BY the Immortal Thomas Paine
PAINE'S RELIGION.

Il believe in God and no more and I hope
for happiness beyond this life.
Il believe in the equality of man; and believe
that religious duties consist in doing justice low
ing mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow
creatures happy.
But some perhaps will say-Are we to have no
word of God-no revelationY I answer Yes there
is word of Cod there is revelation
THE word of God is the Creation we behold;
and it is in this word, which no human invention
can counterfeit or alter that God speaketh univer-
sally to man. It breaches to all nations
and to all worlds and this word of God reveals to
man all that is necessary for man to know of God

PAINE's POLITICS.

Society in every state is blessing, but govern
ment even in its best state, is but necessary evil;
IN its worst state an ntolerabe one; for when we
suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a.
government which we might expect in country
without government, our calamity is heightened by
rejecting that we furnish the means by which we
suffer Security being the true design and an end
OF government it unanswerably follows that what
ever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it
to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit
is preferable to all others. ''-COMnION SENSE.

Prosecution by Federal Court.

PROSECUTION Dy Ee0eTa1 court.
The Baltimore and Ohio in the present
case has turned the prosecution over to
the federal court here. 1t has ferreted
out alleged wrongdoing on the part of
labor union members and has shifted on
the government the trial and the decision.
If the men are guilty then it is said the
railroads will be in a position to state
that many of the charges brought against
them in the past in discriminating in pas
senger and freight rates and in other
ways was not due to any policy on the
part of those managing the roads, but
must be attributed in whole or in part to
employees who could not be fully trusted.
The decision. 1t Is thought will put up
to President Roosevelt the issue in a
broad and open light by bringing to his
attention some recent utteranceS made
relative to union labor and the course of
railroad arrangements.
In other words this issue may bring
squarely before the government the ques-
ton as to whether or not the railroads or
| members of labor organizations are the
| more to be relied upon in observing laws
enacted for the good of all.
Government Agents Busy.
The railroads have known for a long
time that the government has had it's
agents going over the lines in the country
in effort to detect violations of the
| free pass law. The interstate commerce
commission sends its representatives. to
| the headquarters of these companies with
| the demand to see the books and free
transportation stubs. This is also done
| with the view of discovering. whether or
not any unauthorized persons have been
carried without cost. One of these agents
visited the auditors Office of the Balti-
more and Ohio only a few days ago.
In the present case it looks as If the
| Baltimore and Ohio had gone the govern
| ment ''one better" 1t placed it's own
| ''spotters' at work and promptly reported
| the presumed dereliction. This, it is said.
| is convincing that the railroads are as
| anxious the government to have the
| law observed, and are willing to aid in its
! enforcement. This action should it is
thought. appeal to the public. as it shows
| the desire of these corporations to live up
to all laws enacted for their control, and
that much OF the odium which has been
| placed upon them. from high sources at
times. is not altogether deserved.
| 1t would be unfair in these cases, 1t Is
| asserted, to judge of the guilt or the innQ-
! cence of the accused before the evidence
| for and against them is taken in court.
| Some Observation-Disclosures may develop
| which might put phase on the case
| which will entirely relieve the conductors
| of any intent of wrongdOing. At all
| events however, railroad men assert, II
| must relieve the companies of any suspi-
| cions the public or any part of 1T may
have that they at any time deSirous

umphant captain.
Mrs. Bardell and her pretty daugh-

Uncas the following morning. were
flattered and surprised by the manner
of their reception. Capt. Boggs, re-
splendent in gold-braided cap and

bowed magnificently to his visitors.

who might have witnessed his exalted
state The dignity Of the proceedings
was somewhat marred by the ire

formed the escort of the party, but
with this trifiing exception all passed

From the moment the Uncas cast

menced her voyage. the autocratic
sway of Capt. Boggs assumed truly
gorgeous proportions. The crew, en-.

Still grumbling over the cold injus-
