THE Religious Congress now in
session at the Worlds Fair is the
most remarkable convention the
world has ever seen. In no other
age than the present would it have
been possible to have the represen-
tatlves of systems of religions so
radically different come together
in a delfberative body. The able
representatives of ten distinct
faiths, with no postulate upon
which all can agree, save the be-
lief in human immortality, have
met in peace to discuss their views,
explain their positions and learn
the lesson of tolerance, good will
and freedom of thought!

THE ATTITUDE IN THE STRIP

1t would seem to most people
that's a better plan might be devised
to get rid of the government lands
than that recently put in operation
in the opening of the Cherokee
Strip on the southern boundary OF
Kansas.
It is estimated that at least a hun
dred persons have lost their lives
by reason of the present manner
OF opening land to settlers. Per-
haps the authorities have thought
this the best way to keep the spec
ulators Of large land grabbing syn
dicates from obtaining possession
and frustrating the design of the
government Of giving every one
wanting a farm an opportunity to
get it, but it is hazardous way,
and a considerable amount OF
courage and endurance are necessa-
ry to keep up with the procession.
In every scramble of the kind there
tre some who don't get what they

Tests OF this alloy have been made by
