BRITANNICA PREDICTS
BROADER MENTAL VIEW

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
In a former communication 1 pointed
out, on authority of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, article "CiVlliZation," that
our civilization has been, and is now
undergoing a Fundamental Intellectual
transformation or revolution as the re-
suit of certain great scientific discuv-
cries and the operation of scientific
knowledge. As indicating the nature
and extent of this transformation, per-
NIT me TO cite the following from the
same source;
1t is a transformation that is only
partially effected as yet, to be sure:
but it is rapidly making headway, and
when fully achieved it will represent,
probably, the most radical metamor-
phosis of mental view that has taken
place in the entire course of the his
toriCal period. The essence OF the new
view Is this, to recognize the univrr-
salty and mvariaLility of natural law;
stated otherwise, to understand that the
word supernatural" involves a con-
tradiCtlon of terms, and has, in fact,
10 meaning. Whoever has gvasDed the
fun import Of this Truth is privilcg ad
to sweep mental horizons wider by far
than ever opened TO the view or any

Why is it that so many people are in

reality they are fighting with medieval
enthusiasm to remain in darkness.
You are to be congratulated for open

people to express their honest convic-
tions. Religion is by far the most i'm

And it Is religion that governs our laws

will deny that religion has caused more
misery for mortal man than any other
one thing. And even today, reviewing z
pseudo iliZation, we see religion op-
pressing human beings all over the
world. We behold religion antagonizing
progress in it's every form, for progress
Is the natural enemy of superstition,
paganism, meaningless ritual, and idol
airy. Strip religion as 1t Is almost uni
versally praCtiCed Of the above cere-
monies, and what have We left? All re-
ligions tentatively teach love for our
fcllow-beingS, etc, but how many praC-
tice those teachings?
Christian denominations today are at
dagger's points, cOntending that their
own path is the only sure one to heaven.
In the face of these contentious, bad
blood, hatred, deadly prejudice, they
pretend to teach brotherhood of man.
How paradoXiCal and ridiculous!

himself and has the courage of his con-

A PLANT QUARANTINE.

A national quarantine in the interest Of the tree
and plant life of the country is of the provisions
incorporated into the Agricultural appropriation bill
this year and at last there to be hope that
it will meet with substantial favor.
The idea of excluding people who would other
wise infect our healthy population is not new, and
however veXatious the quarantine may be it has long
since been accepted as indispensable. And yet a
few human beings waiting down the bay" now and
then will solve the whole difficulty by any
The plant life Of the country is one of its most
important assets. How easily it may be threatened
with extinction in certain sections shown by the
excitement over the boil weevi, and yet this was
but one of the many parasites with which entomoo-
gists familiar 1t is safe to say that there is at
least for every plant and tree that grows The
chestnut trees are already being destroyed with a
rapidy which is appalling.
Parasites and diseases may reach this country by
means of imported nursery stock. The only thing
to prevent this at the present time is the vigilance
lessof the inspection by the authorities of
the various States. The Agricultural Department has
,avaed itself of these agencies to the best of its
ability, but it is a roundabout method, after all, and
it is hoped more direct instrument for the protec-
ton of plant life may be placed in the hands of the
Government by giving the Agricultural Department
the right to establish a rigid quarantine against
nursery stock anything else which may bring in
disease.
The chestnut trees have furnished US with a
warning. 1t should be needed before it is too late

THE DEADLY HAT PIN.

The deadly hat pin has been cassed and charac-
terized as it deserves by the Michigan legislature.
That body rushed through and gave immediate
effect to bill which prohibits ten-inch hat pins,
"slung-shots, razors, and other deadly weapons"
1t is impossible to say without reference to the
complete text of the bill, what element of the fa
cetous may be embodied in this bill, but the fact is
that it may we'll be taken in all seriousness. There
is some chance to get out of the reach Of ordinary
deadly weapons, and in the case of shooting irons
there is possibility that the cap may snap.
But the tennch hat pin is the most subtle of all
the weapons of the armory. 1t launts itself abroad
with apparent innocence and candor which would
deceive the very elect The victim scarcely realizes
that he has been wounded until he is on his way to
the eye-infrmary.
1t is about time to eliminate the element Of
pleasantly from the hat pin and to pass few more
laws, the Michigan legislature has done, with the
provision that the act shall have immediate effect.

HARD LABOR FOR SUFFRAGETTES.

The sentencing of ten militant suffragettes in
London to hard labor for the recent riotng marks
new departure in this sort of thing, because the
charge is of conspiracy to riot and destruc-
ton, which is rather serious affair
This seems to be good policy. Hard labor is the
best cure for destructiveness ever devised Ladies
reared in dleness and will find abundant oppor-
tunity for the exercise of their physical powers in
hard labor and will be Jess disposed to practice on
other peoples property after the experience.
This matter has passed the laughing stage When
S25,OOO worth of property is destroyed and cabinet
ministers are assaulted it is time to forget all the
natural lenences which are commonly supposed to
be due to women. If they so far forget themselves
that they take on the and habits of common
hooligans and worse, there is but one thing to do
namely mete out the punishment which such
behavior deserves.
Fortunately that sort of thing finds no encourage
ment on this side of the Atlantic. But it would not
take many examples to move lot of foolish young
women who imagine that they were very brave
instead of very silly to do things which would land
them in jail.
Let us hope American women will keep their
heads in this business.

THE MENACE OF THE COAL STRIKE.

II has been said that the world is less than
week from starvation, and the potentalites of the
worldwide coal strike have compelled keen realiZa-
ton that the margin of safety is certainly narrow.
AS always happens when somebody chucks
monkey wrench into the complicated mechanism of
modern industrial conditions, the embarrassments
incident to the strike have been felt in many places
that could not have been forecast Railroad trains
have been suspended of necessity shipping has been
tied to the docks of important ports quite obviously
But the realization that, when great railroad haulS
all its into terminals. there not miles enough
of tracks to accommodate nearly all of them; that
when the ships get congeSted in ports in great
bers there is not room for hem that when passengers
cannot travel with speed and certainty, the hotels
promptly suffer very heavy loss; that when the light
ing systems Of cities are compelled to operate on
short rations there is instant impetus to nighttime
crimnality-a these are secondary considerations
that would not occur to an average observer until
experience had developed them.
The world could get on for quite spell without
much British coal but with French and German
mines shutting off their supplies, and with the
American miners threatening tie-up and American
industry sezing every available pound of COAL then
matters suddenly reach a crisis. The whole world
must have fuel and power in order that the wheels
may turn and the terrific possibilities of a world
wide te-up in the mining industry, having once been
thus graphically suggested are not likely to be for
gotten by agtators and leaders of labor movements
The situation in Britain seems to warrant hope of
early settlement and settlement there will promote
the chance of settlement in the Continental mining
regions. Settlement is quite as infectious as the
strike was in the beginnings.

AMENDMENT TO LAW
TO -AX BACHELORS
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor or THE TIMES:
Every object has two sides. There is
now before the Massachusetts Legis-
lature a bill, with prospect OF favorable
action, to tax every bachelor over
thirty-fiVe years of age So, and, like
the prohibition and suffragette move
ments, promises to cover large sphere
in the near future. AS the tax thus
levied and to be collected is intended
for the support of spinsters, It may be
proper to consider some important
questions involved.
In the first place, IL the Government
COmpels men to marry up to, not more
than, thirty-fi|e years of age, the law
should be so enacted as to read:
Provided. however, that any citizen, upon
reaching the age of thrty-ive and as an
honorable. abiding citizen, prefers mar
riage to being punished by fine-or tax--the
Government pledges itself in all such cases
so furnish the head Of the family with suC-
fcient means for decent and respectable
support Of a family, including servant, au-
tomobile, etc. for wife and children
AS an opportunity offers to every in
dividual in this world, every spinster
her uEobjeCtionabe good character, and
that she is well posted in all duties OF
a good housewife. with reasons why no
man married or wanted her, before
granting her any of the benefits OF the
bachelor tax, and If bachelors say that
they don't want her and declare her
unit to be their wife she should be
taxed $40 year Cor one month in the
workhousc. annually, until fit to be
