SALAMANCA, n. TssDec. e9.-The resolu-
lions adopted by I, sNsree Thinkers convsn-
ton declare that to y aim TO place, by tree
discussion, bsior, ;tile people on immevable
basis the nationss sacred and inaliennblo
rights OF all r,eufo exercise entire freedom
OF thought ana freedom OF speech on all
subjects OF human interest. without the
diet alton Of Others from state or church.
I'VE would defend by arms, II necessary,
tho rights of all religions from the
pope down to the salvation army to believe
and worship as they please, and this right,
which in the spirit and letter CT the national
constitution We 20 cheeriully accord them,
we claim FOR ourselves, ana will exercise II
to the fullest extent OF our ability IN
war upon the supeisti,ions OF the
church and her claims to prescribe 10 Oil
men what they shall believe and worship"
The concluding resolution Is as follows:
1--WE aim by criticism and argument TO
weaken the confidence 10 the Bible asa
purely INSPIRED revelation from heaven con.
tanning the infallible rule ct faith and prac.
tice, believing that the book itself
sets forth no such claim. Our position on
this subjsc. is all the more important, be-
cause the practice of polygamy in Utah Is
sn anomalous fact OF American civilization.
and We confess cur apprehension
that the o,,f idola'ry 1o,,s ct "a o SSs
WHICH EIOTluSS sEuuiisto uhu

est hindrance in the way OF settling the
question which is raised by it, without re-

which, if undertaken by the government,
will never cease until every Mormoa is ex:

Shorel
And there we walked,
And sadly talked
More sadly talked than e'er before.

But on that day

Plain words whose very tone was rudeness.
We strayed beyond the tide-mills dam
q Dam!
She Tilted me
And now sec
That woman's love is all sham!
