Citizens Associations relates to the val
uation and capitalization of the pro-
posed combined corporation and to the
guarantee of a profit Of seven per cent.
Upon these two questions the Public
Utilities Commission must pass judg-
ment. The peoples counsel holds with
the federations committee that the
capitalization is excessive and that there
should be no seven per cent guarantee
Of profit. The proponents of the merger
will be called upon to defend the
valuation upon which fair rates and
profits will be based and the principle
of profit guarantee. 1t hes already been
computed with what accuracy remains
to be determined that the rate of fare
would on the proposed capitalization
and seven per cent guarantee be dou-
bled. InaSmuch as all that the public
can derive as benefit from the merger
Of the companies is possible reduc-
ton of fare incident to reduced en-
penSes, this charge that the fare rate
may actually be increased materially Is
calculated to evoke a strong public re-
sistance to q consolidation which will
destroy competition and will yield
nothing in the way Of economy for the
patron of the car and bus lines.

Filth and Trash.

There is no reason for excitement or
unusual perturbation over the activities
of the organized atheists. One has a
right to adopt such philosophy and
to seek the companionship of others
holding similar belief. or disbelief There
Is nothing new in atheism. and that
part of the constitution of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Atheism. Inc. which states its object as
being Ito abolish belief in God" is about
as old as the world is old.
But If the clandeStine attempts of
perverted individuals to distribute So
called atheistic literature among school
children continues. it is the duty of the
school officials, assisted by the police de-
partment, TO catch them by the scruff of
the neck and hold them up to the light
of public examination Sincere efforts
to organize Junior Atheist Leagues
among school children might be laughed
off and the matter referred to the
safe-keeping of parents. But the ma
ture of the material secretly placed in
some of the schools where 1t is to be
found by the students is a matter for
more serious concern. In addition to its
blasphemy, it is designed to stimulate
erotic curiosity and morbid conclusions.
1t IS the dirty and stupid production of
soiled minds. and has little or no bear
ing on the doctrine Of atheism. The
good right arms of some of our high
school athletes might be enlisted and
used in determined effort to find and
adequately deal with the purveyors of
such trash.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN. d. D., ILL., d,
Bishop of Washington

II was said concerning him. "He knew
what was in men," This He disclosed
repeatedly in all His contacts with men
and women. He literally penetrated
beneath hard and stubborn surfaces. He
saw behind rugged eXteriors great soul
values, and. seeing them, called them
into action.
The place imagination has in religion
is conspicuous one. Without it there
nothing of religious devotion No life
IS at peace with itself or the world
that refuses to admit the higher i'm
pulses and influences that surge about
It's gateway. the gateway of the imagi-
nation and the emotions, demanding
admission. Those who dream dreams
and see visions are more important to
life than those who. with mathematical
accuracy, measure spaces or weigh dis
tant worlC;. or calculate the movement
of the spheres. Dull, indeed, would life
be If we had nothing else but scientists
and mathematicians; no. the men who
keep the imagination fresh and young
and the heart tender are the pathfind-
ers foy their fellows in life's great ac-
ton. Religious faith is not something
that we can demonstrate as We can q
mathematical problem. The conception

and eternal life-these are not things
that we may submit to the close scru-
tiny and analysis of the laboratory; they
belong to and have their field of opera
ton Within mans soul. In fine, they
enter his life through the gateway OF
the imagination. After ALL Pascal was
right when he said, The heart hath
reasons that the reason knows not Of
AS we mature in life we have tendency
to place limitations upon the field Of
our imagination. More and more We
restrict its area This Is largely dis
closed in what We call "our emotional
life" the things of the affections These
who retain their youthful outlook upon
life are inevitably those who keep thei:
imagination fresh and young
TO elevate the more than reasoning
mind
And color lifes dark cloud with Orient
rays.
Imagination is that sacred power.
Imagination, lofty and refined"
Thus, the poet Wordsworth speaks Of
the function and purpose of the imagi-
nation. To color life's dark cloud with
Orient rays" means to give religion. the
cultivation of the spiritual in our ma
turc. It's large place, its unembarrassed
field OF operation. This means to at
tain to that which Jesus came to give =:

"Imagination in Religion"

nntO INCG. II CHTOUtCtCS. LLtL 10.
''Imagination in Religion.
HE has ~ IMAGINATION is
what we frequently say concerning one
who has no capacity to appreciate the
finer things of life. Th" place that
imagine tion plays in all the practical
concerns of our daily life is large and
conspicuous. 1t is not something that
has to do merely with the artistic
things of life, or even the emotional
things of life 1t enters into the every
day experience of our commonest con-
Germs The man who lacks imagination
in the conduct of his business proves
inefficient and ultimately failure.
The statesman who lacks it is incon-
petent to deal with the large concerns
of public affairs. Imagination Is not
a quality of Elind that belongs to the
dreamer, the artist. the poet, the lit
tcrateur-it is part Of the normal
mental equipment, or, shall we say,
heart equipment of every one OF us
To go through life without exercising
the imagination means to fail to see
the things that are the most effective
and beautiful. 1t Is curious to note
how the imagination in some people
seems to be highly developed In certain
directions and practically imperative in
Others Darwin is an example of what
we have in mind. 1t was said Of him
that he had no appreciation of the
concord of sweet sound; music to
him was simply jargon of sounds. On
Tho other hand Beethoven. though
deaf. had such high inner perceptions
of harmony that he was able to COM
pose the great symphonies without ever
hearing a single note. Some one OBJ
serving Turner working on a beautiful
landscape said as he saw the artist,
with his brush and palette ana cam
vas, Il have been studying your work
sir, and. for the life of me. cannot
see the thing you are painting" Quick
ly the great artist responded Don't
you wish you could?" The observer had
not the imagination to see what the
painter saw The great preacher, Hor-
ace Bushnell, maintained that imagina-
ton was one Of the divine attributes
God had given to man. He once said.
God declared at the creation. / have
made man. but have no gateway by
which to enter his life. SO He gave
man another gift-the imagination-as
the doorway of approach to his soul"
In Jesus Christ we see imagination
exercising itself to the highest degree.

A Crime Alarm.

New York City is getting to be an un-
healthy place for criminals. Enactment
of the Baumes laws materially de-
creased crime in that city because of
the stiffness and certainty of long prison
sentences Yesterday. however, the big
town bandits received another jolt in
the midriff when Mayor Walker off,
ciated at the Inauguration Of new po-
lice signal system. which. within two
minutes after an alarm is sounded. de-
livers to every station In Manhattan a
written report of the crime. From the
central station at headquarters mes
sages can be sent on printing ma
chine which automatically rewrites at
each station house the original report
and two carbon copies. The chances
of mistake are thereby lessered. much
time Is saved and the criminals get
away period is reduced BY a large mar
gin.
New York Is engaged in q perennial
fight with the underworld and must
constantly devise new methods TO win
the battle. Washington. perhaps. does
not need such system at the present
time. but 1t would be we'll for every
city To study the methods used In New
York for eventual installation In their
own departments. Science has come to
the aid of the law in this device for
the protection of citizens Of New York
and other crime-infested cities cannot
afford to ignore this aid. Stuff ana
sure penalties coupled with instant and
far-fung alarms will do much to safe
guard communities from the denizens
Of the halfworld.
