MADE 4 FOOL OF THE CRITIC.
Really Good Joke Said to Have Been
Played BY English Actor.

A Broadway correspondent says IN
Pick.Me- Up Of London: Harry L-au'
der, when he recently visited New
York, was accused of stinginess. AS
a matter OF fact, he's merely thrifty.
He heard that one man In particular
had criticised severely the manner In
which he drew the purse strings tight.
Not long afterward this man asked
him for an interview. Lauder gave
him an address. and told him to come
at ten o'clock the following night In
the meantime he did bit of stage
managing. When the caller came ne
was ushered into a garnet In poor
Tenement house, in a bad part OF town.
There sat Lauder, blue with cold. by
the light OF a single candle. and scrib-
bling away. ARE ye goin' to put
down what l say Lauder asked. The
reporter assured him. with pride. that
he never made notes during an inter
view. My memory is excellent. he
boosted. 'Weel. then. said Lauder

Exhaustless Supply Of Iron.

When will the worlds supply OF iron

that the aggregate tonnage Of ore OF

of the Lake Superior region. to which
a billion tons have been assigned as
minimum. And he consideres that II
would be rash to conclude that 1t Is
impossible that an equal amount OF
iron may be found in the west fully
equivalent to that in the Lake Su

suffer for lack Of iron ore.

ON THE WRONG TRACK.

What is the American conscience in re.
gard to authority? When the founders of
our republic overthrow the royalist govern
ment of naughty Britain all authority was
vested in the people, on the principle that
government came from the people its
power resting in the people and dependent
upon them. The American notion in this
day is that the people is the source of all
authority and if rightly carried out our
government would be safely bottomed upon
rock foundation from which it could
never be moved.
Through friend we have received
clipping from the Daily Leader of Ear
Claire, Wisconsin, which gives a report of
one of series of Lenten sermons preached
by Father Dunno a Roman Catholic priest
in which he undertakes to define the
American conscience in regard to and con-
cerning matters of authority. Admitting

Who says the Bible is without use?
Take heed, friends, if you have no use
for the bible, others have. OF course
much may depend upon what use it is to
be put. Those Others" may not feel in
clined to read it or study it's pages for
doctrine and form, but it may be that they
have more practical use, real human
use.
thieves broke into the African Methodist
Episcopal Church at Horntown Pa, to cou-
ceal themselves while occupied in killing
picking and dressing for market, the fowls
they had stolen during the night 1t wa;
said to be a cold night, but the profit ex-
pected warmed the ardor of the thieves
although it failed to warm their hands and
feet while thus engaged. Near them stool
stove but, alas, there was no fuel. A
search was made. In a class room was
found four large shelves filled with bibles.
The thieves pounced upon these and piling
them in the stove set fire to them and
furnished themselves with the necessary
warmth to enable them to keep at work.
Wasn't that a bunch of holy smoke that
curled its way through the fue into the
night air? This is the first time of which
we have any record wherein the bible was
made to furnish a hot time in line with its
accepted teachings.

gan should go in the church in spite OF
the denunciations of the evangelist. II
went in. The antis declared that it should
go out. 1t went out Back and forth, in
and out went that troublesome organ. AS
a last resort the ants, by stealth, laid
rough hands on the instrument and the
next morning the women found that the
organ for which they had toiled and la
bored, occupied an uninvitng position in
a coal shed, and the traditional bull in a
China shop was as nothing compared to
what followed. The progressives, backed
by the women, were not to be outdone,
and it is reported that one moonlight night,
willing hands went to work and the or
gan was rescued from the shed, carried
back into the church and securely fastened
TO the floor by large, strong staples, and
a guard was left over it. Threats of ar
rest were now made if any further attempt
was made to dislodge it. and the latest
report is that the organ is safe.
And this is religion, aye, the Christian
religion, too Both sides claim to be sup.
ported in their contention by Biblical
authority. But we are inclined to agree
with the reactionaries. The organ has no
place in a church wherein theory of
damnation is taught. Music cannot make
the pains of hell lighter or induce men and
women to accept them cheerfully. Music
may be the best part of the church SER
vice, as practiced in these times but there
is no religion in it. DEATH blood pain
hell damnation, eternal torment, are not
made bright or acceptable by the use of
an organ and music is decidedly out of
place in an orthodox sanctuary our ad-
vice would be to take the organ out keep
it out and make kindling wood of the frame
work or donate the entire instrument to
some more worthy institution.

tionally vested, he holds, however, that the
source of all authority is god and that this
authority is managed in Rome, through
vice-regent of god, to whom We should all
look In a comment upon this subject he
says:
Our government was born at he death
of a monarchy and Graded on the grave
of a throne. Many foreigners come here
owing to hatred for authority. Millions of
them are never taught the true meaning
of liberty and freedom. Liberty to them
means license and freedom lawessness
The welfare of our nation depends Un re-
spect for authority and it is well that we
should properly teach those who come
here to weld their blood with ours
The premise is correct, but his r,,ason-
ing erroneous which leads him to a false
conception of the American conscience. 1t
is true that many emigrants land upon
our shores from foreign countries because
of their hatred of authority and this hatred
extends to religious as well as political
authority. These foreigners come here to
be members of the American family Of free
men, women, untrammeled by crown or
creed. Their desire for freedom comes
not alone from political considerations.
They recognize that in America there is
no established church. no crowned mon
arch to arbitrarily dictate, and no mitred
bishop to direct the path upon which they
shall tread. With due regard for the
fundamental law of the land thev become
desiring and desirable citizens. and unlike
the heirarchies of Rome and Protestant
Christianity, they do not seek TO Influence
legislation and governmental appointments
to further some political or religious
scheme. Neither is it true that liberty, to
them means license. Nor does their free
dom signify lawlessness. 1t IS a slander
upon the men and women who seek our
hospitabe shores to so declara. No greater
enemy of American institutions can be
found, anywhere. than the priests and
preachers of the Christian faith. for they
owe not their allegiance 10 the Law of the
country, rather to eXtraneous sources 1t
does depend upon "A respect for the rights
of each other OF course It is easy to
discern that the authority which Father
Dunno would have the American people
respect, comes through him from a for
eign potentate. This sort of authority does
not sit well upon the mind and conscience
of a full fedged American citizen and all
the sermons in the country, piled mount
aims high, will never be able to revert the
public mind in that direction
The American conscience Is such that it
revolts against all usurped authority
whether it be from Rome or Westminster.
The average American, to the manor born

or naturalized, has habit of shifting for
himself on such matters, and both priest
and preacher will find this to be too sol
emnly true should an attempt ever be
made 10 undermine it.
