Respectfully.

The above clipped from the Literary
Digest viii probably afford amusement
to three-fourths Of the readers there
OF. Another percentage will ridicule
such statements and experience. And
a Few, very small number will say
his experience Is real, and much men
tai and bodily truth could be avoided II
sincere conviction and adherence to the
faith Of divine healing was adopted by
the many. And this case offers as a
text many points Of observance The
one this scribe will use is that Of
tolerance for just such a belief as this,
and many other-non- sensical to US
forms OF religious beliefs and practices.
For after all it's matter of belief.
There's only one fact connected with
! the christian religion and that Is a man
called Jesus Christ lived on this earth
some hundreds Of years ago. All OF
the rest OF it is belief.
Its a historical fact such a man lived
but his sayings and his actions we
have many reports. Some, of course,
true and many false. He may have
performed all the miracles in the New
, Testament. Sure it is we have written
and now printed. reports OF many
other miracles, not included in the new
testament account 1t all depends on
how much you believe and what you
disbelieve. And so If we, the tolerant
world, allow you such a privilege, why
not extend it to this man that tried
the doctors thru Christian Science. and
finally found relief in divine healing"
Some one tells us We have now eighty
nine distinct forms Of religious belief
the world over Why claim on any pos
tive knowledge that eighty eight are
erroneous and one absolutely the only
true one. Equally intolerant is the
atheist oc !nadel who says the eighty
nine are all wrong and unworthy OF the
belief of a rational thinking being.
.
Not so long ago. the writer read of
an old man of SO, who "grieved him.
self to death" because his wife dying a
few months before che wanted to die
and meet her in the better land" And
who would take away from anyone such
a blessed and beautiful belief? Our
spiritualisic friends go even farther
and believe they hold communications
with the absent one in the silent land.
What good does it do me to try and
shatter and destroy such belief il they
get any happiness or comfort out of
It, Our Catholic friends have a purga-
tory and help on earth is necessary
sometimes for come to pass thru. Why
should we attack and attempt to de-
stroy such belief. What nice world
this would be to live in if we all were
really tolerant Of others'.eregious be-
liefs. n4

consensus of opinion seemed to be that
one team should represent both East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor. East Chi

the report
In adopting such a plan Indiana
would only be following the lead taken
by other states where similar conditions
prevail. Wisconsin has 427,00 acres
forest preserves. of which the state pur-
chased 100000 acres at an average price
OF IS an acre The forest preserves of
Pennsylvania cover 962.5s0 acres which
cost the state s224 an acre. New York
has acquired 1.e41.593 acres on which to
plant trees, having paid an average
price or SAP an acre for s50.S29 acres.
The state has laid foundation for
the work by establishing a preserve of
1000 acres in Clark county which Mr..
Deans report declares is the best de-
monstration of the growing of hard
woods in the United States
Extensive experiments are being car
riod on at the station to determine the
lrate of growth of various species OF
trees and TO estimate their value. In the
report is printed list of trees, together
with keys, which Will enable the land
owner to determine the composition OF
his woodlot, to determine what species

The principal argument advanced in
the report in favor OF such a plan is
that the state will never be reforested
by amy other means. There are thous-

Said to Have Controlled German
Foreign Policy

Badenweiler, Baden, Germany, Sept.
24.-Germany's most brilliant diplo-
mat Baron Adolph Marschall Won
Bieberstein died today after short
illness.
The baron, who had occupied the po-
sition of German ambassador in Lon
don only since May, this, year, had
water treatment and was in compare
lively Sgood health until a week ago.
Then he suddenly fell i'll and rapidly
grew worse until he died today. III ,
The baron had suffered from an at
tack Of influenza earlier in the year
and his death is attributed to after
effects of that malady and to his
strenuous work in London since his
appointment to the ambassy there,
The baron. who was native of Baden,
was 20 years of age when he died.
Baron MarsChall Won Bieberstein
was regarded as one of the most ac-
complished diplomats OF his time, and
since the death of Bismarck he had
been considered as Germany's strong
man." -
The baron, in fact, stepped into the
shoes of Bismarck when the latter
left Office in 1890. becoming on April
/, Of that year, secretary of state of
foreign affairs. During his term Of
once ne conducted negotiations Will
many foreign powers for commercial
treaties which have been in force ever
since, with some few notifications.
In 1894 he became Prussian minister
of state and three years later the en-
peror, recognizing his abilities as a
statesman, appointed him. ambassador
to Turkey. He remained at Constan-
tinople over fourteen years, but was
often called to Berlin to confer with
the emperor, not only in regard TO
Turkish affairs, but in connection with
German general foreign policy as well.
1t was often hinted that the baron
practically controlled the emperor's
foreign policy. He was strongly in
favor of the extension of Germany's
dominions in all parts of the world.
His views were so well liked at the
court that he was often mentioned for
the imperial ohaneellorship. ,.,,aa,
