RESTRICT MATRlMONI Is lax
SOLUTION BY PROFESSOR
New York, Oct. 21.-"Censor child
birth-restrict it just as the increase
of animals is restricted-and you will
have solved the problem of taxation.
Babies mean higher taxes"
The Mills legislative committee on
taxation was still gasping today with
this statement on its records.
you don't mean that, professor"
expostulated Sen. Boylan.
Certainly" returned Prof. Joseph
French Johnson, dean of the School
of Commerce, New York university,
and noted authority on economic
matters. 'Matrimony should be dis
couraged, not encouraged. The world
right now is producing bales faster
than it can produce raiment and food
for them. There, in that fact, you
have one of the basic causes for the
European war.
Before any man should be allowed
to become father he should be COM
PEELED to convince authorities that he
is able to support child. His fam
lily should be restricted to the size
of his income.
Instead of exempting the married
man, more or less, from taxation he
should be made to bear more of it
than the bachelor, who has given the
world nothing to be taxed for.
1--WE regulate the increase of our
pet cats and DOTS and let humans go
on multiplying as fas tas they de-
sire, whether economic conditions
are favorable or not. Regulate child
birth and you'll have barred one of
the principal causes of taxation trou-
ble."

II marrying is what causes Protestant
preachers to speculate, what is it that causes
Catholic priests to steal?
However, my primary object was to call
your attention to the misleading way Daddy
Noll quoted Scripture.
The very chapter from which he snatches
one verse, begins this way:
Now concerning the things whereof YOU
wrote unto me:
1t IS good for man not to touch wo-
man; nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let
crery man hare his oacm acife, and let every
woman have her own husband"
thousand years and more. after Paul
wrote those words, the Pope discovered that
he needed unmarried slaves in the priesthood
who would owe to him a blind and undivided
allegiance.
But the Popes knew their own natures and
took concublnes quite openly.
To compensate the priests for the lack of
wives. the converts were built and were filled
with handsome young women.
Every nun is a violation Of the scriptural
command which says she should have a hus-
band
Every priest is violation of the Scrip
tural command which says he should have his
own wife-not his ''housekeeper," not his
clustered nun, and not his Catholic neigh
boris wife, bit has oacn.
All Bible readers know how the New Tes-
lament enj oins it upon the elders or bishops,
to have one wife. and instructs said clergy
man how his wife should behave and how
his family should be controlled.
It is Paul who lays down this doctrine in
1st Timothy: Can any priest tell us why
Paul took pains to instruct priests about their
wives, if they were not to have any?
The orthodox belief is. that God was
speaking through Paul-using the great evan
gelist as a mouthpiece. Is it not irreverent,
even sacrilegious, to contend that God told
the priests how to manage their wives and
families, when He did not intend that they
should have wives and families?
I challenge Daddy N0W to ansuer!
Did Rev John Noll ever read what Paul
said in 1st Timothy, "?
Does this Indiana priest, know that Paul
said that ''forbidding to marry" is depar-
tire from the faith, a seducing spirit, and
doctrine Of the DepH?
Read up, Dad!
What are the things which Paul denounces
as doctrines of devils?
They are, (1) Speaking lies in hypocrisy';
(2) "Forbiddina to marry" and (3) com
handing to abstain from meats"

modified form
Reports from Washington have it that
many of those who opposed the bill when it
was before the last Congress will support
it this time, as they are now convinced that
such legislation will prove of great benefit
to the big shippers of the country-which
means that some of the big Trusts like the
Beef Trust want the measure put through.
With government insurance for the ship
owners who insured cotton at from two to
three times much as the producer got for
1t, and paid the ship owners the big price
when the cotton was sent to the bottom of
the ocean, why not furnish government
owned vessels for the Beef Trust, and all the
other Trusts that do not care to risk their
goods in foreign ships?

AN Example OF How the Devil
Can Quote Scripture.
NOT long ago, the Rev. Newton Dwight
Hills, of the Plymouth Church, Brook
Ign, found himself deeply involved in
business troubles, growing out of some specu-
latlve investments in Understands.
He had secured options on 5O0,OOO0O0 feet
OF timber, expecting prices to 90 up.
Instead, they went down in consequence of
the war, and DR.. Hills was financially
ruined.
The affair has made great noise and the
Romanlst male-vlrgins are using it as an argu-
ment against the marriage of clergymen
They say that DR.. Hills anxiety to pro-
vide for his family, led him astray.
They contend that if he had not had a
wife, he would not have speculated
The Sunday Visitor devotes much front
page space to the regrettable incident, and
quotes Scri pture as follows:
ZONE REASON WHY THE CLERGY SHOULD
NOT MARRY.
But 1 would have you without solicitude He
that is unmarried careth for the things that be-
long to the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
but he that is married careth for the things that
of the world how he may please his wife,
q Cor. VII, 32).
So far as [ can see, Dr. Hills did not steal
from anybody, and did not violate any law
His fault is, that he manifested an unhov
eagerness to get rich quick, and it is only just
to state, that he went before his congregation
and made contrite confession.
Daddy John Noll argues that Hills was
led into temptation, because, he had wife.
Well, then, what was the matter with Car
dinal Gibbons rector, Father Casper Elder?
The story as it appeared in the newspapers
was this:
PRIEST is SHORT SUM OF $15S, 900; FATHER
GILBERT SHOCKS ROMAN CATHOLICS
OF BALTIMORE.
Cardinal Gibbons Has Assumed the Burden of
Paying Father Elbert's Debts-Cardinal
Says Money Was Lost in Visionary
Ventures.
Baltimore, March 1.-THE revelations pub
iished today concerning the financial ventures of
Rev. Caspar P. Ebert, recently resigned from
the rectorship of st. GATHERINGS Roman Catholic
Church, has caused sensation in Catholic circles
Cardinal Gibbons has assumed the burden of pay
ing Father Elberts debts which, so far as dis
closed, amount to about $3.50, 600. exclusive of a
church debt of 1928, 900.
The obligations issued to banks and individuals
in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 and
We're all signed by Father Ebert as pastor of St.
GATHERINGS church. He had life insurance to
the extent of $4,000, but had borrowed heavily
his policies.
According to official statement from Card-
nal Gibbons, little of the money raised by Father
Elbert was used for church purposes.
Some of it went" he said, "to pay premiums
life and accident assurances. The balance went
into visionary financial schemes by which he
expects to realize large profits. There is no ind-
