AY Sorts of Obini;,ns
wher. Christianity Negative. Itself.

Asked if christianity is christian the
answer furnished by leading religious
weekly is Eyes" and no" 1T is easy
enthusiastically to say Eyes" and at the
same time as positively to say mo-
declares The Christian Work and Evan
gelist. The arguments that support the
affirmative are naturally implicit in the
system of christian confession: but
some things exist in the world of reality
that negative the profession Of those
nations and individuals that bear the
christian name. These are summarized
by the journal here quoted. which looks
first al the great contradiction of ma
tions holding to mil!tarism on the one
hand while it processes meekness and
lowliness of spirit on the other. We
read:
els christianity christian? No. So
long as this horrible specter Of mill
tarism. with its emphasis upon iron in
stead of goodwill, upon force instead
of love, upon nationalism instead Of
human brotherhood, upon destruction
instead Of justice. overshadows all
sweeter, finer things. all science. cul-
ture and ideals, all happy. Joyous life,
in the christian countries Of the world,
laying intolerable burdens upon peoples
who have no enemies in the world,
keeping hatreds. strifes. and jealousies
alive, christianity is not christian.
Think of two so-called christian ma
tons, Great Britain and Germany. go
ing on today piling up huge warships
by the half dozen or more a year with
which to destroy each other. England
sick with poverty, paupers walking her
streets in swarns, and she spending
$250.000,Oo0 this year on armament! As
Mr.. Lloyd George said the other day,
taking 81 a week off every family's
wages to build implements OF mass
murder. What most impresses Jap
anese or Chinese in his tour thru chris
tian Europe as the most conspicuous
product OF our christianity? Big guns.
And ali this the church could stop inn
mediately were it christian"
Another negative to the christian
profession touches the hollowness of
the profession Of the brotherhood OF
man with even more OF irony than that
which affects the profession OF the
brotherhood OF nations. Thus:
els christianity chrictian? No. Not
while it sits supinely by in its great
wealth-for it has most Of the wealth
lets little children, because Of human
greed, be dwarfed and stunted in mines
and shops and factories. and let's little
boys shiver on the streets thru stormy
winter nights with papers or messages,
and lets thousands of little children go
underfed while one man pays 500, 900
for a dinner set to use In his vulgar
house three or four times year to en-
terrain already overfed people, and lets
thousands more die from tuberculosis
because they can get neither food nor
air nor light. All this while thousands
Of its professed followers squandor great
sums on eating and drinking and living
far, far beyond even EXTREMIST COM
fort, spending more on a ball or din
rer or sports than would suffice to run
business giving lucrative employment
for whole year. While christianity
permits this without crying shame thru
all the streets Of the land 1t Is not
christian"

LIABILITY AND COMPENSATION

tCedar Rapids Republican,.
This subject OF liabilities and COM
pensations is an important one in
America toda y and 1t is receiving wide
spread attention. There are two sides
to it. of course, but so far as the men
injured in employment are concerned.
they ought to be provided for in some
way. Accidents often happen which
are wholly due to the carelessness OF
the employee but carelessness also has
to he provided for and against. The fact
that the man was careless does not al
ter the other fact that he has needs
and must be provided with living.
Perha rs the best solution is Il COM
n,llscry insurance system. in which the
employees as well as the employers con-
tribute. 1t would not have to be very
burdensome TO provide. enuitahlS- for
all injured persons. or for the families
of those killed In employment II all
the moneys that are now spent for in
surance and for lawsuits could be in
some way diverted to the relief OF those
who have been injured the results
would count greatly for the betterment
of human conditions.

ALIEN vIOLAToR OF THE LAW.
In the good old town Of Milwaukee.
where 1000 saloons thrive. Albert Peter
Hopp. a saloon keeper and applicant
for citizenship, keeps his saloon open
In violation Of the state Sunday closing
act. For more than forty years the act
has been on the statute books, but
during all that time the saloons have
been kept open on the Sabbath day
without concealment or disguise. Pub
lie sentiment in Milwaukee favors this.
The question in Re Hopp, l79 Federal
Reporter, SCI, is whether, under these
circumstances. Hopp has behaved him
self as man Of good moral character,
essential under the naturalization act.
Judge Quarles, Of the United Sttaes
district court, holds that Hopp should
not be denied citizenship because he
has fall In with the general public SEN
timent of the community in which he
lives: 1t not being fair construction of
the naturalization act to require him to
by his behavior that his moral charac-
ter was above the level Of the average
citizen.
HOUSE MOVER.
Where house mover drives q stake
into the ground. whereby telephone
wires in conduit are damaged, such
act Is an unlawful trespass for which
the mover Is liable, irrespective Of
negligence, according TO the case OF
Frontier Telephone Company vs.. Hepp,
|121 New York Supplement. 400. 1t ap-
peared that defendant house mover was
ignorant that any conduits had been
laid in the street, and the plaintiff
telephone company knew defendant
was moving the house along the street,
but did not notify him OF the location
of IT'S conduits. The supreme court
holds that 1t was the duty of defend-
ant to fully inform himself as to what
lay below the street surface. and that
II he failed to do so he drove his stake
at his peril.

is practically a half century since
the Civil War. That Titanic strug-
gle decided, in the negative, the
right of a State or and group of
States to withdrawn from the Union.
The doctrine of the right of seces-
sion was shot and riddled to death,
and since Appamattox there has been
no threat or suggestion of a dissolu-
tion of the Union by any State or
any cabel or any coterie of indi-
viduals.
The stability of the Government
was sorely tested and never in all
human probability will it again be
subjected to so votal and supreme a
trial. 1t owes it's life to the patriot
ism and prowess of the Union vet
eran. He turned his back on home
an dloved ones and on all the bright
possibilities of the future to accept
from the Government the hard lot,
scanty clothing, course rations and
meagre pay of soldier in the field.
More, he incurred indescribable dan
gers, suffered untold hardships and
sustained physical injuries. Yes,
no one will suffer an objection to
increasing the pensions of the cor
poraPs guard, so to speak, of the
remnant of the silver-haired veter-
ans who fought and bled that this
nation should not be torn asunder.

TEACHERS, SALARIES.

In voting to increase the salaries of
pastors in Central Pennsylvania $10e
year and fixing as the minimum
salary 500 a year with house rent,
the United Evangelical Conference
at York established precedent
which should be followed by all de-
nominations.
The pay of clergymen, and especi-
ally of those who work in smaller
towns or rural localities-the very
points where the strongest and ablest
men are most needed-has long been
a reproach to the Church at large.
Every now and then we are called
upon to chronicle stories of ministers
who have been forced to resign or to
take up some secular employment as
side issue in order to support them
selves and their families. This is q
condition of affairs which should
never be allowed to exist. Churches
that cannot support pastors respect
ably are not entitled to pastors.
Preachers who are worth listening to
at all are worth a living wage.
The minimum established by the
York Conference is little enough, and
it is to be hoped that the United
Evangelical churches will be too con-
scientious to avail themselves of it.

WOMEN MORE VAIN
THAN VAINEST MAN.
Aryan Society Settles Question of
Long Standing-Other Features
of q Bright Programme.

Resolved, That women are more
vain of their personal appearance
than men," This was the question
which agitated the Aryan Society OF
the West Chester State Normal school
during it's period of debate on Sat-
urday evening.
Both sides were much in earnest
and both produced telling arguments,
which proved amusing as we'll as
convincing. Samuel X. Faust and
Paul S. Bingaman insisted that
feminine vanity surpasses that of
the masculine order. They gave per-
sonal experience to prove that a
young man must frequently wait an
hour or more in the parlor while the
girl upon whom he is calling COM
pletes her toilet. They instanced the
immense hat the extreme fashion in
skirts the elaborate hair dressing,
jewelry, etc.
Miss Helen NJ Morrison and Miss
Ruth Hallman in their spirited reply
wondered whether the young men
ever realized that the girls are not
always eager to see them. That they
sometimes purposely lengthen the
time of making the toilet in order
that the period during which the
caller must be entertained may be
shorter. In addition to this they
reminded the young men how neces-
sary they feel it to be that socks and
neckties shall match and how precise
the cut and fit of the shirt must be.
Some other amusing instances
were told to prove mans greater
vanity. The judges, Miss Adeline
Larzelere, Miss Ethel George and
Jacob Rhoades, decided that the
young men had produced the better
arguments and that instances of
women's vanity outnumbered those
of mems.
The sentiment of the house, how
ever, was with the maidens and the
vote which accorded greater vanity
to men was overwhelming.

Farmer Greasy" Called Of Meet
ing-Democrats Swinging In.
A news dispatch from Bloomsbury
has the following to say which will
be of interest to the people of this
county: "A significant move in State
politics was made when the meet
ing for the complete organization of
the Keystone party in Columbia
county, scheduled for Saturday was
called off indefinitely.
This is interpreted by some to
mean a change of program by the
Keystone party in the State, follow
ing the victory at Harrisburg for re-
form in the State Democracy.
Farmer Greasy, the backbone
of the Keystone party in Columbia
county and one of the leaders in the
State movement, called off Satur-
days meeting and it is announced
that with the promise of reform in
the State Democracy the purposes OF
the Keystone party are accomplished
in the ranks of the old party.
Should there be complete sur
render on the part of the Guffey fac
tion it is said the Keystone organi-
zation will be abandoned in the
county with the prophecy that a
similar course will be adopted
throughout the State"

THE INJURED FIREMAN.

We note that bill has been presented to
the Legislature providing that boroughs and
townships may compensate fremen Tor injuries
received at fires
We hope this bill goes through.
AS far as we it is a good bill and one
that has long been needed.
In a county which has a volunteer fire SER
vice, there ought to be some method of providing
for those who are incapactated through hghtlng
fires.
Volunteers risk life and limb in the fire depart
ment service and THEY ARE NOT PAID Tor the
risks they take. Sometimes they lose that life or
are seriously injured At present there is NO
way of taking care financially of their families
If they die or themselves if they live but render
ed unfit for active work through injuries received
in the service of the country.
This condition of affairs should not exist. AS
understand it the bill of Representative JACK
son will remedy the existing conditions and for
that reason hope the Legislature will see ht
to it.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and pro3cribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

THE NEW MAN.

With this issue of THE CITIZEN the paper
presents, for the approval of the public, new
in full charge of its affairs.
THE CITIZEN finds nothing extraordinary about
this man except that he is young toes in, wears
glasses, and, at present has but two ambitions
in life.
One of these he told confdentially con-
Germs a little girl he left behind in New York.
The other in which frank to state we
have vital interest, is to make THE ClTl-
ZEN the best paper in Wayne county.
That is all the information he has disclosed
to thus far-just those two ideas.
Alone and unaided, he says he can vouch for
the success of the first, and wish him all the
luck in the world AS to the second, the new
frankly asks the cooperation of the county
and hope and trust that he gets it.
Not being infallible the new man will make
mistakes, many of them; first, because he is a
new man and second, because, being young, all his
mistakes lie before him, whereas, we, being some
sixty-fve years old, have left most of our mistakes
behind u.s. We like to think at any rate.
OF course cannot hope that the new man
will please everybody He assures us, however,
that any and all suggestions from those whose
views differ somewhat from his own, will receive
a careful and courteous consideration, even
though such suggestions may not be adopted.
And as for those whom he has the good fortpne
to please, why everybody likes a little pat the
back once in a while, and even an editor is part
ly human-let him know just what has pleased
you and why. THE CITIZEN knows that it will
be fully appreciated.
For the rest we have found out that the new
man likes Honesdale and we hope that Honesdale
will like him.

There is a lot of joy in living,
If you strike the proper gait;
If you always come up smiling
In the face of every fate.
If you're keeping step and whistline
Some lively little tune,
You'll be living gay and happy
AS sunny day in June.
There is lots of joy in living
If you live life Alright;
Lots of sunshine and of roses,
Keep your eyes turned to the
light;
Look behind the clouds of trouble,
There's a silver lining there;
And you'll find it if you're only
Living life upon the square.
Scatter good cheer like the thistle
Scatter seed before the wind,
And the petty woes and troubles
Quickly will be left behind.
Be a booster" every minute,
Help along your fellow man,
And you'll surely be rewarded
Just keep doing all you can.
