Colonel Bill and Colonel Jim.

Colonel Bill Bryan in his Fourth
Of July speech at Lincoln to the
Pennsylvania delegation ripped Colo
mel Jim Guffey up the back in fine
style. He calls him the representa-
tive of the predatory plutocracy.'

has money power" beat a block)
and says he is traitor to Col. Bill.
and a boss, and adds Il will have no
boss in my organization" Col. Bill
you will see, lays no claim to being
a boss himself. he simply states the
fact of his ownership Of the demo
cratic party.
Col. Jim. however. gets back al
Col. Bill with few hard ones. He
shows how he. with Marcus DAILY and
Hearst. contributed the funds for Col.
Bills previous campaigns. and were
promptly thrown over when they re-
fused longer to make angels of them
selves. He shows that in those days
public into his confidence about his
campaign subscriptions. and he shows
how easily Col. Bill changed his mind
about Roger Sullivan when he need
ed the Illinois delegation. A few of
Col. Jim's choicest illusions to Col
Bill are as follows:
THE only boss he (Bryan) hates
is the boss opposed to his own ar
rogant self-the most impudent, dom
ineering. devastating boss the demo
cratic party has ever known.
"Mr. Bryan calls me a bushwhack
er who should not be put into my
councils to betray me-" MY coun
cils," indeed! Is the democratic par
ellis? Is Mr.. Bryan the whole orga
nization?
Il am no more of a boss now than
l was during the two campaigns
when won his appreciation by try
ing to elect Bryan.
Il am a corporation man, but it is
only when opposed to Mr.. Bryan that
l am considered unworthy of associa
ting with the one living honest dem
ocrat."
Through his friend and manager
Mr.. Bryan not only accepted crate
fully. but beseechingly sought, ouI
aiu ana we gave freely thousands
and thousands of dollars.
This simple recital of plain facts
shall be sufficient to enable any fair
mind to determine with certainty
who is the self-convicted falsifier
who the hypocrite, who the real and
most arrogant boss ever known in
the democratic party, and who, 1 re-
gret to add, the migrate.

stained scrupuously from taking any
part in state controversies. What

At the conclusion of this part of
the program an adjournment was TAX
en- to town where a continuation of
the program consisting Of series of
novelty races was given, the result OF
which will be found in the summary
below
In the evening after the crowd had
exhausted all the other explosives in
the town, and everything else that
would make a noise or flame, came
the big display of fireworks. and they
were just as advertised, by far the
finest and biggest ever given in this
section, and so admirably arranged
that everyone had ample opportunity
to witness the entire display.
At the close there was a dance at
the opera house and the rest of the
night was spent there by consid-
cradle portion Of the crowd.
Large delegations came from Ora
NADIA and Wiley and the stations on
both railroads. and the country in the
vicinity of Lamar simply turned out
en- masse just as the town did.
The success of the occasion is very
largely due to the energetic and
painstaking work of the committee
on arrangements who have devoted
a large part of their time to this
work for several weeks.

Dooley says, 1T takes all kinds
iv men to make up the democratic
party. an thin there are hardly ..
nough." but this is much simplified
now. William Jennings Bryan is the
whole party, he says. and there is
every reason to believe he knows it.
At least he gives out his orders as
to who is who in my organization"
However, this does not alter Mr.. Doc

When political bosses fall out the
truth generally comes to light. and
this controversy has served to show
more vividly than ever before just
how shallow are Bryan's pretenses
of reform, and how ready he Is to
sacrifice any principle. any friend. OF

of one more try at the presidency
He had very little show when people
gave him credit for sincerity, bu'

There are Neither Gods or Devils Who
Dispute With Each other Over the
Souls of Men.
(By DR.. T. ]. Bowles.)
NO. l..

Every cultured man and every cultured
woman on this earth now know, to a pos
tive and absolute certainty, that every
human being in this world who kneels and
worships at the shrine of any supernatural
religion is a devotee of the most ancient
and degrading superstition.
Every scheme of Redemption and Saliva
ton from sin, founded upon the incarnation
and crucifixion of a God, all the higher
types of men and women now know, are
myths and legends, conceived and written
in the infancy of the human race, when man
was i'm the savage and barbarous periods of
his career on earth, and but few degrees
removed from his animal ancestors
Every student of Enthnography is IA
miiar with the fact, that all the Gods and
all the Devils, and all the spirits and all
the ghosts, that have ever lived and
fourished in the brain of the human race,
are personifications and deiications of the
objects and forces in Nature.
Every psychologist knows that this was
natural and necessary, because all print
tive and savage people have no idea what
ever of natural law, and until the idea of
Natural law udWnS upon tnt all tuc
phenomena of Nature have to be explained
in terms of personal agency.
Because of this necessity of thought
primitive and savage man had to believe
that nearly all the objects and forces in
Nature were endowed with personality like
themselves; and in this way the sun, which
we know to be the center OF our system
of worlds, they were compelled, by the
necessities of thought to believe, was
Supreme Being and an all-powerful God
and there is not nation that ever lived
upon the earth but what its people at some
time in their history have worshipped the
sun, as the Supreme and Almighty God OF
the universe.
1t will thus be seen that primitive and
savage men were compelled naturally to
people the whole world with supernatural
beings, and these myths and the legends
which grew out of them fill the pages of all
holy books, and divine revelations from the
Egyptian Book of the Dead, which is the
oldest, down to the Mormon Bible, which
Blue-grass blade., 1908-02-09
Persistence Of Superstition

is the latest communication and revelation
from the Gods to man.
Every one of these divine revelations
and holy books are full of superstitions,
in a modified form, that prevailed among
all primitive peoples hundreds of thousands
of years ago, while man was yet a savage.
One of the Oldest of these debasing SUI
perstitions that dominated the life of all
primitive peoples, constitutes the founda-
ton of every scheme of supernatural re-
ligion in the world today
All primitive people from the necessity
of thought were compelled to believe that
their Gods were like themselves, only
greater and more powerful, and that they
loved and hated, and that their favor could
be secured by gifts, and their wrath
averted by sacrifices
To appease the anger of the Gods, and
escape punishment by the sacrifice OF inno-
cent victims was a universal practice
among all ancient people from time i'm
memorial.
These superstitions about sacrifices were
perfectly natural and necessary during the
long night of savagery and narbarism, be.
cause during these stages OF mental de-
veopment all the phenomena of Nature
had to be explained in terms of personal
agency, and every remarkable display of
natural force like volcanoes and earth
ouakes; thunder and lightning: floods and
pestilences; storms and eclipses, had to
be explained as the work OF exasperated
Gods, and sacrifices of animals and inno-
cent men, women and children, they sup
posed, were absolutely necessary to pacify
these Infatuated Gods and Devils
In this purely natural way, sacrifcial
religion had its birth, and became univer-
sal among all the primitive peoples of the
earth, and for tens of thousands of years
the whole earth was slaughter-house, and
countless millions of animals, men women
and children were sacrificed, to appease the
wrath of the Gods, and secure their favor:
it will thus be seen that the dabolical SUI
perstition of vicarious atonement to satisfy
and pacify the wrath of God is as old as
the human race.
On this foundation of superstition rests
all the supernatural religion that now
curse the human family, and fill the world
with sorrow, discord and strife, for expia.

demption through the death of Divine and
Incarnate Savior, is but the elimination

avert calamity.
Like our savage ancestors, who lived in
dens and caves, the modern priests of SUI
persttion still teach innocent men, women
and children, that the curse of God against
the sinful, must be removed by transferring
the load of guilt onto the shoulders of in
nocence.
Like our primitive forefathers, in whose
minds the idea of law had not yet dawned
the priests of modern superstition still pros
titute the minds of innocent men, women
and children with the Infamous falsehood
that divine justice required the blood Of
innocence.
Like our savage and blood-thirsty pro-
genitors, who cherished the superstition
that the slaughter of animals and men
would pacify their Gods, the modern priests
of superstition debauch the minds of in
nocent men, women and children with the
awful superstition, that the death of his
innocent and sinless son was demanded by
their God Jehovah This dreadful and in
fnitely absurd superstition, that the Inf
mite and Eternal Cause of all things, had
son, and cruelty put him to death in a
scheme of redemption for the human race,
let us hope, will soon forever disappear
from the mind of civilized men.
Like our remote and brutal ancestors,
whose Gods were all anthropomorphic, and
had an Unsuitable appetite Ior blood, our
modern priests of superstition insist that
their God, Jehovah, could devise no scheme
of ca1v wit hn
blood of his only son and snless son.
Our glorious scheme of redemption, it
will thus be seen, rests upon the terrible
superstition that prevailed universally
among our wild and ferocious primitive
ancestors that the wrath of the Gods could
only be appeased by the shedding of blood
Such is the magical and wonderful
scheme of atonement; man is poor, miser-
able and fallen being; he is responsible
for the sins of our first parents; a law
has been broken, and to satisfy the justice
of the Infinite and Eternal Cause of all things
he descends from his home in Heaven to
the earth, and in the person of Christina,
he enters the womb of virgin, and is born
and nursed like other babes and when he
grows to the stature of manhood, he per-
mits himself to be crucified and buried, and
then bursts the bonds of his tomb, rises
from the dead, and goes back to his home
in heaven; again he repeats this process
in the person of Osiris; and again in the
person of Quetzalcoatle, and still again until
his descents, incarnations, crucifxions,
resurrections, and ascensions reach the re-
spectacle number of fifteen experiments,
and finally he comes down from his celestial
abode into Palestine, and creates wide

Dr. Pur- cell thinks a run during the fair would be big drawing card.
