THE BUNGL.ERs
-LnERMAN

A LDERMAN MALCOLM MACFAYDEN A chairman of the council committee on streets and sidewalks, is well known to be the trusted confidant and friend of the admin istration. The very keen pleasure he displays in the ideas that the people of the first district only are to have no improvements, undoubt- edly reflects the feeling of the administrations
 Aldermen MaeFayden says that the police and the lights in the first district only must be taken out, and at the very next meeting of the council.
 Nobody will claim the first district only is entitled to more than it pays for but it ought to be remembered that all of these benefits were thrust upon them, by She administration
 The schemes for first district only, aggrans dizement didn't begin there, but in the admins tration cabinet, which wanted money to spend. and reasons to justify taking money from the taxpayers.
 Therefore it was that tears flowed for the first district only until nothing but dollars moved faster, or in such floods
 But instead of feeling revengeful toward the people of the first district only, the admin Histraton ought to bewail it's own stupidity and tits inability to do things without bungling
 It is bad enough to be governed by a bunch of incorrigible bunglers. To be governed by disappointed and revengefu1 bunglers would be worse.

If you want to know where men stand In
tellectualy, in civilization and in deCency study
their religions.
Remember that ancient and earnest religious
teachers discussed the question, "Are the devils
made happy by tOrturing human sOuls?" and it
was sOlemnly decided, after proper debate, that
undoubtedly the devils had been permitted by
God to enjoy tOrturing souls, "else there would
be no more nducement for them to stay in
hell
Think of human beings looking upon God
in that way, imagining that He created devils

men be useful only in two ways-either
in doing something good or in being tortured
in such a way TO make their torment useful.
You shudder as you see this picture; what do
you think of your ancestors the Puritans who
actually believed that men and women in
Heaven would be made happier BY BEING
PERMITTED TO LOOK UPON THE TOR

when they shall look upon the damned and

Imagine that, if you can-the blessed the
good the kind hearted men and women, living
in Heaven, looking upon miserable human
beings-their own brothers and sisters, per-
haps-tOrmented by the devils in hell, and
then making Heaven ring with the praises od
Gods justice"
We shudder at the thought that the vilest
Monaghan savage can infIict upon his enemy
the horror, the suffering that we see in this
picture.
And we rejoice at the progress that has done
away with such torment in civilized lands.
Rejoice even more at the fact that the race
of human beings that once credited Divine
Omnipotence with crimes and atrocities worse
than those of the MOngOlans have learned to
take "A higher view of God.
The human race does progress year by year.
Only the vile, ignorant and brutal savages in the
darkest part of Mongolia are capable of infIct-

prisoners.
Only the vile, brutal, darkest part of the
human intellect is capable of attributing SINH

of such nOrrid cruelty.
But these are actual pictures of punishment
inflicted upon human beings in dungeon at
Urga in Mongolia.
The pictures were drawn by S. Begg, of the
illustrated London News, and show how hui
man beings are locked up alive in small
wooden collins and kept there until they die.
We print these pictures AS PROOF OF
PROGRESS.
And we describe TO you the horrible torment
inflicted on the miserable creatures locked up
in these boxes by the cruel MOngOlians not to
shock you, but to make you realize that the
world in which you live is getting better.
To-day you must go to Asia, among the
liercest most brutal savages, to find such tor

ourselves: rs it possible that even the lowest

Study these pictures, read brlef description
of the horror, and thank God and human prog

five or six dungeons. There are human beings
in those dungeons, and among them a number
of highly civilized Chinese, imprisoned for pO-
litcal Ofenses, who are shut up for the re-
mainder of their lives in heavy, irOn-bOund
collins, out of which they never, under any
condition or for any purpose, move. They can
not sit upright: they cannot lie down flat; and
they see daylight but for few minutes when
their food is thrust into their collins twice in
twenty four hours. The sight of the hopeless
misery Of these prisoners made il easy to un-
dersiand the light -heartedness with which three
MOngOl soldiers went to their execution a few
days later on. II may be added that the only
ventilation to the "coffins" is through the hole
in the side, and that these holes are just large
enough for a smaIlish Chinese head TO be put
through them, rather painfully and with diff

the filth from his torture coffin when he must.
And through the days and months, and, per

We repeat that in these pictures there is the

The coffin prison is found now only among
Asiatc savages.
In the time of Louis XI, the greatest king that
France had seen since Charlemagne, and one of
the greatest and most useful that France ever
knew, YOU COULD SEE SUCH TORTURE
AS THIS.
1t was a Christian bishop who invented for
Louis XI the prisoners cage in which the
prisoner could neither sit up nor lie down. And
it was the Christian King Louis XI. who locked
that same bishop in one of his own cages.

The Post Office Bill

Washington, Feb. 27.-Spirited de-
bate on the annual post office ap-
preparation bill, centering upon a
amendment to curtail the
postmaster generals authority lin the
administration of the parcel post serv-
ice, continued today in the senate.
Under the amendment, the post
master general would be prevented
from changing rates, weight limits
and zones, without first receiving the
authority of congress to do so.
Senator Bankhead, chairman of the
post office committee, said that if the
postoffice department officials were
permitted to continue, unrestrained,
changing and altering the regulations
governing the parcel post, it would
mean the death of the rural free de-
livery system.
