All We Need Is More Money,

Omaha, Aug. Ito the Editor
of The Bee: , An unfortunate result
of the world war is that certain in
dividuals, including banks and cor
porations. are making a business Of
playing the game Of Shylock in en-
acting the last penny from those who
are in need of ready cash, through
their nefarious dealings in Liberty
bonds and certificates Of indebted
ness Of the Uniter States. thus fore
ing those who gave their money to
their government in time of war to
sell these securities far below par on
mark ct established by these
money lenders.
1t Is scheme and, in my opinion
a crime nothing short of treason that
any individual. bank or corporation
would seek to make a profit in the
dealing with the securities of the
United States government by such
dealings as buying below the par
value a security which has cost the
purchaser 100 cents on the dollar,
only to find now that the sacrifices
the people have made are to be
turned to a profit for the benefit of
the shylock dealers.
In order that this practice may
be prevented in the future, Congress
man Herrick of Oklahoma has in
troduced a bill in congress, which
would penalize the sale Of bonds be-
low par up to $4,000 for each Of
fense. 1t provides that any holder
of a Liberty bond or certificate of
Indebtedness of the United States
shall be given United States circulat-
ing notes for the full face value
whenever he presents them to the
treasury.
1t is to be hoped that the people
of the United States will give this
bill their support and that it will be
passed in congress, for it is the first

Price of Religion.


Burlington, Ia, Aug. 16.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The reference
to letter of Bishop Stuntz to the min
listers in his district. as reproduced
in The Bee of yesterday from the
Northwestern Christian Advocate,
has been read with attention and in
terest The indicated desire to
retain an extensive list of mem
bership as a basis for financial es-
Inmates upon each congregation. or
as one important reason therefor.
presents remarkable feature for
concern upon the question of church
administrative affairs. This tendency
is so common In practically all reli-
gious organizations that l fear II fails
to startle and alarm those most in
terested. as it properly should do.
The writer has intimate knowledge
OF two splendid families. formerly
very active in church affairs locally,
who are now in financial straits, and
because of recent crash in prices Will
ultimately be pennlless. Because OF
this condition, and as know. dread
ing to be thought OF as possibly reli-
gious pikers or spongers, the fam
flies are totally depriving themselves
of church association. although great
lovers of that privilege. Thousands
of others are in the same situation.
AS now administered in the average
local church of almost every name
religion has been made about the
same as a Ford car--viz. a very un-
wise, possession or investment except
to those who are able to keep it up.
Countless thousands Of people have
no interest or part in so-called
Christianity simply because they can
not afford 1t in its present form. We
need to re-establish genuine Chris
.tianity ~ that which Isaiah foresaw
and foyetold, and to issue anew in
truth his invitations: HE that hath
no money. come ye, buy and eat;
yea. come buy wine and milk with
out money and without price" That
invitation is obsolete now
