THE DOLLAR GOD.
The Almighty Dollar Is the God We

Worship.
Entirely regardless Of the vast num-
Der of churches created in the United
States and dedicated with more or less
romp to the worship OF the Living
God" the almighty dollar is the god
we worship, at least six days in the
week, and going to church on Sundays
is little more than a spectacular parade
in which the votaries of fashion display
their elegant costumes. In word. as
Prof. W. c. Bowman, of Los Angeles.
Cal, puts it, we are a nation of Mann
mon worshipers. "Mammon," says
the Professor, signifies material
wealth, and by personification, the god
of material wealth. So tie worship OF
getting, or the amassing of material
wealth. This "Mammon worship -
| says the Professor, lis the one deadly
fountain whence flows every stream OF
bitterness, vice and ruin. Why do men
run saloons, gambling hells and Ala
media cribs? For money. Why do
men lie, steal, rob and murder on the
men sell their votes, public officials
their influence, politicians their country
| and women their virtue? All for
the money. Why is the world cursed
with beggars in the midst of plenty.
and its cities with sweating hells" q
blighted child-life? Greed for money.
Why is the press muzzled, the pulpit
| intimidated and the courts prostituted ?
Money"
MaGifestly, the sturdy Professor fair
ly estimates the debauching processes
of the money power in the United
States. 1t is the dominating power in
religion and legislation. 1t corrupts
dollars.
Professor Bowman says hope lies in
| one direction only. The church and
the state must both be converted to the
truth-and turn away from the wor-
ship of Mammon-the Mammon Of un-
righteousness-to the worship of God
the God of righteousness. Mammon
monopoly-the money power-must
be dethroned. His altars-the banking
shrlneS-must be torn down. His
priests = the bankers, bondholders,
landlords, lendlords, monopolists-
must all be unfrocked; and the whole
robber system Of rent, interest. and
profit, must be destroyed root and
| branch, and where it stood must be
planted the tree of life-the true wor-
ship of God"
The conversion of the church need
| not be discussed, but the conversion of
the nation is question entirely Of

cats was a fad which he shared with
Cardinal Mazarin, Cardinal Riche,ieu.
Charles Stewart Parnell, and other emf

Newton should not be omitted from
the list of eat-lovers, nor that of Ma

bered, had SO great a regard for the
comfort of his pet eat that once when
he found her asleep on his robe he
would not awaken her, but, cutting out
that part of his robe upon which she
lay, removed the other mutilated part
carefully and left tabby undisturbed.

of cats. Have you ever read the letter

''As long as the railroads are per-
mitted to be managed as private prop
erty and are used by their managers for
speculative purposes or other personal
gain, or as long even as they are used

their proper functions; and they
will not serve their real purpose until
