ling liberty. They daily growing brazen in their
efforts. The Sunday law amendment in Texas is evil
dence Of this fact If their sinister
influences and check these efforts theocratc government
then Freehinkers must organize for the fray and stand
shoulder shoulder in the pending struggle Ere long
it may be late. Orthodoxy is satisfied with toll
Grafton. Orthodoxy insists upon rule ruin policy and
matter which end orthodoxy takes spells ruin and
suffering for the great of the people.
Consider this call to arms! Not for physical conflict
but for mental battle that shall put complete rout the
enemies of American freedom. Freethnkers first gave
freedom the colonies If freedom is remain soil
then Freethnker of the present day the fight
and keep up until the end Stand by the organizations
have, those that active in prosecuting the campaign
for mental liberty Send every engine of mental war to the
front Heavy artillery is needed here Make every shot
tell Drive them to their hiding places by pointed argu
and fact Let the fight be open and fair. Keep
it up until decision is reached The Blade does fear
the result
True, indeed the cremation and nterment of liberty
herein discussed only in Texas but must not forget
that it follows, that the of bigotry and intolerance
in Texas that similar attempts will follow in other
States before long For this it fight right
Fanaticsm must be swept out of the country Only big
otry born of ignorance and nured by nsoence, will pre-
dictate American citizenship in of reg
ion and religious obsevances
Are there any Freethnkers who live in fancied

for your children! Are you willing that your children
should face such conditions that you might be permitted

shorter and more easily than to defer action until

TEXAS LIBERTY DEAD AND BURIED.

The Sunday law of Texas, and its attempted en-
forcemen has induced remarkably pathetic ceremony at
New Braunfes German settlement in the Lone Star
State.
While such proceedings in which these people report
ed have INDUCED may offer the of giving demon
straon their feelings of dapprova of the action of the
General Assembly, yet the Blade cannot approve Of this
being the last stand that possibly be made to
of their noyment of liberty ruthessy taken
from them The Blade believes in making aggressive
fight determined resistance, and everlasting war
against those Purtans who would murder segovernment
crafty pruren piey. In great measure the people
themselves blame They have stood for this and that
ism at the dictates of party until the party felt above and
superior the people, and instead of making concessions
the people effort their suffrage, they have
dictated the people, and in solemn concave have form
ulaed platforms foreshadowing legislation which the people
must submit to, whether favorng it or not
There is genuine truth than sentiment in the flu
neral procession the accompanying drge and the
ton of papers that represented symbolcay the principles
of liberty and sefgovemmen 1t is lesson to every Free
thinker in America that in this day and age, in free
America the asylum of the oppressed the boosted land of
religious and political liberty such ceremony should be
INDUCED in. 1t demonstrates that the spirit of Puransm
and fanacsm is not yet dead 1t speaks in thunderous
of the trend of the modern church in effort to
absh theocracy in the United States. 1t rings note
of warning to every and who loves liberty to
stand by her and give every possible aid and encour
agement those who in the thick of the battle. 1t
suggests that the battle is yet half won, and another
twentieth century Paine is needed to furnish another
crisis for independence.
