a follower of The Prince of Peace and gives
emphasis to his religious calling by prac-
teal work for breaking the peace.
He does not like the kind of Freethinkers
that write for the Blade. He would like
nice little Freethinkers who would ask
priests of the Roman Catholic church how
to think and then mould their thoughts in
the will of the priest. This fellow uncov-
cred his religious belief. He is welcome to
it. We will guarantee that it is harder for
him to bear than for us to contemplate. He
calls us scoundrels and says we cause
fools to separate themselves from the cash.
I do give little to Freethought but have
never received one cent from it in return.
He calls us liars. He should show us
where We lie.
His letter Is somewhat Incorporate and
suggests that the writer may be also in
temperate He has marked paragraphs In
the Blade and passed them on to the Post
Office Inspectors. No doubt the inspectors
will thank him for the diversion it will
afford them. We would just as lief have
the initial velocity expert become mis-
sionary for the Blade and distribute our
message as have it done by ourselves. He
read the good things in the Blade, and
in time, they will do him good. After
reading them, the hum-drum reading of re-
ligious papers will pail upon his stomach.
He can never repose confidence in Bible
stories after reading Freethought literature.
Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.

Some Practical, common.sense.

BARLOW, FLA-The Blade has certain
ly made a wonderfully pleasing change in
appearance as we'll as in contents. Am
sorry cannot become a subscriber at pres
ent, but a neighbor gives me a bundle of
Blades occasionally for distribution.
The Convention of Materialists ought to
be grand success next September, and
must be one. do not see any application
blanks printed in Blade for the convenience
of those who would like to join. Would it
not be good plan to print one every week.
at least until the beginning Of Convention?
/ am a member Of both Church Of Humanity
and Materialist Association, but think IL
quite immaterial whether one Is Mater
ialist or not, compared to the question as to
whether one is a Freethinker. 1t Is less
important that we know the actual truth
in regard to gods and future life than
that we recognize the inherent right OF
every individual to settle religious ques-
tions with his own reason and conscience.
This policy, with unselfish consideration for
each others economic rights, is all that will
ever bring the millennium.
I did not consider that I had made any
particular discovery when I became a Ma
terialist. 1t SENS to me that to announce
ourselves as great discoverer, without any
new or original facts to offer on the sub
ject, is premature. Hundreds of people
must have made the discovery that there
could be no supreme being cognizant of
their sufferings during the years of the
Christian Inquisition, but 1t would not have
been good policy for them to have adver-
tised it. I am Materialist simply because
l have never yet seen any reliable evidence
that there is any god or any evidence on
which to base hope of future existence.
Certainly, any god who was cognizant of
the inhumanities perpetrated in his name.
and who could, as Christians claim. have
ended such misery by mere word, but did
not, deserves to be ostracized.

BLUE GRASS BLADE
Christian Rule in India

Provincial Ministers, Commanders-in-Chief,
all these men when they have served five
years retire on a pension of $4,000. And
the starving natives are taxed to pay the
bill.
All the Episcopalian Bishops and about
1000 clergy are also paid out of these taxes.
The political system of India, he said, was
equally bad. Very few of the millions of
workingmen have vote. On the other
hand many of the privileged classes had
several vOtes-a student on graduating
from College had votes, when he re,
ceived his Doctors degree more; land
holder also had votes. Thus, the speaker
himself was possessed of IL votes in India.
This corrupt political system was also a
fruit of the British Government.
For all that the people of India are so
outrageously taxed the British Government
expends only million dollars annually in
the interests of education among a popu,
lation of 290 million yet on the army which
she maintains in India she spends 1870 mil
lion! And every cent of it raised by taxa
,tion on the Hindoos This, the speaker
held, accounted in large measure for the
poverty and restitution of India.
But neither is this all nor the worst &C.
cording to DIR. Krishna. England has also
systematically discouraged India indus
tries. BY means of subsidy which she
raises on the Hindoos, and pays to British
ships sailing between Great Britain and
India, English manufacturers have been en-
abled to lay down goods in India cheaper
than they could be manufactured on India
soil, and thus all manufacture in India has
been competed into decay.
Recent years are developing however, a
we'll organized resistance among the Hin
docs. Nationalist Organization has been
formed, having close to so million adher-
ents, which operates India industries and
shipping and has declared a boycott on Eng
lish goods.
Furthermore the political agitation is
growing and DR.. Krishna predicts that If
England does not grant true Parliament
to India within the next ten years, there
will be violent instruction from one end
of the country to the other that will drive
the English into the Sea, or England will
have to kill every native in India to es-
tablish her supremacy.

Religious Conditions and British Tyranny
Responsible For Much of the Peoples
Sufferings.
(By DR.. Krishna.)

(By DR.. Krishna)
The following is synopsis of lecture
delivered at Hancock, Michigan, by Dr.
Krishna a celebrated Hindu reformer, an
account of which was first published in the
Wage-Slave, which the Blade is pleased to
reproduce
India, said the speaker, has a history of
about 5000 years. India possesses three
varieties of climate. In the Northeastern
part away up in the Himalays It is extreme
ly cold, much colder than in Michigan, and
often as cold as in Alaska. In the Central
part the climate is mild and equitable, the
greatest heat being 80 degrees above the
most severe cold, 10 degrees below zero.
Only in the Southern part of the Peninsula
is the climate exceedingly hot, popular
opinion in America to the contrary nOtwith-
standing.
The population of India approximates 29U
million and includes four races, the eau
casan, numbering about $50 million, the
Aborigines, of unknown origin, of about rs
million, the Monaghan of about rs millions
and the remainder Semites including Arabs
and Persians
There are in India five great religions,
the Brahmin or Hindu which is the most
numerous embracing IT'S million, the Mo-
hammedan 60 million, the Buddhist 40 mil
lion, Christianity embracing about million,
two-thirds of them Roman Catholic and the
embraces all that Is rotten in all Of the
others.
The principal products of India, are Cot
ton, indigo Rice, Wheat Jute, Silk Rugs,
Tea Coffee, Petroleum, Gold and Diamonds.
OF the 290 million population in India,
5000 are millionaires or ultimillionaires,
two-mfllion are well-to-do; the rest are very
poor, 100 million or such a matter can't
get rice soup enough to drink once a day.
In the last Is years As million have died
of hunger every year. One million of chill
dren below the age of Is die of Plague
every year.
This Plague Is wholly preventable
disease and is due simply to undertaking.
blame for q great deal of this, Dr.
Krishna placed on the British Government
which he declared to be an unqualified
curse to India. Under native rule there
was oppression and robbery enough but
British rule was infinitely worse. Native
rule at the worst never cost the people of
India more than per cent of their total
income. British rule costs India IS per
cent of their total income. In taxation
alone, to maintain her army and less func-
tionaries. England plumbers the poverty
stricken people of India of about nine mil
lion dollars worth of wealth every year.
The Governor-G eneralship alone costs the
people of India about a million dollars
year. This official is appointed by the
British Crown but the people of India pay
the bills.
Five thousand Englishmen in India re-
ceive salaries all the way from $4,000 to
$500 900 annually. The Governor-G eneral.
