jects the use of convict labor I'm the
grinding of lime for the use of farm
ers in building up the soil of the
State, it looked doubtful for Il time
yesterday that any lime bill legtsla-

However. after the adjournment of
the House last evening. the friends
or the movement got together and
agreed to support tho Senate lime
bill. with some of the features of
the House bill offered us amendments
thereto. These amendments will be
offered early in the session today
by Mr.. Throckmorton, of fIenrico.
There arc several radical differ
ences In the two measures. The
House bill provides that the work

general supervision of the Highway
Commissioner. under a board COM
posed of the Governor, who Is to be

is composed of the penitentiary

The House bill sets certain stand

respect.
There is general demand on the
part of the farmers OF the State for

:. The political struggle In the United
States this year will be fiercerf and at
the same time more mixed than in
any campaign since the memorable
one In 1860, which was followed by
the great Civil War. The two old
parties are now afield with prasdden-

stronger position than in former ma
tional campaigns because Of successes
in last years State elections and the
Progressive Republicans will soon
nominate Roosevelt on a Roosevelt
platform. 1t Is by no means improb-
able that yet another new parry or.
gamizatian will be formed to Further
diversity the national contest But
the great battle will be ,waged be-
tween the conservative and the pro-
glressive forces of the country, and
the clash Of the conflict will be heard
IN every corner of the land. There

The ABOLITION OF HE'LL FIRE
washington HeraId)


The action Of the Internationa
B1Dle, Students Association, now in
session In this city with several
thousand delegates present, in I'M
anlmously rejecting the doctrine Of
hell fire, marks a decided advance in
religious sentiment. Our forefathers
believed in literal burning pit,
where the wicked suffered endless
torture from excessive heat. The
location of this fiery furnace was
unknown and somewhat mysterious,
but none the less it's existence was
accepted as reality.
With the growth Of human know
ledge the belief in this place or
physical torture has steadily de-
clined. 1t has come to be regarded
as myth, exactly as it is now
known that the earth was not Great
ed IN seven, days. There may be, Of
course future punishment for the
sinful, Just as there would seem to
be reward for life we'll spent. To
believe in this is simply to recognize
the universal law Of COMPENSATION.
1t was Emerson, we believe, who
said that the wings of God we're
black and white; and while Elmer,
son Wos not a prophet nor the son
OF prophet, he stated in epigram-
matte fashion a truth which is en-
phasized in daily life.
The theories which have been ad-
Vanced as to the character Of this
future reward or punishment arc
many and interesting. All, however,
are purely speculative. No human be-
Ing has ever returned, or will ever
return, from the undiscovered
bourne to testify as to the life here
after. The suggestion OF a literal
hell, with big and little devils en-
gagged throughout eternity In stok-
Ing multitudinous furnaces in Droer'
that condemned souls may suffer
scorching heat, is so reDugnant to
an enlightened sense, is such a
strain upon intelligence, that it is
no wonder that it excites skepticism
rather than fear.
And this is the very logical reason
why the Bible Students Association
casts the belief in hell fire into the
limbo Of the past.
