DOES GOD CARE?
By F. F. CORLISS.

L ~ oiSeAi lIe&IUI ID clDoOlulCly HULL
ferent to the welfare of men.
The lightning strikes a church as
often as it strikes saloon. The vol
cano belches forth it's molten lava and
destroys a whole city. The earth
trembles and starts a giant boulder
down the mountain slope and brushes
all the inmates of the poor, honest
workingman's cabin.
In the wilderness and the Jungle
animal life hungers and thirsts for
blood. The strong fight with tooth
and claw to devour the weak and in
| the seas the big fish live on the little
ones.
So nature, whether we speak of it
as animate or inanimate, is needless
Of life and the well-being of men.
We love to think of our Creator as
the perfection Of love, wisdom, power
and mercy, but if He cared would He
not guide and protect man at least
from unnecessary loss of life?
Materialists don't believe the uni
verse has any creative design, hence
there is no designer-no God. Deists
+ believe in a Creator that is omnis-
cient, omnipotent and omnipresent
and that nature reveals a supreme
wisdom and purpose in all created
! things.
To deny Him these attributes would
be making Him something less than
the Supreme Ruler of the universe
But when we ascribe the above at
tributes to our Maker we know that
He must. be cognizant of the thoughts
and acts of men, of the animal life be-
low man and the physical laws of ma
ture.
Hence He knows all about the cru
elites Of the jungle and of mans inhu-
, mainly to man; all about our wars,
religious, racial and economic ques-
tions, and yet He tolerates them with
no more thought than man has in
killing potato bugs.
This Indifference to physical life
throughout nature looks as though
life in the cosmic scheme of things
has nothing but transitory value:
had an experience to gain only.
When millions of men are sacrificed
on fields of battle to gain a privi-
lege or a principle and no one cares
but those bereaved and left to suffer,
it looks as though the Creator con-
siders the life of the human body no
more than He does the cutting of
grass or the falling of tree.
This thought leads one to believe
that spirit, the soul, the mind within
is all that really matters either to
God or to man. Circumstantial evil
/ dence would convict the Creator of
injustice and cruelty, but it is not our
business to judge our Maker. There
may be much evidence in His favor
that man is not able to discover.
Reason, tempered by justice, ought
to be the final arbiter in the settle
ment of individual or national dis
putes or rights, but so far in history
it never has been. The court of last
resort is force-war.
AS a nation we can not be called
fully civilized, or christainized while
we believe that might can make right.
AS men think and believe so they
act. Man is an imitator of nature in
all his ways and works and if he be-
lieves that God don't care and that
nature rules animal life by the forces

In the Wake of the News

A CCORDING to press dispatches. the British min
a. ers' strike has been officially called on The
miners have been instructed by the executive Of
the federation to enter into negotiations with the
operators the basis Of district agreements Thus
the operators have won victory despite the heroic
struggle waged by the miners. But the operators
victory will prove Phyrric 1t won thru the
treachery of the reaconary leadership of the Brit
sh trade union movement and the failure of world
labor outside of the Soviet Union, to to the
miners assistance 1t is very doubtful if there 10
recorded in the annals Of labor history a more
shocking instance OF betrayal than the story of how
the miners let down by the officials of the
Trade Union Congress and of the Labor Party.
THERE Is a deep-rooted belief that the action of
Thomas, Macdonald, Bevin and Pugh was not
due to objection to general strike principle but
that those conscious agents Of the British
government and that they considered their duty to
the higher than their duty to the trade union
movement. 1t is significant that J. H. Thomas.
when he sued the official organ of the British Com
munist Party for libel few years ago, admitted

member Of the privy council that he bound him
self to advise the government Of any information
that might come into his possession of movements
that in his opinion might be preiudicial to the inter
ests OF the royal family
THERE is no doubt that the general strike was a
strike against the government and was decided
menace to British capitalism which is the essence
Of British rule, the royal family being merely the
hgleaf. The government correctly estimated the
strike as a threat and acted accordingly The labor
leaders continued to groan that II was only an in

TENNIS TOURNEY

TO Be GOOD One

Tennis enthusiasm at the high
school is beginning to reach the fever
heat as the approaching inter-class
tournament looms on the horizon and
the results of the preliminary tits
are beginning to trickle through on
the score sheet.
Several new students entered the
tourney Thursday and will draw for
place next Monday. Almost every
tennis court in tine city is besiegeo
by high school racquet stars after
school, getting ready for the tourna-
ment which begins Wednesday,. p
Winona Bryan, senior, continued
to play first-class tennis and swept
victories over George Henderson and
Ruby Hilburn. Ted Woods, defeated
in the early rounds Thursday, staged
a comeback" and won in straight
sets from his opponent.
Mary Virginia Austin, smarting
under defeat at the hands of an
other classmate, rallied yesterday
and won her set against Beatrice V.
Butler THE junior star. After MAX
ing several wild services, Miss Aus
tin steadied down and displayed II
good brand of tennis. Several other
players went through elimination
rounds yesterday but the results were
not recorded.

MIAMI, Fla, March 11.--Despite
the action Of Billy Gibson in calling
off the fight here tomorrow night
between Gene Tunney and wv. l..
Young Stribling, Jesse Baugh the
promoter, said tonight that he hoped
the bout would be held.
H. Lester Quigg, chief of police or
Miami, declared late today he would
make Gibson go through with the
fight if he could find him. Chief
Ouigg said he had a warrant for
Gibson charging him with passing q
worthless check for $2540. The war
rant was sworn out in West Palm
Beach by William Dietch.
Tunney declared he would abide
the orders Of his manager. Nulner-
Gus fight fans visited Tunney this
afternoon and urged him to &c
through with the fight regardless
of Gibson Tunney however, de-
clined to do anything without Glib
sons orders.
Early in the day, Gibson announced
that the fight was off because Pro
moter Baugh had not paid the guar
antee and had no money in sight to
meet it, Immediately after making
the announcement Gibson disappeared.
1t was reported in the afternoon
that the city commission had been
called i'm session to consider forcing
Tunney and Stribling to go through
with the fight. This was denied by
Frank H. Wharton. He said that
the commission had no jurisdiction
and could not take any action in the
matter.
An offer by a group of Miami busi7
ness men to virtually underwrite the
fight failed to cause Gibson to change
his mind.

airy recall to mind once more that
fame in baseball is fleeting. A player
can ride along for a short time only
on glory, he must keep on deliv-
ering.
In 1924 Washington won a pen
nant and world series. Two pitch
ers, Zachary and Mogridge, supplied
the punch that made possible the
winning of the series. Their work
far exceeded expectations
Only one season has passed and
now we find the two heroes of the
series, from a Washington stand
point, have passed on.
In the middle of last season Mo-
gridge was traded to the st. Louis
Browns He pitched only on game
suffering an arm injury that kept
him out the rest of the season. He
now goes from the American to the
National.
Tom Zachary, who twice defeated
the Giants, was recently sent to st.
Louis for Joe Bush.
The fame won by the two veteran
sOuthpaws in the 1924 world series
was certainly of short duration.
