CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE
A Disbelisver Cites Them Against q d
lief in Inspiration.

To tho Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Presbyterian Church In this
oity Is deeply shocked at the charges OF
heresy made against two of its ministers
Mr.. Howard. one Of the young men re-
was asked whether he believed Moses
really saw God on the, Mount. Mr.
Howard replied: "st. John says. NO
man hath seen God at any time ana I
believe that"
Now what want to know II this:
What right has Mr.. Howard. who no.
doubt believes in the divine inspiration
and infailibility OF the Bible. what right
has he to believe In one part and not
in another since the whole ID the inspired
word of God, and cannot therefore err?
A man cannot honestly believe In one
part of the Bible and not In another.
The moment he begins to doubt any part
of II he must reject II all He must
steadfastly ignore the fact that the Bible
IL In hundreds Of instances sef-contra-
dictory and inconsistent. II he does not
ignore this he cannot sincerely believe
in the Bible. and cannot therefore hon
0raDly ASSUME he p'Sos"S'
Regarding the question as to whether
Moses saw God or no. here are q few
of the inconsistencies Of tho Bible:
1. No man hath seen God at any time
(John l. Isl.
Q. Ye have neither heard. his voice. at
any time, nor seen his shape John v. 81.
8. And the Lord spake unto Moses face
to face. as q man speaketh unto his
friend EXODUS xxxiii. ID.
4. And He said. thou canst not see my
face: for there shall no man see me. and
live EXODUS xxxiii. M.
5. For have seen God face to face. and
my life Is preserved Genesis XXI, 90.

problem, Of course, is somewhat simplihed by the

A Tax on High Brow Words.

Mr.. Leonard Hatch, of Boston, offers the admins
traton a plan for "bolstering up the national ex-
chequer' by laying tax upon long words. We
have read his suggestion in The Century Maya
zine"-and we thoroughly approve. Mr.. Hatch
would impose light tax on words over three sylla-
bes necessary evilslike rats-but evils to be kept
Gas heterodorp spuriositv etc., and on words over
FIVE syllables (of which he hopes no one will de.
mand examples) a totally prohibitory tax. We sus-
pect that the sponsor for this scheme is interested
not only citizen anxious to escape higher rates
on his stocks and bonds, but as a man OF letters
interested in maintaining the purity-and simplicity
of this our language. Mr. Hatch is, moreover
something of philanthropst he would like to see
new jobs opened up for all the youngsters with a
modicum OF education whom the colleges will 40

The government would be forced to employ vast
corps of officials to enforce its excuses Some
would read indefatigably going through books and
newspapers as the custom house satrap to-day goes

national museum.
The tip is a good one. We have no reason to
suppose that Mr.. Hatch knows 1t, but in Rumania
a special tax is already levied on all advertising
and shop signs printed in foreign languages. That
opens up new vista of meritorious taxation. Why
not begin by taxing the French words our dinner

O|SCUS1ED, 7 MEMBERS QUIT
 STATE BOARD

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, Dec. HE. w. Me Corkle of Philadelphia and Conrad Elsken of Paris, incensed at the ac- tion of the four members of the state charities board Thursday afternoon in electing Dr. Frank B. Young su- perintendent of the state hospital for nervous diseases for four years, to. day resigned from the board.
 Governor Hays declined to accept the resignations. This is taken to in- dicate that changes may be made which will induce Messrs. McCorkle and Elsken to withdraw their resig- nations.
 The election of Dr. Young is re garded as an attempt upon the part of the majority of the board to fore stall the reinstatement of Dr. T. L. Greene. McCorkle and Elsken have consistently voted to sustain Dr Greene.
 Gen. Thomas Green of Pine Bluff, who made the charge that he was Of fered the position of superintendent of the Confederate home if he would vote against Dr. Greene, is also ex- pected to resign from the charities board, leaving the four members to bear the responsibility for their de- fiance of public sentiment in electing pr. Young for four years, in the face of the charges brought against them by Dr. Greene and before their an- swer 10 Governor Hays demand for an explanation had been made public.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-12-11

The election of Dr. Young yester- day came as surprise to all except those behind the movement. Dr, Young was acting superintendent at a salary of $500 per month. His sal ary beginning with his election yes terday, will be $5,O0O year, the sal ary paid Dr. Greene.
 Governor Hays said last night he had nothing to say of the action of the board, but he indicated that he would have something to say this morning. He said no resignations had been tendCred to him last night.
 Many feel that Governor Hays will demand the resignations of those members of the board responsible for the action yesterday and also of Sec retary Hart, who is charged by the minority of the board with having en- gineered the deal.
 That the hoard should await the publication of its statement explain ing the opposition which led to Dr. Greene's resignation, so that the pub. lic might have an opportunity to weigh the two statements before permanent superintendent was elect ed, was the almost universal opinion expressed by individuals acoainted with the controversy and the boards act.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-12-11

nor Hays this morning in order to be relieved of further responsibility on the board, where he is apparently in> . hopeless minority, it is believed he will resign today unless Governor Hays removes Secretary Hart and those members of the board who voted for Dr. Young's retention for the four year term. It is reported also that MT. Elskin will resign today.
 Wait until tomorrow" both mem bers said last night. You may de- pend upon it there will be some inter- esting developments then"
 General Thomas Green of Pine Bluff, the seventh member of the board, was not present when the vote was taken, having gone Wednesday night to McGehee on business. He said last night over the long distance telephone that he did not believe Dr. Young's election would be held legal
 Judge Love acted as chairman of the meeting which elected pr. Young Both Mr. McCorkle and MT. Elsken vote on the ground that the present board has no right to elect a superintendent for a term extending beyond April 1, 1915, and on the further ground that pr. Young al ready has been elected acting superin- tendent for a period which would end April, 1915. On that date the terms of all the members of the board ex- pire.
