UNORTHODOX MINISTER
REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS
To the Editor of THE TINES.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Permit a brief reply to the criticism
OF my defense of the honest nonchurCh-
gOer.
My critic asks. Are the unorthodox
helping humanity?" L reply, the great
advocates of freedom, truth and Justice
nave generally been religiously and po-
htiCally unOrthodoX, etc Jones s,mer-
son, Theodore Parker, Jefferson, Lin
coin, Wendell Phillips, Susan b. An
thony and host of others.
AS TO there being few honest non
churChegoers, l retort it is difficult to
ascertain motives but that is reason
to believe that ChurCh-going is not al
ways pure motive. 1t is estimated
that a lali5e proportion of church. goers
are business and professional men,
social standing.
| admit that the church, consisting
wholly of sinners is not an unmitigatcd
good or evil, but while it loudly pro-
multaneously sanctioned the burning OF
innocent supposed witches and chat
tel slavery and by the most barbarous
methods put to death men who loved
truth rather than falsehOod.
My critic says "Creeds are man
made, though with divine material and
not everything in them is essential to
salvation" Puzzle, find the "divinc ma
tcrial,' and the part essential to man
welfare.
The unorthodoX do not go to Jnitar-
ian churches because the disgust en-
gendeIed by orthodox embitters them
against all religious institutions.
Becoming somewhat cynical, my crltlc
says: "A oneTman movement soon dies
out" Alas, mot soon enough: Chrls-
tianity is one-man movement ana Is
at last giving place to non-personal
universal religion.
AS to my critics question, what
would | really give that VIII turtlty
men in trouble, disease and death?' |
would have men unite to create soclai
conditions conducive to bodily mental
and moral health so that man, woman
and child might live natural natural and cody
have society provide kSce or meXpeR-
sivc health resorts and dispcnsarics and
thus in a practical way wrap around
| them the Everlasting arms of human
afrcCtion. In the last hour of life,
would give to every man the immortal
| blcsscdncss and Joy nieLllGd ~ q sense

A CHANCE FOR ONE SAVING.

- "More than $l5oOoo,oOo is spent annually in
trucking in New York." was the astounding state
rnent of the chairman of the New York State Food
Commission. Delivering supplies to markets, stores,
and people, he meant.
Everybody knows about six milk wagons coming
to six houses in row, every morning; later six
grocery wagons come to the same six houses, a
couple of express wagons and maybe dozen from
department and miscellaneous stores.
Systematized and cooperative delivery has
been successful in some small cities. 1t would re-
lieve the congestion of Streets save pavements, and
reduce the cost of supplies.
Is such system, adapted to great city, beyond
the ingenuity of this business generation?

Says IS Candidate to Suc-

Gilbert ]. Waller, an uld-line Demo
crat who has served the local ofgani-
zation as delegate to national con-
yentions and as national commit
teeman, is q candidate for Governor
Of Hawaii by appointment Of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson on assuming office.
This Mr.. Waller frankly admitted
to Star-Bulletfn reporter this morn
ing. Asked IL he was candidate for
the goyernorship, Mr.. Waller said:
Having been 50 persistently urged
by the representative members Of
the Democratic party to become q
candidate for Governor and being
willing to do my utmost to further the
interests of the party as expressed
by them ] have concluded to accept
the Office il rendered to me.
When my name was thrown on the
screen as that Of the next Governor
last night, as has been reported in
the morning paper, It was received
with enthusiasm by the large assem-
blage on the street"
One or two other names were men
toned to Mr.. Waller, as governorship
possibilities heard about in gossip
since the election, but he shook his
head and said in effect that he did
not think any Of them were in the
field for the prize.
Among other names banded about
in this connection is that of w. A.
Kinney, now living on an estate that
has fallen to him in Nova Scotia, but
Mr.. Kinney, In letter to Judge Ed
ings, has stated that in no circum-
stances would he seek the governor.
