must be listened to and considered,
for time at least.
But the years that have passed
since The Book appeared have dem
onstrated its independence, democ-
racy and humanity:

from to 20 per cent of the Grimm
ais, and our so-caIled Christian so
cieties furnish from 80 to 95 per cent
of the criminals, does it not seem
that there is something radically
wrong with the Christian religion?
We read sometimes of men and
women teaching boys or girls to be
come pickpockets or thieves. When
caught they are punished the same
as the thief, and so they should be.
That is good law. Would it not be
good law to make each Christian So
ciety accountable for the crimes
committed by the members of their
societies or organizations? Would
that not have a tendency of doing
away with making criminals? l
would be glad to hear from others on
the subject. n.

BOOSTING cIRcULATIoN.-

DOSO INV SINSOLH ISIN6- hC
Day Book has a number of CORE
spondents well worthy of a much
larger audience than is possible with
its present circulation. 1t should be
read by hundreds of thousands.
How. can this be done? By in
creasing the circulation, of course.
Yes, but how? This is exactly
what l wish to get at.
l would suggest that we set aside
the advocacy of our views on all
other matters for a few weeks, or I'M
til after Jan. Is next, and that the in
tervening time be utilized in sug-
costing plans for increasing the cir
culation of The Day Book.
At the end of that time all sug-
gestions or plans to be turned over
to the responsible management of
The Day Book for its consideration.
l feel that no further time should be
lost on this matter, as we are all
pretty we'll convinced by this time
that the publication and Cochran are
on the square.
When advocating support for The
Book in its early days we were some
times met with the reply: ooh, this
fellow is only looking for circula-
ton! When he gets this he'll do like
the rest and go to the other side"

ABOUT MIRACLES.

ABOUT MIRACLES. - There are
things l cannot believe. If you told
me you fell from the top of the Ma
sonic Temple and Lit on your valua-
BILE head, then walked away, would
say without doubt, "Mr Cochran,
l cannot tell lie, cannot swallow
that grain at time" l cannot be-
ieVe that any prophet ever went up
in pillar of fire. l cannot believe
in any of the miracles they claim
were enacted in the bible time and
then cannot be performed now, when
the world is worse l believe in a
God, believe there lived Christ and
that he was good and worked to in
duce all men to not love gold more
than their fellowman, to live and let
live or deal fair. Christ, like many
other good men, lost his life for
teaching the truth and trying to
bring the people out of darkness into
light, the same as some have lost
their lives working for the same
cause right now in our Dragged up
twentieth century. Let up, you siren
uous mankillers, and let the world
grow civilized.-Frank Smith.
