ent has said. 1t reads in part:
Il can get twenty-five per cent more
work out OF sinners than can out of saints

Christian man on the job now SO far as

Such a statement may not be orthodox
but it is good, common sense, and the bust
ness community will applaud it, Profess
sions OF great piety no longer insures a
soft snap The saint hath no -eminence
over the sinner and as between men the
latter is given the preference. The day
has been a long time coming but it is
here at last and congratulations are ex-

and the promise of good fellowship should
he ever strike this section.

A CHASTITY JOKE.

1t is not recorded that when the Naza-
rene climbed the hillside 10 deliver his
famous sermon, he carefully laid side the
short end of cigarette. Jesus may not
have smoked cigarettes but that is no
reason why his representatives should not
do so. The New Testament, nor the old
one, for that matter, places any inhibition
upon the cigarette. The church canon Is
silent on that subject. Yet, II is reported
that Pope Plus x is not only an inveterate
cigarette smoker, but that he actually uses
the Turkish brand and can indulge in
sanctified joke about them. The cigarette
has long been associated with the silk cady
and the sooner necktie, striped socks, and
tanshoes, that it comes trife hard for us
to bring our deep pious nature to that point
wherein we can readily believe that the
Vicar of God on earth and Vice-Regent of
Jesus, can perform his sanctimonious
duties with a cigarette stuck between his
teeth. This may be sacrilege or bias
phemy, for aught we know but we are not
responsible for the statement, as the re-
ports coming via Madrid, in news dis
patches of the day, declare that the Pope
really enjoys Turkish cigarette and can
joke upon the subject by insisting that he

NO CHRISTIANS NEED APPLY.

Don't be sissy!
There is nothing like manliness and in
dependencies!
Inc unctuosity of an "Awmen" is no
longer a synonym for square deal and
truly Christian character is no longer re-
garded as a certificate for industry.
But rev short years ago it was the
proud boast of the church organizations,
through it's hired professors, that young
man with church record could secure
employment at any time and place in pref
erence to an applicant who did not belong
to church. For a season the preachers
were justified in making such a claim for
the employers of labor had not been able
to profit to any extent from the lessons
of experience. Now things have changed
and the good-goody young man is con-
signed to Hades, or, to much warmer
climate than Los Angeles, while the sinner
gets the pie. The cloak of orthodox pro-
fession has been used to cover many sins
but the Captains of Industry are now get
ting suspicious of the too much piety sort
of a man. The sinner has tridmphed over
the saint and the church has been COM
PEELED to get on its knees and beg for what
it terms square DEAL or, that it's men,
bers shall be placed upon an equality with
the men who do not belong to church.
This innovation comes from the far West.
The scene is laid in Los Angeles and the
setting is a large building that is in
course of construction for the benefit of the
Y M. c. A. 1t was naturally supposed
that the members of that Protestant Je-
suit band would be given the preference
in the matter of employment and number
of them tried to work the church racket
in demanding it, The plan failed, for out
of two hundred men employed on the build.
ing there is not a protesting Christian among
them, and what is more, the General Su-
perintendent c. B. Weaver, is out with a
published statement to the effect that he
will not employ one of them If he knows
it. This has raised howl from the church
element but it is noticed that Superin-
tendent Weaver Is man Of his word and
means exactly what he says. Religion may
satisfy a lot of hysterical women and a few
babies but when it comes to business the
horse takes on another and different hue.
Too much protesting piety in man now
forces the impression that he is Sissy"
and employers have no use fcr him. This
indicates the clear trend of modern thought

has so far been unable to Christianize them
The report states that the Bishop of
Acequi recently called upon the Pope and
the latter asked the Bishop to dine with
him. He did SO. At the close of the meal
the Pope lit Turkish cigarette and the
dispatches give the following as to what
was said and done:-
THE Pope asked the Bishop to dine with
him. After dinner His Holiness really
very partial.
The Bishop, noticing the kind of tobac-
CO, said:
Does Your Holiness really smoke Turk
ish cigarettes?"
Yes, my dear friend" answered the
Pope, smiling. up to this time I have
been unable to Christianize them"
''Other terms, other jests." adds the
Bishop, in telling the story. "A few hun
dred years ago the Pope would have said,
Il cannot Christianize them, SO burn
them"
The CHASTITY sentiment contained in the
last two lines of the quotation is but too
literally true. 1t was intended as joke
about the nationality and religious pre-
tensions of the worshippers of Allah. but it
is not SO very long ago. in the measure of
time, when another Pope caused human
being to be burned because he had failed
to Christianize him. That burning took
place within view of the papal residence
and to this day monument marks the
spot upon which Giordano Bruno gave his
young and glorious life to the cause of
metal liberty. If we cannot Christianize
them we burn them. The very expression
indicates what finds lodgment in the minds
of these prelates of the Christian church.
1t is but an echo from the past and the
smoldering fires of religious massacre are
still there. 1t is not a crime to smoke
a cigarette and even the Pope of Rome
may indulge, if he is SO inclined, but 1t Is
the ghastliness of the joke to which special
attention is so desired, for in so serious an
undertaking as the wilful destruction OF
human life, the pious can look on I'M
fad
