ARBOR DAY
CELEBRATED
SYCAMORE GROVE IS SCENE OF
EXERCISES

CHILDREN
Mayor Harper and President Joseph
Scott of School Board Make Ap-
propriate Addresses on the
Days Significance

With the fairest of weather and the
best of programs Arbor day, 1908, in
Los Angeles was a signal success.
Headed by squad of mounted police
and by a brass band, the parade
formed at Central park, at Fifth and
Hill streets. and marched to the Plaza.
There those who were not in automo-
biles boarded cars of the Pacific Elec-
trio and the Los Angeles Railway COM
panies and proceeded to the youngest
city park, Sycamore Grove.
Unusually interesting were the exer.
cises held there.
After a selection by the band 100
pupils of the Los Angeles high school
and the Polytechnic high school, led by
Mrs. Gertrude Parsons, sang 1.-The Red,
White and Blue"
j. A. Haskell, president of the Los
Angeles Arbor Day association, made
a few appropriate remarks, and after
the band played Hail TO the Chief
Mayor Harper spoke upon the meaning
of Arbor day.
Following a patriotic song by the
high school pupils, Joseph Scott, presi-
dent of the school board, spoke in part
as follows:
"Arbor day gives life to impulses
which tend not merely to practical re-
suits, but likewise to soften the brute
nature which is in us at all times and
to give expression to some of the
sweeter and nobler sentiments without
which life would be but dreary waste
of energy.

Editorial
CHRISTIAN HYPOCRISY AT THE
GRAVE.

Freethought is life and action.
Christianity is coffin and the
hearse. -,
The professors Of the orthodox faith,
by frequent argument, have admitted
that Freethought may be all right to
live by. but Christianity is needed when
men come to die.
Freethought is willing to accept the
distinction thus conferred upon it, for
if a man or woman live "all RICH"
they need not be concerned or alarmed
regarding the mode and manner Oh
dying. To live "all right" enables one
to die "all right" We are all inter-
ested in living. We all know that we
have life and that to all who have life,
death must come. Life is the begin
ming of individual consciousness.
Blue-grass blade., 1908-05-03

construed as an acceptance OF that re-
ligious faith which he had previously
spurned.
In great measure Freethinkers are
responsible. for these things. Too
many fail to make proper provision
for such an emergency. Very few
have done So. Anticipating such
contretemps in the case of death, care
should be taken to guard against it
during active life by having prepare
lions made in advance. There is moth
ing grewsome about it, We must all
die. We all realize that. The same
end awaits us all and the Blade advises
its subscribers, friends and readers to
be fully prepared so that when the
grim reaper makes his call they will
not be subjected to the hhmiliating
disgrace that befell the dead man in
the present instance.
The letter we have received fur
nishes the best sort of argument in
favor of Freethought. 1t admits, by
implication, that the Christian re-
ligion is fitted only for children, intel
lectual imbeciles, and persons in the
throes of death. In this instance the
dead man, '.while he was in health"
actually enjoyed" the Blade, and the
logical inference is that when he be-
came unable to ENJOY it, his reasoning
powers had failed, his mentality had
ceased, he was as little child again -
and fit subject for a Christian
Minister" to work off his prayers and
faith upon.
All, friends, could he have known
and realized what was taking place
around him in those moments OF fit
ting life, there would have been prec-
ous little comfort in the Christian re-
ligion, or in the prayers Of that Chris
tan minister, for those gathered about
him, and while we dislike to say harsh
things in the presence of death, yet
we regard the incident here related as
an insult to the intelligence OF the
man now deal.

ing, for the individual, before the in
dividual life was, SO there will be moth
ing for the individual when death en-
sues.
The foregoing thoughts have been
occasiOned by the recent receipt OF a
communication informing us Of the
demise of one of our enthusiastic sub
scribers, with request, from a lady
member OF his family, presumably
wife or daughter, that the Blade dis
continue TO his recent address. The
tone of the letter indicates that this
particular member Of the dead sub
scriber's household, did not agree with
him in his views, and it disclOses the
further fact that she did not take very
kindly to his reading our paper.
Among other things, the writer Of the
Epistle says
please allow me to say that he en-
joyed the paper while he was in health,
but when sickness and death came it
offered him no comfort. The Christian
religion and the prayers Of a Christian
minister gave him more comfort than
can be found in your paper"
More was said along the same lines,
but the foregoing is enough. 1t admits
that while the deceased was in health
and strength, in full possession Of his
mental faculties, capable Of the use OF
his reason, he actually enjoyed the
paper, and the carriOn crows of the
death chamber could not influence or
turn him from his known and accepted
views upon religion. 1t also admits
that when the poor, tired brain failed
to properly perform the function OF
thought, when mind and body were
both Ienfeebled, the women members OF
his household, aided by Christian
Minister" undertook to wiring con-
fession of faith from the parched lips
and by such an act they sought to
prove. to the world that the dead man
had lived a lie and another conversion
to the Christian faith is announced.
The church is welcome to all such
converts, save for the SANDER that his
family have allowed to be perpetrated
upon his name and memory Even in
death Freethinkers are not safe from
assault. Christian ghouls have, ERE
this, penetrated the grave to make a
holy vengeance upon an inoffensive
and helpless corpse. What wonder,
then, that like thief in the night,
these Christian ghouls will penetrate
the chamber of death and by cruel
tricks, without the consent or knowl-
edge of the dying, indulge in the hol-
low mockery of prayer at such a
season, and the slightest twitch OF the
: lips, whether Of approval or disap-
proval, is accepted as a remuneration OF
an intellectual plane Of thought and

that they do not like it. The objection

An Expensive "free Pass"

Fines of $200O each have been imposed on two Memphis, Ala :. men by Judge Handley, of the U. $. district court of Ala bama.
 Thomas Williams, of Memphis, "eommuted" to Birmingh hal m. He lent his ticket to Daniel Pound, who presented it for passage. The conductor knew Willia ms, but H. lowed Pound to continue through to Birmingham. There a deputy marshal. summoned by telegraph, was on hand to arrest Pound, and a charge of violating the interstate commerce law was lodged against him In his ruling the trial judge held that the acceptance of free transportation was high crime, and when Williams was tried and convicted the court decreed that he wos guilty of aiding and abetting Pound in the commission of the same crime. and each man was fined $2OOO. The court held that as the contract under which the ticket was sold provided that the ticket would become void if pre- scented for passage by any other than than the person to whom 1t was issued. Pound had accepted free transportation.
