facts of everyday life and science are getting more
and more evident. And the number of church.
goers of the "obedient Sheep" is gradually de-
creasing
Naturally, the priests are very much alarmed
over this fact. From the pupits and in the press
they're shouting about the growing unbelief"
Many of them, in order TO bring back into the
folds of the church their herds, supplement their
sermons with movies and other amusements Not
so long ago sagacious New York priest "sea-
soned" his sermons with some classic dances per-
formed by barefoot maidens.
This growing unbelief" also causes good deal
of anxiety to the ruling class. And no wonder
Religion has always been of the most efficient
means of preserving obedience in the oppressed
toillng masses, their submission to their unenvable
lot and their blind hope for better times if not in
this life, then at least in the hereafter"
It's therefore necessary to save religion But
how? It.seems that movies and such like amusing
supplements to church proceedings don't serve the
purpose quite well. True, the churches are perhaps
filled again, but a good many people visit them
only spectators and not reverential god-fear-
ing worshippers. Of course, this doesn't help mat
tiers.
Well, if movies dances and other attractions don't
prove the existence Of god and the necessity Of re-
lgion then, perhaps science will.
Unfortunately, there are stil very few scientists
who are entirely Independent and honest in their
knowledge. The great majority Of them are faith
Iuiy serving the ruling class, are selling their
knowledge for bowl Of pottage. Il pays so much
better and means so much more ease and comfort
AT the bidding from above, at "his masters voice."

Electricity and God

ELECTRICITY and godl A rather strange COM
bination. Even more than strange. Really, what
is there in common between electricity and god /?
Aren't they entirely two different things?
Well, they may seem to be so to the common
MORTAL but they aren't. Indeed not! Ask Pro-
fessor Pripin of the Columbia University He
knows. And as far as he is concerned the af-
finity between electricity and god is an undeniabIe
fact. In his learned opinion they're very much re-
lated to each other, real "blood relatives" so to
speak.
First of all, Professor Prpin claims that to teach
the science of electricity properly simply means to
teach theology in its most concrete and ineligible
FORM"
Secondly, "there is just one mystery in the cleo
trical science, says our learned professor "and
that is, where, when and how the tiny electron and
its fond partner, the proton, into existence?
The sensible man will say god created them, and
god only knows where, when and how"
And last, but by means the least, "when man
discovered the eectron he caught the first glimpse
of the divine method of creative operations God
employed the heavenly host of eectronc workers
to build the atom the molecules and the galaxies
of burning stars
Here you have scientific" proof of the COM
munity between electricity and god For our pro-
fessor this as clear as day.
OF course 1t takes a professor to see that much.
But to the common mortal, who is so far from
PROFESSIONAL learning, this Scientific" proof doesn't
really prove anything at all. To him the relation
ship between electricity and god still remains
mystery"
And yet, there is nothing mysterious. Our
estimable professor is simply trying to inject little

this god, moldy from old age and badly smelling
of decay.
In the times of yore it was quite simple matter
to uphold the popular belief in the almighty"
Yes, it pretty easy job for the priests.
And they didn't need for it the eecron or any other
thing of that sort. People believed in god and in
the devil (and everything else related to either or
both) firmly, implicitly, unshakably lit seemed),
in most primitive manner Everything in this
world of ours comes either from the divine spirit
(god) or the evil spirit (the devl. And the crea-
ton OF the world was just primtively explained.
God moved his hands to and fro and about, or just
said: There shall be light" and lo-there was
light! In the very fashion he created the
earth and the water, and the stars, and everything
else. Finally he took a piece of clay and made
our forefather Adam and from Adams rib he made
Eve.
Everything simple and clear No eectrons, no
protons, no atoms any other fancy things of that
kind.
But the flow of social life is ever getting broader
deeper and swifter Mankind is facing concrete and
vital problems bearing upon social life in its all
present-day complexity. Every now and then
events of great historical Importance are taking
place. Science is rapidly progressing and in con-
sequence thereof the numerous mysteries" of our
life are blowing up one after another. Because of
all this god and religion getting further and
further into the background of human conscious
ness. The number Of people who have freed them
selves from the blind, implicit belief in god and the
devil and everything else that makes up primitive
believes and seek facts and knowledge is constantly
growing. Slowly, but surely, the ancient biblical
tales are losing their influence and their fascina-
ton, as their Inconsistencies in the face of hard

a stream of abuse at the desk sergeant Finnegan
gave her the silent signal.
II am just after running the gauntlet" Finnegan
told his wife. "Say, didn't those dogs abuse mel"
"Not at all" chimed in the desk sergeant, "they
only asked YOU some questions that were not easy
to answer. No matter what you said you were a
damn fool Yet, if you didn't answer you we're a
bigger fool"
"But what right have you or anybody else to ask
my husband questions?" demanded Mrs Finnegan
Il would like to scratch your eyes out"
Finnegan was trying to convince his wife that
the desk sergeant not responsible for his misery
but women and reason are not always synonymous
terms But talk as Mrs. Finnegan did the sergeant
had the last word.
"What I'd like to know" he said ais why a man
like your husband should be here. He doesn't have
to. What is he getting out of it? Now, I am in
sympathy with his ideas. always vote for William
Jennings Bryan, when he is running. But fellow
can't afford to be a damn fool unless he. has a
private income. Now, look at me-"
Finnegan and his wife looked at what was talk
ing and saw little fellow with sem-bald head
like the shuttle of an old-fashioned loom.
"When came to this country" continued the
desk sergeant, Il had tough time finding a lob,
but | stuck it out. l took anything / could get /
took job washing dishes. But l was not satisfied
with that | got job on the street cars. l wasn't
satisfied with that. l studied nights and finally
landed on the police force. After / pounded the
clothes assignment and here 1 am. Now l am Just
about where wanted to be- l tell you that a man
who doesn't look out for himself ought to be where
you are Mr. Finnegan. | feel sorry for your wife"
And so was Finnegan for that matter, for he was
a conscientious husband, but after his wife said
goodbye and he returned to his CELL somehow or
other the lavatory bowl looked different and the
flies that were crawling it seemed to wear
gaudier plumage. Even the snoring of the Pole
sounded like the strains of jazz orchestra to Fin
negan after the Babbitariansms Of the desk SER
geant Finnegan was in paradise, but at least
he was not satisfied. He shuddered he thot of
living the life of floor-walker or being part of
a system that depended for protection on uncouth
and obscene detectives. This was his compensation
for whatever discomfort he suffered He enjoyed
the luxury of hating the plunderers Of the workers
A feeling of lanquor superinduced by mental salts
faction crept slowly thru his veins, like the action
of the first glass of generous wine on the blood.
He folded his soft hat and laid it down on the
bench. He laid his head ON his hat, stretched out
his limbs alongside the amorous Pole and soon his
heavy breathing minglng tremendously with
the shores of his cell-mate.

Cogitatiol1 In a Cell

"They say put child in girl he replied, and one
could not Judge by his looks whether the charge
was phony not.
The Pole did not seem to care what Finneean
was IN for. He asked questions Just looked into
space.
1t was six o'clock in the evening and noises
began to increase. Outside a detective squad was
going on duty and the lieutenant was lecturng the
men.
1t was hard to catch everything he said but Fin
negan could gather that he crticising his staff
There. considerable cursing and abuse and
then silence.
But not for long. 1t was time for the lineup
The jaier came along with his key and the cell
door opened Finnegan and the Pole walked out
They turned a and found themselves lined
up against wall with figures it. From foot
to foot 2. The prisoners stood up against this
wall. In front of them were about twenty grinnine
policemen in plain clothes, detective squad In the
middle of this squad stood lieutenant, the same
fellow who was abusing the policemen few min
utes previously
The lieutenant had sheet of paper in his hand
with the names Of prisoners it and what they
were in for he called them one by one and as they
were called they compelled to stand with their
backs against that part of the wall, on which the
numbers were inscribed. AS each prisoner walked
up to his position the lieutenant would ask him for
his name, tell him to take off his hat tell him put
it ON, then abuse him for putting it on, ask him
ant would say: SHUT up or I'll kick you in the
belly" worse than that. After the lieutenant had
satisfied himself that this particular prisoner was
played out. he would say to the detectives who stood
around: "give this bird little medicine"
Then the detectives would take few punches at
the prisoner remarking chow do you like that you
son of Mexican half breed?"
The Pole got ahead of Finneean and even Finne-
gan had to laugh at Of the things the dicks
said to him about his amorous affairs. Afterwards
in his cell the Pole said to Finnegan: "They called
me ----" But another prsoner-a pro-
fessional pickpocket who was spending the night
with the Pole and Fnnegan, laughed like hell and
chuckled: "They called you nothing. You ought to
hear what they called me-" And when he told what
they called him the Pole laid down on the bench
and went to sleep--happy.
"Finnegan there is someone to see you," hoIered
the night desk sergeant.
Finnegan jumped up and out. His wife was look
ing in thru the gate that led from the stairway
into the cellar where he ncarcerated She had
been trying to locate him all day and sent from
one place to another. Nobody seemed TO know
where he was. Well, she him and began to hurl

Il was told that this was the right way to ap-
proach boss" observed Fnnegan.
"Well, you'll know better before long" retorted
Fitzpatrick "Only for this letter from Dr. McFud-
die, | would have you pitched out on your ear
What the devil kind of animals are they rearing in
Ireland these days?"
Then Fitzpatrick cooled down somewhat and said:
TN place you provided you are willing to start
from the bottom. How would SO a week suit you
for start? If you stick to it you'll make good al
right"
Fnnegan said he'd think it over and made his
exit Hell, he could get almost twice that much
rustling freight the docks.
If Finnegan had taken that job in the store per
haps he might not now be looking at a lot of flies
creeping over the bowl in the cell. He might be
floor-walker in the store, a collector of pennies
IN the church and the proud possessor of deed to
cottage. But what of it? When he thought of
living such life he almost had fainting spell.
Finnegan did not take the job in the store He
dld not want to start at the bottom. He did not
even want to start at the top. He did not want to
start anywhere. He not that kind of person.
The very thot of having to take the same car every
morning. get up at the same hour, punch the clocl.
and perform the same movements regularly for a
lifetime was enough to drive him crazy Ha had
Imagination, ard imagination is not prerequisite to
success in business. So Fnnegan thot and thot fur-
ously.
In his youth he read in catholic magazine an
attack on socialism made by the pope Because the
pope was against socialism Finnegan became inter
ested But none of his acquaintance ever heard Of
this strange doctrine. When Finnegan tried to tell
them about it they would not get excited but simply
say: Il am afraid that will not come in our time"
But one day Finnegan was walking along the
beach ready for anything, even for jumping into
the sea. rather shabbily- dressed person handed
him pamphlet. 1t was the campaign platform Of
the socialist party. Fnnegan sat down on a bench
and devoured it. He was not the same ever since
That leaflet made him what he was today. 1t gave
him new reason why he should live.
Here he was in the can, thinking over many things
and particularly the motives that drive people
to do certain things. Now, why should one man
suffer in order to help millions who may at this
moment be quite willing that he should go to the
gallows rot in jail?
His soliloquy disturbed by the rustic of a
key in the cell door lock and another prisoner was
showed in.
The newcomer a sallow-faced Pole.
"What have they got against your" asked Finne-
gan.
