ATHEIST ORGANIZATION
Warnings Sent to Church Or
plantations to be on Guard

carnations to be on Guaro
The American Association for
the Advancement of Atheism has
been organized and incorporated
in New York, with the avowed
intention of spreading Atheistic
propaganda, "abolishing belief
in Cod" and contributing to
the construction of better CIV
ilization by acting as wrecking
company" The original petition
for incorporation was denied, but
revised application for charter
couched in different terms, was
accepted by Justice Ford, of the
Supreme Court.
The first strike Of the new
Atheist organization is at chap
lains in the Senate and House
and Army and Navy. Through
James |. Elliott, one of it's mem
bers, the organization has filed a
petition with the District OF Co
lumbia Supreme Court for an in
junction to restrain salaries of
chapiains of the House and Sen
ate, the Army and Navy and to
all clerks attached to the two
services, on the claim that it is
unconstitutional.
The attack on the chaplains is
considered largely an advertis-
ing campaign on the part of the
Atheist organization and it is
pointed out that the courts are
not likely to interfere with the
Senate and House in this matter
The high schools and colleges,
however, may prove a different
matter. Warnings are being sent
out by church workers to be ON
guard against this propaganda

Railroads are said to be plan
ming to run trains at the rate oil
100 miles an hour. But as it would
be necessary to rebuild the roads
it is probable that even the best
of the trains will continue to jog

time to come.

capita of supervised public recre-
alton carried in sos cities last
year was nine cents. But here is
matter of importance far trans
cending the matter of dollars and
cents. 1t is case of rearing wor-
thy citizens instead of permitting
the training of youthful criminals
in the school of the street.
Men and women engaged in this
activity, comparatively new, of
making the leisure hours of young
and old an asset rather than liza
bility, have already built up a
considerable body of experience
and practical knowledge of the
ways in which to get the best re-
suits. Towns and cities are COM
ing more and more to realize that
in the future what they offer in
recreational advantages will be
scrutinized as carefully as what
they possess in the way Of hous-
ing, transportation and power ia
eilities, when it comes to the es-
tablishment of industry. The day
is at hand when it will not do to
boast about increase in population
unless it can be shown that along
with the growth has gone provi-
sion for those things which con-
tribute to make a town or city a
good place in which to live and
do business, and not the least
among these things will be count
ed the Fairgrounds and all the
other reereational advantages.
