AGSOSuCISH Is ABNORMAL.

/ THE popular form Of infidelity
goes by the name OF agnO,ticism. Il
is not atheism, because IL does not
deny the existence Of deity. Il Is
knOwnOthingism. 1t assumes an at
titude Of indifference as to eterna
realities. But its disciples rarely rer
main on this neutral ground. They
step over the line to riEicule tine

are not content, either, with al

/" LIBERALISM - As SELF

THE "LiberaI'' organ Of this
morning says:
"a party that will coloniEe the city

quoted above which cannot be
proved against the "Liberal'' con-

carried.
We know that the managers OF
the Peoples Party took the most
stringent measures TO prevent the
registering Of members Of the party
whs were not fully and lawfully and
beyond question entitled to re-

the "Liberalp outfit encouraged,
and urged illegal registra-

the slightest doubt that the scribes

charges against their party, were
fully cognizant Of the villainies per-
