L'ppltt and CounciImen Tiff, BarrolI
and Stravens went to the commissioners
Monday and proposed that, instead of
building stone wall at the north end,
the concrete wall facing the river be ex-
tended across the street, distance of 40
feet, that the street be filled to level
with the court house grounds, and then
the 10 feet would be vacated az desired
by the commissioners. This was ac-
cepted. Consequently the north wall
will not be built, but instead the street
Will be filled and the concrete wall ex-
tended 40 feet farther than originally
intended. This will be an added i'm
provement, better for city and county.

What hath religion done for man!
Behold her record since the world began
From fetchism to the creed of Christ
Truth unto hath she sacrificed
And good to evl-reason fair 10 faith.
For faith rebuketh all that saith
And builds palace upon lies, throne
Upon wild fancy's vaporings alone
Delusions unto which sick minds prone
AS fetichism first she claimed, through rite
Most barbarous, the blood, the woe, the blight
That could alone safe her fell appetite
Unto goblin god-snake deifed,
Were offerings made and babe and virgin died
So man could fall Reason turned shuddering thence
While he, deluded, clothed omnipotence
In fend's cruel wickedness and vice
And set He'll by the side of Paradise.
While human flesh he ate some crafty priest
Blest in his IDOLS that barbarous feast
Blood glutted every god of savagedom!
The Aztec, Mayax, negro, Greece and Rome,
Cold Scandinavia even strove to gain
Celestial aid through blood of victims slain.
In Carthage Syria, Cyprus, Crete and Tyre,
Men made their offspring pass to Baal through fire.
In Mekarth's, Moloch's brazen furnace toss'd
Writhed babes devoted to the holocaust.
At Ishtars shrine Religion aimed thrust
At woman-humblng virtue to the dust
And made faith cooperate with lust
In Israel she preached her evil laws,
Unleashed the fury of religious wars.
Midst murder rapine, cruelty and vice
She sang her lying song of Paradise.
