IAE AGE OF REASON.

This Is the age of reason. 1t is also
the beginning of the golden era of
mercy. Enlightened and intelligent
humanity questions every cause, ana
Lies every effect. II also challenges
every act of brutality and cruelty.
MANS inhumanity to man" still
makes countless thousands mourn, but
everywhere there are thinkers who are
striving to make the world understand
the fact that kindness is the greatest
good" that every gate that bars to
hate will open wide to love-"
"Why, then" they ask, encourage
the propagation of the negative quail
ties, when the positive qualities only
can assure good results? Why appeal
TO the lowest, instead of the highest
motive TO which men will respond?"
Why chain a prisoner, for instance
instead of applying the wholesome
laws of psychology and placing him
upon honor TO obey the rules of prison
life and manfully pay his debt to so
ciety? Why destroy the last vestig'
of his self.respect and transform hin
into a dangerous, vengeful brute?
Chains have been abolished In al
the penal institutions which have en-
lightened management. The straight
jacket and the whipplng-post ar
among the horrors of the past.
Warden Dickerson of the State pen
itentiary is now under fire" becaust
he allows convict, who was sen
fenced for murder, to have the bene
fits of the enlightened honor system
The unfortunate man is allowed t
work outside of the prison walls, with
out chains--thats all. A great howl o
protest is emitted by two or thre
small papers of the state.
It is evident that Warden Dicnerso
is trying to apply the great natura
commemorative laws which hav
brought such fine results in othC
modern prisons.

punished. but to be reformed The

WHAT'S WRONG IN GOTHAM

What's wrong in New York? Why
the infantile paralysis epidemic? Bad
air, bad milk, overcrowding, poverty,
dirt, ignorance, heat. vice, fear-and
the last is not least-all combine to
kill the city baby.
The brunt of the city's sanitary sins
are now focused on the baby. 1t Is an
unspeakable outrage. 1t is grim In
dictment of our boosted culture" 1t
is crying shame that these eondi-
tons exist in Americas largest and
richest city; that the retributive filth
diseases should be allowed to spread
TO OTHER unsanitary places throughout
the country.
Let's quit talking about squalor and
Indebtedness in Mexico and focus at
tention upon our own big towns-our
/ centers of woe and loathsome poverty,
our breeding places of vice and crime.
There ought to be, today. nation
wide movement for the protection OF
child life. the conservation of babies.
! Millions of public money are expended
on the protection and improvement of
( four.hoofed critters. and only small
sum comparatively for human beings.
J The time has come for an evening up
5 of this outlay. with the heavy end on
/ the side of humanity.
The baby didn't ask to come, to live
in hot. dark, alright tenement, to
be fed on dirty, half-spoiled milk, tc
be pestered with flies and mosquitoes
The baby Is not responsible for these
conditions, BUT WE ARE. It is bis

, start in life.

LITTLE PlNkEY
PERSISTS IN LYING.

OF all the envious, evItminded, mali.
cious little liars that we have ever en-,
countered. the little codger who runs
the Free Press takes the persImmon.
When he stated yesterday that one
of the editors OF the Independent was
registered as Republican, he knew
that he was telling bald-faced false
hood.
The senior member OF the Indepen-
dent firm is, and always has been, a
consistent Democrat. The junior
member OF the firm did not authorize
registry agent II. U. Castle to register
him, and had no knowledge of the fact
that his name had been placed on the
registry books. From frequent con-
versations with Mr.. Castle, however.
the latter well knows that both of the
members OF the firm are unequivocal
supporters of President Wilson.
We have Mr.. Castles word that the
Free Press editor was informed yes
terday before he went to press, of the
facts in the matter. There is a lie out,
and between the two we do not hest
tate to accept Mr.. Castles statement.
Other statements in yesterdays Free
Press are so thoroughly ridiculous that
they warrant only silent contempt.
Every word exudes malice and envy,
and the public viii take them for what
they are worth.
The statements regarding Mr.. Col
vert, who was formerly connected with
both the Free Press and Independent,
are thoroughly malicious, and Mr.. Col
vert states that he intends TO call the
Free Press editor to account in way
provided by the criminal laws
which will teach him that freedom of
the press does not mean license to
publish malicious falsehoods.

The life of the United States soldier on the
Mexican border is, as the phrase goes just one
thing after another. Day and night, both morn
and even, the ratlesnakes bite and the mosquitoes
sting, and now the Baptsts are after the militia
man S soul.
Rattlesnalzes, Mosquitoes, and Baptists-
three pests of the camp
Clarifying Funston and his order, the Ro-
manist editor says
Nor would he, in the interests of military dis
cpline, permit any righteous orgies such as a re-
Viyai or two.
In the eyes of a priest, Protestant revivals
are orgies, to be scorned, ridiculed, and
Forbidden by the military.
The papist editor continues
and one that must meet with the approval of every
person who has the least glimmerings of religious
federation.
Here is the same old papal idea of "reli-
glous toleration:' Funston must encourage
this bread and-Wlne God, but must not allow
Methodist or a Baptist. or PRESBYTERIAN.
of Disciple to conduct a revival.
Yet it seems to me that the New Tesla
ment does not give the odious name of "or-
gies" to revivals, the first of which was on the
day of Pentecost.
The word orgy was originally given to
the secret and immoral reveries of organism:
as we now have no paganism excepting that
of the Roman Catholic church, the word
"orgy'' is applied to prolonged drunkenness
and debauchery
That a Southern priest-edtor should brand
a Protestant revival with that shameful word,
is another evidence of their increasing AFRO
gance.
They have organized to unite their 100000
votes for political CONTROL they have intro
duced bills into Congress to shut all Protest
ant literature from the mails; they have
thrown anti Romanist books out of the pub

ship over Moving Pictures, over theatricals,
over daily papers and magazines; they are
proselytig in our schools by means of the
Catholic teachers and the Gary system; and
now they have, IN practice, a censorship over
religious exercise in the Army and Navy!
They can freely celebrate all of their idol
worshipping ceremonial, without ridicule or
hindrance; but a Protestant must not attempt
revival, because it excites the soldiers and
because it is an "orgy" similar to the ancient
bacchanalian festivals, and similar to
modern drunken debauch!
