~. e. Andrews Of this CITY
was fined a day or so ago, $1,000
for deserving his wife. This is the
first application Of the law passed
by the last LEGISLATURE of this state
to force shiftless or dshonorable
men to provide for their families,
and prevent them from becoming
public charges. Andrews fine may
be stayed by giving bond for
double the amount and paying his
wife $3.50 a week for support.
Since conditions in Texas are such
that any industrious man can earn
a good livirg, public sentiment is
aroused against wife deserters, ald
a campaign Of punishment for such
recalcitrants is entered upon in this
state.

Do the facts in the case suggest it? Surely
not! Had these boys been taught the prin-

tween right and wrong encouraged in

taught TO respect the rights of others even
as they ought to respect themselves, they

their selected way. Bible precepts were un-
availing. A weak religion naturally pro-
duces weak men and women and the rigid
discipline imposed upon children by ortho-
dox parents lead to untold misery.
The Blade can truly sympathize with the
suffering and Borrowing parents of these
erring lads, but it insists that the blame

with heredity and environment at work

RELIGION.
(By John T. Bays.)

Religion is curious thing, It makes of
man foe,
To fall beneath its idle whim or be sub
jecJ to its rule;
1t makes a man fanatic and lose all COM
mon sense,
1t wastes away his intellect without any
recompense.
Religion robs man of heaven, that might
be shed on earth.
1t keeps him gazing skyward into unknown
realms of mirth;
1t is cloud of superstition that waters
every creed,
1t darkens earth beneath it and makes its
victims bleed.
The heather in his blindness bows down to
wood and stone,
The Christian in his fneness can worship
god alone;
But all in all both worship imaginary and
unreal
To which the heather prostitutes, to which
the Christians kneel
From all religious superstitions thank
Nature, l am free,
No god of wood or thought, or stone, shall
ever humble me.

Rev. Bass is striving to hasten the day

Current newspaper reports state that the
BapLists OF the Pacific Coast have just
closed one OF their periodical conventions
and that while it was in progress a general
discussion was held concerning the propo-
sition to discontinue the use OF such titular
prefixes as Reverend" and Doctor" and to
refer to the clergy of that denomination in
the homely, old-fashioned appellation of
Brother"
Perish the thought! OF what use is it
to make any sort of a sacrifice to become a
parson and receive no public acknowledge
ment of superiority? To call a parson
brother" indicates equality rather than su-
periority and merely pulls the parson down.

designate all lawyers as Judges" poll
ticians as statesmen" while in Kentucky

of his distinguished title and you make him
poor, indeed, and to take away the special
privileges of the clergy by placing him upon
a mere equality with his fellow-man is an
unfortunate proceeding for him. 1t
amounts to a complete reduction in caste.
If he is not "revered" he is nothing. To
be otherwise would create contradiction
in terms. For the sake of The sky-pilots
of America the Blade utters its protest
against the proposed abandonment of this
time-honored custom. Even the devil ought
to be given his due.
What would Kentuckian think of a par
son, at home or abroad, who would address
him as plain "Mister?" One minister is
just as good as another in the eyes of the
world. The leading citizen" is invariably
called Judge" or colonel and is not the
pastor, the salvation doctor of the COM

things as they have faith shall be, and be-
ing more liable TO error they should be
dealt with leniently.
Give the parsons chance!
DO not thoughtlessly deprive them of
considerable portion of the only comfort
they enjoy by taking away their titular
prerogatives.
Ii it is the will OF the people that they
shall still be called doctor and ''rever-

they have struck a granite rock against
which they must beat in vain.
Does too much piety lead to unblushing
crimei
This is a rather serious question and the
Brooklynites are now having to wrestle
with it.
Ingersoll has said that the structures of
Presbyterianism thrown about him during
youth CALLED SO upon him that he involun-
tarily rebelled and ultimately came TO op-
pose it. Many parents insist upon too
strict an observance of orthodox forms for
their children, bring them up in sort of
tight-corset manner, cramping the mind and
intellect, until with personal freedom comes
the reaction and the rebound. In many
cases it is jump from one extreme to the
other and there are enough facts to be
gathered from everyday life to prove the
truth of this position.
1t is reported that the police of Brooklyn
have succeeded in running down pair of
enterprising burglars. They were caught
hiding in coalbin and promptly arrested.
They had just gone through the residence
of Mrs. Mary Hanlon, at 299 Flatbush
Avenue, and a portion of their loot was
found with them They were carried to
headquarters where according to the Ian
guage of professional crooks they were
''mugged" through the aid of Bertillon ma
chimes and their pictures now adorn the
rogue's gallery. They were discovered to
be George and Henry Banta, brothers, and
the sons of a well known Presbyterian min
lister in Brooklyn. But this is not all for
the police of that city insist that George,
the elder one, has been in trouble before
so that he is rapidly becoming an adept in
the business of burglary.
And minister's sons Angels of grace
