THE REAL INFIDELS.
By DR.. Frank Crane.

1t is curious how words take on by cus-
tom meanings that almost obscure their
original significance
Wheni-we say, infidel, We usually allude
to one who does not agree with the creed
Of whatever sect is dominant.
The root-meaning Of infidel, however.
is simply-unfaithful.
In this sense the infidel is truly the
worst kind of person in the world.
His is the one original sin out of which
all other sins grow.
It is unfaithfulness that kills love.
makes business impossible. destroys a
mans own character and irrftates every
body that has anything to do with him.
1t is the arch-crime Of the soul. With
out II, any other crime is only q human
weakness
without it any virtue is spoiled. A
beautiful woman is delight, but II she is
unfaithful she is a devil and does devil s
work. A brilliant genius. IL unfaithful.
Is social poison.
No matter now well your cook can pre-
pare a meal, or how clever your clerk is
at selling goods or how able Is your SEN
ator or how capable your school teacher.
or how adorable your wife, or how kind
and generous your husband, one and all.
if they are not to be depended upon, are
nuisances, trials and sometimes tragedies.
Fidelity is far from being q foolish con-
Sistency of opinion: 1t is better, 1t Is con-
sistency Of character. 1t is that in a

KANSAS CASE OCTOBER IA.
U. S. Supreme Court to Take Vi
Contest Over Electors.

In order that the Kansas fight over
presidential electors may be decided be-
fore election day, it is understood the
Supreme Court of the United States will
take up the case Immediately upon con-
vening October IA. Ordinarily the case
would not have a chance to be heard De-
fore 1915. but, owing to the fact that
election day is rapidly approaching, an
agreement has been reached to favor this
case.
The fight is between the Taft and
Roosevelt forces in the state of Kansas,
and has been through the Kansas courts,
where the decision was adverse to the
Taft forces. The main hope of the Taft
followers is to get the United States Su-
preme Court to reverse the state court
decisions The Taft forces claim in the
record just filed with the Supreme Court
that they have been fraudLlently de-
prived of rights guaranteed to them un-
der the fourteenth amendment to the Con-
stitutfon.
