Whence. Who and What, is the Devil

Whence. Who and What, Is the Devils
Editor, Democrat:
Upon a careful examination, we find
| that the earliest and best derivations
of the above appellation and word, IS
from the Greek term, Diaholus and
also the Latin Diabolos, meaning a
slandered, or diabolical and in
Greek Scripture, it means the traduc-
er. or father OF lies sa-.4 ~ "a
To be pointed and practical the
question naturally arises, i'm the devil
either a person, @ place, thing or
even "a. god?: The truthful answer If
every school boy or girl, would be, he
is neither. To go-to another practical
question has the devil any actual ex-
i5tence, either in the world or the
world Of worlds? The same negative
answer must be given as above. His
only existence is in the imagination
Of man. If every man., woman and
child, On the face of the earth, should
every one, get good sober and no one
sick. and could all, at the exact hour
of eight O'Clock at night, go to sleep
and none wake, till six o'clock next
day, during all that ten hours, there
would not be q single sign or trace of
G living devil, on, or around this globe.
The truth of the matter then is, man
is the devil himself and is his own
father, for our Good Creator made no
devil. Many epithets have been ap-
piled to this imaginary evil one: such
as the devil, satan, the dragon, the
evil one, old nick, prince of darkness,
the adversary, arch fiend, the fallen
angel. the informal one, the tempter-
beelZebub, the strong one, the wicked
one, the enemy, the old serpent, the
.deceiver and scores of others but the
proper cognomen of each and every
one, that can be found. is man." YER
liable man, likewise, woman"
The notion of devil, originated from
heathendom and the dark ages,-Per-
sian, Syrian and Babylonian and it
will be noticed that Christ when he
spoke in the first person, had but lit
tie to say along this line, as it was
those who wrote OF HIM, who could
not rid themselves OF the expression.
The devil speaks often, but only
through the lips of men, and he has
spoken from the pulpit, but mar was
both devil and speaker.
The law of evil on the one hand, Is
the devil and the law of good on the
other, is God and neither r persons.
One exists throughout the habitablo
earth and the other from Everlasting
even unto Everlasting.
Very sincerely,
THOS. j. HICKMAN,

open court, but T believe that the al
dermen had best cut the number and
give the money saved to the advertise
ing fund in this the most critical pc
Rod OF it's history.
1t must be remembered that no ex.
ira burdens are imposed upon the po-
lice force. The city pays its street
overseer $500 per week: its cemetery
keeper $3.50 per week; its city physi-
clan $4,000 per month; it's attorney
500 per annum and extra fees for ex-
ira services; its mayor $40 per months
it's librarian $500 per mouth; its res
ervoir keeper $3.50 0 per month; its
fire department driver $500 pes
month; it's city clerk $500 per year
its business manager $500 per ana
mum; its city plumber $500 per an
mum, making a grand total OF $3.50 per
month on account of salaries, and
$5,400 per annum. The fines and for
FIXTURES realized for the fiscal year are
not available. but are nominal, show
ing the utter absurdity of employing
four policemen.
/ respectfully insist that If the G. H.
club utilize the services of the libra
rian and the board of aldermen will
appropriate the amount they can east
~ save by a reduction in the police
force and possibly other officials, and
employees, the club will have ample
funds to publish such a booklet as
will do credit to the city and put our
people in a position to realize on our
only asset-our grand and glorious
climate.

office until their successors are elected

No Paving Compulsory.
Instead of being compelled to pave
streets upon petition of abutting pro-
perry owners the board would have
authority to do so when within their
discretion they would see fit to do so.
A further change is asked for whereby
the question will be clear as to who

Could Own a Lighting System.
BY the amendments sought the city
would be authorized and empowered to
own, equip and operate its own street
car system and lighting and heating
systems but could make no expendi-
lures for the purchase or construction
of any such systems until approved by
the majority of the qualified voters at
a special election.
- Industrial Tax Emasculated.
The board recommended an indus
trial tax that entirely emasculated the

Tor the purpose OF advertising the city

club recommended that the levy be
made annually regardless of the dis
erection of the commissioners.
Manager Plan Discretionary.
Under the present charter it is man>
datory that a business manager be en-
ployed, the recommended changes
would leave such to the discretion of
the board, the appointment to be made
by the board. The salary of the man.
ager would not be less than $1,000 an
