WONDERS OF SCIENCE

THE latest word in scientific aid to indo-
i lence has Just been announced by the
gadgeteers Of the radio industry. 1t is a
robot radio clock. which when once set for
an evenings entertainment will automatically
switch the radio back and forth among seven
stations TO pick up programs which the listener
has chosen in advance.
Only one step remains for the radio en-
gineers. They have overlooked, so far, the
development Of a device which would:
/. Automatically hoist the listener to his
feet when The Star spangled Banner is played
2. Mechanically guide his foot in a tap
dance when a rhythmic rhumba is being per-
formed.
3. Deliver a mechanical imitation of an
appropriate remark when saxophone. or 8

That statement is recorded for ev-

changed to suit the philosophical
outlook Of the individual. You mis-
interpreted my statement in regard
to our nation becoming as Russia,
India or China. I said if the Aneri-

void Of power and virtue, as those
countries.

1t has been asserted that neither
the Bible nor christianity needs
defense. Why, then, these excul-
patory illusions from two writer's
in this column, which effusions
belle the assertion? Moreover,
why do they, in their replies to
Mr.. Cummings, renounce logic
and resort to denunciation?
Denunciation never answered
an argument; it never will answer
an argument.
1t has been said further that
the Scriptures are so plain that a
wayfaring man, though fool,
need not err therein; but every
divergent sect, every schismatic
creed, is a certificate attesting the
falsity of the claim. How, then,
can these valiant defenders of
doctrine expect Mr.. Cummings or
any one else to solve scriptural
enigmas when they are so per-
picking to our most learned di-
vines?
Their lack of logic is born of the
biblical injunction that one must
believe. Must, indeed! Can one
be commanded to believe? Has
man control over his belief? Be-
lief is in no sense a matter of the
will; rather is it the result Of in
vestigation, the weighing of evil
dence, for and against.
Some minds are impervious to
all reason. This breeds intoler-
ance. It is this same intolerance
now that causes man to hate his
brother should they differ on mat
tiers Of religion.

Bible Defenders Declared Lacking IN Logic

Some dark, cloudless night,
when Natures voice is stilled, get
yourself out on the green velvet
of mans earthly garden. Brush
the dust off your Bible and take
it with you, the Bible, not the
dust. And as, enchanted, you
stand there, cast your eyes up
ward. What do you see? Ma
lures nocturnal dome, inlaid with
glittering gems. Your gaze holds
fast and, transfixed in wonder
and awe. you eXclain: The
heavens declare the glory of God"
This starts no quarrel.
Now look to your hand and
what do you see? A book, man
made, and over which some do
quarrel. And why? Because of
the twin ogres. tyranny and ter
ror.
AS Lincoln snapped the letters
of physical slavery, likewise did
Thomas Paine and Robert Inger-
soil break the chains of intellec-
tuaI slavery. They were benefac-
tors of men.
Listen to these words:
"The world is my country; to
do good is my religion"
One could not misinterpret that
bit Of philosophy if he tried; and
as long as man lives that gem
of sentiment never will start a
quarrel. And whose words are
they? They are the words of one
whose name is immortal wher-
ever the liberty and the rights
of man are held sacred, the words
of one who has been denounced
as that dirty little atheist"
Thomas Paine.

UPHOLDS JUSTICE OF
GENERAL STRIKE

By Paul B. Sallee.
When it comes to knowing or CIV
ing sympathy to the labor move
ment, the Scripps-IIoward press is
very effective strike breaker.
When a great chain of newspapers
which claims to be a tremendous
power nationally is unable to get an
innocent working man pardoned
from prison after going on record
indorsing such action, the labor
movement certainly knows how
much effective friendship they can
expect. The Times editorially praised
the very Governor who could have
pardoned this innocent working
man because the Governor paroled
a gang of bootleggers.
So to state that the Scripps-
Howard press is a friend of labor,
that the basis of labor is the union
contract and that the general strike
is suicidal, is sufficient proof that
The Times is trying to mislead the
workers, or that the editor does not
know labor's cause.
If the contract is such q beneficial
! instrument to labor, why did the
employers of San Francisco object
to the contract, force lockout and
demand a wage reduction, which
caused the strike in 1902? Mil
lions of dollars were spent by the
California Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association to destroy organ
lied labor and reduce wages.
Scabs were imported by the hun
dreds. Boys were sent out to work
as journeymen after a few months
in the M. and M. Trade school. The
employers refused to abide by the
712 per cent wage reduction after
they had signed written agree
ment to accept the findings of an
arbitration board. The board con-
sisted of the Catholic archbishop of
San Francisco, a former state SUI
preme judge and an industrial ex-
pert.
The craft union shop strike was
ineffective twenty-five years ago,
and because OF its use, organized
labor was intimidated by local and
imported plug uglies," the police
and state militia, and was forced to
protect itself by counter methods,
where, if it had been organized in
dustrially with local strike autonomy
and had used the general strike,
it could have gotten in a few days
strike, a fair consideration and
avoided much hard feeling from
their employers and the public.
1t certainly is not the intention
of Washington to take too much
interest in the troubles of labor.
While the bullets whiz and the gas
bombs burst and women and
children starve in San Francisco.
Roosevelt fishes and fiddles, leav-
ing labor's troubles to his buster
ing job holders who hope to get
votes by handing out blah. while
the press sings the praises Of these
men and the New Deal. Labor has
little to look forward to, unless it
uses the general strike to enforce its
demands.

lures are immoral, and would our
Lord count any Of them moral?
Being a Christian, I am very
much opposed to moving pictures
for the Christian. If this group has
enough religion to protest against
immoral films, it should have
enough salvation to stay away from
places where they are being shown.
John, 2:15 reads, Love not the
world, neither the things that are
in the world: If a man love the
world the love of the Father is not
in him." James "A declares,
Friendship with the world is en-
nifty with God; whosoever there
fore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy Of God"
There are so-called Christians
who will flock to the theaters to see
the Bible" pictures of Ten Com
mandments," Lord of Lords" and
King of Kings" and think they are
great and profitable. Do they realize
that the same persons acting in the
immoral films also act in the So
called religious films, impersonating
our Lord?
James 3:11 says:
Doth a fountain send forth at the
same place sweet water and bitter?"
Matt. 7:18, "a corrupt tree can not
bring forth good fruit" Therefore,
you can't expect to have a sermon
or be taught the Bible at the
theater.
If church members don't like the
way the devil runs his business, let
them get out Of his territory and
come on the Lords side, where they
belong. If they want to learn to live
holy, let them separate themselves
as Moses from the worldly things
and 60 to church where it is taught.
7 refer them to Gal. 5:19-21.

MRS. HILL FAVORlTE

" ANSAS CITY, June 4.-Chal-
N lenges from several sides faced
Mrs. o. S. Hill of Kansas City
today as she began her effort to set
the pace in the qualifying round of
the eighth annual women's trans
Mississippi golf tournament over the
l8-hole route at the Blue Hills Club

Mrs. Hill. who has won the trans
Mississippi tournament three times, is
the favorite, as she is playing her
home course. but she failed to share
in the honors yesterday in preliminary
events.
Mrs. D. W. Snyder. jr., of Kansas

contest in a playoff after tying with
Mrs. S. L. Alexander, Memphis, and
Mrs. H. H. Silverforb, Kansas City,
each of whom scored 3-2-2-7 in
their initial tries.
In the championship flight driving
contest, Miss Lucille Robinson, West
ern champion from Des Moines, an
other title favorite by virtue of her
IA in a practice round, was winner
with total of 596 yards on three tee
shots. Patty Berg, 16-year-old school
girl from Minneapolis, had the longest
drive, 226 yards.
The defending champion in the fast
field, Miss Phyllis Buchanan of Den
