PURGING THE BIBLE.-I quote:
'tThe bible is the most obscene and
rotten book ever written and is unfit
for children to read until the polyg-
amy is taken out of the old tesla
ment and the wine and booze out of
the new testament" Thus the bible
would not be the most obscene and
rotten book if polygamy and wine
and booze, about SO pages in all, were
left out 1t would be fit for children
to read.
My humble regards to Mr.. Steven,
whose logic if of the sort as that of
religious philosophers.
Of course, Mr.. Steven means to
say: eff there were no booze in the
new testament there would be no sa-
looms, and Pennsylvania would not be
the most wicked state in the union.
Without polygamy and booze the
bible would be all right, children could
read it. There would be no war in
Europe perhaps. Crime would not fol-
low the church" Mr.. Steven would
be able to digest it
No, our dear brother, who believes
in a God-head of the universe and
plants our mothers therein as angels
just on account of their sex, does not
denounce the bible in toto. Please
don't mention first those so pages of
polygamy and booze, and the bible
will be o. KID by him, who otherwise
regards it the most obscene and rot
ten book ever written.
Mr.. Stevens religion is not founded
upon the bible. He simply believes
in Creator, an Architect of the Uni
verse, without the bible.
1t is true Mr.. Stevens is an individ-
ual and wants to be his own preacher
and doesn't want to carry his brother

THE SIXTH DISTRICT
McIvor Talks Politics at HoNe, View
ing the Situation.

Hoxie Kan, Sept. 1S.-Frank A
McIvor, for many years editor OF the
Hoxie Sentinel, and secretary OF the
Sixth district congressional committee,
takes execution to Fred Knapp's poi1t-
zeal statement on congressman mat
ters and says in a statement mere.
II have read in the Topeka papers

didacv of his townsman, r. M An

"Of course, Mr.. Knapp has the
right to do as he pleases in this mat

a little premature, if not forward, IN
advising Progressives to line up any

cerned, and l believe my position Will
be endorsed by every true Progressive
in the district, that is a matter for
the Republicans of the district to set

Should the Progressives fail to
nominate a candidate, the members of
that party should be left to support

FIGHT FOR MEAT
Packers Cite Ruling of John
Hay in Russ-Jap War.
Seek to Enlist Lansing Against
Prize Court Order.

Chicago, Sept, 1S.-According to c.
j. Faulkner, jr.. of counsel for Ar
mour & Co, the case of the steamer
Arabic which arose during the Russo
Japan war, will be called to the at
tention of the state department in
connection with the seizure of meat
cargoes by the British prize court.
Mr. Faulkner and Harry Veeder,
counsel for Swift & Co, expect to
leave Chicago for Washington on
Monday to enlist the assistance of the
government in the case.
In the case of the Arabic said
Faulkner, "a Russian prize court con-
demned a cargo which had been coll-
mated by much the same reason as
the British court in the present case,
namely, that the shipper should prove
tina: the consignment was destined to
an innocent purchaser.
john Hay, then secretary of state,
telegraphed to Robert Mccormick,
then ambassador to Russia, refusing
ground that it would be impossible for
the owners of the captured cargo to
prove that no part of it would come
to the hands of the enemy.
This principle continued MI.
Faulkner, "as laid down by Mr.. HAY,
was later accepted by the Russian
government
usually heavy shipments to neutral
countries after war was declared was
due to the fact that Germany rakeG
these countries dry Of foodstuffs, and
the neutralS had to repleniSh.
The meat cargoes declared forfeited
to the crown by the prize court were
valued at approximately s15,OOO,OO0.

WENT UP 3 FEET
Filler Kopseker Disappointed Fair
Thousands-MayF Fly Later.

William Kopseker, engaged by the

exhibition flights at the fair grounds
during the last week, came nearer
flying this morning than any time in
the last week. He got about three
feet off the ground. Members Of the
Fair association say that they believe
Kopseker is sincere in wanting TO give
his exhibitions and say that the To
pekar will lattempt tc get off the
ground at a later date. All week
there were thousands of visitors in
the city who were disappointed in not
seeing the number on the program
carried out.
KOpseker admitted this morning
that there was something wrong with
his machine. Said the Topekan:
Monday I did not attempt to fly on
account of the wind. Tuesday anC
Wednesday it was pouring down rain.
Thursday and Friday evening parts
of my machine broke"
Kopseker's failure to carry out his
part of the program-Whether or not
his fault-was a big disa ppointment

BLOW TO ARMAMENT CROWD"
Peace Advocate to Tell Daniels
of New Terror.
Mightiest DreadnOughts Puny
Before SPilI on Pole"

Detroit, Sept 1S.-Henry Ford has
a staggering blow fer the armament
crowd" stored up ready for delivery
when he holds conference with Sec
rotary OF the Navy Daniels in WASH
inston next week in connection with
the naval advisory board.
1T would be no trick at all to build
a submarine One-fourth OF the size ol
those now in use that could carry d
pill at the end of a pole with suffi-
cient explosive power to MOIST the
mightiest dreadnought ever built out
of the sea-I'm going TO tell secretary
Daniels when l see him, Mr.. orc
said today.
They'd Cost Less.
"And the best part of it is that
these new submarines would cost ohiy
a fraction of what the present ones
cost and only a fraction or one per
cent of what our latest dreadnouSnts
will cost.
That will be ? heartbreaker for the
armament people. for they are con-
stantly urging us to built battle shlPs
that cost more and more Dread
thoughts used to cost a few mlhon
dollars. In few years they advanced
to fifteen million dollars.
He'd Make Fish of Them.
Submarines equipped with gasoline
engines for their entire motive power
can be made to weigh a quarter OF
what the present ones do. They can
be made to be propelled and guided,
not only from side to side, but up ana
down in the water, entirely by their
own power. They can be made to
swim around with as much freedom OF
motion as a fish.
IF the public is sufficiently inter
ested in such a proposition, we might
arrange to give a demonstration OF
such a machine at some time in the
near future.
Let's Be First.
The submarines of which l speak
are coming as sure as fate if the ma
tions refuse to disarm. If we don't
make the new boats first, some other
country is going to. AS soon as one
nation has them perfected the other
nations are going to find out about
them and make them, too.
Il believe that the greatest agency
in bringing about peace is education,
but if the time ever comes when they
are needed, these submarines Will
themselves exert wonderful influence
in procuring disarmament
