OMAHA, Feb. z.--To the Editor OF The

ILLS and I am tempted to write a few
lines to show how even a man like DR..
Lyman Abbott has come forward bravely
TO tell us how not only times change,
but religion also. In his recent work
concerning his long life he says:
The candles and whale OF lamps of nv
childhood have been replaced. first by
Kerosene oil. then by gas, then by cleo
tricity-the discovery of germs as the
origin Of disease has created a new
theology have been revolutionized by the
doctrine OF evolution; the antiquity OF
man has been carried back thousands OF
years by scientific discovery; for the fall
OF man and his recovery has been sub
sututed the ascent OF man from q previ-
Gus animal order; for the conception of
as a father; for the conception of saliva

lost world. the conception Of the trans
tormation OF the world itself into a

shape of skepticism. but there is an
undercurrent OF pathos. the inevitable re-
suit of an earlier faith that has been
loved and lost" The fundamental
dogma OF the divinity of Christ was re-
jected with finality by the author and
like Renan he rejects Christianity for
modern science. For him Copernicus
annulled the Bible; Darwin undermined
revelation.

Popular Opinion on Preparedness.
ST. MARY. Neb., Feb. 19,-To the Ed
ttor OF The Bee: The daily papers are
publishing many speeches made arguing
the necessity OF preparedness. This does
not prove that the people IN general are
In favor OF H. From whom does this een-
timent springf From no one except the
rich that expect to profit by It. They
have the advantage OF the common peo-
pie. They have the financial means 10
get their views before the public II they
have not the Sbinty of oratory them
selves to get upon the platform and ex-
press their opinion. they hire some gifted
orator 70 DO II for them money talks.
And some orators have the abihty 20 ar
sue subject with an eloquence and ps.
thos that would bring tears to the eyes,
ana yet the subject may be bosh, and
their Arguments misleading.
I have made a conservative canvass OF
this locality. and find that at least 90 per
cent are unaiterabiy opposed to prepared
ness. and yet there Il not a one that has
the financial means or personal ability
70 express his opinion TO the contrary
The speeches made in favor OF II are pub
lished and read by many thousands. but
the opinion Of the many thousand are not
published. therefore, not read by any one.
II Is only through the courtesy OF an
occasional paper to which they may con-
tribute a letter and have IL published
that they can express their views before
the public at all.
fail to see the logic of this nation
carrying chip on its shoulder and
daring any one TO knock it of. They,
the rch, want war, and they want us
poor people to fight the battles. and then
want us TO pay the expense bill after It
Is over They are asking too much; we
protest. H SCHUMANN.

A Successful Negro Farmer.

The Times has found one man
who is not crying hard times, and
says there is no possible chance
for hard times to oyerlake him for
next year or so at least. This
man is Young Hall, a negro farm~
er who lives in Beat 5. Hall
says he has made bumper corn
crop aud has plenty Of corn, meat,
molssses, lard, chickens, eggs,
turkeys, milk, butter, etc., for his
own use and then some to sell.
He believes there is a bountiful
living in this county for every me-
gro farmer, provided they are
taught diversifcation and will
exercises the proper amount Of
thrift, regardless of the boil wee-
vii, and he thinks that those of his
race who are moving to Arkansas
and other sections to better their
conditions are making a mistake,
as they will succeed no better
there than they have here.

Denver.-An increase of so cents a
ton to farmers for sugar beets in all
the factory districts of the Great
Western Sugar Company was deter
mined upon by the board of directors
of the corporation. This will mean a
distribution of between 100000 and

board held its meeting in Denver.
The general prosperity of the business
was the reason assigned for the volun-

There will be thirteen sugar fac

now in the course of construction are
completed.
The raise in pay to the farmers will
apply in all the districts supplying
these factories. AS nine of the cor

farmers of this state will benefit
most by the increase. Two plants are
in Nebraska, one in Montana and one
