Editorial
MORE ABOUT THE SCHOOL.

Every passing day, almost every
hour, brings some new truth to our
mind in way that convinces us that
we have adopted the proper course for
the propaganda of liberal and material
istic thought through the medium Of
the Correspondence School.
Since first proposing the school we
have been favored with many enthu-
sastc comments and with but one ex-
ception, all approve of the school. The
majority urge us not to wait for the
one hundred pupils, but this is a mat
ter of pure business and can only be
determined by the extent Of outside
contributions. Even one hundred pu-
pills alone would not pay the cost of
printing the lessons and examination
papers, the voluminous correspondence,

after death, no soul, ETC..
Eliza Mowry Bliven,
Sec'y Materialist Association.
The foregoing opinions by such
prominent leaders in the Liberal
thought of America are valuable. Not
10 the Blade and its School, alone, but
to the bulk of our young men and
women as furnishing reasons to them
why they should, if, possible, take part
in the studies here afforded and work
for further mental elaboration. Re-
member that the truth which another
man has won from nature and life is
not our truth until we know it and
live it. Only that becomes real or.
helpful to any man or woman which
has cost either the sweat Of brow, or
the effort Of the brain. He or she who
would be wise must earn their wisdom.
Men are tattoOed with their special
beliefs and religious dogmas like so
many barbarians but a real human
heart, shOrn of orthodox influences,
beats with the same glow under all the
patterns of earth's thousand tribes.
In this issue of the Blade will be
found a letter from fifteen year old
lad. We desire our readers to peruse
that letter. Observe the trend of
thought. Make a mental note Of what
you see And yet, with it all, none of
our readers can be put in the same po-
sition in regard to that boy as the
editor of the Blade. Why? Simply
because we have been able to perceive
the undeveloped mentality of the boy
through the medium of his letter. In
other words, here is found brain of
strength, of force and character,
coupled with will-pOwer to do. The
letter in question will indicate what
this boy could do provided he had the
opportunity. A three year course of
study in the Correspondence School
will widen his mental horizon, extend
his knowledge of things and by the
time he reaches eighteen years he is
ready to take the field or the forum
and battle against the superstitions
and myths of orthodoxy. No better
illustration could be found on this con-
tinent than the case now under con-
sideration. 1t is just such as these for
whom the School is being launched.
The expenditure of $65 or $40 within
period Of three years, will furnish
him with an education that could not
be acquired under ten times that sum
by attending college, and when his full
course is at an end, he is in possession
of splendid library, all his own, to
enable him to continue his studies be-
yond where the School had to leave
him

In addition to this the School needs
an internal equipment, or Office ar
rangement whereby we can arrange all
data, papers, etc., in regular order.
This, however, is matter of business
detail and the opening of the School
will now depend upon the amount of
money obtained for that purpose.
Regarding the commentator Of the
School we need but furnish few ex-
amples. The opinions of S. F. Benson
and Mrs. Harriet M. Closz have been
expressed and published in the Blade
columns already. In addition to these
we have receive the following:

HARD AFTER RENO.
ANT|.CAMBL|NGA AGAIN

RENO. June The city of Reno
is now squarely face to face with the
question as to whether or not its eiu-
zens desire It 10 be a wide open
gambling center or otherwise.
The several months which have
been spent in getting signatures TO
the petition calling for special cleo
ton have ended in the fling of the
petition with the city council of Reno
and report on the document by City
Attorney King that it is all right and
in legal shape. The city attorney FUR
Their tells the council that it has no
discretion in the matter and that II
is mandatory that the council either
pass an anti-gambing ordinance or
call a special election as prayed for
by the petition. This is what City
Attorney King said 10 the council
meeting
I am now able TO say that the pc
tition of the Anti-Gambling league
is in due legal form and there is
nothing further for your honorable
body to do but to pass the ordinance
as requested by your petitioners or
submit the ordinance 10 vote of
the people.
He stated further in his opinion
that the council had no right to ques
ton the legality of the ordinance. but
must act upon what it purports TO
he and allow the courts to decide its
legality.
II is probably the most important
matter that the city council of Reno
has been called upon to consider for
several years and there is but little
doubt that it will give rise to one of
the most severely contested cam
paigns in the city's history,

CANDIDACY OF MIR. HAMMOND

The candidacy of John Hayes Ham
mond for nomination at the hands
of the Republican national conven-
ton to second place on the ticket is
a fortunate incident for the mining
industry aiding, as it does. to
broader consideration of an industry
which is every day growing more inn
portant to the world and every day
working TO a higher level in the es-
TEEN of the public as one of its
greatest and soundest bulwarks.
The candidacy of Mr.. Hammond af-
fords mining men the country over
an opportunity to lift their industry
into still further prominence and es-
teen. BY giving to the noted engi-
neer hearty and loyal support, inso-
far as partisanship will permit, they
will advance their best interests.
More important however. is the fact
that in giving support TO Mr.. Ham
mond for the second place ON the Re
publican ticket they will know that
they are supporting a man who is in
every way fitted to ereditably fill the
post 10 which he aspires and whose
conduct throughout his long profess
sional career has trained him in the
highest degree to exercise of sound
judgment and absolute fairness. the
two highest requisites in public
official
The nomination and election of
Mr. Hammond would materially aid
the mining industry TO attainment of
recognition which il deserves at the
hands of the government and from
which it would greatly benefit This
fact together with the high fitness of
the man for the position should line
up every mine worker every mine
operator and every mining interest
for a determined effort in his be-
half during the short time remaining
before the Chicago convention. Ac-
ton on the part of the mining peo-
pie of the country will go a long
ways. Sure ii is that if they do not
ask they will not receive Ask, and
do it loudly.

Columbia.

That Mr.. Guy Standing is favorite
in this community and that it is with re-
grei that he is parted with even though it
may be for a brief time was evidently
manifested at the Columbia Theater last
night. when Augustus Thomas comedy,
Mrs. IIeffingwelrs Boots" was presented
by him with the assistance of his we'll
balanced company. 1t is not necessary
to comment upon the play itself, its
merits or its weakness, but unless it is
presented by a capable company II is apt
to call for demonstration quite the re-
verse of that with which was greeted
last night. Taken as a whole. the produc-
ton was quite satisfactory and reflected
credit upon the company.
Mr.. Standing gave to his role the same
careful. polished. artistic rendering that is
characteristic of all his offerings, and
that it was satisfactory to his large audi
dence was manifest in the applause, long
continued and hearty. which finally
brought him before the curtain for "a few

Belasco.

More than ordinarily enjoyable was the
presentation by Miss Charlotte Walker
and her company at the Belasco Theater
last night of George Bernard 'Shaw's
brilliantly satirical comedy Candida"
and an audience which comfortably filled
the playhouse gave every evidence of
traordinary play and of the manner in
which 1t was presented. "Candida, to
the production of which the efforts of a
number of leading actors and actresses
here and abroad have been given. is con-
sidered rather an unwontedy ambitious

while her Interpretation was creative

Luna Park.

Among the 1900 patrons that journeyed
to Luna Park last evening to seek the
cool breezes of the Potomac many took
advantage of the free vaudeville shows
offered by the manager of this resort
each week. and to show their apprecia-
ton each number was highly applauded
by the large audience. The program Of
fered last night and to run throughout
the week is a good one, which possesses
turns of high talent. Tom Waters, the
we'll known comedian, was easily the fea-
ture of the evening. carrying the au-
dience in high pitch Of laughter with
his funny jokes and his imitation of a
parlor soprano singer. Nine. Edith Hell
ena. prima DONNA. who possesses voice
of high range. sang a number of select
songs. and with her imitation Of playing
a violin won her share of applause. Muir
ply and Dunn. Irish comedians, and Reno
and Smith. comedy acrobats. presented
two turns that were pleasing. Miles and
Raymond, in their sketch. The Baby In
the Cradle was we'll received. Girdeler
with a quartet of comedy dogs. which
showed the result of clever training. made
an excellent closing number.
