The real battle of the human spe-

Our instinct to kill insects at sight
is perfectly sound. Out of the quarter
of a million species now known to sci

Whole tribes OF men have been swept
out of existence by the attack of in

This Protest Should Be Signe,
by All Lovers of Freedom

This protest is quite reasonable and
should be signed by every person who
values the reputation of our country
as a land of freedom.
1t is urged that it is not the belief
which is being legislated upon, but
the use of that belief as a means of
making money.
1t might be urged against any and
every creed, that it is used as a means
of livelihood by its leaders. The high
salaried clergymen and bishops, the
pomp and glory with which many
church dignitaries surround them
selves, the large prices demanded for
pews in fashionable churches do not
permit the Christian organizations of
our land to vaunt themselves as Who'll
ly outside the money side of the ques-
ton of religion.
We all live in a material age and We
all depend upon material means to eX-
ist
1t is quite right that the clergyman
who gives his time, thought and efforts
to helping his congregation spiritually,
should be paid a sufficient salary to
enable him to keep roof over his
head and garments upon his body.
