The Largeness Of Religion

Let us realize that religion is inf
nitely larger than any creedal claim or
churchly sect. To no people, be they
Buddhist, Confucian or Christian, is
given exclusive charge of any Ark of
the Covenant between God and man.
All the world is Gods world, and hui
manity is not more dear to him in
America than it is in Basuto Land or
the Fiji Islands. Do you have the
presumption to imagine that God is
your especial God, or that you are a
favorite to whom he has revealed His
will? Religion is larger than the con-
ceptions of any people, or the confines
of any country.

Vice President of State Board of
Health Explains Proposed Ex-
periments on COnvicts
Would Offer Alternative to the
Cruel Death Imposed on
FeIOns by the Law
Men Aiding TO Solve Question
Would Have Terms Com
muted if They Survived

In support Of his suggestion that the
state laws be modified to permit Of ex-
perimentation on criminals condemned
to death with the end in view of deter
mining the origin of tubercular infec-
ton, DR.. Wallace A. Briggs Of sacra-
mento, vice president Of the state board
OF health. has made to The Call a state
nlent explaining his views in consider
able detail.
Though at first glance the proposal
TO carry out possibly fatal experiments
with human beings as the subjects is
startling in the extreme. DR.. Briggs ex-
plains his views in a manner that fur
nishes food for serious thought II is
not as punishment, he explains, that
such experimentation would be under
taken. but under laws that would give
the criminal himself the option of &C
ceptance in lieu of a death sentence al
ready imposed.
An acceptance that would work to
the welfare Of humanity, he argues,
would entitle the criminal to commuta-
tion of his sentence should he survive
an atonement to society in case of his
death. Such an opportunity. he be-
lieves, would eagerly be grasped at by
MANY criminals sentenced to death
Another point advanced by Dr. Briggs
is that such a modification of the law
as he proposes would result in an eradi-
cation of many existing evils OF trial

explained by himself follow:

s GREAT VICTORY

Cleveland, Jan. 21.-The Scent fare
movement won what its lawyers say
!. Is the biggest victory since the su.
preme court decision at Washington in
the Central Quincy litigation, in the su-
preme court of Ohio Tuesday.
The supreme court, in a decision
in the William M. Reynolds suit
against the city and the Forest City
railway. upheld the grant OF the For.
est City lines In Denison avenue.
This is the famous Reynolds tax.
payers suit, which was one of the
first attacks on the Scent movement
in Cleveland.
The decision of the supreme court
is against the Concon's claims on al
points in the suit.
The effect OF the decision is to make
valid the basic grant from which all
subsequent Scent operations have
been extended, and gives the 3'cent
lines a legal standing, which cannot
be attacked.
ID. c. Westenhaver of the Threefer
legal camp said Tuesday afternoon:
This decision is extremely impor.
tant. Il means that hereafter injunc.
ton suits against 3-cens fare CAM
have only temporary effect. One Of
these Injunction attacks brought right
now at any point could not delay B.
cent growth over 30 days. It is the
biggest decision since the city won In
the Central.Quinoy cases"
Mayor Tom was elated over the
news from Columbus.

system" said City Solicitor Baker.
