pital. Mr.. Sherman suffered a similar
attack in New York City two years
ago while serving as chairman of the
Republican congressional campaign
committee. He was seriously i'll then.
but no operation was performed. The
operation for gall stones is not con-
sidered dangerous in itself, though,
according to physicians. there is al
ways danger of complications.
At noon Mr.. Sherman was resting
easily, suffering comparatively little
pain, and was said to be better than
at any time during the past twenty
four hours, and it was not believed
that the operation would be necessary

Blue-grass blade., 1908-08-23
s Current Comment on Public Events

Is it possible that the Blade has thought
lessly been guilty of wasting its space?
Is it possible that Messrs. Head, Hayes
and Thorn have deliberately thrown away
opportunities for obtaining facts, instead
of theories, about the planet Mars?
Had we all known of the matter in time
much patient labor might have been saved
useful brain power diverted to some other
and equally important channel, instead OF
struggling after physical facts to lind out
by observation and experiment, whether
or not Mars has canals or mountains, plains
or great seas. men or monkeys.
In a recent issue of the Sunfower,
Spiritualist paper published at Hamburg, N
Y, an alleged medium, whose name is given
as Mrs. Smead," comes out with message
from the rudy planet which, though using
an alphabet similar to our own, but in
construction resembling an admixture OF
Greek and Latin, showing conclusively, to
Spiritualists, that Mars is not only habi
table, but actually habited by sentient be-
ings. Mrs. Smead proves this by her own
statement that she has been to Mars, in
the spirit, and held converse with the
Marian people. OF course, the spirit came
back to earth and she is able to translate
the communication for the benefit OF those
who may be inclined to believe her story.
To give the fake an appearance of truth
it is published under New York date line
dated August 5. 1t reads:
'Ti ryre neu infew mare laries en- fratur
triuen carmie.
The article then goes on to suggest that
the reader may not know the language thus
employed, and suggests that 1t is a sen
tence from the universal tongue spoken on
the planet Mars" OF course, 1t also stated
that the sentence was obtained from
spirit alleged to communicate" through the
personality of the celebrated Mrs. Smead."
The attempt then follows to give transla
ton of the sentence,( which is interpreted
to be as follows:
"The man chief rulers place in which
looks on your earth from Mars"
Honest Injun! But it does look like
case of bunko. People who make profit
upon the credulity of the childish and sim
pie, invariably strive to acquire wide ad-
vertisement Nothing is better calculated
to offer such means of advertisement than
to make preposterous claims OF mysticism.
Assuming that Mars was inhabited and
that the people had language, it Is i'm
possible that they should adopt a system
of vowels and consonants similar to our
own with which to produce articulate
vocabulary. Again, assuming even all this
to be true, it is absurd to suppose that
translation could be made, literally, by
such means. The Blade has no desire to
injure any woman's professional possibili-
ties, but any attempt to make money or
profit of any character out of such grossly
fraudulent representations is too reprehen-
sjble to escape without notice in this day
and age of fact.
But this is where the spirit medium has
got the bulge on all the Blade writer's who
have been discussing the condition of the
Blue-grass blade., 1908-08-23

rudy planet. brOtner hayes gives an az
ray of facts to support his theories Brother
Head replies with some more facts to sus-
tain another and different theory. Brother
Thorn chips in with his ideas on the same
subject, when, could they only have known
it, direct information from Mars could have
been given them with but little effort by
simply communicating with the celebrated
Mrs. Smead."
All, me! What errors in judgment we
fall heir to through not knowing the precise
path to follow! Students of Mars, put
aside your telescopes. Stop theorizing!
Send the celebrated Mrs. Smead' a small
disk of gold with an eaglet engraved there
on by your Uncle Samuel, and you can get
all the information you want concerning
Mars and it's people.
Moses wrote actual history.
Moses is corroborated and Egypt actually
suffered seven years of famine, as predicted
by Joseph, the male person in the Potiphar
scandal.
This is no COAX"
The patient work of the excavator and
the scholarly toll of the decipherer of rec
ords on stone and papyrus are slowly but
surely revealing the secrets of ancient
Egypt"
So writes the London correspondent of
the New York Sun, and that newspaper,
once the pride of a great journalist, actual
ly plays it up to a finish in an effort to
cater to the bible advocates.
The alleged facts that one Brugsch Bey,
while digging in the land of the Pharaoahs,
at Thebes, is reported to have discovered
and deciphered hieroglyphic record tend
ing to prove that the seven years of famine
which fell upon Egypt, following seven
years of plenty, as related in Genesis, was
actually fact in history, and he under
takes TO prove this by. translation of his
find, showing that during the seven years
mentioned, the Nile failed to overflow it's
banks and inundate the surrounding country
by which means alone the inhabitants
thereof were able to produce vegetation.
BY looking at the bible record Prof
Brugsch has discovered that this famine is
supposed to have occurred about 100 B. c.
1t was then an easy matter for him to
translate his find and make it read for the
same preiod of time, thereby corroborating
the bible. Bible corroboration is thus rem
dered comparatively easy, but we are prone
to ask that il the bible is a record of his
torcal data, compiled under direct in
spiration from the deity, it needs no cor
roboration, for the truths 1t contains would
thus be made self evident. The very fact
that these repeated finds are used to gull
the public, unsuspecting, of course, into a
belief that bible confederation is thus Of
fered, indicates doubt in the mind of the
finder and that his conduct becomes neces-
sary to bolster up the work of the almighty
The trouble is that while the bible story
Is looked upon as mere fancy, the trans
lation of Prof. Brugsch will be taken only
as rank fake of the first water. The
wonder is that he is unable to appreciate

ship. But just as there were fools in the
alleged time of Moses, SO there will con-
tinue to be fools as long as mankind will
tolerate such trifling with history.
Failing to give value received for the
cash consideration agreed upon, an alleged
evangelist, passing current under the cog
nomen of Rev. John Newton Lyle, operating
near New York City, got into difficulty
with the pastors Of the neighbOrhOod, who
had employed him, with the result that
the resident parsons tore down the tent
in which he was holding forth nightly and
one of the parsons, overseeing the job was
arrested for grand larceny. Hauled before
the Harlem police court the feud was re-
newed and instead of dwelling and working
together in unity, for the common cause
of graft, there is blood upon the evangelis-
tic moon.
To properly appreciate this incident our
readers must understand that the profess
sional gOspel-spouting evangelist first pro-
ceeds to lay before resident pastors, the
grounds that constitute a necessity for
his labOring in that district. Unmindful
Of the fact that his proposal is an implied
criticism of their own work, the evangelist
proceeds to point out the advantages to
their respective congregations, provided
they consent to employ him, and an agree
ment can be reached concerning the rake
off. But it is also known that the rake-o is a
fixture in preaching. Salvation is said to
be free, but the preachers must have cash.
In some cases sort Of guarantee is given
that so many souls" shall be won to
Christ, and the evangelist can usually get
out of a tight hole, for IL the sinners" do
not repent" fast enough to enable him to
keep up his contract, he hires a few I'M
known parties to start the conversion
racket, and once under way the people are
a In tad tn foil IL, Apo1r of
sheep. Some such bargain had been made
between Evangelist Lyle and the local
preachers, but Lyle failed, the preachers
were disappointed, and, wishing to cut
down expenses by getting rid of Lyle,
they took away his tent, left the poles
standing, but Lyle worked on without a
tent, ignored the preachers, and evangeliz-
ed on his own hook. Now the preachers
are mad clean through, Lyle is on the
war path, and the religion of meekness and
humility is being demonstrated to the peo-
pie who do attend by its professors and
advocates.
The Blade is gratified that the good work
of exposing the shams and frauds of mod
ern Christianity is thus being carried out.
1t has been well said that when thieves
fall out, honest men will get their Dues"
and the more the clergy and their allies
quarrel over the spoils Of evangelizing
campaigns. the sooner will the entire sys-
TEN be brought into such public dfsrepute
that 1t will be no longer tolerated. Sic

The pulling contests Monday
evening proved to be exciting events
and each event was hotly contested.
The feature of the pulling was the
work of the two single horses, one
owned by Jas. Hansen, and the
other by Ike Stevens. The single
horse contest soon centered down to
these two and with the sled loaded
with between thirty and forty peo-
pie each horse got down and started
the load. The horses pulled so
evenly that several pulls were taken
and the contest not decided. AF
they were going to hitch the faith
fnl animals up for final struggle,
Judge Devine said he would refuse
to allow the horses to stra'n them
selves farther, as 1t was becoming
an unnecessary cruelty, and the
money was diyidel.
