Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1908-03-22
MANUSCRIPT DECLINED.

The Blade has always invited honest
and intelligent criticism. 1t still in
vites it. AT the instance of one, j. o.
Smith, of Bronson, Michigan, the
Blade expressed its objections to Chris
tianity and gave an opportunity for
reply on the condition that the reply
denote an intelligent understanding of
the subject, and should not consist of
mere biblical quotations. Upon the
hypothesis that the said j. o. Smith
had converted an infdel editor, Of
twenty-five years standing" we felt
somewhat interested in what he might
have to write and believed that a foe
man had been found worthy of our
steel who was willing to enter the
arena of polemic debate. We have
been grievously disappointed in the
result
Before extending more pressing
invitation we made inquiry ourselves
and simply laid low. The responses
received were not fattering. We wait
ed. AT last a manuscript reached our
office, enough to fill three pages of the
Blade, and not solitary new idea can
be found in the entire collection OF
words. 1t was just as we expected it
would be. A compilation of bible
quotations which we have long since
discarded as incapable of the slightest
proof. We regret that so much labor
has been spent upon its preparation
for our columns and then feel COM
PEELED to deny it the space demanded.
Were the article of any merit what
ever, for us or against us, it could have
been divided and continued from one
week to another, but we entertain too
much respect for our readers to afflict
them with such a conglomeration OF
words. Hence, the manuscript has
been returned to the author with our
deep regret.
1t is passing strange that they who
might be deemed capable of defending
the Christian proposition decline the
controversy, and only fools will rush
in where the angels themselves fear to
tread. Christianity has nothing to
gain by such an advocacy 1t betrays
it's inherent weakness AMI it is too
much to expect that Freethinlers will
waste time upon such trifes. Useful
discussion, on both sides, is invaluable,
as it has tendency to uncover hidden
truth. While we regret the denoue-

sitiOn, we cannot call it argument, for
it is unworthy such a designation, is,
that god can both create worlds
and build houses The former is so
stupenduOus in comparison with the
latter that if god can accomplish the
former he can surely perform the lat
ter. But where is the house that god
built? No answer! Then where is the
world that god createdY Still no an
swer Creation implies destruction,
humiliation. God must also be de-
stroyer and an annihilator. He an
swers his suggestion, however with
the latter:
If something cannot come from
nothing and there is something now
something must always have existed"
That is just it. Something must
have existed. Therefore god did not
create something At the best he
could only change or transform. This
being true god is not creator but
changer or transformer ana is no high

position of the atheist. If something
has always existed there is no creation,
on the ground of necessity. If there
was no creation there was no creator.
No creator, no god. No god, Chris
tianity is fake and Mr. Scovelle a
fakir. 1t would appear that this
evangelist is fiOundering in deep water
and he knows not how to swim. He
does not understand the universe and
is unable to comprehend it. He knows
all about god and is trying to tell it.
Let us pity the converts he makes and
pity the benighted ignorance that can
make over such fy-specks.
His titan intellect has led him into
another ditch which our readers will
be able to discover in the following:
"Agnostic means know nothing and
that's about what he knows"
The quotations we have used indi-
Gates that this evangelist for god and
cash has not even reached the stage of
agnosticism Of course, he pretends
to know, and seeks to impress his in
capable audiences with the belief that
he does know. He knows that he does
not know and we know that he cannot
know. What is more he knows that
we know that he does not and cannot
know and this knowledge ought to put
a quietus on his tongue. Brazen eff
frontery is always impairment. 1t
leads to false pretense. If he will care

be capable of finding out where he is

FOUND DEAD

J. Campbell. an old trapper, was

Springs last Friday morning. The
remains were discovered by Clar.
ence Dangberg and Fritz Nedden-
riep, who were hunting ducks in

west side OF the Valley for many
years and during the winter
months trapped small animals for
their pelts. As far as known he
had no relatives living in this
part of the country. His remains

WILL APPEAL TO
SUPREME COURT

In not granting a new trial to +.
G. Everett the decision was not
based upon evidence introduced be-
fore Judge Langan but merely on
point of technicality. 1t was a
statutory error made by Mr.. YER
milyra, former lawyer of the de-
fendant, who failed to file motion
for new trial before sentence war
passed on Mr.. Everett. We are
informed that an appeal will be
made to the Supreme Court and
that the lawyers of the defendant,

From one who recently visited

spells with which he is affected.

Just how long the patrons of the
Truckes River Electric company
will need put up with the abomin-
able service that has been COM
mon occurrance of late, is a ques-
ton that is disturbing the peaceful
minds of the residents of this burg.
We overheard several business
men talking on the subject few
days ago and they were of the
opinion that the service would re-
main the same until cooperative
plant was built on the Carson river
some six miles above Gardnerville
whore 100 horse power could be
generated with very little difficulty
and at the same time would be a
proposition that would be divi-

Other towns that use the power
of this company have been in the
same difficulty and especially Car
son. The leading paper there
served notice on the company that
better service was desired and ac-
cording to a recent notice we learn
that the request was granted. We
have bundled up one of this weeks
papers and fired it along to Mr..
"Flyspscker" and it may be that he
will either buy the site on the

service. However, it is safe to as
