"CAIN DID NOT KILL ABEL"
President Harper Declares 1t il u Myth
and Rev. DIR. henson Denouncca Him.

President Harper Dccla res 1t il u Myth
and Rev. DIR. henson Denouncex Him.
Baptist ministers are consfu krably
wrought up over q lecture delivered by
Prof. Harper, president of the Chicago
University, in which he said that the story
Of Cain and Abel. as told in Genesis, was
myth, says Chicago special. His Ian
guage was: THE story of the murder of
Abel by his brother. Cain, is no more the
truth. so far as we know, than the myth
of the capture of Troy by means of the
wooden horse, or the founding of Rome by
Romulus and Remus. 1t is the theory that
the prophet simply rewrote the stories and
traditions which were in the mouths of
men of his day for the purpose of religious
teaching"
DR.. +. S. Henson, a leading Baptist min
lister, to which denomination the university
holds allegiance, said: Let Dr. Harper
prove the story is not true. How does he
know the wooden horse or Romulus and
Remus are myths? We see the improbable
happening every day, and we do not re-
fuse to believe thing in modern life
simply because it Is improbable. We can
not accept what the Bible says about
heaven and reject the other parts of it,
II we discredit it's history, We discredit all
III we brand 1t as untrue in matters of
which We know something, we can't be-
ieve what 1t says of matters Of which we
know nothing"
Are not such teachings extraordinary
for Baptist university"
Marvellous; Marvellous replied Dr.
Henson. Il cannot understand it. OF course
the reporter may have drawn the wrong
inference from President Harper's remarks
but i think 1 shall ask him how much of
the lecture as reported he is willing to
father. l am curious to know just where

RAISING NEEDED REVENUE.
What Henry George Says of Congress
man Maguirc,s Single Tax Bill.

thNE AstA Dill
Henry George has been interviewed in
regard to Congressman Maguire's bill, in
troduced in the House Saturday, ito pro-
vide an increased revenue by a direct tax
on the value of land in the United States"
The bill is in direct line with Mr.. George
land theories. The latter said: This bill,
based on the lines of the direct tax under
the Constitution as imposed first In 1I0S,
again in 1913, and finally in 1861, differs
materially only in this. that whereas the
tax was levied then on lands, dwelling
houses and improvements.an and originally also
on slaves, Maguire's bill strikes out every
thing except the first item. land values.
and it also makes no deduction, did the
act OF 1861, upon a certain value, $500, to
each occupying owner"
What is the meaning of the provision as
to mortgaser and mortgagee?" Mr.. George
was asked.
rs il an attempt to prevent the tax i'm
posed falling upon the mortsager exclusive
ly, and aims at treating the two parties, al
they really are, as joint owners in the
property to be taXed?
1T is; or rather, while Judge Mcguire Of
fers this bill without any exemption, for
the purpose of putting clearly the single
tax principle, some one elSe probably Tom
L. johnson. will propose an amendment,
making an exemption similar to that of the
income tax bill, so as to offer a clear sub
stitute for that bill The exemption OF
improvements will do away with the objec-
ton to the direct tax. that bears with I'M
due weight upon the western and southern
states, where the estimates of wealth are
much less in proportion to property than in
the north and east. for where land values
alone are taxed. the tax must fall not upon
the residents of the state where the land
exists, but upon the owners of the land
whether they are residents of that state CT
residents of the eastern states or of Eu-
rope.
"A great proportion of the land of the
west and south, as well as the greater pro-
| portion of the mortgages upon it. are held
! in the east and in Europe. IT will not take
! the people Of the west and south long tc
| see that the constitutional and just meas
! ure proposed by Judge Mcguire Is really .
/ far better and more efficient way of put
| ting the burden Of taxation upon those who
! are SO rapidly coming to own the whole
| country than any income tax that can ever
! be devised"
/ Judge Maguire's bill Is, then, purely @
| single tax measure? was suggested.
! 1T is" answered Mr.. George, emphatic
ally, land it is the thin end Of the wedge. .

Rev. DIR. Parkburst Describes the Diff
ference.

Rev. DIR. Parkhurst, the crusader against
the New York police department. has ex-
cited considerable comment by the remark
IN an interview that beer gardens Is run in
Germany were fine institutions. When
spoken to about 1t he said:
1T Is true that commended, and do COM
mend. the German beer gardens, but l do SO
because they are such a delightful contrast
to the saloons of New York. In the Ger
man gardens drinking is a mere incident of
social enjoyment. Here 1t is the chief pur
pose Of a visit to saloon Here men make
hogs Of themselves. They are possibly
worse hogs when they come out of a saloon
than when they go in. Mrs. Parkhurst and
/ have been all over Germany and visited
many beer gardens, and we have enjoyed
ourselves. We had the same pleasure when
we were in Sweden at the beer gardens.
The best people frequent these places abroad
There Is no swilling of liquor. l never saw
anybody Intoxicated in the gardens. Family
groups sat about the tables listening to the
really excellent music They bring their
children with them to share their enjoy
ment. and IL they are too poor to afford the
luxury Of buying sandwiches at the garden
they bring luncheon with them and order
some beer to go with 1t.
Il found the whole picture, especially at
night, when these gardens are brightly light
ed. one most delightful for contemplation.
There was an air of comfort and content
ment that was very gratifying. / under
stand that attempts have been made to in
troduce similar gardens in this city, but
have failed. Perhaps it is irnpracticable in
crowded city like New York. That is to
be regretted. for the garden would be in
every way preferable to the saloons. People
who would object to this statement would
not do 50 IL they were aware how great is
the distance between the German beer gar
den and the New York saloon. / am not
going to start beer garden myself"
Dr. Parkhurst laughed as he said this.

feeling well repaid for attending. 1t would
take several columns Of The Star to ade-

for there were solos, choruses. testimonies

first part Of the meeting Capt. Taylor's
guitar and the tambourines of othe- on
GERS and soldiers. the martial music, the
Joyous shouts and the rejoicing testimonies
made everybody feel at home and warmed
all hearts for the tender and touching ap-
peals to the uncovered in song and exhor-

interesting that almost everybody stayed
right through. Nothing could be brighter
