Twenty miners were killed and 100

Carlisle mine of the New River Coal
company at Fayetteville, w. Va.
That so many men escaped after

that the cage and shaft were not
damaged. While many were brought
out by the cage, some managed to
climb out through the air shafts.

POLITICS AND RELIGION

Pull ICS AND REElGION.-PO-
litics should govern a country for the
good of the people and not for the
benefit of few and religion should
teach the people how to form gov

rot.
Politics and religion are identical
and should work together for the
good of the world and the people.

That means that religion and politics

the devil, the emperor of Limbo and
its vicinity.

against the foolish rot they carry

. RACE SUICIDE. - A reader asks
why Margaret Sanger is prosecuted
for disseminating knowledge in re-
gard to methods of limiting the popu-
lation.
1t seems with civilization comes a
diminished birth rate. This is the
experience of all nations. Whether
due to prof1igacy or a higher degree
of popular medical knowledge, l am
not prepared to say, as believe both
causes have operated in the past.
Now this thing has always given
statesmen and patriots great con-
Germ, due to fear of national degen-
Grafton or even obliteration. Hence
the laws on our statute books to pre-
vent spreading knowledge on this
subject 1t is much the same fear
that prompts the building Of more
warships, more forts, more guns, a
feeling that someone else is growing
stronger and faster than we are. 1t
dra-headed monster, competition.
To my mind the only thing that will
remove this as well as most other
'phobias" is an International Fedora

AS far as the International Fedora
ton is concerned, that was tenta-
