The Highbinders Display

They Again Tear Down Notices to

Order of the Authorities.

In accordance with the McCreary law every
Chinese who has been convicted of a felony Is

the residents OF the Monaghan quarter of the
city as they are by the other inhabitants. are
fearfully indignant They cannot remain IN
this country, and when they 60 back to their
dear native land, where appeals TO the Supreme
Court are unknown, they will lose their heads.
Some time ago The Collector. acting under
Instructions received from the Government
called upon all Chinese residents OF the State
to register. He had notices posted throughout
the China town of this city and every other city
In the State, calling ubOn The pagans to estab-
fish their right TO reside here by obtaining GER
tihcates from his deputies. Some of the chi
neSe are obtaining these certificates, but the
hlgholnders who have been convicted OF felony
cannot register They tore down The official

posted yesterday tried TO repeat the perform
aDce.
The notices were printed BY Nun Kee. pro-
pnetOr OF Chinese paper. He was posting
them yesterday morning, when highbinders
visited him and told him that lie had better en-
gage in some other business or make his WILL

They chased him, but he disappeared IN the
maze of alleys and passages in the vicinity.
Several other notices were destroyed by The
Ratchet men, and the Inspector detailed i've of

Inspector Thomas thinks that the notices are
being DESTROYED for the purpose OF deterring
Chinese who are not criminals from register

PREVALENT CRIME
Does Religion Deter Men
From 1t?
DR.. NIETO THINKS NOT.
"The Mysterious" Is Too Much
Emphasized.
JEWISH IDEA OF PREPARATION.
Daily Atonement for Daily Sins Is
the Only Teaching That Will
Prevent Crime.

docs Religion Deter Men from Crimes ?"
was the subject of DIR. j. NIeto's brief and
pithy address to the Congregation Sheriff.
Israel last evening. a beautiful and i'm
pressive song service. closing with So
prano aria, Arise, o Israel" preceded
the sermon.
"The fact that crime still prevails and
grinds down suffering humanity univer-
sally with its tyranny" said DIR. sNieto,
'attests the incompetency of the means
employed to prevent it, Sacrifice after
sacrifice has been made upon the altar of
the education of man to higher moral
state. and still crime is rife among u.s.
Religion started with the idea of eevating
man. of moralizing him and bringing him
nearer TO God. The aim of all religion is
goodness; yet religion has existed for
several thousand years, and man is still so
base that he commits crime. Somewhere
there is radical error in Its method.
"Can man not be made moral and true?
Aye, but by other means than those to-day
so much employed. 1t has been the boast
OF the Jews that the proportion of crime
among them is very low. It is because of
the nature OF their religion. Unlike that
of others their religion is that of educa-
ton, and education is the main portion cf
understand himself and the world about
him. They teach him nature and natures
God, OF whom everything consists and who
consists of everything.
But the religions which teach the mys-
FERROUS rob mankind of his intelligence.
cumber his mind with the Incompetent
slble and inspire him with dread of that
which he cannot know but can only dream.
They inspire him with imaginings of
8Dns of perfect bliss or icons of eternal
torment, and threaten him with the one if
he does not gain the other. If he steps
aside from goodness and the way of God
he is caught by the demon who ever
strives to win man from God; and once
caught by him life is forever hopeless.
Thus is held up before the struggling man
a vision that Is forever terror to him.
This Is no rig AteOus means unto the
END of virtue. Against an habitual terror
one soon becomes insensitive, and, having
dared to DEFY it once, rushes on the faster
down the course whence it was set to pre-
vent him. Thus rel giOn when 1t teaches
superstition does not deter men from crime.
Religion, which inculcates that man
can on his deathbed fnd remission for
a lifetime of sins, merely makes the
conscience easier until death. The Jewish
idea OF reparatiOD, of daily atOnement for
daily sin, is the only teaching that will
make men live from hour to hour as they
should live forever. the only teaching that
will deter men from crime.
Then never shut your doors against
man who does not think as you do. Draw
no line of creed or sect or standing, but
come to d given mans level if you would
save him from crime. Practice self-denial.
1t is the fundamental principle of social
elevation"
