Jed P. Ladd, Alburgh's represen-

The Lexow investigating commit

final adjournment Saturday. Super
intendent of police Byrnes was last
on the stand. OF course he was a
very innocent man, and before he left
the stand handed up copy of let

Mayor Strong.
There seems to be rather general

Parkhurst was right when he said
that if he, Byrnes, knew what was
going on he should be removed and if
he didn't know he should be bounced

Those school districts who had a
surplus two years ago and voted it
back to-the tax payers are now in the
soup, the supreme court having de-
cided that this money belonged to the
town, the legal successor of the dis
trict. Several districts in London
derry disposed of their surplus in this
manner, and now, in all probability
they will be required to refund or dis
gorge. There is lots of trouble in

Religion, as I understand it, is
belief in some kind OF God, and
mans acknowledgement of an obliga-
ton to him.
Now l profess to know something
about man and my duties to him, but
have no knowledge Of God. ! con-
fess my utter ignorance of him, and
| fail to understand how | am under
any obligations to a being whom !
never knew, and cannot know, so long
as he chooses 10 conceal his existence
from me. l do know, however,
that there are many who profess to
know great deal about God, his
purposes, will, and so fourth, but l
have always observed that those who
claim to know the most about God
know the least about man and their
obligations to him, and those who
pretend to know the most about an
other world know the least about this
one. Man may be religious without
being moral, and moral without being
religious. Some of the worst men
and women ! ever knew were church
members, and professed to be very,
very religious; and some Of the
finest, noblest and most charitable
people l ever met were members Of
no church, and professed no religion
whatever.
/ contend that any religion which
ignores our relation and our duties to
humanity is deception and fraud.
"People perish for the want OF knowl-
edge" The greatest curse in the
world is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the
laws which govern our existence here.
But what can be done for these I'M
fortunate bigots who decline to rea.
son! That patriot and philanthropist,
Thomas Paine, said: To attempt te
enlighten the mind of him who has
renowned his reason is like admins
tering medicine to dead man." Il
has been said, too, that ''He who vii
not reason, is bigot; who dare not
coward; who cannot, fool"
| Religion is a contagious disease
which at times breaks out and spreads
very rapidly, and if not prompt,
checked by sound, well balanced
minds, is sure to do great deal o
mischief. f. b. 5.
