TUE CUBIST AITOH KILLED
If news disputchcB from murder
mnd Europe he true.. Anton Lang chief
actor of thu Oberammorgau Passion
Play, has been killed In tho fighting
tn Chumpugne. It is an announce
ment that will bring pain to tho
heurts of thoiiHunds throughout tho
Christian world. Probably no other
soldier's deutli In tho tronches of this
barbaric war will causo us wide re
gret among ncutrul pcoplo aa tho
death of this good man who was
chosen from among thousands to take
thc part of Christ in tho Passion Play
because, of bia rout likeness to the
Savior, or ratiier to tho generally ac
cepted imaginary likeness of Christ
which bas been painted by the mus
ton; for hundreds of years.
It ls said that Lang was au holy
mun and that he always tried to fol
low tho virtues of the Savior. Our
understanding of the matter ls that
tho man selected to tako thc part of
flirlst in the Passion Piny ?B choBon
both because of lils likeness to tho
Savior and MB nearness to tho life
that the Son of Cod taught his fol
lowers to lead. In other word?, Lang
waa choson for tho part because ho
looked like thc Christ and because In
bia pcrsonui lifo ho came as' near
emulating the Savior as it is pos
sible for man to do. That this mau
has boen dono to death In tho trenchen
and that ho will no more be aeon in
that Impressive pageant of Oboram
mergau, will bring Borrow to hearts
of thousands of pcoplo. through tho
civilized world who havo journeyed to
this little villago back among tho
mountains ot upper Barvarla to wit
ness thor wonderful performance.
As the fiendish slaughter drags its
bloody length along tho world at
large ls beginning to realize moro and
moro tho uttor horror of lt. When
some world-famous charaoter like
Anton Lang is shot down lt brings
thia realization homo moro quickly
and moro forcibly than when ono
reads of many men unknown and un
heard of outsido of their respective
barnie's are sacrificed on tho blood
drone'.ed altar of mankind's greatest
am* r.iost terribie war.
SETTLING DOWN AGAIN
I .
After the usual bellicose municipal
election, Charleston ls:settling down
again to peaceful slumbers amid tho
rusti? of the breezes through the live
oaks and the crooning of the' waves |
against the "Bawttry*' wall. After her
fitful spell of wakefulness tho dear
old city was in need of a "night cap"
to quiet her nerves that she might
drift oS into Slurnbcrland the more
sorenoly, and, according to reports,
BIIO proceeded to take it, Then, too, j
tho. places where the "night cap" ls
legally doled out had been closed one
day short of two weeks, and the
places where it was sold In defiance
ot the law'had been under strict
watch ot the constabulary.
Bright and early on Wednesday
morning, wo read In the Charleston 1
papers, tho rumble ot the beor wagons
was li er.', tl again on the streets and
tho doors of tlie county dispensarle?
were again flung wide. The thirsty,
wo read, fell over ono another in
their scramble to. have their ice ,
chests refilled with; tholr favorite
brew, while those, preferring the i
stronger boverage took tholr places
in tho line fornica in front, of the dis
pensaries and waited tholr turn to
roplenlsh tho hip pocket. The bad,
spoiled child-for Charleston is In
her second childhood-again coming
Into possession of Ita bottle, lost lit
tle time lh regaining its usual seren
ity of temper and ambling off into the
dells of the land of dreams.
All of which has sot us wonr/ering
what tho old'blty ls going to do with
Itself when, on January 1, 1516, it
flirts over.on its other Bide tor apr
other nop and finds that tho bottlo has
been snatched from its lipa'by tho op

SOCIAL POSITION
. .fn??V twentieth century1; Idea th^t
with money ono can acquire anything,
with. tho exception ot a . haven . Ot
peat* tor the soul when the body han
be<?n committed to the grec*. fi- **?- :
.orally accepted as true. Bot It wai*; j
hot always, thus. Time was ; when
Wnhey could not > procure . a .. great ;
many things which how may bo had ,
off the bargr dn counter by the man or ,
ifromah wtth a bank roil ot auillclenifc
mmenaiona. trna of thc thingB'taat ;
-
could not bc bought lu tho olden times
WUK social position. A mun or a wo
man had to be born to social posi
tion, and unlcHS ho or she waa born
within the circle there waB no break
ing into it by thone of lowly birth, no
matter how worthy tho uspirant to
the realm might be.
lint this is true no longer. The
qualifications have undergone a re
vision, but not In tho direction the
change should huve taken. AS lt ls
now, one without "the blood" may ac
quire social position provided his
bank roll la of proper circumference.
This is tho wrong standard by which
to measure thoso who apply for ad
mission into thc precincts of soclul
pooltlon. It'? Just as wrong UH the
old standard of "birth." But there ia
going to be a change mude in yard
sticks, It may bc slow In coming, but
lt ls coming Just the same. Tho new
yurdatlck ls going to be personal or
individual worth. Whether a man ls
born "high" or born "low," ho Is go
ing to have to show that he is flt for
social position before he will be ad
mitted to lt.
Our thoughts along this line wcro
prompted by reading a Ilttlo Btory of
Mrs. Finley J. Sheppard, who was
Miss Anna Gould, worth perhaps $10,
000,000, having adopted an unknown
littie waif who wan found abandoned
on tho back steps ot St. Patrick's
Cathedral, In Now York. The child, lt
ls said, has been named Finley J.
Sheppard, Jr. Continuing, thc story
relates that thc waif has "found not
only n father and a mothor, but a
fortuno and social position,"
Finding a father and a mother la
moot fortunate for the youngster, wo
daresay. As for finding a fortune,
timo alono will toll whether that was
boat for the youngster. AB for his
finding "social position," that, of
courso, was conditioned on the fact
that if ho outlives his foster mothor
ho will in ni probability, have" left to
him tho snug sum of ten million and
maybe more. This ls true for the
very simple reasou that a penniless
waif ot unknown parentage, aband
oned in tho streets of New York,
would have a pretty bard time of lt
mounting to social position. But with
tho Jacob's ladder of his foster moth
er's millions, ho ls most likely to
clamber to nodal skies never before
explored by ono who started life as a
blt of drift wood on the uncertain
sens of great metropolis where
"money ls might."
