A WRONG CONCLUSION

In our issue of Saturday, June z, we carried an article from a valued cor respondent which robbed of it's gener- alities, is so easily refuted by the log ic of ages, that it 'hardlys warrant criticism. The article in question was one of those caustc criticisms of religions, especially that of Catholic ism, as is often written by the thought less, educated parsonage, who general ly is not familiar with or is incompe- tent to write on the subject.
 To the man with no religion in his makeup, the discussion of religious questions should be let severely alone, as one is not competent to judge of that with which he is unfamiliar. The average citizen recognizes the exis- tence of some supreme being or deity and lets it go at that. Religion is as old as the ages and as diversified as the nations. From time immemorial the savage and barbarian had some deity whom he wished to propitiate by sacrifice, by certain rites, or by human sacrifice.
 As civilization crept over the world, civilization brought about by the religions our critics affect to despise, and as knowledge came with the light or increased reasoning powers, the need of more modern and humane re- ligions was filled by the arrival of Jesus the Nazarene, whose teachings were generally adopted by the world, and have been the cause of more gen eral advancement than any other one thing.
 What can be found wrong with these teachings by any man of ordi- nary mentality is hard to conceive. The Golden Rule and Ten Command ments alone would civilize a world. The trouble with most critics is that they criticise something they know nothing of by experience, and mighty little by hearsay:-
 It is true that different religions have different doctrines and different workings, but so have other organi- cations of lesser movement. A man may be a Jew, a Catholic, a Metho- dist, or a Presbyterian, and still be a man, with his belief in the Creator matter of youthful environment and teachings. Religion like law stands for more than is accomplished. It's teachings are we'll known perfect, but l it's practices are not observed as they should be.
 The Gateway has no fault to find o1 criticisms to make over any mans religious convictions, believing that it would be un-American to do so. The man who follows the teachings of the Master, no matter what road he takes to arrive at his destination, IS better ] for his convictions, even though he IS lax in putting them into practice.

Nome Natives are Being Driven Out of Country

In the opinion of William T. Lopp, Superintendent of the Alaska Division of the Bureau of Education, the time is fast approaching when the encroach- ment of private interprises on Seward Peninsula will soon drive the natives out of that district. The reindeer situa- tion in certain districts of the Seward Peninsula at the present time is very similar to the cattle days in the states when controversy over land arose.
 There are no land leasing or grazing laws in the North, and regardless of the natives prior rights to the land, their herds are being slowly crowded out.
 There are great many Eskimos on the Seward Peninsula whe have all ready signified their intention of nov ing their laret reindeer herds down to Cantwell, and the first of these herds owned by an Eskimo named Simon, who had ranged his reindeer over the Norton Sound district for many years, told MT. Lopp last summer that he in tended to start driving his herd of ap- proximately 5000 reineder, last fall to Iditarod where he would winter them, and then this coming fall, com plete the .,rive to the railroad o: into the Canrwell belt. In all probability, therefore, starting in at the Cantwell district, within a year time will see great herds of reindeer swarn,,ng over the great belt of mos, wn: Il $ approximately fifty miles wide and a great mary mics in lerg.h

Plenty Excitement
For All on July
18th at Waterville

Fourth of July will be the biggest
day this city has known for many a
moon. The day will be started as
usual by the youthful citizens who
start at midnight and whoop-er-up
all night and all day, but at 300 A.
nj. the real days program will be-
gin with a big parade. The Ameri-
can Legion boys have worked hard
on this feature of the day. invita-
lions being sent to every organizaz-
ton that could be available to par
ticipate.
This parade will be one of the
finest Waterville folks have ever had
the pleasure OF viewing and will
contain many novel features. George
N. Bourque Post, American Legion
will follow the leading band, with
the various organizations taking
their places In line, and these will in
turn be followed by the floats of the
Rotarians, Kiwanis, Lions, Lock-
wood, Hollingsworth & Whitney Co.,
and other societies and business
houses.
Simultaneous with the start of the
parade will be the start of the ten
mile race at the Fair Grounds. In
this race will be seen such stars as
Payne. the Rollo of Colby fame.
Brainerd Hardy. Coburn's cross
country star and several other men
of ability. The parade will be over
and all may see the finish Of this
race at Central Maine Park.
The morning baseball game will
be q battle royal between teams rep
resenting Waterville and Oakland
Legionnaires, and should be well
worth watching. After this game an
opportunity will be given to snatch
a lunch and then the fun begins
again.
At 1880 the curtain will go up on
the 1924 racing season, and four
good horse races have been provided
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-06-28

to interest the lovers Of harness rae
ing. The first race will be the 2:26
trot and pace in which there are IL
entries. The 2:1S trot and pace will
start next with nine horses entered.
Third on the race card is the 1923
trot and pace, and this race has eight
entries, while the last of the day
will be the Three Year Old and I'm
der with four of the best colts in
this vicinity striving for first money.
Between the heats of horse racing
the athletic events will be run off
including 100 yard races, quarter
mile, half mile, mile, shot-put, po-
tato race and catching the creased
pigs Surely a program that will
please every man, woman and child
who Is fortunate enough to attend.
The Waterville Military Band will
dispense music at various and sun
dry times throughout the program,
and there Is always the hot dog man
and bankers and vendors of other de-
lectables at time like this.
, No time, trouble or expense has
been spared in putting on the days
doings, and with good weather, there
should be a crowd such as Waterville
sees on Governors Day at the an
nual fair. The baseball and horse
fans are sure to be given score
cards free of charge. SO that each
may keep for himself or herself the
count of their pet sport,

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-06-28

Just about equal to the total amount
OF our annual savings bank de-
posits. 81
And there is still another way Of
looking at 1t. \
An eminent economist estimates
that the total yearly savings of the
American people amount to $12,.
000,000,000. This includes all net
additions to our national wealth
through the saving Of money!
through investment in durable,
goods and through increases, In
values. 1t Is the net annual profit,
of the great American family. A.
third of a century ago the total
wealth output Of our nation was no
greater than our annual net accu-'
mutations Of wealth today. Eng,
land and Germany before the war,
added only about one-sixth Of this
great sum to their material re-
sources. q,
The fact that we thus are able
to pile up $4,000. 100000 in new
wealth each year is sufficient proof
OF the opportunities for financial
progress that are held out to the,
individual in this country. 81,
Where there is such opportunity
for legitimate advancement. It is
all the more deplorable that sos
many of our people should seek!
advancement through methods that,
result in loss and disaster.
The situation is due partly to ig.i
norance and illiteracy. partly to,
the gambling instinct Of many. and
partly because of the abnormal de-,
sires of thousands Of our citizens
to get rich in a hurry. ~
No one should lose sight of the
fact that a billion dollars q year :
flowing through illegal channels
means not only that legitimate
business has been deprived Of that
much money, but that q heavy bur-
den is placed on the public through
impaired business activities and
added costs Of living. ,
The rightful earning capacity OF
money has its limitations. and
when representations are made
otherwise 1t should be borne In
mind that such representations
either are willful efforts to defraud
or spring from business principles
as unsound as the shifting sands
OF the sea. ,
