his own direction was made part of the
records of the court.
The witness was questioned by Mr. Ray
ner as to why he signed the chart agreed
upon by the navigators If he was not salts
fled that 1t was correct, and he repeated his
former statement that it was the best they
could agree upon. They had fixed the posi-
tion of the Brooklyn at first simply on the
testimony of the navigator. The witness
said that he had passed $50 or 200 yards
from the Oregon on the day Of the battle,
when they were going in parallel directions.

Schuetxc's Own Chart.
The judge advocate presented another
chart to the witness and asked him If he
knew anything about that. He replied that
it had been drawn under his own direction
and he had plotted on it the positions of
the Iowa IN relation to the vessels of the
Spanish fleet.
One of the cadets had drawn the chart
and the witness himself had given him the
data for the location of the Iowa. He re-
garded this chart was more accurate than
the chart that had been reported by the

chart he himself had signed No Ameri-

SHALL WE TOLERATE THE
CHURCHES?
A Reply to "Shall the Citizens of II A..
wall Tolerate IwieiiW

wall Tolerate lwieli?"
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do"
Principally the Churches.
Some one has published discourse
ty the Reverend Abraham r. Carv q
pamphlet that should never have been
published at all.
The subject is one that Is proper
for men to discuss, but not for women
and children to read, particularly chill
dren.
AS 1t stands today undoubtedly care
less persons have left copies Of this
vicious publication around where it
has fallen into tender hands, with its
definition of certain words and de-
scriptions Of immoral life, opened the
f1oodgates of knowledge to the inno-
cent and pure.
Rev. Abraham E. Cory evidently
had his misglvings as to the course
he was pursuing when he delivered
his lecture, for he says: 81 have con-
sldered the propriety of discussing
such questions in the presence of mix
ed audience, ETC., etc." Then he said
he decided it was "but a sacred duty"
Consider the amazing impudence, the
blasphemy. Sacred duty" What
could the listeners have been thinking
of to have permitted his continuance
of the subject until the women and
children had been dismissed?
AS to the value of the pamphlet, it
contains facts, ,--miststatements and
hypothetical deductions, but the glar-
ing fact remains while probably it will
fail of its purpose. The closing of Iwi-
lei yet will remain as a sample of
splendid CD Christian literature for
our women and children to digest.
Why We Should Not Tolerate
Churches.
First, for giving asses the moral
right" to bring to the attention of our
young subjects of which we (parents)
are striving to keep them in happy ig-
norance of.
Yes, until such time as they are ma
ture enough to decide on the right and
wrong of social evils, right that no
human, be he a divine. has moral
right" to determine for us.
Second, The church confesses hero
and the world over its inabilit. to, by
it's teachings and example, overcome
vice.
Whenever it meets vice it appeals
to the law.
Poor Church! Alas! you sit around
idly, yet levying tribute from the
world under the pretense of doing
good.
When there are a few souls to be
saved, the combating of vice by Chris.
tian methods, you shirk your duty and
call upon the law.
If the millions collected yearly by
the churches were only given to the
civil authorities for distribution what
noble work could be accomplished.
What is needed is sensible dis
tribution of the countless amounts of
money collected. The civil authori-
ties wouldn't, with such means at
hand, be crying for help to the
churches for the suppression of vice,
either. Confiscate the churches and
use them for the public good.
Ostensibly the church exists and Is
supported because its mission in life
is to seek and to save, and it ought
to be content to do so, instead of
bowling for the civil arm to come to
its help and do it's (the church's)
work.
Instead of killing the heather abroad
why not kill the wicked at home who
do not agree with you? Besides, we
feel more like patronizing home indus.
