CRAPSEY DENOUNCES
SUNDAY AS PRIMITIVE
Noted Author Suys Evangelist
Stirs Savage Sentiments,
Not Religion
The religion that "Hilly" Sunduy
preaches Is that of prlmltlvo man when
ho Was emerging front cavagrry to bar
barism, nnd It stirs religious emotions
such ns prevailed Inter, when heretics
nnd witches were burned, tho tcllglon
that prevailed when tho nncicnl Catholic
faith broke down and the llagelhints went
through Europu scourging themselves for
their sins and Indulging in every kind
of licentiousness nnd obscenity, nccord
Ing to Dr. Algernon S. Crnpscy, noted
author nnd lecturer, In a statement to
day. "Sunday's conversion hero and there of
a drunken man lo soberness is tempor
ary, but tho evil ho docs, which Is tho
lowering of the conception of (!od, the
Ignoring of truth, the dethroning of
reason and conscience Is far-reaching, and
In n measure fatul tn the well-being of
Immunity as n whole," said Doctor Crap
sey. "PHOKOUN'DI.Y IfSNOItAN'T."
"Sunday Is profoundly Ignorant of the
sclentlllc conception of thr universe and
of tho moral and Intellectual outlook of
tho educated, highly developed type of
man and woman," Doctor t'rapsey added.
"Primitive rcllgon wits based on fear,
and 'Hilly' Sunday Is a primitive. Such
evangelists us Sunday dethrone reason
nnd conscience nnd suspend critical und
moral Judgment."
"It Is a cardinal "mistake to suppose that
religion is tho guardian of morality." con
tinued Doctor Crapscy. "Tho opposite Is
true. Unless coullned by reason, religious
emotions nro the most destructive that
can assault tho life of man. They are
closely akin to tho sexual and pass easily
from ono to tho other. There Is no more
common occurrence than the violent and
uncontrolled outbreak of sexual emotion
following u religious revival. Ttcllglous
emotions nro based on fear, which Is cruel.
A man who Is afraid has no pity. He
strikes nt and kills tho object of Ills fear.
It is to religious emotions that wo owe the
burning of witches, tho outbreak of flagel
lants after tho failure of ' the ancient
Catholic faith and all tho other cruelties
that have accompanied religious mania
from the beginning.
IGNORES DIG THINGS.
"Mr. Sunday lays llttlo stress on what
was primary with Jesus. He Insists on
minor moralities and Ignores major doc
trines. He has been accused of reviving
tho worship of tho devil. 1 believe that
tho devil holds a. larger place in tho
thought' and speech of Mr. Sunday than
does tho Almighty God.
"I believe his Intellectual and moral
limitations are u help rather than a hin
drance to Mr. Sunday In preaching the
doctrine he does. The vocabulary which
ho acquired In the saloon with his boon
companions when he was a ball player
enables him to meet tho crowds on their
own level. He has nothing of the sanity,
the ploty of Wesley, nothing of the strong
common sense of Moody, but ho has the
power that comes trf one who, unre
strained by knowlcdgo of conscience, uses
and appeals to the uncontrolled primitive
passions of men.
"In my Judgment, modern-day evangel
ists have turned fiom the teachings of
Jesus, and I fear that people will go back
and live In tho age when men thought of
tho forces of nature an evil nnd worshiped
devils. ' If that should come to pass we
will have nil tho cruelties and evils that
followed such a stato of mind."

Soldiers of France and Fills Their Sweet
hearts With Woe
An order is racing like wlldllre through
tho French trenches in northern Krnttce.
It Is not nil order to prepare for n
great spring drive. It's an order for u
great winter shnvo. Hereafter all French
troops must bo clean shaven.
Ves, it's too true, tho French soldiers
sigh, as they onsually drop bombs Into
the neighborly Gorman trenches and
think of Jeanne and Marie back home

pull their mustaches. Ah, the parting

Mario nnd Jcniino i oil their eyes admir

AUT0IST WHOSE CAR KILLED
WOjIAX (JETS YEAR IX JAIL
Court, in Imposing Sentence, Assails
Reckless Motorists
Another verhaPhttnck on reckless auto
ntobilltsts was made today when Judge
Davis, In Quarter Sessions Court, sen
tenced Morris Simons, 22 years old, who
drove ah automobile which killed Mrs.
Adele Andrews. 70 years old, of Syden
ham street, above Westmoreland, to one
year in Jail.
The sentence was Imposed despite a
plea for leniency mudo by counsel for
Simons, who was convicted of Involun
tary manslaughter on December 2.
Judge Davis said that Simon's inability
to control the car was not n mitigating
circumstance.
"Your Ignorance of the mechanism of
tho machine," he declared. "Is not to be
considered as an excuse, for If that was
the case you had no right to attempt to
drive tho car. You cannot Jeopardize the
lives of pedestrians by jour Ignorance.
It Is becoming n habit for some chauf
feurs to dash past trolley cars after the
latter liavo stopped to let off passengers,
nnd it Is unfortunnto that more of these
reckless drivers nro not arrested."

A bulldog, minus one eye, slightly hard

than her husband. Sho only paid $23 for
the dog, but In a suit tor support in tho
Desertion Court, Mrs. lavls, of 5.100 Ris

she really wanted from her husband was
the dog, which he was keeping In Pitts

back.
"My dog U hard of hearing." ho said,
"hut he Is so affectionate."
Davis Is a traveling salesman. 'When
ho said that ho was willing and anxious

"Why does your wife seem to prefer
the dog rather than you?" usked Judgo
Brown.
"There you have me," replied Davis.
"Sho kisses and hugs that brute enough

Tho Indignant husband protruded his

OF RESERVES
HITS AT "BEEF TRUST,"
SAYS CAPTAIN MILLS
Fat, Beefy, Fiat-Footed, Round-
Shotildcred Policemen Shifted
for "Good of tho
Service"
NO, IT IS NOT POLITICS
Police Shifts Ordered
for "Good of Service"
Kipiht reserve policemen were
sent back to districts by Captain
Mills because;
Four were too fat and flat-footed.
One was round-shouldered.
One Was bent with ajre.
Two were "inattentive to duty."
Other reserves are now swinging
dumbbells and punishing the
"weights," including their own.
No, polities was not the reason, after
all. It wns something entirely different;
and because of It reserve policemen to
day are bending over 43 times nnd swing
ing their arms 82 times.
Thnt Is to suy. tho reason eight re
servo policemen were sent back by Su
perintendent Robinson to patrol beats in
districts "for tho good of the service"
was that they were too fat, beefy, Ilat
footed, round-shouldered, bent with ago
or Inattentive to duty; unit because of tho
encroachment of paunches they wore not
handsome any longer nnd were not pleas
ant to gnzc upon as they stood on street
corners supposedly attracting admiring
glances (that is one of the principal du
ties of a reserve).
When Captain William 13. Mills, of tho
Ira (He force, announced the real reason
today und hinted that moro "weeding out"
of the "beef trust" would follow, reserves
all over the city began swinging their
arms and taking deep breaths. Some of
them invested in dumbbells and others be
gan pulling at the "weights," or taking
sprints around tho block In panicky efforts
to reduce.
"Some of the reserves arc too big and
corpulent," Captain Mills said. "Some of
them are so heavy that tho weight of their
bodies causes fallen nrches. Wo want
well-muscled, athletic, agilo men on tho
street corners and 111 tne mounted squad,
too. Somo of tho men nre becoming too
heavy for their horses. So you see that
tho shift wus really for 'tho good of the
service.' "
Four of tho eight men so far shifted
wero too fat, ho said; one wns rotind
shouldcred, one wns too old for traffic
duty and two were Inattentive to duty.
More are to follow and tho vacant placc3
will be tilled by men selected from the
sqund of 2T "perfect" men collected from
tho various districts during tho Christ
mas holidays to augment tho reserve
squad, In tho pulchrltudo of which ago
and fat wcro creating havoc.
Tho eight reserves transferred nre Wil

Long experience in quality tailor
ing is not alone sufficient to pro

New ideas must be injected constantly and we be

plus the conservatism of experience strikes the ideal

67 years' experience and keen young men around us

TX It won't do to pooh
pooh the statement
that next season you'll
pay three to five dol
lars' advance on the
original prices we sold
these Overcoats for
all season; yoit will, if
you buy an Overcoat
then!.
CThere arem't
enough dyes in this
country today to meet
the demands of cloth
manufacturers. Lin
ing, canvas, silk
thread every iota of
stuff that goes into a
coat is dearer than it
was a year ago and
going up! There's only
one logical thing to
do for the man who?s
going to need an
Overcoat next season
beat it to Perry's at
once and forestall the
advancing prices!
This season's
$15, $18, $20 Overcoats,
next season's sure pricps,
$18, $20, $25
In this sale, $13!
