ANOTHER EDITOR CONVICTED.

The trail of the serpent is again on the broad
prairies Of the northwest
Through DR.. f. b. Foote, of New York City, treas
of the Free Speech League the Blade is informed
that Freeman Knowles, editor and publisher of The
Lantern, at DeadwoOd South Dakota, has been tried
and convicted in federal court the charge of send
ing obscene matter through the mails, and, according
to the present outlook, it looks if he will have to
spend some months, if not years, i'll prison, the
tence not having been imposed at this writing
From perusal Of the article in question, which has
been republshed since the trial and conviction, the
Blade is unable to detect the slightest obscenity but
the contrary, beautiful, tender and pathetic pen
picture of gigantic social evil in which thousands of
young led to mOnstrOus sacrifice There
can be no question that the alleged obscenty far
from the mind of the author when he penned that
article and the only Judgment any sensible person
could impose would be that the evil exists only in the
minds of those whose thoughts instnctively turn to
evil, who desire evil, practice evil and encourage it.
DR.. Foote writes, the mouthpiece Of the Free
Speech League: 81 have kept track of such things for
thirty years, and this to be the worst YETI
Every Freethnker is willing to abide by his judg-
ment. Under such circumstances it is gratifying to
know that the fight is not over for through the opera
tons of the League the convicted editor will derive
liberal support and it would be fitting that lovers of
liberty should do what they could to help in the effort
to maintain the freedom and integrity of the Ameri-
press.

because they harmonize appear to harmonic with
their half-conscous religious conceptions, and
because such socaled truth is established by esoteric
rather than exoterc evidence. Mohammedanism and
Buddhism still voice the religious sentiment of the
Orient despite the many years of futile effort of the
followers of Jesus to Christianize it. And yet through
all the living breathing thinking world, and
women are drifting more and more from the influence
of sacred books and it must be said that the orthodox
pulpit is leading the procession This is not

and yet, Atheism rises higher and higher, just
as education increases and marches with irresst-

the reasoning world Of men. The Christian will,
account of his faith take issue with this statement,
but what has he to say when after nineteen centuries
and more, of earnest PROSECUTING scarcely one-fOurth
of the world is Christian and in every country which
is now professedly Christian, Materiasm and Athe-
ism flourish like green bay tree! OF eighty million
American people less than one-tllrd are church
municants and it is exceedingly doubtful if half of
them actually believe the Bible. Beecher criticised
the Bible, Ingersoll did, while nnumerabe
preachers occupying pulpits to-day, striving
to explain to their church congregations that the bible
is collection of beautiful myths and tabled allegory
The story Of suffering savior appeals to the heart
perhaps, and brings up feeling of sentimental pity,
but with reasoning men it can never get beyond the
head If sympathes evidence could prove
almost anything but in matters of such great import

not being forthcoming he suspends his Judgment for
a season until he investigate and this ultimately
leads to rejection of all gods belief in gods and

smooth face and oily phrases In the
hope Of gaining favor or securing
an advantage, but "taffy" is honest
praise which we ought to give away

lectures, Borrowing Trouble" this
afternoon at 3 o'clock, as a gift to
all those who hold tickets to the
chautauqua course.
DR.. Sears, like Dr. Gunsaulus, has
been in Amarillo long enough to
catch the infectious spirit OF build
ing big things and he is enthusiastic
over the prospect for big chautau-
qua OF big men and women which
snail be held in Amarillo every sum-
mer. This chautauqua can be the
greatest in Texas, he said, and he
stacked up arguments enough to
prove that he knew what he was
talking about. He has been riding
about a hundred miles or so over the
Amarillo country in an automobile
since he came here and he has been
hearing a few average citizens tell
him whether the Panhandle Is a good
country or not and whether or not
there is city anywhere with more
possibilities than Amarillo.
