NO LIFE BEYOND THE GRAVE
In All Nature There Is Natural Revolt
Against Death. Persons Believing in
Future Life Are In No Hurry To
Get Into It.
(By ]. H. Schwartz.)

If it were in the scheme of nature to
continue this life in another world filled
with eternal bliss our human natures would
be in perfect harmony with it. Our
warnings and longings from birth would
be for death.
Our belief is an acquisition. Our natural
propensities are Unborn or innate, and are
results of our materialstic makeup.
There are many who believe in future
existence and yet they do not seem to wish
to leave this life and world. This goes to
prove that their very natures cling tena-
ciously to this life. The natural desire to
live now, is greater than the acquired de-
sire to live hereafter.
Many a person has contemplated suicide
but at the last moment his heart failed him.
Is not this but natural revolt against
death?
Were you ever far away from home for
a long time? Do you remember how slowly
the train moved along on your journey
homeward? Wasn't your anxiety to reach
home greater than the desire to loiter
along the way?
Likewise, If life is journey and heaven
our destination, and it is a fact in nature,
would 1t not be but natural to desire death?
Would we not then be glad to leave the
different stations of life behind us2 But
had we the choice between eternal life
here, and an eternal life yonder, which

that woman should be obedient to her
husband, as he to the Lord that she
should maintain silence in churches, and if
she heard anything there she did not I'M
derstand, she should go home and ask her
husband"-and you all know what gushing
fountains of wisdom most husbands are.
And never since this first plea for the
American woman was made, up to this
hour, has any one ever uttered such a
scathing denuncation, against the tyranny
of men, or a more powerful defense for the
rights of woman
These words have read you, should be
printed in letters of gold, and hung on the
walls of the house of every woman, who is
today courageously contending for her
rights.
If the Suffragists of Cincinnati would
make history for themselves, they should
hasten to bring these historical utterances
to the light, and place them at the head
of the first chapter in the history of the
cause. If they 10 not, it is only a question
of time, until the Suffragist Society of some
other city will claim the honor.
Quite naturally, all of you are anxious
to know the name of the man who made
this first public plea for the women of
America. First let me tell you something
about him.
He was the first man to publicly declare
for the independence of the Colonies from
Great Britain He was first to write the
words The United States of America"
first to point out the dangers of slavery and
IN dpc1arp for ha fraa Of he
first to arraign monarchy, and to point out
the danger of its survival in the presidency
first to advocate international arbitration
first to expose the absurdity and criminal
ity of duelling; first to suggest more
rational ideas of marriage and divorce;
first to advocate national and international
copyright; first TO plead for the animals;
and first to demand justice for woman; in
fact, the whole circle of human ideas and
principles was recognized by this lone.
way-faring man, who claimed the world for
his country, and to do good, his only re-
igion.
What Washington did with the sword,
he did with the pen; and but for him. the
army would have disbanded, and the cause
been lost. More than once he held the
army together in those times that tries
mems souls" No portrait or statue of
this great man is to be found in the capitol
of his country. Politicians, the mere pup
pets of organized bigotry, have not had the
manhood to do justice to the memory of
this patriot, to whom, more than to any
other one man, American liberty is DUE
Nor is his name embazoned on the proud
tablets of any Hall of Fame" The reason
that he has thus been neglected is, that he
committed one great crime-the unpardon-
able crime Of declaring for the freedom of
Blue-grass blade., 1908-03-22

would we choose? Is not our natural love
for things terrestrial greater than for
things celestialY
We recoil at the thought of death. We
seek health resorts to proong this life here
No sane person who has health and can
command the necessities of life seeks
death or Graves the hereafter. This proves
to me that our very natures proclaim this
the only life and that death is disntegra-
ton and finality.
The hope for future life would indeed
be beautiful reality if all could live again
but it becomes repulsive when Straight
is the way, and narrow the gate and few
there be that enter therein" And yet isn't
the hope to live on .ut a sequel to the de-
sire to live now?
The hope for future conscious existence
is not a natural inclination nor a normal
condition of the human mind as some
contend. Primitive man entertained no
such hopes. many savage tribes have been
found that know nothing of such ideas.
Whatever is natural and normal is innate.
Hopes are acquired.
Because the universe shall stand forever
is no argument that man will live forever.
Cosmos as a whole is eternal, so are the
atoms that compose 1t, but the different
combinations of the atoms are transient.
The sun, the earth, the tree, the bug,
the potato, and man are but temporary
forms of matter and to admit future life
for any we must for all. Man has no pre-
nir,nr he 9TH of
atoms
Many of the atoms of our bodies, today,
will be replaced by others, tomorrow.
Now If all atoms are intelligent, as some
believe, are not those that have been
scattered all along the pathway of life as
intelligent as those that happen to be a
part of us at death? If so, and they should
take notion to reconstruct us what
monstrous giants we would be! The
Colossus of Rhodes would be but a pygmy
in comparison.
And, again. when our bodies are resolved
to the original atoms through disintegra-
ton, and are all absorbed by the grasses,
and some beast devours the grass and 1t
in turn is consumed by some other person,
who will have the first valid right to those
atoms in the resurrection? Might not con-
ficting claims cause an insurrection2
can not conceive of losing our material
istic natures and taking on the spiritual
l can comprehend nothing outside of matter
and energy, and they are inseparable.
Whenever I attempt to think Of spirit
get lost 1t becomes at once resolved into
a nonentity. To see how material may
become spiritual being is beyond my
ken. Let him demonstrate who can, how
a something can become nothing and yet
exist and / will fall PROSTATE at his feet.

giving direct connection from all Illinois
Central points with the sea at Savannah

a seaport for in addition to making it the
terminal for much of Alsbama's coal and
iron It will receive much OF the grain and
other traffic of the Mississippi valley.

TAFT HAS CALL IN WYOMING

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April IL Especially
A careful canvass OF the state has Just
been completed, and as result II Is safe
to predict that Wyoming will not only send
delegation to Chicago instructed for
William H. TAFT, but In the event OF his
nomination he viii carry Wyoming in No
vember. His plurality in this state viii
not be as great as was that Of President
Roosevelt four years ago. but II will be
sufficiently large to insure the secretary
of war that the republicans of this state
are for him. and not for William Jennings
Bryan, who II now appears will surely be
the democratic nominee opposing the re-
publican candidate
few weeks ago the republicans Of
Wyoming were an unknown quantity. \
large number were for MIR. Taft, and have
been right along; but there were others
with a strong leaning toward Root, Knox.
Hughes and Foraker. while a few preferred
either Fairbanks, Cannon or La Toilette.
Roosevelt always has been strong favor
its with Wyoming republicans. but his
repeated declarations that he would not ac-
ccpt a third term. finally caused his sd-
mirers to exclude his name from the list
OF presidential possibilities AS a rule the
Roosevelt men turned to Taft, and as
natural consequence Mr.. Taft soon became
the most popular candidate among the
many possibilities mentioned, and with the
possible exception Of Roosevelt himself,
Taft would poll larger vote In Wyoming
than any other candidate mentioned.
All doubt as to the position Of the republl-
can machine in Wyoming on the presiden-
tial question was dispelled when the state
central committee met here a few weeks
ago and passed resolution favoring Secre-
tary Tafts candidacy. Then came the let
ter of Senator Francis f. Warren, in
which he not only stated that he pre-
ferred Taft to any of the others, but set
forth many reasons why the secretary
would be the best man for Wyoming and
the west The Warren letter was published
in a number Of Wyoming papers and. it
is understood, was sent to large number
of the leading republicans in every county
in the state.
The result of this letter was magical.
for at once the Taft sentiment became so
strong as to even preclude the possibility
of any other name being considered by the
republicans of this state.
