WHY THIS ABUSE?

1t is with deep regret that the Blade OBJ
serves an attack upon the great intellect and
fearless character of Voltaire from the pen
of w. H. Kerr, of Great Bend, Kansas. 1t
appears that Kerr's objection to Voltaire, as
also to Paine, is that both believed in the
existence of god. Kerr does not. Still Mr..
Kerr must not forget that both Voltaire and
Paine were further in advance of the re-
spective ages in which they lived and
worked than Mr.. Kerr is of the present age.
The Blade reiterates with pride its great
love both for Voltaire and Paine, two of the
great worlds immortals, whose names will
never be erased from the human mind so
long as the race endures. Both worked
more, accomplished more and left deeper
imprints upon the sands oil Time than Mr..
Kerr can possibly do. Yet, is it not strange
that so-called Freethinkers will assail the
memories of such intellectual giants be-
cause, in a remote age, they could not see
far enough in advance of them to prOphesy
Kerrs coming into the world The Blades
policy is to always give honor where honor
is due and to sink the ego into the common
good. If the Church of Humanity is to pur-
sue a policy of denunciation Of either of
these great laborers for intellectual
freedom, we want none of it in ours. But

task to get the mind Of an orthodox Chris
tian advocate weaned from the notion that
some sort of religious instruction must be
given in our common public schools. Be-
tween the extremes of religious instruction
and no religious instruction stand innumer-
able members of society who assume an
Indifference on the subject and argue that
it can make but little difference whether
religious instruction be given or not and
they decline to take sides in the con-
troversy. For years the contest was waged
between the ultra-pious on the one side and
the Freethnkers on the other, but of late,

A BRAINLESS BIGOT.

THE doctrines preached by Ingersoll and
his like are vicious, and If We were to have
a community made up entirely of people of
this belief 1t would be unsafe for a person
to pass through in even in broad daylight"
The newspaper clipping containing the
foregoing choice criticism was sent to the
Blade by L. J. Post, of Jacksonville, Fla
The author is said to be some sort of a 2 by
preacher who publishes some sort of
2 by paper, at Whitehall, III. The name
of the preacher is given as H. E. Bell. The
clipping purports to be criticism made by
Bell against an article appearing in White
hall paper commencing the erection Of
proposed statute to the memory OF COL
Ingersoll, at Peoria, ILL., Before proceeding
to discuss the issue thus presented we wish
to further quote from the same article by
the same author, as follows
I'VE didn't even insinuate that Ingersoll
didn't obey the law and live life of purity,
neither did We say anything regarding his
truthfulness and honesty"
Taking both of these quotations together
and reading one with the other the inde-
pendent thinker can readily discern the
arrant hypocrisy and utter inconsistency
contained therein. And yet such an argu-
ment is deemed to be possessed of merit by
the aping parrots of orthodoxy, who refuse
to think and accept the dicta Of the clergy
ipse facto.
If it be true that Ingersolls "truthfulness
and honesty are not to be questioned, how
Is it possible that a community of niger
soils would be dangerous place for transit
and habitation. Honest men, truthful men
are not criminals. Honesty implies all that
is good and noble, endearing to the race.
Truthfulness is not trait of the clergy,
however, and in this we can discern the
cause of their animus towards those of an
opposing form of faith. The majority of
men today have no faith in the Christian
religion. They are, to all intents and pur-
poses, of the same idea and thought as was
COL Ingersoll. Yet our penitentiaries are
filed with men who claim to be followers
of the meek and lowly Jesus, who believe
exactly as this preacher believes. Existing
facts would indicate that it would be I'M
safe for any person to live in an absolutely
Christian community, instead of the con-
trary.
For many years the locality known as
Five Points and the Bowery, in New York

to pass through at night. Numerous rob-
berries, to say nothing of murder. have been
committed about them. So far as is known
there was not a solitary follower, or a per-
son who believed as IngersOll believed, in
either of those notorious localities. History
further records that locks and keys came
into existence with the development of
Christianity for the crime Of theft was al
most unknown in pagan countries.
The same preacher suggests, that Peoria,
Ill., is fitting locality in which to erect
statue to Col. Ingersoll, because. he says:-
NO doubt there is more graft, stealing,
murder, bloodshed, suicide and scandal of
every possible description in Peoria than
in any other city Of its size in the world"
To make the above sentence complete the
preacher ought to have added that with the
exception of Joliet, the city of Peoria had
more churches and Christians to the square
inch than any other city in the world. II
his opinion of Peoria be true then we are
forced to the conclusion that the crimes
he attributes to the people of Peoria are
directly attributable to Christianity and
Christian influences 1t may be that when
erected the statue of IngersOll will throw
different atmosphere over the city and the
great apostle of liberty will be able to life
it's people out of the depths of degradation
to which the disciples Of Christ have con-
signed them.
But why this harangue against Peoria and
Ingersolli
All! Peoria was the former home of the
great American, now dead. Its people have
a reverence for honesty and truthfulness'
which this preacher has not. OF all the
cities in America it has sought the statue
that is to be erected to the memory OF
Ingersoll, and in so-doing it has given
offense to the narrow Drained bigots of the
orthodox faith. Had Peoria refused to &C.
cept the statue and denied it place in the
city, her people would have been lauded to
the skies as exemplars for all mankind, but
having requested the statue, they are crimi-
nails of the deepest dye, in the estimation
of those who have no use for "truthfulness
and honesty"
Assuming that this preacher was in dead
earnest when he penned that article, we
can but argue that he Is of such small call
Der as to be unable to perceive the con-
tradictions of which he has been guilty.
The Blade would advise him to find some
convenient hole and then crawl in and hide
that truthful and honest men may not be

brought in contact with him. He is too
sanctified for this world anyway, and too
bigoted to be of any useful service. The
world could get along without him and
never miss him. His going would be a
blessing and the pity of it is that he is I'M
able to recognize this fact.

Interesting Notes From Various
Parts Of the State.
CONFERENCE AT DES MONIES
Republicans Would AIIay Fac
tionaI Strife That Has
Torn the Party.

Nearly 1000 Republicans held a
conference at Des Moines in an effort
to allay the factional strife which has
torn the party during the past
few years and which was believed
by many to menace the success
of the Republican ticket in this state.
The feature of the occasion was Gov
ernor Cummils' announcement that he
rad decided to call a special session
of the legislature to dispose of the
senatorial matter. This special ses-
sion will be asked to amend the state
primary law to permit the Republican
voters to select the senatorial success
sion at the regular election in Novem-
Der, instead of leaving it to a legis-
lative. caucus.
Governor Cummins' announcement
was generally accepted in good
spirit, the understanding being that
the law would be so amended that
only Republican voters could partici-
pate In the selection of Republican
senatorial candidate.
Many of the leaders of the party
were present and most of the mem
bers Of the Iowa delegation in con-
gress. Senator Dolliver was one of
the speakers, accepting the decision
Of the governor in good part and de.
claring himself unequivocally for a
harmony programme.
George D. Perkins, editor Of the
Sioux City Journal. bitter opponent
Of Governor Cummins, and Major
John F. Lacey were also among the
speakers for harmony.

secretary Wilson Says II Is More Pro-
ductive Than Ever Before.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson de-
clared that after forty years investiga-
ton the department of agriculture was
ready to say conclusively that Ameri-
can land is not wearing out. On the
contrary, he said. in a speech at the
Iowa state fair at Des Moines that its
productivity on the whole was larger
than ten years ago. This is the first
information upon the matter given
out by the secretary. The department
has just ended an exhaustive and
scientific investigation on this sub.
ject and Secretary Wilson regards the
result as conclusive.
Taking the productivity Of the soil
of the country of ten years, between
thirty and forty years ago as the basis
measured at 100 per cent, the depart
ment OF agriculture has discovered
that the productivity for the next ten
years was 81 per cent, for the next
ten years 1t was "a per cent and for
the last ten years it was 1OS per cent
while the Investigations disclosed
that the crops Of between thirty and
forty years ago were better than
those of ten and twenty years ago."
said the secretary. during the past
ten years there was a bigger average
crop per acre than during forty years. "
