As an aid in this glorious march of progress Free

MEETING CALLED FOR ST. LOUIS.

The Blade expresses the hope that by this time enough
has been said by Feehnker writing its columns upon
the subject of organization convince all who inter
ested that have organization, and not permit
this splendid opportunity to pass by without taking that
action necessary to bring it into existence.
In this issue will be found several additional letters
the subject Only has far been received which
presses the slightest doubt concerning the prospective
of such organization and that doubt is qualified
such that it is in opposition to the
men We call attention each and all of these letters
because from them learn the general drift of Free
thought sentiment in the country, and each idea sug
gested gives mental food for those who willing to take
an active part in its formation.
We have been privately advised not to proceed too
rapidly the organizing point but to take things cautious
" and sure This advice is wholesome. Too much haste
might ruin the purpose have in view For this reason
we suggest that the middle of November would be more
appropriate for holding the proposed meeting and
that it should be held either at Cincinnati St Louis
Either point would be acceptable to large number of
friends and we believe that the month of November would

1t may be stated right here that the Blade is in pos
session of the and addresses well a partial
knowledge of their ability of number of men and
who willing and anxious engage in field work in
behalf of treethOught and the organization could
ienty consider and means of putting them to work
1t may not be possible to start them all at time
We do this by taking at time and the demand
increases provide for supplying it. We need have
fear far the propaganda concerned but need
the brains and the necessary financial aid to prop
uganda in way Keeping in touch with these ee
ments, and drawing aid the BRAIN snew and the
combined strength of all friends of the cause,
struct a winning PLATFORM adopt a winning system of
propaganda and make the organization power for good
in the land.
Our present inclination is to call the meeting for St
Louis the larger number naming any place have sug
geed it, and for the second Sunday in November, which
will be the 18th of that month 1t to from all
the expressions given that the date and place of the meet
ing here given will be the most practical and the most
suitable for the majority IT, however, later opinions
given which would induce change that change readily
be made. This is not final, conclusive We wish to
please many possible and finally call the meeting at
such place will be convenient to the larger
Der and best adapted to the purposes have under con-
sideration.
For fear the officers and members of existing societies.
organized for Freethought purposes should be inclined to
the belief that the organization, proposed is being
designed to suppan them wish to state that the sole
object in view is to unite all upon common platform, and
this end all existing societies invited to send dele

ative principles thereof. The main object in view is to
blend all into harmonious whole upon purely Free
thought basis opposing sacerdotaism, theology, and
kindred cults thereto minus of the isms that have
wrecked former societies of this character Realizing that
the work we have assumed is of gigantic proportions

thinkers for the purpose of launching the organization
will be held at St Louis on Sunday, the 18th day of

HUNGER STRIKES
THE WH|TEHOUSE
PRESIDENT TAFT is STARVING
EMPLOYEES OF THE ExEcU.
TIVE OFFICES.
New Administrator of the Nation
Seems to Require No Food-So
No Ora Else Eats.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
President Taft is starving his Sec
retaries, stenographers, telegraph op-
orators and messengers.
1t isn't because he is penurious OF
ard-hearted, or because he wishes to
deprive his subordinates of food, but
because he does not eat any midday
meal himself, that 25 or 80 husky
young men about the executive offices
are going around with a famished
look in their eyes and praying that
hunger may over,ake their new chief
President Roosevelt always went to
his luncheon at 80 D. m. and re-
NAMED up at the big House" until 8.
Often he did not come bac kat all, but
from luncheon went out for a ride
with Mrs. Roosevelt or some of his
friends. Now all is changed. There is
no such thing as lunch hour Mr..
Taft occasionally eats an apple about
noon but never anything more sub
stantial, and seems to thrive, grow
strong and remain cheerful on nothing
at all from a. m. until p. m.
Moreover the employees at the White
House have discovered thus early in
che administration that President Taft
is glutton for work if he is not for
food, and not thinking about luncheon
himself forgets that anyone else can
be hungry, and drives the force right
ahead, hour after hour, so long as
there is any work in sight.

MRS. S. A. WILLIAMS, r. F. ID. No. IA,
Box 80, Gardiner Me.
Because your case is a difficult one,
doctors having done you no good,
do not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial. 1t surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
flammation, liberation, displacements,
fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner-
vous prostration. It costs but trifle
to try it, and the result is worth mil
lions to many suffering women.

WASHINGTON, March 1S-Presi-
of the above verses of the Bible when
he kissed the Holy Book in taking the
oath of office as President of the Unit
ed States on March 4th, according to
a statement made to the United Press
by the clerk of the supreme court.
Is it a prophecy of wise and un-
derstanding" administration of the new
president?
But one president in the last 40
years has kissed a more suspicious
verse in the Bible.
Strangely enough, too the words of
that passage are nearly identical with
those which the latest president rev.
erently touched with his lips. They
are: II Chronicles, 1; 10, which the
martyred Mckinley kissed at his first
inaugural-"Give me now wisdom and
knowledge that l may go out and come
in before this people; for who can
judge this thy people that is so great?'
For ten administrations, one man has
held the Bible and kept a record OF the
passages kissed by each new presi-
dent. That man is James H. McKen-
ney, the venerable clerk of the su-
preme- court of the United States. With
the chief justice of the United States
he has stood up before ten successive
presidents, heard the solmen words or
the oath and at it's conclusion, pre-
sented to the new chief executives
lips the Bible that marked compile
ton of the ceremony.
Mr.. McKenfey has, each or these
ten times, marked the passages kissed.
When the oath is administered the

commissioner Leupp was placed in
charge of the and Office by Presiden,
roosevelt TO make a general Cleaning
UP. And he has done SO. He had made
more radical changes in the admins
ration of Indian affairs than were
ever before made in the history of the
bureau.
And Roosevelt stood behind him at
every step. The storm of opposition
that arose against Leupp, both from,
the politicians who had for yeras re
garded the Indian office as their Iegit-
innate pork barrel and from the vari~
Gus Indian betterment'' societies of
New England who were disappointed

that he would put their fads into opt

when criticism had been most bitter.
ne said to Leupp:
If they would bring affidavits to me
by the car load supporting a petition
to turn you out, l would throw them
down into the fire and tell you to go
ahead.
If Leupp can get that kind of back
ing from President Taft, he will stay

LEGISLATURE ADOPTED LIBERAL
POLICY TOWARD BIG
EXPOSITION.
Not Only Donated Money for Fair But

Not Only Donated Money for Fair But

OLYMPIA, March 1S.-The last
legislature adopted a liberal policy to-
ward expositions, fairs and general ex-
hibitions that advertise the resources
of this state Oregon had previously
vertisement of its resources and Wash
ington is merely following in the
footsteps of other commonwealth that
have profited by exploitation.
The legislatures efforts to put
Washington prominently to the front
in the Pacific coast states, cover the
entire range between an appropriation
encouragement of county and agricul-
tural fairs. In the program are in
cluded appropriations for the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition, appropria-
ton for soil experiments and fund
net aside for the entertainment of del
egates to the irrigation congress which
meets in Spokane this year.
Probably the most important work
in this direction that the legislature
undertook was its encouragement of
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition.
The lawmakers continued the states
appropriation of 100000 for a Wash
ington exhibit. and granted the state
commission authority to elect a mem
Der who would become an executive
and to pay him an adequate salary.
AS this bill has worked out, L. p.
Hornberger of Spokane, has been elect
ed the executive head Of the fair COM
mission and has IN addition assumed
Thomas Payne, who resigned a short
time ago. In taking UP the extra du-
ties of secretary, Mr. Hornberger has
refused to collect any extra salary for
his additional work
Counties to Help Fairs.
Going still further on the EXPOSE
ton, the legislature authorized the
county commissioners of This state
to expend a sum equal to one-half of
mill on last years tax levy, either for
county buildings or home exhibits.
This bill is of special Importance in
that it viii permit Pierce and Spokane
counties to carry OFT an elaborate pro-
gram they have considered for show
ing al the 1909 fair.
The appropriation Of 100000 for the
entertainment Of the National Irriga-
ton congress at Spokane is a new de-
parturt for this state, but it illustrates
the new attitude of the solons TO give
all possible publicity to Washington's
resources and to encourage immigra7
ton to this state. 1t is somewhat of the
same character as an allotment in the
omnibus appropriations bill of $4,000
tor the state statistician.
