Rouser for the Convention.

CINCINNATI, OHIO.-I am greatly in
terested in the New National Organiza-
ton of American Freethinkers, and hope
to be at the St. Louis Meeting. like the
prospect, since it seems to be starting off
without discordant voice, and good feel
ings prevail all around.
This is due, largely to the fact, that the
old elements Of contention are passive,
and not saying anything. I have been
keeping silent, because I think it best, at
this time, that I go away back yonder.
and sit down, and keep mum, and let new
blood and spirit be enforced into the
start. However, / want to be tackled on
to the tail end Of the membership, and be-
come a good hard worker in the ranks.
1 feel that l had my day at organiza-
ton, and certainly had all wanted How
ever, feel that the work I did, was worth
the while, and was not done in vain
When I got into the official swim, Free
thought Organization was not worthy of
the name,-inefficient impracticable, illit-
eral, boss-controlled, crooked, a mere pre-
tense and sham. Nothing less than war
in the ranks could put an end to the
bossism and corruptism that prevailed.
While this meant the death of Freethought
Organization for time, the war came,
and with the assistance of many able
Liberals all over the country, we went to
work, and completely demolished the old
gang machine. That was big undertake
ing for one man, and 1 have always re-
garded it as the best practical Freethought
stunt Of my career. 1t succeeded in
bringing on the calm which has followed,
and affords to the Liberals of today, the
opportunity to begin anew, free of the old
animosities and personal chickering's.
But must say, from a large experience,
that I am not as optimistic about Free
thought Organization, I do not believe
that any organization can be practically
effective, unless the money is raised to
establish permanent official headquarters.

and nothing else, and which is able to
keep interest aroused all over the country
by official field work
This cannot be done without sufficient
funds are raised to establish a lecturing
bureau, and putting six to ten men in
the field, and building up state organiza.
tions. 1t is a big task, and it remains
to be seen, just what the New Organiza-
ton will be able to do in this direction.
This much is in its favor-Liberals are
at peace with each other, and the drift
is all in one direction. 1 used to say that
religion always swept over the country in
waves, but no one even heard of a wave
of common sense sweeping over the
country. 1 am almost ready to take that
back, for it does seem that a small wave
of common sense is striking the average
mind.
Anyhow the church is in evident dis
tress, and everywhere the clergy is asking
"what is the matter?" At last they have
come to the realization that they are no
longer the shepherds of the word-no
longer men among sheep, but only men

and they realize its speed.
Now is the time for us to enthuse, to
weep and rejoice, and hasten the grand
work along. Never was a time so OPP
perfume as now No longer do we fear
to speak out and make ourselves known.
Everyone now has at last, a sneaking re-
spect for the Freethinker. Note how the
name of Paine is gradually getting into
the newspapers. See him loomin'. A
few weeks ago, the leading editorial Of
Cincinnati paper, in closing an article
on a government matter said, eff things
keeps going on in this way in this coun-
try, we will soon need another Thomas
Paine to write its constitution and direct
its liberties"
The liberal sentiment constantly voiced
by newspapers and magazines is doing
a big part of our work for us, but this is
no reason why we should be idle. Let
every one come to the front now, and shake
off this lethargy of years and go to work.
Make it your aim to get together and
build up state organizations. The national
body will probably be able to start two
men in the field at once. Gradually this
number should be greatly increased, and

EVOLUTION A COMPLETE ORGANIZER
Continued from Page 7.


ages of the past? In the absence of any
evidence of the existence of such process
we would classify such conjectures along
with the myths and fables that found lodg-
ment in the brains of ignorant men during
the infancy of the race. One might as well
deny the immutability of the laws of Math-
ematics as the laws of nature. Their de-
NAL would make all science farce and
invention a delusion.
That Evolution has the power of organ
ization is proved in the case OF the horse.
All scientists acknowledge that the proof
is conclusive that the horse has developed
from very small fve-toed animal which
has divided into different species, viz:
The horse, quagga, ass and zebra. His
hoof has been recognized and perfectly
adapted to his present use; this is also
the case with his teeth. 1t also shows us
that rudimentary organs are just what
they appear to be-remnants Of former or
gans. This being true we may lay down
the principle that Evolution is the great
organizer of the Universe. The case of the
camel and the ruminants also afford us evil
dence Of the above.
The fact that some animals may retro
grade or even remain practically stationary
in no way contradicts the above. But that
there has been more forward than back
ward movement is evident, or man would
never have been here
Exactly parallel with the evidence from
rudimentary organs is the evidence derived
from embryology, and it being true all
animal life began with the single cell.
