all of my enemies, and all of them
have been seen by the world, to be
just what I said they were, and death
and drunkenness and oblivion have re-
moved them from public attention.
and, today, when have returned from
the Orient. to which | have gone to
further fit myself for efficiency in
combating the influence of people of
that kind. no man has been more cor
daily welcomed home than | have
been by good people of all kinds,
Christians and Infidels, and the Lex
ington Leader, by far the most influ-
entail papers that Lexington ever had,
or seems likely to have, is my cordial
friend in every thing that | under
take, though that paper is owned and
edited by the son of a Presbyterian
preacher who, as United States Rev
enue Collector, has charge of the
whisky interests of this State, and the
preachers and the whisky men have
been combined as my enemies.
1t is certainly true that Infidels can
only enjoy the rights that the Consti-
tuition of this government grants them
because Infidel papers are here to de-
| fend those rights, and if these Infidel
papers were all today, all over the
| United States, to fail at once, for the
want of support, Christian fanatics
would run riot over the liberties of
| this country. Remember that only a
few years ago, a Methodist preacher
in Lexington, imported here to preach
few years, man who told me that
he owed $95 5000, had me put in jail
in Lexington, for blasphemy against
the Holy Ghost-no charge that | had
violated the rights of any human be-
ing, but that | did not believe as he
did, and because all ghosts look alike
to me.
Certainly it is your duty to stand
by Mr.. Hughes with your money, not
merely your words; for words don't
go as collateral in our banks and gro
ceries and for newspaper supplies,
and see that he can keep up this work
that he has so faithfully done, and
with such meager compensation, until
any Infidel any where In the United
States, shall have just as much right
to express his opinion as any Chris
tian has.
Learn to make some sacrifice for
our cause. Spread Blades at so cents
/ year on the club plan. don't ask
you to give him one cent. | simply
ask you to pay him, in this way, so
cents a year for as good an lnfidel
paper as was ever printed.

Editor Charles c. Moore:
Dear Friend have seen in the
Blade, Mrs. Henry's kind request that
| shall be one of four to write articles
| for next weeks Blade. | am a nurse
and have only been at home once
since the ~ l.. p. Congress. My Blade
had not come and | borrowed one to
read while was on the cars to an
swer a call, and among the first
things that | saw was that l was ex-
pected to write something for the
Blade.
My time is all taken up, but l do
not like to say Il can't"
There are several things needed
| that are not mentioned by our writ
ers. One is dress reform, from infan-
| cy to old age. Infants are dressed al
| most to death. If they escape the
dressing and dosing and reach their
teens" the female half are all put
| on French heels, in stays and under
millinery. They must also wear a
Checker" collar. The ills caused by
such follies become local and the half,
that are satisfied with the ills they
have, exc out sort of nervous exist
ence that they call having a good
time" until they are called upon to
become mothers, then they bear, he
roicalIy, all the pain caused by this
foolish form of dress and unhygenia
| living, and go into a fit of Mysteries
over an unexpected sound or the sight

not of and AID to the above list

not describe the sufferings that | see
from this combination, and | ask that
some one give us a more sensible
style of dress.
| think ! can design a simple and
comfortable costume for the infant
and the GRANDMA; will some one give
us some for maids and matrons.
Since beginning this | have had to
lay it down hundred times, and |
cffer this as my apology for not writ
ing.
| take this occasion to send the
dollar for the Blade | ordered to my
mother.
| am all impatient to read Dog
Fennel." Did you bring all of those
souvenirs? If SO, break Capt. Burns
in two. He is my oldest friend made
when | can first remember, and | am
sure he won't mind it since it is
Tor me-conceit for you.
/ want DR.. Wilson's poems when
they are published.
With best wishes and love, / am
your real friend,

Brother Heather and Editor of the

| am called a heather by the ghost

more to me than the Bible is. The
Blade is for humanity and freedom

stition. | believe in the God of ma
ture. All things are natural, but the
orthodox Christian God and Saviour
Jesus Christ | think are myths.

deeeitful than men. 1t may be that
women practice more deceit than
men, not because they are by nature
more deceptive, but because laws and
| customs of society, and of church and
| State have always trampled on their
| human rights, and made them the
victims of sex tyranny of every form
A class in bondage whether they be
women or men, always practice deceit
and strategy, to protect or wrest their
human rights from a ruling class.
| Falsehood and deceit have no SEX
| The Bible does not have very high
| opinion of either women or men, for
| ii says woman is the cause OF all
| the evil in the world, and Psalms says
| put not your trust in men or princes"
| and that "all men are liars" | never
could unreservedly accept this text
| in Holy Writ. 1t seems to me it
should have said: NEARLY all men and
women are liars, with some doubt
about the veracity Of the rest.
| No stronger proof is needed to es-
tablish the fact that women are the
victims of sex tyranny than this. A
man was never heard to express the
wish that he were a woman, for the
reason that the human rights and lib
| critics of women, even the ownership
| of their bodies, are denied to them in
| Christian civilization, while millions
of women rebelling against their en-
shaved position, have wished they
were men, and for no reason, but that
men have more liberty than women.
| The most unjust type of sex tyran-
Il IL a-ID Of
| is general. The woman with even
| suspicion against her chastity is So
| cial outcast with a red letter branded
on her forehead, while man STEPPED
in moral leprosy is toast in social
and political circles and has the au-
| dacity to demand that his VIE ana
female relatives be "as pure as ice
and chaste as snow. Lord Broug-
ham spoke the truth when he said:
| Wherever the canon or civil law
touches woman it degrades ner'
| These have been the canker at the
heart of civilization. Every cruelty
| and Injustice that has been paralyZed
| through the ages, has been done
through the influence of freethought.
| What matters it to suffering world
| what the barbarians of Bible times
did or said? Better would 1t nave
been for humanity if their cruelties
had never been recorded. Sex tyran-
nv is a curse to the human race, and
| Freethinkers can do no more prac'
| teal work than to expend heroic ell
| fort to eradicate it root and branch
cut of theology, civil laws, and social
| customs When the faith of woman
is weakened and her reason aroused
| she will not be content with the pre-

demands of masculine priests, or rul'
ers.

Dear Sirs-Find enclosed money or

forward as soon as possible, as nave
taken several subscriptions Tor the

the Blade for three months, ana
like il very much. 1t is dead easy 10
ret subscriptions for the Blade; all
Won have to do, is to show them the
naner tell them about the subscrip-
ton cards and they go down in their
nockets at once for the half dollar
There is no reason why the Blade
ebould not have a circulation OF lOO,-
OO0 in a short time. Let every reader
of the Blade wake up and go to work
at once by sending for five dollars
worth of subscription cards. Certain
lv every reader of the Blue Grass
Rlade has enough pride about them 10
helm give the Blade a good big and
healthy circulation. Please mark me
down for one of Charles c. Moore's
Dog Fennels. Z. M DUB mnN.
COMMENT have always believed
that that is just what could easily De
done. His name is Dustman and he
comes down with the dust, and that
is what friends of the Blade must 90.
Christians talk a great deal about the
mower of prayer and a lot of rot OF
that kind but when they want TO
make their religion go they put up
their money. Just the same Is true
about Infidel propogandism. We have
got to fight the devil with fire-meet
Christian dollars with Infidel dollars,
and Christians will begin to weaken
and Infidels begin to strengthen when,
and only when, all parties see that
we are going to back our views by our
money.
BRO. Dustman's letter head shows
that he is manufacturer OF stone
ware and probably is in a fine busi,
ness. There are peopleslike that all
over America who believe as the
Blade does and they are increasing all
the time. Let such be sought out by
our friends and gain their influence
for the Blade and the possibilities OF

ANY PORT IN A STORM.

Harlan, Iowa, May 16, 1908.
Mr.. James E. Hughes, Lexington, Ky:
Dear Contradict was | who secured
the first Harlan club for the Blade,
and it consisted of eleven subscribers.
When the time expired some of our
club asked me to renew their sub
scription; but | did not know then
that | could get the old club rates,
besides some of the subscribers have
to be solicited and some did not wish
the paper any longer, and altogether
| did not wish to deprive others OF
the fun CD of getting up club. SO
gave my so cents to another and
told him to get up the club, which he
did. but got only five subscribers
Now, for some time | think the club
is in arrears and though a few are
~ 1t l-sss==tAe club continued
vet | cannot find the man to do the
business, and | suppose that II l don't
take it in hand it will not be done
| liked your plan as proposed with re-
gard to the cards and | will say this
if YOU will mail me five cards or ten,
I will try to dispose of them as soon
as | can. Think | can get ten, but IN
a reasonable time, if | do not dispose
of all | will return those not SOLD ana
remit you the balance due. 90 not
ask any commission or premium, only
don't wish to advance you the
money nor run any risk OF paying
more than 80 cents year if cannot
secure the full number of t1ve SUD
scribers. think | can get twice hve,
but I can't work for nothing and pay
hostage and money order fees and
then insure the full number. | VIII
make those who are in arrears date
hack or else pay. Yours truly,
] K. p. BAKER.
Comment-Yes, we are willing 10
do that-willing and glad to do so.
In some rare instances we would lose
by doing that, either from mere neg
ligence or indifference of people, but
in the large majority of cases all
such propositions are made In goou
faith and in many instances they Will
be observed all the more punctitlous'
" by those we trust, just from the
fact that we do trust them.
We want to show our faith in the
integrity of our people by showing
our confidence in them. in a case ike
this there is no risk except from accl'
dent or oversight, as the party Is q
tried and approved and known friend
of the Blade, but we are willing to dc
this in cases where we do not know
the parties we'll Give us a trial and
do by us as you would have us 10 DC
by you.
