PATRIOTISM
A Peaceful Challenge to It's Advocates
Reprinted From the New York Even
ing Post and the Yonkers
Statesman

Editor independent: For many
years I have carefully studied the
popular idea of patriotism, both as a
sentiment and as practical truth.
My conclusion is that there exists a
great deal of misaIprehension, and |
feel prompted at this time of special
patriotic fervor to present my views.
/ invite, and even challenge, any OF
your readers who do not agree with
me to prove that am in error.
First-There is not in any part OF
the Bible even sentence that requires
or iustifies patriotism"
Second-The sentiment called By
this name, like the word which ex-
presses it, is probably of heathen
origin.
Third-The usual definition Of pa
triotism is "love of country" The
man who seeks to learn what this
phrase means and to carry out it's
teachings in his life attempts hope
less task.
Fourth-It is an exaggerated form Of
selfishress and is one of the devils
most successful devices to deceive and
mislead the human race.
Fifth-It is, in fact, delusive meth
cd of inducing violation of the sixth
commandment-"Sh shalt not kill
and is practically in opposition to
the spirit of the other nine.
Sixth-Ministers and others who
teach the coordinate obligation of re-
ligion and patriotism have no war
rant IN Scripture, and the practice
largely accounts for the diminished
moral tone and tendency to skepti-
cism among the people.
Seventh-The religious organization
which sends missionaries to foreign
nations to preach the gospel of peace
and good will and the duty of self
surrender and obedience to God, ard
rests its claims for support on the
value of the human soul, and at the
same time approves of and advices its
members to enlist for war, occupies a
The independent., 1903-04-09
position so absurd as to be essential

position SO absurd as to be essential
grotesaue
Eighth-No man has a right to risk
his own life, which is trust for whict.
an account must be rendered. except in
the effort to benefit his fellow men.
Ninth-The claims of the state are
inferior to the claims of God, and
should be regulated by our relations
and obligations to Him.
Tenth-The continued life and pros
perity of nations depends primarily
and indispensably upon righteousness
Eleventh-No government has a
right to make training for war a
fixed employment Tor its citizens, anu
every man who thus devotes his life
violates divine law and jeopardizes his
happiness for eternity.
Twelfth-The maintenance OF a
navy, except for police purposes. such
as may be required to suppress piracy
or other open violations of human and
divine law, cannot be justified.
Thirteenth-It follows that the
study of the art of war in military
and naval academies has a demoral. :.
izing influence, and that the tendency
is to blunt the moral perception and
unfit men who pursue 1t for useful
lives.
Fourteenth-It is disgrace to
Christian people that men who have
excelled in the deceptive arts and
brutal destruction of life, limb anG
property involved in war should be
hailed as benefactors, treated with ex.
ceptional honor and often placed in
high Official positions.
Fifteenth-This nigh estimate OF
the merit and proper reward for mill
tary service disparages self-denying
men and women who consecrate theis
lives to the effort to lift up and save
their fellow men, and makes a false
standard of excellence.
Sixteenth-It places brute force
above moral worth, fosters worldliness
and low ideals, and ignores the fact
that man is to be judged by mind
and heart and that what he thinks
and how much he loves is the true
test of worth.
Seventeenth-A nation that main
tains great army and navy to be
indispensable for prOtectlOn dlSreSards
the Bible requirement of trust in and
dependence on God, and eventually
will reap a harvest Of disappointment
and humiliation.
Eighteenth-Th teaching of 'tpa
triotism" in public schools is illogi-
cal and harmful and will lower the
tone of citizenship with the coming
generation. The salutation offered a
piece of bunting called the flag is a
form of idolatry.
Nineteenth-The true patriot inter-
prets "love of country" to signify love
for the people who are in it. He will
express this feeling by special in
terest in their welfare and effort to
make them the purest, noblest and
happiest among the nations of the
earth. This love will necessarily ex-
pand into worldwide love, for all
men will have common origin, need,
nature and destiny.

ALL LOSSES PAID PROMPTLY
AGENTS WANTED.

Insuring crops against loss by
hail is becoming more popular
every year. The United Mu-
tual Hail Insurance Company
organized in 1899 is the largest.
best and most successful hail
! insurance company doing busi-
ness in the state. 1t pays all
losses promptly. Since it's or
ganization it has written 9,066
policies of insurance aggregat-
ing $5,310,000 of risks. 1t has
paid 1,949 loss claims amount
ing to $147,315.10. The insur-
ance has cost the policy holders
only one-half as much as old
line fire insurance companies
receive proportionate to the
amount Of losses paid. No one
raising crops can afford to take
the risk of losing his crops by
hail when he can get this pro-
lection with thousands of the
best farmers of the state. Last
year the United Mutual carried
$1,740,694 insurance and paid
S27710 in losses. They paid in
losses more than four times as
much as the combined payments
of all other hail insurance COM
panies doing business in the
state.

How Denver, Colorado Proposes to Tax
Municipal Affairs Out Of National
Politics


The people of Colorado amended the
state constitution so as to give the
city of Denver complete, absolute and
bona fide home rule. The triplicate
government, with city, county and
state officials with the horde OF office
holders have been abolished and now
the city of Denver and the county of
Arapailoe are one thing and goyci ned
by one set of officers. A new char
ter for the city will be formed and a
convention is soon to be elected to
formulate the fundamental law. To
get rid of the ward heeler, partisan
and national politics, a new scheme
for selecting the candidates for the
convention has been evolved. The
plan is as follows:
''The said nominating convention
shall be composed of 353 delegates, to
be selected respectively by the follow
ing civic bodies, and apportioned as
follows:
Chamber of commerce ..25
Real estate exchange. ge..............25 70
Woman's club .................... 20
Incorporated trades assembly. ......2o
Unincorporated trades assembly. rs
Grand Army of the Republic. 70
Municipal league ................. 70
Civic federation ..................l5 10
Carpenters and contractors asst ID
Retail grocers and butchers ass n. l0
Denver teachers association. 10
Citizens league ..................lO lO
Ministerial alliance ..............lO

Law enforcement league ..........l0 IL
Direct legislation league ..........l0
Women's Christian Temp. union. 10
North Side Woman's club. 10
Druggists association ..............1 .1O
= German-American Central Verein. lO
Denver bar association ...........l lU
Four daily papers e each). ........ 8
Denver County Medical society,". 5
"The republican and democratic
political parties of the city and coun-
ty of Denver are hereby requested to
select and transmit to the said nonii-
mating convention the names OF at
least twenty-one high class, qualified,
public-spirited citizens from which
said convention may select seven can
didates for members of the said char
ter convention"
That scheme involves representa-
tion of all the various interests OF city
life and does not leave the fate OF the
city to the schemes of partisan con-
tention. There is a good deal in 1t to
think about. The large representation
of women results from the fact that
women are voters i'll Colorado.

sitively the largest circulation

EATING ACCORDING TO SEX.
Man Needs More Food and Air Than
Woman Because He Expends
More Energy.

The layman will not be a little aston
ished at the claim made by the London
Lancet that the male human needs
more food than the female; not only
on account of his larger stature, but
also because he is the more katabolic
of the two. The man tends to expend
energy, and the woman to store it up
in the form of fat; he burns he faster:
this sexual difference shows itself in
the very blood; the man has a larger
percentage of chromocytes than the
woman, showing that he needs a pro-
portionately larger quantity of oxygen
in order to maintain this more active
combustion. Moreover, weight for
weight, his pulmonary capacity is
greater than that of the woman whose
smaller respiratory need is further
shown by the facility with which she
can without discomfort diminish her
breathing power by means of the cor
set. Attention may be drawn to the
fact that men are apt to be larger
meat eaters than women, Just as thew
