MARKET UNSETTLED At OPENING
Greatest Losses of Day Are incurred
by Hartman Group-First Decline
Gives Place to Some Firmness, But
Another Dip in Prices Soon Fol-
lows.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-With tho
return of Mr.. e. IA. Hartman and hi
positive ayowal that no immediate dis
tribution of melons" to holders u
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Sc
curities is contemplated. a change
seemed TO come over the spirit Of
Wall streets speculative dreams to-
day.
1t would be puerile TO deny that
many in the financial district were
prepared for other news than that
given out by the magnate. While his
buIiish views on the country and his
plans for new construction, develop
ment and expansion find "a hearty
echo in conservative quarters. there
is nevertheless keen disappointment
among the professional element that
the chief incentive for forcing the
Hartman stocks to higher prices has
gone, for time, at least. 1t elimi-
mates the most important fea-
lures which have accompanied,
when they have not actually propelled
the recent outbursts OF enthusiasm.
Quite as important as Mr.. Harri-
mans return to the scene of his
greatest activities is the victory gain
ed yesterday by the western railroads
over the interstate commerce COM
mission in the Missouri rate case.
From Pittsburg came advices of a
further resumption OF work at the
steel mills in Ohio, while large sales
OF pig iron at higher prices were re-
ported.
Opening sales of stocks reflected
nervous and unsettled conditions, the
greatest losses being incurred by the
Hartman group.
First declines gave place to some
tirmness before the end Of the first
hour only to be followed by another
dip which sent the list lower than be-
fore.
Towards the final hour a sudden
spurt brought substatial betterment
all around.

Detroit Takes Another.

DETROIT MICH, Aug. 25.-ln an
other see-saw contest Detroit took
the second game OF the Philadelphia
series by score of to 3. The win
ming run was made in Detroits haii
of the ninth after the visitors had
tied 1t up in the first section. Mo-
fiarty's single, Tom Jones inteld out
and Stanages line hit to center sent
in the deciding score. Plank was
steady throughout, while Donovan was
wild, but strong in pinches. None OF
the errors figured In any way In the
scoring.
Mack's men had the bases filled
with no one out in the first inning and
again one out in the fifth, but could
not count. Stanage's double led the
way to Detroits first tally and the two
of the eighth came on double by
Bush and singles by Cobb and Craw'
ford. Cobb running an extra base on

Reply to an Article In the Humanitarian
Review from the Pen of John
Maddox on Materiaist
Mental Attitudes.
Mental Attitudes.

(By j. Frantz, California State Secretary
and National Lecturer)
In answer to Mr.. John Maddox, | wish
to state that he too, like Prof. Jameson, is
somewhat mistaken in regard to the Mater
ialist Philosophy and the Materaist As
sociation especially, by considering it mar
row and unphilosophically dogmatical
He says: 1t is narrow because no one
is allowed to join the society unless he will
subscribe to the no-god-nor-future-life prop
osition." What does Mr.. Murdock expect
us to do? Accept any narrow creed or
dogma? Accept those who have not sense
enough to distinguish the difference be-
tween fact and a fable? Accept those
that are so ignorant that they still cling
On TO the same old superstitious, non
comprehensive myths which their unrea-
sonable, non-developed, poor, innocent
brain pictures before them! No, no, not
We We are a different class of men anu
women, although of the same kind of
material, but not of the same reasoning
faculties. What We want are those that
think our way, and as to those who think
otherwise, they have their own societies
and are at liberty to join any they see fit.
AS TO his assertion, THAT all the above
are Materalst although not being men,
Blue-grass blade., 1909-04-18

bers of the Materialist Association, is
concerned | wish to state that also in this
he is greatly mistaken. In this manner of
reasoning he may as well state that all
animals are Materialists. But he can still
go further than that, and assert that all
vegetables, in fact, all that is in existence
are Materialists, because it is all matter,
and it would therefore ba narrow-mind-
edness to not accept these as members OF
the Materiaists Association.
But here is where | want Mr.. Maddox
to do little reasoning,-make use of some
of his gray matter. On this point | want
him to give attention and allow his brain
a chance to develop.
No doubt, you are learned man to some
extent and probably studied many sciences.
Have you studied astronomy, geology,
chemistry, botany zoology, physiology,
natural history, etc? If you have, have
you ever stopped to think reason and use
your judgment about what you have read?
Have you considered these sciences as
coming from men who have labored all
their lives to bring the sciences up to the
standard of their greatness, considering
the age they have existed in? Or do you
consider those sciences as coming from
some unknown sources? And after study
ing all the above sciences. have you stud
led your natural surroundings in connec-
tion with them, etc? If so, then let me tell
you, Mr.. Maddox, that you are a Mater
ialist in the full sense of the word.
Blue-grass blade., 1909-04-18

any present existing being on this planet.
Materialists are men and women who think
and reason,-those Who are not afraid to
investigate. Materialist is the highest
order OF tne animal kingdom. In fact, the
highest Of ali the humanists in existence.
Materaist is he or she who reads,
thinks, observes, reasons, investigates ev-
cry side OF every question, extracts the
lest OF all great sciences by all the great
men and women; condenses them into ma
terial facts; then derives his knowledge
from them. A Materialist is he who OBJ
serves his natural surroundings and con-
creates perfection. A Materialist is he who
destroys the supernatural, imaginary
structures and instead builds solid foun-
dation upon solid grounds with solid con-
crete materials that will stand forever.
Such is Materialist to my understanding
and he who thinks otherwise is The oppo-
site OF Materialist
All that is in the Universe is NATTER
material and Materalist is the result of
all that is. To be a Materialist it requires
u good, developed brain, great intellectual
ity, pure system and healthy good ply
steal body. Yes, perfection to the highest
extent possible.
He further states: 1t is not division but
unity that is needed Well, well, this is
just what we want; We are after this unity
ourselves, but you afraid of a truth, tremb-
ling individuals, don't understand us. You
are still doubtful about the non-existence
of non-eXisting, incomprehensble myths;
you still cling on to the same old supersti-
tions and neurological, visionary charac-
ters, and then you accuse us Materialists
of being dogmatical and narrow How
do you expect us to accept you as a mem.
Der OF an organization of people with in
tellectuahty which you agnostics spirit
ualists, ETC.. cannot comprehend?
Yes, We want you all, but not in that state
OF mind. We want you TO come up to the
same standard of thought, understand all
there is TO be understood according to the
age Of knowledge we are existing in. Base
your theories upon facts; think your
thoughts logically; use plain common
sense; investigate every subject scientific
ally, and more than all, reason, reason and
reason; then you will be thorough Mater
ialists; then we will accept you as menl-
bers but not until then.
We know that you Rationalists differ but
we Materialists don't differ. fact cannot
be fable; fact remains fact; two AMI
two cannot make five; a truth cannot be
lie; god is not a thing; thing is not
god; death is not life; and life is not death,
something is not nothing, ETC.. etc.
He further saws that Harmony cannot
