Atheism is the zero of hope.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-05-27

The idea Of putting spectacles on
horse to make him lift his feet higher
than he otherwise would, because tho
glasses make him think he is nearer
the ground than he is, may be quite
agreeable to those who think that the
Creator made mistake in giving the
horse a tail; but every person who
possesses the humanity without which
no one should be allowed to deal with
animals and who has the common
sense to Gee what is right will regard
the proposition with disgust. If the
man wants only high stopper" let
him buy the coach horse, which is
bred for the purpose, and not try to
make a coacher out of cart horse.
Similarly, If he wants a horse that
carries his head high, let him buy one
of the breed that does so by nature,
instead of one that has to be strapped
up till his neck aches. But as to the
tail, we believe that the law now
recognizes the use Of that appendage
as the horses only defense against the
torture of flies, mosquitoes and gnats
and makes docking" a penal offense
hereafter, as 1t ought to Bedrock

tive Pharisees in council, call men
will believe on him and the Romans
shall come and take away both our
place and nation" Why? Because he
taught obnoxious religious doctrine?
Look We to that; for will be no
Judge Of such matters" said the proud
Roman. Why then? Simply because
he taught obnoxious political and So
cial doctrines. That is why Jesus was
tried and crucified, and that Is why
he was accused and bounded by the
Pharisees and scribes and lawyers and
priests and rulers-the conservatives
the Mark Hannas, the Rockefellers,
the Goulds, the Morgans, the Pills
burys and the like sort of his day.
They, indeed, accused him Of BIAS
phemy and impiety at his preliminary
trial before their own tribunal. But
that was mere farce, as the narrative
shows. When the ecclesiastical num-
merry was done with, the prisoner was
hurried to the Roman judgment seat,
where alone lay the power Of life and
death, and there condemned as an en-
envy to Caesar, a disturber Of the
peace, an agitator, crank and "pesti-
lent fellow" The common people,
the Bryan anarchists of the day
heard him gladly and loved him. But
they were powerless to help or to save
him. And amid the congratulations
of all the conservatives in Jerusalem
he was dragged before a Roman tri-
bunal, tried for being a pestilent dis
turber Of the peace, convicted and
cruci1ed. That is the story of the
trial of Jesus Christ.-Phil Francis in
Stockton Mail.

The Gears Haye Made Their Mark.

If it were possible to resurrect a
Winthrop or a Hancock from the old
Kings Chapel graveyard, and to show
him the wealth. and glittering splen-
dor Of Boston, it would be impossible
to convince the bewildered Puritan
that in the midst of such. incalculable
riches the. dark spectre Of poverty was
still permitted to exist. When 1t was
explained to him that gyer-produc-
ton was. the cause of want, and that
all the improvements of. machinery
and organization of industry had only
made 1t more difficult. for the average
man to exist, he would exclaim in
amazement, Take me back to. the
graveyard; for truly this is wicked
and peryerse generation" ~
In 1S45 Mr.. Carey, the political
economist, described thisist of ours
as follows: ...,
"In Massachusetts ali have property
and invest their surplus upon their
own possessions. Every man lives on
his own farm and in his own house.
He works in his own shop, or may if
he wishes. He drives bis own horse.
sails his own boat, or works in the
mill of which he is part owner"
If this account be true there were at
that time mo social or industrial classes
in Massachusetts, but fifty changeful
years have made their mark upon this
state since then. Only ,22 per cent of
pur citizens own their'holhes clear Of

The Gentleman from Mars.

In the course of his journeying on
the earth, the gentleman from Mars
came to a great rnd wonderful coun-
try. Through it majestic rivers ran,
and its soil, stretching away for I'm
known leagues, was of remarkable
fertility. Here he wandered for
time, whistling after the Ball" softly
to himself when he met a citizen OF
earth, whose face was very sad.
"Mornin'," said the Marian.
"Mornin'."
Whats the matter?"
Hungry"
why don't you eat?"
mo money"
Work and get some."
Cant get none"
Work on this great tract Of land;
raise wheat, corn, potatoes-all such
things. See?"
"The owner won't hire me"
THE WHAT?"
Owner won't hire me-"
Whats the owner!'
"Why, them as that owns it."
Does one man own this land?~
"Of course"
well, I'll be bio Say, didn't God
make this land?"
1--WE heard So"
Didn't he make it for all his chill
dren, that they might live?"

dunno"
How does it happen that one man
owns it all?"
why, the law gives it to him, OF
course"
who makes the law"
1--WE do, of course"
who's WEI"
why, the voters; me and the rest
of us-the sovereign people"
And you make laws giving one man
a great fertile tract of land like this,
which he can let lie idle If he chooses,
while you beg for work and starve for
food?"
"Ye-es."
would you kindly take off your hat
and let me see the shape of your head?"
And the gentleman from Mars cut
the anchor of his airship and sailed
away, repeating What fools these
mortals be!"-Dr. George w. Carey,

A Fine Piece of Stupidity.

Now that the Philadelphia water
works have been turned over to pri-
vate corporation, 1t is found that the
plant failed to pay because the capital
lists paid the city officials to manage
it so that it would be losing bust
ness. That done, the city council was
bribed to turn the plant over to pri-
vate company. Nothing can be done
about it, however. The people, swindled
out of their property, must now pay
high tax to the thieves who stole 1t.
If that isn't a fine piece Of asinine
stupidity there never was any. Yet
IL a petition was circulated among the
Philadelphia suckers to provide for
direct legislation in the city govern
ment they would say that the people
are not ready for it" and that it
wouldn't work." If they like the way
the present system works, they ought
to "get it in the neck" It's good
system for anyone who likes that kind
of system.-Coming Nation.

Useless Loss to Labor.

The loss of labor in begging for
work is sad to contemplate. With four
men waiting and watching for one job
and the whole transient population
hunting about for odds and ends OF
employment, 1t takes about four days
labor to find one days work. Under
the proper system Of exchange there
would be no floating population prowl-
ing about in search of bones and crusts
thrown from the tables Of those who
are so fortunate as to have anything
left over. All would have homes and
be secured in the right of self-employ-
ment at fair rates Of exchange. 1t Is
just as great an indignity for a man
to be obliged to ask employment from
fellow being as it is to ask for
bread.-The Commoner. Portland, Ore.

Who Crucified CHRISTI

That the conservative classes of the
Jews hated Jesus for teachings which
were inimical to them we know. But
it is clear that 1t was because his
teachings stirred up the people, not
against the spiritual authority of the
Pharisees and priests, but against their
greed, their robbery and their hypoc-
risy. 1t was because he denounced
the rich who robbed them that 1.-THE
common people heard him gladly" 1t
was because he preached of social
conditions radically wrong" that the
rulers hated him. Hath any of the
Pharisees or the rulers believed on
this fellow?" asked they scornfully of
the officer who hesitatsd to arrest
Jesus. Put the people are mad" "If
we let him alone" said the conserva-
