Show Some Things Worth Thinking About If You Know, You Live, If Not You Die Read and Ponder When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, nor to record your good works, nor to record your good works nor to seek after commendation; when you can truly "love" to be "unknown" that is victory. Now if society was organized and managed, not primarily as now for the special benefit of the few, but for the welfare of all the people, and goods were produced, not for profit for part of the people, but for the use, service and welfare of all the people, then everybody would have an amazing abundance and what a happy, peaceful world we would have. Rev. Gerald B Winrod who is classed as pro-naszi and one of the chief haters and defamersot Roosevelt, says: "The blackest black-est night of human history is just ahead. The whole world, including our own country, is rushing toward a climax of hor ror." And, we believe, that he is helping to make just that. He quotes a lay prophet as saying in 1907: "Five wars await America in the future, of which two will be very violent Civil wars, that end with the breaking up of America into four or five smaller federations." God forbid. Mr. Winrod gives al so this warning; "We sre facing a situation in which money promises to lose its value, with our nation being carried into chaos." May Providence save the country. But the signs are all too ominous. With a million hearts as full of hate toward a race and the people's elected administration as is Rev. Win-rod's, Win-rod's, anything may happen. The black, seething hate that is abroad is awaiting its hour to strike. Take a tip from us, all ye who hate: Christianity and peace and good government cant be built up and maintained on foundations of hate.Never In regard to the times ahead there are three of our former for-mer presidents, a dozen so-called prophets, several real prophets pro-phets and all of the Biblical prophets have foretold of revolutions revolu-tions in this and other countries. The truth is that the war now raging is but a prelude to internal trouble and civil war in the diffsrent countries. Politiciant and statesmen are no aware of this and therfore they cannot stem the tide. John, the Revelator saw this present time as plainly as the living see it today. He beheld the economic and ecclesia-stical ecclesia-stical systems of the old order coming to judgment, beginning with old Russia's revolution. He plainly bhows that the entire system of Babylonic commerce and worship will be destroyed. Heintimatea clearly that such destruction must precede the establishment of the new and better order and infers that sometimes some-times the wreckers are as necessary as the builders. He saw the dictators of today and outlined their mission. Take his, word for it; his word will not fail. When you are forgotten, or neglected orjpurposely set at" naught, and ou smile inwardly, glorying in the insult or the oversight that is victory. When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your tastes offended, your advice disregarded, your opinions ridiculed, and you take it all in patient, loving silence that is victory. When you are content with any raiment, any climate, ; any society, any solitude, any interruption that is victory. ' W'hen you can bear with any discord, any annoyance, any irregularity, any unpunctuality (of which you are not the cause) thatis victory. Five million soldiers are said to lie dead and wounded in the dust of Russia as a result of the cruel and savage war now raging. One half ol ihera perished because of the mad ambi tions of one man who wanted more land and oil and wheat and minerals. The other half died in defense of home and ! country and went down as courageously and heroically as men have ever gone down for a cause, j All of the boys who have died in the shambles of this satanic war have gone down as martyrs to the New Day and the New Age that waits behind the dawn. Their blood will become the seed of new flowers of freedom, new and more widely diffused liberty, new hopes and higher aspirations. The decaying bodies of all these dead will fertilize humanitys soil for a growth and harvest of peace and good wiil that shall make that New Earth which the great prophet saw from his cave on the Isle of Patmos. Adolf Hitler says he will put down plutocracy. If he does that he may be forgiven much. Plutocracy and autocracy autocra-cy are the two things in this world which will be but piles of 1 debri when the New Age is ushered in. They must go. They I have stood between the people and an abundant and happy ! life all too long. We give here a historic picture of autocracy an one of the earthly kingdoms, to show how the wealth of , which the people are robbed is squandered in the centera. The i ruler sparkled with gold and silver and jewels almost like the the noonday sun. His throne was of silver, his crown and scepter of gold and jewels. His lords were robed with white ermine. Great gold chains hung upon their chests. They were clothed in cloth of gold. Their tables were laden with the best foods of the earth and goblets and some of the dishes were of gold. All about them was luxury to the limit, exstra-vagance exstra-vagance without bounds. The wealth produced by the toil and sweat of the poor workers was squandered and wasted. It is the same at the top in all the Kingdoms of The world. A similar condition existed with the ruling clergy of the great church. And it exists in a somewhat less lavish manner among the extremely rich of today The wealth produced by the many is forever flowing to the hands of the few. The ninety nin-ety and nine are still toiling arid dying that the one may be wrapt in luxury. But soon it will change and the people will have an inning and justice and truth will reign. God haste the day. In building highways today two men with a machine can . do more than 250 men could do with shovels and picks, etc. In steel making 2300 men are now doing the work formerly done by 6000 men. In pig iron ork one man now does the work that two used to do. Two men can now take twelwe tons of ore from a lake steamer and load it on to railroad cars in three minutes. A carload of coal can be unloaded and placed in a steamer in two minutes. One man can now spin i 1600 pounds of yarn in a day, enough to make 3000 shirts One man can weave yarn into 400 square yards of cloth in a day. Hand knitters cannot make more than 100 loops per minute while knitting machines make 500,000 loops per minute. minu-te. Flour milling machinery increase the work of the hand-tool flour maker 8,000 time In the cigarette field 20 000 workers work-ers now make about 120,000.000,000 cigarettes while in 1919 it took 24,030 workers to make 53,000,000,000. And during these years the farmer's prices for tobacco were decreased by 70 per cent. A MAN FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE Mr. Rueul F. Alder, candidate for the office of City commissioner, commis-sioner, is first, last and all the time a man from the ranks of the common people. He is of them, with them and for them, by nature, by association, and by circumstances common to all poor and struggling people. He knows by long personal contact con-tact their needs, their desires, their hopes and aspirations. He could not go back on them whether in office or out of it because be-cause he is so very closely related to them. His interests are their interests. His success would be their success. To help themselves and their cause the common people have but to unite in one body and support the man who is 100 per cent for them. Now is the time to do just that. Unite and vote for Mr. Alder. He is capable. He is honest. He will stand by you to the last ditch. Those who are for the interests succeed because they keep the people divided. The strength of r the people is in unity and now is the time to unite and vote ' for the man who is one of you, one with you and always for ' you. Vote on October 21 for Rueul F. Alder for City Commis- j sioner. (Paid political Advertisement.) Queer things about our ears. Dr Donald A.
