STOCKHOLM A definite boom in the stock exchange here developed from a general upward trend that has - been gaining headway ever since the end of November when the dullness

for almost a year's duration was terminated. The boom is attributed to a revival of optimism, aided by fat

dividends recently announced by Swedish industries. WASHINGTON The Shipping Board has approved the sale of nine cargo ships to a San Francisco company.

Only a lower cost of production or increased tariff would solve the problem he

said. NEW YORK. The prevention of unfair competition by means of international action was urged at the recent Stockholm conference of the International Law Association by

THE DARK THAT FAILED"

Commercial Airplanes Carry

62,000 Passengers In 1924

Washington, Jan. 5. Data regarded as demonstrating

that commercial aviation definitely has passed the experimental stage are contained in a report just submitted to the War Department by Lieut. John P. van Zant of the army air service, after a study of its development in Europe involving 6,000 miles of travel over commercial airways.

Through almost every chapter of "The Dark That Failed there runs contradiction to the claims of Roman Catholics that their church is not in politics. Political activities in -other countries by the Roman corporation at this time but adds to the deduction of all clear thinkers that Rome is just as much in politics in the United States as its leaders deem consistent with safety to church interests. The lesson of "The Dark That Failed'" teaches that Bo country is safe from Roman political encroachments and it is borne home to Protestant America that above Till countries in the world the Roman organization has set its covetous eyes on free America. That it is eventually doomed to failure does not in any degree discourage its attempts to ''make America Catholic." ; -

c

The army officer reaches the con-O

elusion in his- report to Dwight F. Davis, Assistant Secretary of War, and Maj.-Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the army air service, that

"under suitable conditions mail and goods may now be transported by air with equal or greater safety and reliability than by train and with greater saving of time."

Picturing the development of com

mercial aviation in the period since

war, the report gives the aggregate of air transport miles flown in all countries, Including the United States as 20,110,700 up to last year, and estimates that 1924 reports will add 8,500,000 miles to the total.

The figures represent only regular

air transportation services over es

t tablished routes, carrying passengers.

mail and commodities. During the same period the development of pas

senger air traffic has increased from

2585 passengers in 1919 to 62,000 pas

sengers in 1924.

In the development of air-mail traffic, the United States leads the world, according to the report. In

1922 an aggregate of 1,930,777 pounds

of air mail was transported, of which

1,512,197 pounds was United States

Air-freight transportation increased from -269,600 pounds in 1919 to more

than 5,000,000 pounds in 1924.

MOOSE SAVES TIME BY CROSSING TRESTLE

(Special to The Kourler.) Portland, Ore., Jan. 5. Railroad trains in southeastern Oregon lately have been delayed by a moose using a trestle there as a footpath. Not content to travel toward greener

pastures by the usual trails, this

moose has discovered that by walking across the long, high trestle considerable time may be cut from the trip. The time saved is only on the part of the moose, however, and train crews are at a loss to know how to keep the trestle clear.

The Soviet government has purchased 15,000 tons of flour for its army in New York and is negotiating for 200,000 additional tons, it is reported here. It is also attempting to bolster the morale of its fighters which has been at low ebb.

BKRLIN. All condemned murderers cry for their mothers when they kneel and await the ax of the executioner. This is the assertion of one of Germany's leading ax-men. When not engaged in decapitating condemned prisoners, the executioner, Groepler by name, takes in family washings. DUBLIN. The Irish League of Na

Bureau of The Kourier, 215 G. St., N. W., Washington, D. C.

In the next Congress there will be

il9 dry votes in the House of Repre

sentatives. 11 wet votes, and 5 which

at this time it is impossible to clas

sify to a certainty. In the next Senate there will be 74 dry votes, 21 wet

votes, and one vacancy.

These figures were presented at the annual meeting of the board of temperance, prohibition and public

morals of tb Methodist Episcopal

church by Tx.'. Deets Pickett, research

secretary.

This board adopted resolutions in

dorsing, aamong other things, the

Cramton and Stalker bills. The for mer would set up an independent pro

hibition conference bureau, which was

indorsed as "placing upon the pro

hibition unit greater responsibility for

prohibition enforcement. The latter bill is described as being designed to

increase the penalties for prohibition

law violation and for other commend

able purposes."

Other resolutions condemned prize

fighting participated in by profession

al prize fighters on government reservations; condemned lynching; in

dorsed prohibition of transportation

through the mails of indecent mag

azines and books specializing in sex

appeal; called for a stricter enforce

ment of the Eighteenth Amendment

in the District of Columbia; congratulated the Secretary of the Treasury and the Prohibition Commissioner for "checking" liquor smuggling, etc. Dr. Pickett said in his report: "There are 20 magazines in the United States specializing in sex appeal. Massachusetts has handled this situation

better than any other state, and it is believed a system of co-operation with governmental officials can be perfected in 1925 based upon the preview policy of Massachusetts, which will drive most of these magazines out of the mails."

Recommendations for the transfer

of prohibition enforcement to the De

partment of Justice, or the setting up

of a new department directlyunder the President were made, and it was urged that we place prohibition agents

under civil service because it is said

that some of the worst appointments have been made by wet senators who have purposely obtained such appoint

ments to bring discredit on the work

Recruits. This explained thehundreds of husky and for the most part ordinary looking young men whom I saw drilling in articles of faith in one df the theological school of that country. There were exceptions, of course; but the majority of them appeared to be grossly animal, and better suited to the prize ring than to attempting anything on the spiritual side of life. However, the prize ring furnishes nothing half so brutal as burning the impression of devils'

and fiends into the brains of children. The pity of It is that these young peasants, or most of them, who are still crowding in successive classes the capacity of the divinity schools of that poor, distracted country, are still immersed in the belief of their childhood. They have never been outside of its influence. They are full of zeal and quite prepared, after ordination, to go forth with fierce enthusiasm, many of them to this country, and hammer hell fire and damnation and all the rest of it, into the rising generation of the church, in a way they will never forget. From such schools, iii every country, recruits are constantly pouring who, when required, are pushed out along the frontiers of the church, among . tribes and races of men in all lands; and, while their faith remains unimpaired, some of them ardently undertake missionary assignments requiring both self-sacrifice and courage. It is doubtful, however, if even "heathens" have ever benefitted, physically or otherwise, by these harbingers of Rome who, In some cases, have registered heroism worthy of a better cause. t Veterans After years of service, priests generally. In imitation of their eldefs, acquire resignation, and say nothing, even perhaps to each other, of their waning faith in the Christly character of the church, or their growing belief in its real purpose of worldly conquest. Wrhen they arrive at that stage, which most of them do who think, or who are allowed to think, they have become round-faced, or heavy-jawed, and are smiling amid the abounding comforts of middle age. All they can do then, or all they may care to do, or SVen dare to do, is to "Continue on to the end."

The Rank and File. Pity, too, that the well meaning among the masses, who "are held in leash" by this insidious power, have for the most part no chance to eecape. Caught as they are when babies in arms and branded by the church, as securely as a ranchman in the west brands his calves, what chance have they to escape? Whereever they roam, ownership is asserted on the authority of the brand. At no time in life are they permitted to read anything which the church has censored and condemned. In one European country, I was told that even Shakespeare is on the proscribed list. That,, I believe, has not been attempted In this country yet. The church Is too wise for that. Its advance Is always within the limits of manifest safety. Public opinion in any country is only ignored, when the church becomes supreme. All They Need. Literature provided by the church for a price, to be sure is everywhere deemed sufficient for its followers. Nothing enters into it which could in any way disturb their faith. On the contrary, it is all. carefully edited with a view to holding them firm in their allegiance and not letting a single individual get away. The "Lives of the Saints" used to be, and perhaps still is, in great favor with the church, as an exhaustless storehouse of devotional reading. It used to fascinate men. There is that about It at least. Nothing in fiction is more alluring, or impossible. I used to wonder, however, how the church could make saints out of some of the material it had to work on. As I understand it now, the church is the only power, either in heaven or on earth, that makes saints; so I suppose the material doesn't matter. There is no competition. I know it can make a saint even out of a person whom it previously burned as a witch, for it did that only a short time ago. But it doesn't seem quite fair to God, for the church to go on making over reformed reprobates and witches into saints, and establishing them in heaven with halos and all that. It is to laugh not sarcastically, nor sacreligiously just pitifully! Blind Patriotism. All the noise we hear about religious liberty in this country is, so far as the Roman church is concerned, nothing but noise. It sounds to me like the voice of

one with newly 'acquired plunder, shouting "Stop t thiefl" while diverting a crowd of honest dupes along I a false lead. i Never was tyranny exercised on such a scare, or better organized for effect, than that which the church of Rome wields over millions of people in every civilized country upon earth. Like a malignant growth in the human body, it extends its fibres gradually outward from a common center, penetrating to the very extremities of its victim. Thus have nations been invaded by an infection from Italy. They grad- . ually lose their vitality and become reconciled to poverty and superstition, out of which the supremacy and splendors of the church always arise. These are -, the. visible symptoms. Drain the resources ot a nation into a parasitic church, and chain, the minds of Its people- to it, and where, within the limits of such a dominion, can religious liberty be found? Is It religious liberty to bind the intellect of a child to a fixed belief to choke out of him at birth every vestige of individual thought on all matters pertaining to God? Don't talk to me about religious liberty even in thin -country! I was too long a religious slave. Yes," I know I came out of- it, and escaped from the devil . and dogmas that surrounded me. I suppose other can do the same. Many of them would like to, but they are afraid they hug their chains they would

fight to retain them. A Sign of Divinity! The perpetuity and growth of the church, ag&jjst' all opposition, has often been pointed out to me by priests, a3 a miracle in itself. It Is pleaded as an evidence of divine favor. My reply to this has not only

stopped, but stunned them. The reply has always been, and is now, that civil laws are enacted to protect dumb animals from cruel and inhuman treatment;

and that if a state, or a nation, would protect children in the same way from cruelty far more excruciating, by compelling the church to let their minds alone and keep its hells and its devils out of them, until they attain the age of reason, this miracle would be found to be as fraudulent as all the others. There has never been an answer to that. No "answer Is possible. Aid from Below. Religiuos liberty is a patriotic fiction shouted trAJL the housetops, while the minds of each succeeding generation are being shackled with the manacles of religious slavery. So perfect is the system that parents, who have never known religious freedom, are compelled by this despotic power to assist In fettering the minds of their own offspring. Thus the victims of today become the willing co-tyrants of tomorrow. Religious liberty of which we boast is a howling farce; for religious slavery among us is not only a fact, "but -an inheritance. Unnatural Accomplices. In the days when we held men and " wonfen as chattels, a black skin was the badge of slavery; but It was never more so than the brand which the Roman church stamps in infancy on the millions it holds in religious bondage. A crime committed against a child, for the purpose of enslaving it for life, is neither lessened nor excused by the consent or cooperation of it enslaved parents. Because of that, it Is all the more diabolical. Conclusion. Religious liberty In this country, or In any country, can not be predicated on minds that are forced Into ecclesiastical moulds, before they have ever been allowed to function. If religious liberty means anything to us as a nation, or is worth anything to us as a sentiment, or if we want to put some truth into the boasting we do about it, the defenceless children of America must remain religiously free. In no school in this country, either public or private, should a child be taught anything but established .

facts, pure English, national loyalty, sound ethics, equal rights under the law for all human beings who are safe and sane, the folly and brutality of war, the Golden Rule of the "Savior," and the Inevitable consequences of his own conduct. When he has passed the staee of adoleseenco. let him choose hts own faith

That, and only that, is religious liberty. The half has not been hold. THE END. Those who desire in complete form this most in teresting story of "The Dark That Failed," send order with one dollar to The Kim Publishing Co., 208 Quinsej St., Brooklyn, N. T.

DEPORT WET ALIENS

(Special to The Kourier.) Kansas City, Kan., Jan. 5. Deportation of aliens who violate the prohibition laws of America is advocated by Judge H. S. Roberts of the city police court here. Judge Roberts has requested the Representative from the Second Kansas Congressional District, to investigate the naturalization laws to determine whether deportation Is now possible, and if not, to introduce a bill to provide it. Judge

Roberts said: "Seventy five per cent of the prohibition violators brought before m are foreigners, the majority of them unnaturalized. The law governing deportation should be made drastif enough to take away the cltizenshit rights of those who have been natur alized and deport them, too. If ot fenders were ' deported I think viola tions would decrease." Severe punishment, including fine and jail sentences, often both at once, has been administered to liquor law violators In many cases by Judge Roberts recently.

Conciliation Test to Be Made Prior to Getting Into Court. .

(Special to The Kourier.) El Paso, Texas, Jan. 5. The tide of Japanese immigration headed for this hemisphere will go to Brazil, in the opinion of James R. Sheffield, Ambassador to Mexico from the United States. The western coast of Mexico is unsuited for them and all economic conditions are against a migration of any size. He gives this view of the situation after a careful study of the agricultural and industrial conditions and after many talks with a Japanese mission now surveying Latin America. The Japanese claim Brazil offers many more advantages than Mexico. The climate is more suited and there are areas around the large cities where the "small gardener" may obtain fertile land and do a profitable

produce business. "Let him that is without sin among you cast the first stone." Since none

of us are perfect, let us all be toler

New York, Jan. 5. An experiment of importance in judicial procedure is being tried in the Ninth District

Municipal Court, Manhattan. This will be the first formal attempt by a New York court to reconcile parties

justice, at the meeting of the .Amer

if the experiment is a success, a
