THE OMAHA DAILY BEE! National Chamber of Commerce.
TO aid every administration by cordial
coeieratlon. to draw together In a com
mon bend th business men of Amerlea
It defense of thitr sood name, And In the
qi ration of an Instrumentality through
which they may speak as a Whole with
A ithorlty to the etfteutlve and to oen
Cress relative to the thing which butt
ness needs; to create a force comparable
In every reeoect to the orgnIcd forces
Ot labor And Of BsrleullurA.
Theso tiro tho avowed objects of
the National Chamber ot Cotnmerco,
an outlined by Its president, Harry A.
Wheeler of Chicago. It Is easy to
figure out a wide field of usefulness
for tho organization no long as It ad
heres to Buch principles and refrains
from dabbling Into politics, which
has brought grief to tho National
Association of Manufacturers. With
such egregious blunders to- guide It,
the new body of commercial cluba tho
country over should be able to avoid
tho pitfalls of ruin.
President Wheelor makes the as
sertion that do per cent of business
la honest. It is unploasdnt to think
otherwise and It should be easy
enough for tho buslnors men of the
nation to confirm this by actual
demonstration. Business la not to be
condemned for exorcising a lively and
direct Interest In government, for It
hng a duty in that direction and It
should bo able to realize its purpose
of giving cordial 'co-operation to
every administration. Out alt that Is
done in this relation must bo done
in the open; not In the dark, nor
oven in the twilight.

Inherited Religion.
BOUTH OMAHA. July H.-To the Edi
tor Of The Bee: Will "W. T.." who at
tempts to scarify and mutilate Mr
Wooater's "A Confession ot Faith," lend
us several moments of his valuable tlmo
to relieve a tew uncertainties concerning
his Christian religion? Herein do 1 admit
my sublime 'ignorant, but perhaps from
W. T's." boundless stock of sophistica
tion my craving for wisdom may be realised!
First-Acoording to "W. T.s" expressed
doctrine of Chrlstlanlay, Ood Is all-
powerful creator of heaven and earth,
In short, the universe. He preaches
Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men."
yet permits the triumph of things Infer
nal and hellish where he ordains a blessed
peace. Would an all-powerful God do
this?
Second Religion Is essentially a mat
ter of heredity. The desire for religion
has expressed Itself In man from hit
earliest, most primitive state, To wooden
gods; to myths ot legendary nettles; to
totem pole and Idol he has made his
shrine,
Suppose (for th sake ot expression)
thAt a youth had grown to maturity,
reared In Ignorance of religion In any
form that his mind was a virgin ex
panse in which the seed ot creed had
never fallen. Then, were he presented
with the several religions, and told Of the
exlttenco of the various gods, would b
accept the doctrine or Christianity with
out hesitation, in lieu of the pagan creed?
Would not this youth find something very
Incongruous in a god who would, being
all-powerful, tolerate th existence of a
satan to subordinate his (God's) own
commandments? Who would create only
to destroy; who would permit tho foul to
conquer the fair; the impure to disease
the pure. In a god, who would rack
his people with sorrow and torture; who
oould witness th triumph of bad ovJr
good? Would thlt youth have admiration
tor a god who would offer the prise ot
Immortality for piety upon eArth, to the
good-And cast the bad Into a never end
ing hell?
Third-Would "W. TV' lAbel the China
man before his Idol; the ancient Grek
before his Apollo, Or th Esqulmo be
fore his totem pole, a heathen? And it
so, by What right? Where did h get his
Mligion and whence cam that of the
pagan? Both from centuries now dead)
They have been passed down to us-pos-tcrity
of perished races, generations old
And M. T., Ilk the Chinaman, accepts
his because his father did, because his
father's father did! He may change h(
views upon anything save religion, that
he dares not molest Someono else (he
would say far wiser and abler than I)
thought out his doctrine ot immortality
And, naturally or Unnaturally, he accept
It without question. And he calls any
other man whose views do not coincide
with his. a "heathen."
I do not disparage his religion, but
Simply wish to Impress upon him th
fact that th Christian religion, in the
ey&S et a non-believer, is subject to those
Same limitations W T, finds In Mr.
Wooster's wooden god. If the latter
gentleman (WoOster) chooses to lay his
prayer to such 'a god, it. will In no Wild
affect W, T.'s worship of his father's
god, for it is the moral affect of religion
rather than the god's worshipped, which

The Real Pleasure of Life.
OMAHA, July if To the Editor of
The Bee: You know ther are soma
misfortunes In this world thAn can
not possibly bo avoided, ho matter how
wle or how careful we may be, and no
matter how eafe the passport we carry,
It will at somo time or other be chal
lenged. We may be able to procure a
great many pleasures In life; and be wise
enough not to desire such As Are beyond
our reach, yet thero Is always Something
lacking which cannot be supplied wthout
having recourse to the consolations ot
religion. But there are som calamities
that overtake us simply because we are
cartss and indifferent, and when we
are Crushed by suoh disasters as these,
we ought to blame ourselves, with a
few exceptions a man who reaches the
ag Of 0 years and finds himself horn
Us and entirely destitute should shoulder
the blame as cheerfully as h can and
not curse society. Few men are so hard
pressed that they cannot saVe anything,
and even so small a saving as 15 or 20
