NEW SOCIETY IN PITTSBURG.

Through j. Atwood Culbertson, one of
the Blade contributors, plans are now being
formed for a new locA Freethought So
ciety, in Pittsburg, Some years ago
Pittsburg had a gooI strong Secular So
ciety, and it was one of the favorite stop
ping places of the Blades Editor when he
was on the lecture platform years ago. The
very first trip we undertook in America,
in 1891, Pittsburg was the first stopping
place on the list We are glad there is to
be an awakening. Mr.. Culberston now
writes:
81 would like to get in touch with some
of the Freethinkers in the Pittsburg dis
trict, and would be pleased to have you
mention the fact in the Blade. Phone me
during business hours Grant 2400-139;
evenings, Sewickley 9O66-J. After the St.
Louis convention I think we should be able
to get club started here. Or is there oneq
Have never heard Of one. Fraternally,

CHATTANOOGA, TENN am still
living in Chattanooga, and think all the
world Of your paper-the Blade. 1 think
you have some brilliant writers on your
staff. I am in full sympathy with your
plan of organization, and hope you will
meet with success in st. Louis on Nov. IA.
I am going to try to get your Editor, John
R. Charesworth, or somebody else, who is
a good Freethinker, to come here some
time in the future and give good lecture.
There are quite good many Freethinkers
in and around Chattanooga, although it is
chock-full of churches Of all denominations.

made.
The disposition given God by Is manu-
facturers is not lovable, and we have moth
ing else to go by. The God of the Scrip
lures makes a better target to throw ha-
tired at, than to pile love upon. All love
wasted upon God is at the expense of man.

ROME.

(By the Chaplain.)
Despised by honest men for crimes untold.
You still continue to enslave and hold
Within thy vice-like grip the minds of men
Who fear anathema of thy voice and pen.
Thy breath is noxious with the fumes from
hell
For thou art rotten, Rome, with fumes that
smell.
Of all the poisonous things on this great
earth
Twas viper, cobra seed that gave you
birth.

CONSTRUCTION FOR DESTRUCTION
(By John F. Clark

(By John F. Clark
A man there was and chose a mate;
A man and woman there was, elate,
He was strong as the sturdy tree
And, sweetly, she, the clinging vine,
Two voices as one; song flowing free
In melody, all divine.
She leaned upon his trustful care,
He loved her sweet mind, so rare.
Their loves, two tender rills, unite,
And to the gulf of Love do flow,
And all the singing birds inrite
And all their pipes to sweetly blow.
But Spite was out to spoil Loves plan,
God and deceitful angel clan
Death snatched the bride far away
And left an aching, aching heart
And God fell plight fell with full sway
Malice hurled the killing dart.
Neighbors said: essay: Gods will be
done;'"
"Not l." said the bereaved man.
"Be undone, if feeling Thou hast,
By miracle, or might or ban;
Undo, undo, this blighting blast!"
He asked for bread and got rock
As hard as any black DEVILS mock;
Then in him rose this thought sublime:
"You took from he and will not give
You have yours, and have mine;
Her memory will with me love-"
"You man your tens Of thousands STAY;
You may hurl the whole world away;
To me you never can gain say
Her tender words that FIJI mine ear,
No prank that you can ever play
Can change my love, nor make me fear.

ABOUT LOVING GOD.
God Manufacturers, as Rule, Do Not
Give Them Good Dispositions.
(By John f. Clarke

(Dy JOHN Cldrkt.J
We hear a great deal about reciprocal
amatory relations between God and Man.
Some fellows say they love God because
God loves them.
This is kind of close communism that
sports bug-house fancies. GOOD so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten
Son." etc. If He gave his son, the son
should be still given, but instead, they tell
us that it was a kind of April-fool gift
and God got the son back again.
He only loved the world enough to lend
his son three days for our salvation. Love
is a funny thing, and to say that one loves
is to give very little insight into thing.
God is another funny thing. No two
persons have exactly the same conception
of God To love something that has to be
conjured up before the minds eye is a
feat in love-matics that is beyond the pale
of sound sense. Crazy people love ideals
absolute ideals. Loving tangible things
is natural, but lavishing affection upon
suggestive shadows is foolish.
The capacity to love is limited, and the
fund of affection also, so that when man
draws heavily upon his store of love and
then throws it to the gods or the dogs, he
is short in his fraternal feelings with his
fellow man.
There is no use in wasting good love
upon a god, especially upon one that does
not exist in fact. Why impoverish ones
love capacity for god fad In fact, Fad
would have been as good a word to repre-
sent Pigment as God is
When one marries Christian, the fact
that the spouse loves God and Christ first
and the mate only in a secondary degree,
accounts for the failure Of the Christian
marriage.
The Christians assert that without God
there is no marriage, but facts show that
with God there is a good chance for di-
vorce The purported history of God as
related by the purported friends Of God,
does not fatter him. The ideal set forth
in sacred history is not calculated to charm
the critical reader. Except when baffled
by the iron chariots, God rode rough-shod
over men and women, who were as good as
Gods friends. He made war upon women
and children,-therefor he was no gentle
man. He must have been Neuter, for he
showed no sex any chivalry. He was 1T.
Hereafter 1 shall call God 1T.
The whole theme Of the Israeliteiss re-
ligion was Glove me, love my God" The
common paraphrase, Glove me, love my
dog" is more than synonymous. Man is
said to have been wonderfully and fear
fullv made - Int God seems not to have

IN MIDDLE WEST PHONE DEAL
Minority Stockholders Up In Arms
and Institute Injunction Pro-
ceedings To Maintain
independence.

St. Louis, Nov. ga determined
effort of minority stockholders of the
United States Telephone Company and
similar concerns in Toledo, Indianapo-
lis and Cleveland to prevent what they
believe to be an attempt by the
American Telegraph & Telephone COM
pany to gain control of these so-called
independent lines was presaged by an
announcement made here by Sam B.
Jeffries, an attorney.
According to Mr.. Jefries, the
American Telegraph & Telephone Com
pany probably has obtained control of
a majority of the shares of the other
corporations. But under voting trust
agreement, he says, the Independent
companies are prohibited from merg-
Ing with any other corporation, unless
80 per cent Of the holders of trust
certificates vote of the contrary.
The certificates are held by trust
companies of st. Louis and Cleveland
and these latter concerns have been
joined as defendants in Injunction
suits instituted by the minority stock
holders in the two cities. The object
of these suits is to prevent the dissolu.
tion of the trust agreement.
Mr.. Jeffries announced that he will
apply to the st. Louis circuit court
for the appointment of commits
sioner.

MILLION FOR PosToFF,cEs.
U. S. Treasury Inspector Tells Of New
Buildings for Minnesota.

Minneapolis. - "The United States
government has appropriated about
$1,000,00O for new postoffices in the
towns and cities of Minnesota" says
Major w. Haverstick, general inspec-
tor for the United States treasury de-
partment. Minneapolis will have a
fine new building here when the ar
chitects get the plans worked out.
Other Minnesota towns that will get
new buildings are Austin, Alexandria,
Brainerd, Crookston, Faribault, Moor
head, New Uln, Red Wing, Rochester,,
Virginia and Willmar."
Major Hayerstick is here to inspect
the federal building, but in concerned
only with the operation and equip
ment of the Offices.
Minneapolis is not getting a new
postOffice any sooner than it needs
one," he continued. "A tremendous
amount of work is required for the
construction of government build

TO PROBE STATE OFFICES.
Grand Jury Called to Investigate
Charges in North Dakota.

Bismarck, Nov. 26-Judge Winches.
ter of the Sixth judicial district, has
called special session of the grand
fury. to investigate charges made in
a report of the state examiner on con-
ditions in the offices Of the county
auditor and the county commissioners.
The session was called at the request
of Attorney General Miller, to whom
Governor Burke turned over the exam
iner's report for action.
The report shows that the commits
sioners have allowed unitemized and
unverified bills, have bought goods for
the county without advertising for
bids and have in several ways abused
their authority. The auditor has been
retaining the transfer fees paid into
his Offices and there are some war
rants that have been cashed for which
no receipts can be found, are some of
the allegations.
The report calls attention to careless
methods of the former treasurer and
commends the present incumbent for
the way he has kept the records.
