JOY CREED OF
new RELIGION
PERSONAL LIBERTY SLOGAN OF
EVANGELIST VALIANTS NEW
SECT.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Happiness
and joy and personal liberty are the
basic creeis of a new religion which
has just been launched in Washington
the late Bishop Valiant. Already the
newest creed has gained many con-
verts and Valiant declares that 1T will
soon spread all over the country. Sun
day laws which seek to restrict the In
nocent sports of the people are de-
nounced by this modern evangelist, who
has gained the assistance of leaders in
present, Valiant's church is a local
amusement park, where he breaches to
enthusiastic thousands.
In regard to his new creed, Evangel-
list Valiant says:
1.-THE old hell of the old religion, with
it's flaming fires, it's dancing imps In
leather hides, it's catacombs of dead
hopes, and its fumes of sulphur, is a
thing of the past. 1t was adroitly en-
ployed to brighten people into the
church. Today the modern religion does
not prey upon the fears and ignorance
of the people. 1t says God is love, Coo
| is light. God is happiness. 1t bids you
come to church with acclaims of JOY.
| 1t presents a church in which you may
smile, and from the portals of which
morbidity and fear have been pan
ished.
"My friends be not deceived. Our
Father does not want us to approach
Him with long faces and downcas'
eyes Go to Him with happiness beam
| ing from your countenance and over
flowing from your heart. Take les
son in happiness from His creatures
the birds. with their songs of praise;
the glittering fishes, as they fit about
like flashing sunbeams in the sllvery
waters or the animals, as they gambOl
on the greensward. Crime and deprav1ty
are unknown to such of Gods Great
ures. 1t is left for man to be morbid
and sorrowful and sinful.
| There is no crime in the enhancing
strins Of music; no sin in the simple
means Of enjoyment called games; no
secretiveness or wrongdoing in the
bright and cheerful glare Of Gods cleo
| tricity.
blue laws and fanatics will find no
place in the religion of the future.
''Those of you who profess to be
Christians. I beseech you do not seek
to take away the joys Of the people by
| imposing fanatical conditions upon
them. Do not waste your energies upon
| that which does no harm, except you
regard happiness as harm. Rather go
yea as God has commanded, out into the
| in-darkened highways and into the
| gloomy hedges and seek poor, downcasr
sinful humanity, and bring them to the
| light

SHEATH GOWNS
UNDER THE BAN
QUEEN ALEXANDRIA PUT QUE.
TUS TO THE NEW "CRE-
-. r. ATOMS.

LONDON, July 17.-What is known
as the directoire or sheath gown will
be confined in England to actresses and
women of the "lower classes No
woman in London society will dare
wear the clinging gowns which have
created such a sensation on the cOnti-
nent. When the directoire mode first
made its appearance, several English
society leaders received it kindly and
for a time the sheath gown was in
high favor. Now it is back to the moth
balls or the second hand clothes men
for these daring gowns. Queen Alex
andra has spoke, and what she said IN
regard to the directoire mode was In
Anne rican slang, a plenty.
Her majesty has caused II 10 De
known that any woman wearing pro-
nounced directoire will not be received
at court functions. The queen told her
ladies in waiting that the new gowns
are immodest and caused a caustic
warning to be conveyed to certain
titled lady distinguished for her beau
tiful figure who displayed it at Ascot
in directOire gown. The ladies in wait
ing have been also commanded to noti-
fly other titled women of her majesty S
displeasure with the revealing direc-
toire costumes.
At a big ball three ladies wearing
these emphatic sheaths could scarce
ly make their courtesies to the queen
and at supper they found much diff
Guilty in sitting down. So displeased was
the queen at this unpleasant exhibition
that she expressed her indignation
openly and left the ball before supper
was ended.
AS a result of her majesty's decision

exultant, and declare that the queen did

DEN0UNCES HIS
GOVERNMENT
TOLSTOI ATTACKS RUSSIAN
ADMINISTRATION.

LONDON, July 1.-THE Daily
Chronicle today prints three close
columns of the most passionate and Sc
we're Indictment ever penned by Count
Leo Tolstoi, the Russian author, in
which he shows all his old vivid liter
airy skill, of the present system of gov
renment by execution in Russia, the
article concluding with an appeal to
the better nature of his countrymen.
During the course Of the article the
count writes:
~ can no longer endure it. I write
this either that these inhuman deeds
may be stopped, or that my connection
with them may be snapped and 1 be
put in prison where 1 may be clearly
conscious that these horrors are not
committed on my own behalf, or still
better ESQ good that dare not dream of
such happiness), that they may put on
| me and those 20 or II peasants a
! shroud and cap and may push me al
| so off a bench so that by my weight
I may tighten the we'll soaped moose
| around my old throat
After describing wholesale executions
| in gruesome detail Count Tolstoi says:
"All this is carefully arranged ana
planned by the learned and enlightened
people Of the upper class. They arrange
to do these things secretly at dayDreak
and they so sub divide the responsible
| ity for these iniquities among those who
| commit them that each may disclaim
responsibility; and not these dreadful
| things alone are done, but all sorts of
other fortunes and violence are per-
petrated in the prisons, fortresses and
convict establishments; not impul-
sively, under the sway of feeling silen-
cling reason as happens in fights or in
war, but on the contrary at the de-
mand of reason and calculations silenc-
ing feeling. What is most dreadful in
the whole matter of this inhuman vio-
lence and killing, is that it brings a
yet more enormous evil on the whole
people by spreading depravity among
every class of Russians"
| Tolstoi instancing the shocking SD cad
of greed among officials to obtain
money by executing condemned pris-
oners, says:
Awful as are the deeds themselves
/ the moral and spiritual unseen evil
they produce is incomparably more
terrible"
With regard to the governments
contention that there is no other way to
suppress the revolutionists, Count
Tolstoi while, admitting that the rev.
olutionists' crimes are stupid and rep
rehensible in the highest degree. ac-
| cuses the government of doing the
same thing for the same motive, and
adds:
