On Dec. 8, 19o0S, a meeting was held
by the leading citizens of Hegewisch
for the purpose of organizing a club
to disconnect Hegewisch from the city
of Chicago. The following officers were
elected: DIR. z. E. Oder, resident; Mr..
M. c. Zacharias, secretary; Mr.. Daniel
Jordan, treasurer.
The sole purpose and object of this
club will be to endeavor to disconnect
egewisch from the city of Chicago.
The people of Hegewisch are very
dissatisfied with the present treatment
they receive from the city of Chicago
and came to the conclusion that the
only way they can obtain the neces-
sary improvements will be by discon
nection.
IF the city will not give us service
| for which we are willing to pay, and
refuses to grant franchise to the I'LL
nois Central railway to cross certain
streets in which would be the greatest
blessing to the town, why should we
belong to such city?"s Is the cry in

Crown Point still has several streets

streets were put in last summer and
with twice that much next season the
streets will be In fairly good condi-
ton. Good streets are a paying in

much to the value of property.

time but heaven always in the future something
to encourage speculation
Let it be distinctly understood, however, that both
god and future life still remain theories. ircap-
able Of proof, a mirage that shrnks into nothing
ness before earnest and scrutinzing gaze.
In the last issue Of the Blade appeared commune
cation from William Smith, M. d., of Munce, Ind,
in which series of questions propounded and
answers thereto requested Prima facie the letter
indicates good intention honest motives and desire
to learn or to know 1t is easy matter to ask ques
tons. To answer them is another matter In the
first place the answers may not prove satisfactory
and the labor expended thereon is thereby l-spent
child may PROFOUND more questions in one minute
than the brightest among could in life
time Briefly stated, the questions which the Blade
has been requested to answer, as follows:
l. How do you know there is god?
2. How do you know that man has not an immortal
principle that does not exist beyond the grave!
3. What builds different bodies from protOpasm?
4. Has protoplasm mind, and is it able to commun-
cate with other protOplasm and exchange ideas9
The first and second questions absurd They
altogether improper. Furthermore, they il
logical In propounding them the interrogation is in
visiting that the person interrogated shall undertake
to prove a negative. The first and most elementary
principle of logic is that the burden of proof rests
upon the affirmative OF a given proposition and not
upon him who the negative
No thinker will question the truth of this PROPOSE
ton namely, that which is incapable of being proven
remains unproven, and until the believer in god pro-
duces demonstrable fact in proof of his theory
the presumption lies against the believer and not
against the unbeliever The question could have been
put in more debatable form by simply asking that
reasons be given why we do not believe in god.
Taking the question propounded the best
that could be given is that the inability of the
believer to prove god leads to disbeeve in god
and the further fact that the believer does not abso
lutey know there is god, he merely believes, we are
justified in questioning gods existence until satisfac
tory proof is Forthcoming.
Man only know god through sensation, posi-
lively, or he may assume to infer god from the phe
nomena of nature. We doubt not that even Dr. Smith

BLUE GRASS BLADE

must admit that cannot sensate god, and, there
FORE the believer is forced to rely upon the argument
of inference. A casual study of natural phenomena
fails to justify any such inference hence, we are
without belief in god and must so remain until the
believer adduces satisfactory proof.
The proper proceeding lat this point, is to ask the
believer-How do you know there is god?
1t is indeed truth that ''man's belief dis
belief is not always safe guide;' fact proved by
the existence Of the imumerabe religious sects and
this truth falls with greater force upon the believer
than upon the unbeliever.
By reason of having studied the Faculties of the
mind' as well ''creed and DOGMA we have been
enabled by comparison, to judge the latter at close
range and led to a dscarding of them altogether.
The questions marked numbers and are more
to the point, but it is necessary that better under
standing, mutual be had before an an
swer is attempted
Question No. 3 may be answered by saying the
law of natural selection applied to the develop
ment and origin of species, first propounded by
Charles Darwin and elaborated upon by Ernst
Haeckel, furnish a more satisfactory explanation of
the principle here involved than any other we can
conceive
Approaching the next and last question COM
PEELED to ask what is meant by the term Mind? Is it
to be held, regarded as an entity, material sub
stance in itself, quality, attribute of material
processes? Is mind result?
Man enjoys certain mental processes or faculties.
Among these thought reflection, conception, per-
ception, memory, etc, and the combined operation of
all produces what call mind. When this mentality
to be, the mind simply ceases to be, and it
could not possibly continue to exist elsewhere
mind, when its necessary and primate
Mind them is not thing, substance,
tty, but like gravtation it is quality, attribute
of NATTER and when the form of matter producing the
quality attribute, undergoes change, the attri
butte also changes
From the above, and realizing that protopasm is
but formless speck, without distinctions of struct
ure and therefore without distinctions of function
protoplasm, such can have no mind know
and understand mind, but it is equally certain that the
primary principle from which mind develops, is in the
protoplasrn. becoming mind only as sensations begin
