We no longer accept the doctrine
that our natures are rooted In infamS
and that the desires of the flesh are
cunning traps set by Satan, with Gods
that no one can harm us but oursel-
yes. that no sin is misdirected energy,
and that there is no devil TO fear.
and that the universe Is planned for
good On every side we find beauty
and excellence held IN the balance OF
blessing, that winter is as necessary as
summer, that night Is as useful as
day, that death is manifestation
of life and just as good. We believe
in the Now and Here. We believe In
You, and we believe in a Power that is
ness.
These things have not been taught
US by the rich---a superior class who
governed us and to whom we paiu
taxes and tithes-we have simply
thought things out for ourselves. and
We have listened to Coleridge. En-
erson, Brisbane. Charles Ferguson and
others. who said: You should use
your reason and separate the good
from the bad, the false from the true.
the useless from the useful. Be your
self and think for yourself. and while
your conclusions may not be infallibe

Scores soft Coal ON pennsy.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Would it be possible to learn
through our valuable paper why ii is
the Pennsylvania railroad Zone of the
wealthiest in the country burns soft
coal, to the discomfort Of it's many
patrons. In every other instance the
Pennsylvania excels along the lines Of
comfort and convenience for it's pa
irons, but in this n instance it GER
tainly loses all it gains along other
lines.
Commuters who use the Pennsylvania
exclusively for the excellent service It
renders are becoming wearied of having
their clothes ruined by the dirty soft
coal debris which floats in the windows
during their trip to and from their
home stations. Is there not some way
one could appeal to the officials Of the
road which would have some effect?

Art and Science Institutes worI

Art and Science Institutes work.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Because tie old university courses OF
lectures were not as successful as the
Newark men interested in them
pected, the Newark Institute of Arts
and Sciences was organized by them
last spring to give more courses oil
lectures, to enable young men who can
not go to a college or university to get
a higher education, and give
in our public schools and young women
who want to be teachers
and instruction In methods of teaching
and managing children.
DR.. Addison B. Poland. superintendent
of Newark public schools, his two as
sistant superintendents and other edu-
Gators are interested In the institutes
work, and a certificate issued to young
women by the institute will be accepted
by the Board of Examiners for the
Newark schools. which will help those
who want to be teachers. Most OF the
lectures will be given by professors or
the New York University, but educa-
tors in the Barringer High Schooi Will
also lecture.
Clerks for business firms. for bank
and insurance companies, railroad com
panies and corporations, will be given
in the lecture courses practical instruc-
ton that will be of great benefit to
them. Practical instruction will also
be given on other lines. Young men OF
Newark and vicinity who want to sue
coed in business ought to take the
courses. for the charge is not large.
The series of lectures will be continued
for thirty weeks. Some lectures Will
be given in the afternoon and others
at night. It is hoped that many New
ark people Will register for the courses
before the institute starts its work on
October 3.

A Rooseveltinn Method.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l am surprised to find that none OF
the newspapers appear to have COM
mented on the similarity of methods
between the Western crank who inter-
rupted Roosevelt at a recent meeting
n the doughty %colonel's own we'll
tried SYSTEM.
The crank first insinuated improper
purposes and corrupt backing by in
curing who was putting up the money
for Mr.. Roosevelt's trip. This is the
colonel all over, and it must have been
sympathy for a kindred soul that made
him meekly reply that the outlook was
supplying the funds (and doubtless
cheerfully charging them Off to ad-
v~ertising).
The crank's answer was characters
tioally R~ooseveltian You lie!'' No
argument, no proof, simply an insult,
to which only one answer is possible.
