Oklahoma along the river valleys
and in Northern Oklahoma and
Southern Kansas the farmers are
favored with a soil and climate that
make it possible to produce pork
very cheaply. The mlldness of
the climate makes IT unnecessary
to build expensive shelters for hogs

north, and the short open winters

The grand men and the noble women OF
history, who by precept and example, have
illustrated in their lives the priceless value
of rational religion, have no kinship with
those who have experienced the agonies of
a second birth, and passed through the
painful ordeal of conversion, and had their
sins washed away by the blood of a cruel

To this class belongs the priests and ty-
rants who have filled the earth with crime
and sorrow; to this class belongs all the
monsters of history who have been poison

superstition.
1t was this same virus of superstition
that influenced the supreme judges of Ath-

to the immortal Socrates because he taught
that virtue and morality were of infinitely

PERSISTENCE OF SUPERSTITION

thanks to the brave heroes and heroines
who have fought this demon until priests
no longer have the power to tear out the
tongues of men and women nor subject us
to the tortures of the stake and the flames
of the fagots.
All the meanness, all the hatred, all the
cruelties, all the infamies, and all the ma
lightly of which the human heart is capa-
BILE, grows and fiourishes when the mind
is poisoned by the devilish virus of super
stition; it was the priests of superstition
that invented the iron boots and iron collars
for the grand men and noble women of the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; it was
the priests of superstition that crowded the
dungeons of Europe for more than a thous-
and years with the good, the merciful and
the just.
Not satisfied with the suffering, the cruel
ties, and the agonies which they visited
upon good men, grand women and innocent
children in this world they invented an
everlasting burning hell of endless torment
for all honest men and women who wor-
shipped at the altar of the good, the beau
tiful and the true.
Every friend of humanity through all the
dark and bloody centuries, who has abored
to fill the world with light and love, has
been prosecuted by thieves. and millions
have been crucified, and burned by the muir
derous devotees of superstition.
AS an illustration of the awful and dabol-
ca effect of superstition on the human
mind, let me point out what would happen
in the beautiful city of Muncie where
live: If nationalist would tell his super
stitious neighbors that the sleeping dead in
Beech Grove Cemetery canno, come out of
their graves, clad in the habiliments of the
tomb, and walk through the streets of the
city they would kindly and cheerfully and
sensibly agree with you; but If you would
tell them that this never can happen, and
did not happen at Palestine two thousand
years ago, they would at once ienounce you
ms an infidel and an atheist, and very UNI
desirable citizen and prosecute you as If
YOU were a wild beast; or If you were to tell
them that none of the good and beautiful
~ oy whose .athe" wa ghost. they
would promptly give their assent to this
self evident proposition; but If you would
tell them that such an event never did nap
pen, and never can happen, their faces
would Immediately exhibit all the savagery
