The Savannah Press says that "li -
gers ’s doctrine of suicide, of course
is infamous It has wrought con
siderable havoc already among weak
and morose beings There is no tel
ling where such vicious teachings
may lead. Ingersoll believes that
man is a ruoftt, floating in the air
without divine creation, and tending
to no immortal destiny. To destroy
such a speck of humanity is no crime
To destroy one s seif may even be
desirable. It is not hard to see t >
what vicious ends such doctrines
tend. To justify self-murder may be
a step in the directio i of homicide
and manslaughter.’’ With all due
respect to Mr. Ingersoll, we would
suggest that he practice what he
nreaches

With chang Wun citing

And fierce Wan Wee Woo Warn,
There was a sword tier gnn,
But each brave one
A tomtom wildly beat
And they all cried '‘Boo!'’
At the foe and flew
To a safe and snug retreat.
There were Si Hung Chug
And Ki Wu Lung
And bold chee chi chocham.
No blood was spilled,
No one was killed. '
But they all marched home once more.
And to til's day tell
How they drove pelluiell
The foe from the sacred shore.
There were Li Hung Chung

And bold chee chi cho chain,
