THE DOUBTERS

A fantastic story has come out OF the
far north, repeating in miniature the
history of thought and religious fanati-
cism in the world One Neakutuk, a
leader of the natives about the shore
OF Baffin Island, announced that mes
sage from the Great Spirit appointed him
vicar and ordered him to lead his fell
low villagers to the land beyond the
stars. He poured over the Bible. or
dcred strange rites. made the villagers
fast and take part in the rituals and ccre-
monies he imposed. His rules were in
violate and there was oppression OF the
people. until some one. driven to abso-
lutte disregard OF. all consequences TO
himself here and hereafter. state at
tanned often by those coerced and threat
ened by imposed authority, slew the vicar
of the Great Spirit. and the tribe was
freed. But before this happened chose
who doubted were slain
1t is the common fate of doubters since
the world began, those pioneer doubters
who questioned the established before
anyone had ever dared "bat an eve"
They paid for their temerity with ex-
termination. but their death merely en-
phasized the doubt. Later others dar-
ing to doubt en- masse, raised their pro-
tests and went on where the other had
seemed to fail.
Religions have been the richest ground
for the growth of determined opposition
to thought. for the reason that divine
authority is claimed for every system.
One who attacks system is conceived
as attacking, not the crystallization of
thought that represents certain mems re-
action to the mystery of existence and
their Interpretation. which is bound to
be partial, but the very existence OF the
Divine itself.
Jung, the Swiss psychologist, in re-
cent publication has shown how that
confusion OF thought is the root OF all
controversies that have stirred the world
running through every phase OF human
activity. On one hand are those who
emphasize the things that arc objective.
the established, the organized and claim
for this finality On the other are those
who seek for the idea. the abstraction,
the essence of life. Among these are
the doubters.
Unfortunately the doubters have be-
come obstructionists and prosecutors in
time. Staying those who doubt what they
have built up. like the Puritans who
sought religious liberty in America and
promptly prosecuted all who disagreed
with them. But all in all, because they
turned fresh light on old problems. the
doubtcrs have been the great liberators
and benefactors of mankind. They arc
the eternal seekers for the riddle of the
universe that people have called truth

MR.. DAUGHERTY RETIRES

The resignation OF Harry NJ. Daugh-
erty, Attorney General OF the United
States, has been requested and received
by President Coolidge. Mr.. Daugherty
has left the presidential cabinet with the
