ON IMMORTALITY
Prof. Beach Of State University and
Rev. J. c. Byrne.

n0Ss " ~ 0ysuos
"All the opinions, so far advanced
ly theologians and scientists in regard
to immortality, are absurd"
Thus declared Prof. Joseph Beach
Of the University of Minnesota to his
class in Nineteenth century literature,
says the Minneapolis Tribune. "Furth-
c1more.' he said. "the poets are the
only ones who are capable of advance
ing opinions in regard to a future life.
Personally l believe as Shelley does"
This reference was made to Shelley,
the anarchist and atheist.
These sentiments were expressed in
lecture on wordsworth DR..
Beach had been saying that the poets
adhered more strictly to the verities
than any other class of literary men.
Questioned further after class by a
reporter as to his belief in regard to
Immortality, DR.. Beach stated tina
cid not think there was any such thing
at least. as it is commonly pictured
by the clergy.
II believe in immortality Of the deed
hut I can scarcely reconcile myself to
belief in life after death when the
good will be rewarded. My concep-
ton is much higher, embodying /. per-
Ietuation of the deed and reward on
this earth. The orthodox creed has
cone incalculable harm in the past,
resulting in q belief in miracles and
the like. However, am not an atheist,

Revised Penal Code Restricts
ShiDment

Washington. Dec. 3.-Another
phrase In the great campaign against
liquor will come To the fore the first
OF next month, when the revised
penal code of the United States is TO
become effective. Many OF the
changes made In the penal laws by
the slXtieth congress were OF minor
interest, but the section relatins TO
the shipment OF Intoxicating liquors
into "dry" territory contained new
legislation, the result of which will
be TO make the United States factor
In p rosecuting vioaItors of the act.
Three sections OF the new codiflca-
tion relates to the liquor traffic.
The most important provisions is
that on and after January every
shipment OF intoxicating liquor
shall bear the name OF the consignee,
the nature Of the contents of the re-
ceptacle and the quantity continue
therein. IL is notorious fact, so
say persons who have had experience
in attempting to drive out "biind
tigers" that practically all the
liquor now shipped into prohibition
territory is labelled as some other
commodity or not labelled at all, and
frequently addressed TO persons other
than the consignee.
