting opinion in
the case of Lee Upton against the city
of San Angelo et al , from Tom Green
county, the judgment of which was
confused and all but silent in certain other realms. For
instance we are often “long” on theological orthodoxy and
ecclesiastical propriety, and excessively “short” on com-
mercial integrity and political morality. Consequently our
moral gait is halting. What wo need is the co-ordination
of our ethical instincts, the bringing up of our standards
in all the various regions of our life and conduct to the
same high level of the moral Ideal; in other words, we need
the unification and integration of a divided and disintegrated
conscience.

the moral disease of a divided and disintegrated conscience.
And that disease is often most apparent among Christian
people. We have as many moral standards as there are
varieties of pursuits and professions among men. There is

range of human action, every plane of human conduct.

As might naturally be expected at ihl. particular reason
the attention of the voting population generally is being
attracted to the matter of the July primares and the manner

knowledging that a primary nominatlon is equivalent to •

proper that every attention shouia be given the selection of
the proper men for the various positions of Importance and
responsibility in both the state and county cabinets.
While Travis county will prove a mere atom in the mat.
ter, of course when it comes to the county nominations
the people of this county stand supreme. Their voice and
their sentiments as expressed in the democratic primaries
in July means the selection ot the officers for Travis county
for another two years when their names are submitted to
the November election. It is necessary, therefore, that the
closest possible attention should be given the personnel
of their ticket named in the July primaries.

When the notes fairly bored their

the violin player, whose name was

Just then something happened
Metz's feet flew from under him and
he dropped with a dull thud to the icy
pavement, a look of horror on his face.
Beneath him, mashed into a hundred
pieces, a sight calculated to make
Kubelik faint with horrer, was the
beloved violin.
When he arose to his feet the violin
player wanted to make Weigand pay
for the instrument, but the saloon-
keeper simply looked-.far away. In
sad tones Metz explained to his sym-

few old fashioned souls who seriously question the efficiency
of this new method, but little attention is being paid them.
It is, therefore, a problem worthy of careful studying to
find out as to whether or not they are right in their con-

correctness of their contention or vindicate the action of the
modern day evangelist? That is a question that is inter-

A recent- issue of McClure's prints a remarkable critical
estimate of Christianity in practice: “The Final Test of
Christlantty," by the Rev. Charles D. Williams of Cleveland,
Ohio. in which the Christian minister hits upon the real
reason why business. Immorality and professed Christianity
go hand in hand. He thus sums up the 'necessities of
the case:
The chief moral demand of the age upon the Christian
church and the Christian believer is for the .Integration of
the common conscience. That is the deepest ethical need
of this generation. We are very much like a boy who has
outgrown all his clothes'; The religion of the past spoke its
message of righteousness chiefly to the individual, and
especially in terms of ecclesiastical proprieties and the minor
moralities of personal behavior. But there has come to
the modern world .a sudden and vast expansion of com
merctat and political development. And the old Chris-
tianity is confronted with conditions for which she has
no definite treatment. Her moral standards and her ethical
systems are not big ehough for the new life of today. She
faces vast fields of conduct which are to her unexplored ter-
ritory. She has not yet begun to claim them for her
Master, to whom they rightfully- belong, simply because
He is the moral King of all men and the Spiritual Sov-
religion end all things pertaining to religion are being,
-whooped up.“ That a crusade of religion along new and
modern lines is being played for all that it 1’ wortb. and

be given to the testimony of the vari-
ous witnesses. But in considering

preacher looking to the saving of the souls has been rele-
gated as being no good. His slow and tedious way of letting
the religion “soak in" has been cast aside and in its place

Therefore the advice to one and all is that the best men
be selected. All may be qualified but unquestionably some
are better than others. It is up to the voters to draw the
distinction and make the proper selection. Let them as-
sume the responsibiity and act according to their best judg-
ment. There is less likelihood of any mistakes being made
In that way.

that the brass band and circus “barker'’ business is proving
fsr more beneficial in the matter of getting the people to
church ana securing converts than the old time methods o
letting it ‘beak in"
Attention la celled to colorado at the present time by
reason of the fact that the brass band aggregation is over
there now in force whooping things up and down with all
the Irregularity of the storm that lashes the oceans, Ude to
rrenzleq fury. The same system of “whooping things" up
is Being applied Ip other states st present also, but poslbly
not so emphatically as the reports from Colorado would
indicate.
So the story goes, a number of town* in Colorado have
of late been extensively placarded with posters bearing the
legend in bill board aisplay type, "Get right with God," fol-
lowed by the explanation that to do thts the wayfarer must
go to a particular tent meeting to bear a particular evan:
gellst. The Sunday school scholar* are learning "yells" un-
der the guldance of thia particular evangelist, and upon
chance meetings in the streets the Baptist boys attempt to
out “holler" the Methodists.
It is further narrated that on Sunday mornings the church
resounds with the war cry«:
-Who, who, who are we? Were the aothodists of Salt
Lake C. •Are we Mormons? No, sir-ee. M-e-t-h-
o-d--g-t." Another one of the soul stirring hymn* opens
up with the very suggestive and slangy assurance, “Oh
my goodness sakes alive."
If these stories' are to be believed, and they are prac-
ticed to a limited degree most everywhere nowadays by
the present day evangelist, the up-to-date method of ad-
vertising and hustling seems to have Invaded the ranks of
I the evangelist* with even greater enthusiasm than most
any other field of instruction if we are to, believe all that
reports would tel us modern day science has already
changed the spreader of the gospel from a more or less dig-
nified, conservative and tradition-respecting Individual to

The University dance given last
night at Prptection hall by students of
the University was one of the most
enjoyable social events pecurring this
week. A large number of, University
and Austin young people were present
and the dance was thoroghly enjoyed
by all in attendance.
Thia week has been distinguished by
a largo number of events in University
social circles, partly by reason of to-
day's holiday, coming as it does at the
middle of the week and breaking in
upon the regular routine of University
work. Last Saturday night the Uni-
versity German club gave its regular
dance at Protection hall, followed by
the Kappa Sigma dance Tuesday night,
and the University dance-last night.
Tonight the young ladles of the Uni-
versity will give the annual colonial
ball at the women’s building. This is
a fancy dress affair and one of the
"traditional’’ occurrences of the college
year. Equally traditional is/the annual
junior prom., which will be given Sat-
urday night in the women's building
gymnasium. This affair is given an-
nually by the young ladles of the junior
class complimentary to the young
ladles of the senior class. .
