and it takes more to satisfy him. Art,
literature. science, the stage, travel,
music, spacious boulevards, parks, IL
braries; all these are necessaries to-
day, whereas at one time they were
considered luxuries. 1t Is not only
the tariff. the trusts, the supply of
gold or higher wages which should
be held responsible for the increase
in the cost of living. We ourselves
have gone up in value. Men and wo-
men are worth more today, and there
fore it takes more to make them con-
tented.
'But it is my purpose to show that
very large portion Of our earnings
annually goes to waste. The most ex-
pensive item in our national budget
is that of superstition, notwith-
standing that we are living in the full
blaze of science. What do mean by
superstition? Fear. Two of our
most expensive fears are the fear Of
war, which is taxing the nations of
the world to the verge of bankrupt
tcy, and the fear of hell
The real cost Of superstition is
not in the wealth it wastes. but in the
wealth it prevents. Just as a man
who holds land out of cultivation, the
creeds keep the minds of nearly a
! thousand millions of people intellec-
| tually inactive. That is to say, un-
productive. The telephone, the tele-
graph, the mariners compass, the
wireless, electricity, steam, the print
| ing press, all of which have produced
untold wealth, would have been dis
covered 1000 years earlier but for
the fear of the devil.
Mind is Kingdom.
| Think of the wealth, the progress,
| light which fear has deprived us of!
1t is perfectly staggering. Instead of
one Gallileo with his lenses there
might have been a hundred had not
the one Gallileo been clapped into a
dungeon. How many geniuses has that
dungeon of Gallileo destroyed? In
stead of one Roger Bacon with his
experiments in chemistry and physics
there might have been a hundred had
he not fallen a victim to the clamoI
of the superstitious. Instead OF
one Servetus, specializing about the
circulation of the blood and the hu-
man anatomy. there might have beer
a hundred scholars inventing pre-
lventatives against the diseases which
have decimated our ranks through
the centuries. How much more ad-
vanced the world would have been to-
day had not our religious teachers
of yesterday preferred disease tC
hersey.
'The best way to meet the problem
of high cost of living is not by cheap
ening the products of farm ana store
or by lowering wages and rents, MOI
by suppressing individual initiative
and turning everything over to the
politicians, but by increasing the pro.
ductivity of the mind. My mind tc

Chicago.-"The High Cost of Lv-

given before the Independent Religi-
Gus society in the Studebaker theater
by M. NJ. Mangasarian, who spoke in
part as follows:
''The last Thursday in November Is
chosen for Thanksgiving day because
by that time all the crops will have
been harvested. AS the day is OBJ
served every year, 1t would follow
that the abundance or the scarcity of
the crops have nothing to do with its
celebration. We are asked, to give
thanks on lean years as well as on
fat years. Both the president and
the governors invite the nation to
present their thanks to Almighty God
for the abundant harvests. But IL the
Deity is to be given credit for the
big crops, who is to be blamed when
the crops are ruined by storms, the
drought or the flood?

Judge OF Marion county, subject to the
democratic primary to be held on the

active canvass of the county, I shall
content myself with placing my name
before the people as best l can. I have
no influential or wealthy friends or
relatives on whom to rely for support
in furthering my candidacy, but rely
entirely on the wishes OF the people as
expressed at the polls, should they see
fit to honor me with the office, I shall
endeavor to fully compensate by faith
full attention to the duties Of the Of
fee, should they see At to refuse me
the office, / shall accept their choice
without criticism. as my struggles and
disappointments in life have been too
many to allow it to deter me in my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. I am not a polite
ian within the meaning OF one con-
stantly seeking an office, and am now
asking for office only for the reason
that I feel capable of filling 1t to the
satisfaction of all. and that 1t will ma
terially aid me in many ways in my
profession.
I assure those who see fit to support
me Of my sincere appreciation.
