in favor Of the steamship company en-
titled 1t to have It's liability limited under
the act Of Congress, and the other ques-
tions in the case related TO the amount
which it was compellable to pay into
court to satisfy the claims provable
against the fund. The company con-
tended that 1t was not bound to sur
render the sums which had been prepaid
for freight and passage on the voyage
from New York to Havre upon which
the vessel was lost; but the Supreme
Court, decided against the company on
this point.
The last question was whether death
claims on account Of passengers lost In
consequence Of the collision could be
proved against the fund. The general
rule In admiralty IL that damages are not
recoverable for the death Of q person
occurring on the high seas In the absence
Of IN. act Of Congress or q State statute
comforting such right Of action. An ex.
ception To this rule, however, EXISTS In a
case where the law Of tbs country 10
which the vessel belongs gives o right Of
action for wrongful death on tho high
seas, in which event the right OF action
existing under the law OF the vessels
flag has been held to DO enforceable In
the courts Of admiralty Of the United
States. La Bourgogne was a French
vessel sailing under the French flag.

THE GIFT OF TONGUES.

Under the captious title of "TOn-
gue-deluded misslOnaries" one, S. G.
Todd, returning missionary from the
Chinese empire, denounces many of his
cO-labOrers who have ventured into the
Orient at olher peoples expense under
the assumption, or belief, that they had
been divinely favored with ''gift of
tongues" which enabled them to start
right in and preach the gospel to the
heather Chinese in their native Ian
guage without any study thereof or
any effort to learn it. This gift of
tongues" is now exposed as a delusion
and a snare, so that it is made to re-
semble the religious impulse in all it's
various aspects. Many believe they
have it when they have not. Many
profess to believe they have it when
they know full well they have not.
Answer is made that Todd is anxious
to restrict the missionary effort and
support to favored few. In other
words, it is charged that he simply de-
sires to establish an exclusive set of
missionaries and that none other
should receive mission funds from
home to carry on the work. In any
event he is especially severe on the
gift of tongue" claims and when he
exposes the fallacies existing in such
claims he is but undermining the main
props of Christianity for it is especial
ly taught that they shall 90 out and
preach the gospel and that the Holy
Ghost will supply them with the power
to preach with new tongues"
1t is probable that Mr.. Todd places
but little faith in the new testament
doctrine concerning this "new tongue"
power and it is certain that from the
experiences he relates he has no belief
whatever in the attempt to practice it
for he reports them all to be the most
abject failures

BLUE GRASS BLADE.

mitted to pass without some sort of
public demonstration of the character
suggested, it will not occur again for
another century and we may live to
regret any neglect at our hands.
First, let q general committee be
selected by the Paine Memorial As
ISOLATION its own directors, or eX-
ecutive officers composing an import
ant part thereof. That committee
could then organize itself and elect, or
appoint, its working officers, its finance
committees, and program arrange
ments provided for. The general com
mittee could then agree upon a time
and place for holding such a meeting
and AS soon as the program can be
prepared, let it be given as wide pub
LEGATION as possible. In the meantime
no Liberal publication would deny the
use of its columns to promote the
Memorial meeting and thus take an
active part in the propaganda work
leading up to the desired end. With
ali the Freethought forces united on
such plan there can be no doubt Of
the success of the undertaking.
Freethinkers! Now is the time to
get together. Send in your names to
Secretary Elliott as members of the
Association. Note his reference to the
South and the extreme paucity of
members from the Southern States.
Come, friends, the south is liberal in
her general trend. The South can
boast fair proportion of liberal mind
ed people in every state. Let us not
stand aloof at such season and deaf
ear given to such an appeal
DO you love the memory of Thomas
Paineg
Then honor yourselves by honoring
him.
Find strength and encouragement
from his splendid life and his heroic
efforts in behalf Of human liberty. He
struck the hardest blows at both
priesScraft and kingcraft CT the eigh-
teenth century. To him we owe con-
siderable of the religious and political
freedom we now. enjoy. But for him
American independence might still be
dream and like Canada we might
yet be yoked to the political power of
Great Britain.
For the purpose of this appeal to
American Freethinkers it is not neces-
sary to exploit his life's great achieve
men,s. That has been recently done
by others. While the thrill of patriot
ism and love is still coursing in the
blood, take heed of what is intended
and get your names upon the muster
roll of liberty's army.
Write to Secretary Elliott. Give
him your name and promise of what
you may be able to contribute to such

FOR A PAINE CENTENNIAL.

by Paul is appropriate for the Occa-
sion suggested by the caption of this
article.
If there could be aught capable of
bringing the Freethinkers of America
together in one monster gathering,
some deep sentiment that would touch
and enthuse the hearts Of all liberal
minded men and women, it is in con-
nection with the name and memory of
Thomas Paine.
Next year, or more accurately stated
in 1909 will come the -hundredth
anniversary of the death of that great
revolutionary patriot and it is now pro-
posed that the Freethnkers of America
that event.
Such movement must not be under
taken unless it can be attended with
that degree of perfect success it so
richly deserves. To achieve that sue
cess the labor of preparing therefor
must begin now. If put off until a
later date the event may not prove
sufficiently suspicious to make the de-
sired impression upon the public mind
If ever delay was dangerous factor
in given undertaking, it will appear
to be so in the present movement.
In another column of this issue
will be found communication from
James B. Elliott, of Philadelphia, Sec
rotary of the Paine Memorial and His
torical Association, which contains the
suggestion that such a centennial be
l.
special attention thereto as being of
the utmost Importance to Freethought.
That Thomas Paine did enough for
America, for her people, and for both
religious and political liberty goes
without question and it is fitting that
the movement to arrange centennial
memorial to his name receive the I'M
qualified endorsement of all classes of
people, irrespective of individual
opinion, especially those who appreci-
ate the value of the services rendered
by Paine.
Without the slightest hesitation the
Blade will extend the use of its col
umns to further such an enterprise and
it urges hearty cooperation upon the
publications in the country. 1t is a
platform upon which all can stand, and
the Paine banner is broad enough to
embrace all within it's protecting
folds. There should be no great effort
necessary to secure the one thousand
members asked for. The united sup
port of all can be rendered to such
movement If the opportunity is per-
Blue-grass blade., 1908-02-23

Success is measured by what one
does, not by what is promised. Po-
litical parties live altogether on prom
Uses. The value of Freethought arises
from the work it has done in the
emancipation of the human mind. 1t
has broken the mental letters removed
as success.
The Blade is gratifed with the re-
ception it is now receiving. Don't
allow the good work to flag.
