KELTON Kelton, March 1!>.?The sun is shining beautifully this morning and we are having some real March weather now. The land is too wet to plow today, but I guess some of the farmers are plowing. I have not learned whether the freight trains are idle or not, but if the promised strike is carried out it will be a tenfold greater calamity to our country than the closing of all ine seas to me i nueu states. I Mere are plenty of men in this country who have not had a good night's sleep in several months, fearing that our country will not he dragged into the great war unless it was when the United States severed relations with Germany or when she decided to arm merchant vessels to defend themselves. 1 guess those patriots are getting restless on the delay of some German submarine sinking one of our vessels, hut I say he patient, your anxiety may he eased one day soon. Dear readers, did you ever see or hear of so many international lawyers as we have now. They are on the highways nn/l nn f lin enrnnr r\C 4 o* ../v/v4n ....x. v.. v.?v VVMIIVI v/i me oct mure numerous than the Pharisees were 1000 hundred years ago in Jerusalem and that country preaching law and righteousness. They even had honest men deceived, such men as St. Paul and others, for Paul was a lawyer and thought he knew the law and it took God to sniite him blind before he could see right and T say that some of the big lawyers will never have their eyes opened until thev wake up in hell because Clod does not do as he did in those days and there are some men as honest as Paul was thinking they are doing Cod service, but the most of them are after money or fame and they never will be satisfied. I.ook at Alexander the Croat, when he had overrun or conquered the whole world, sat down and wept because there was no other work! to subdue, and that is the way of the money and fame-seekers. One of the greatest sins, if there is one above another, is deception. Let us take sacred history. Way back in the beginning Jacob deceived his good old father and got Esau's birthright, and what was the result? Tt brought on him sorrow and grief, for his own sons conspired toirether and cold nnp nf Viio sons, Joseph, one of their own brothers, to an Epyptian band. Friends, you who don't read the Bible much, pet your Bible and read the whole story, for it is one of the most beautiful stories in the whole Bible. I mipht po on throuph the Bible to the days of Christ and point out the deception practiced, Ananias and his wife, Judas with a kiss, etc. I mipht write papes of this preat sin. T.o.ok at it today, practiced horse tradinp, farmers, merchants, doctors, lawyers, all of us more or less included. If vou do not know what you are buyinp. Watch those $1.48, 08c and 23c merchants or else you vv;B be licked and wiici iijniLUMis ui iiitrn are anoui the same. I used to peddle a little and how hard it was to keep from telling lies and I guess I told some, for you never know one to run down what he had to sell. Back to the war: State, national and international polities and men are generally about the same on an average. I have always understood the teachings of government to he free speech, hallot and free press, but do we have them? No, unless they are in line with certain politicians. What will become of those 12 or poor United States senators that did not see and think as the rest of them? They are rated as unpatriotic and as the big dailies nut theni you call that liberty? If the Democrats expect to remain in power they had better show courtesies to the Progressives, for they hold the balance of power and Senator LaFollette is one of their leaders. Professor Smith last fall said in a speech at Union to the U. D. C.'s if the Democratic party did not measure up or carry out the principles of the party that Wilson would be the last president we would have. A wise phophecy. We need not go into national politics to prove what a few or certain set of men will rule or ruin As Pen Tillman of South Carolina said when he was governor. We all know how a few men tried to block everything he tried to do, even when a corporation lease had expired they abused him because he wanted the mining territory free to all, too bad to think of, but it was men who wanted to rule or ruin. Now you hear great international men cry aloud freedom of the seas in time of the greatest of wars and at the same time have got all neutrals cut off from them, selling anything to their enemies with the pretence if they capture all ves pels they will pay for them. Do they pay full value for the goods and if so suppose they capture a cargo of cotton on its way to Germany, and it is worth 30c and is worth only 22c in Liverpool, so the shipper makes eight cents per pound, less the freight and we, the producers, lose and the speculator makes. Is that just and reasonable? And I say, nowhere does the freedom come in the big moneyed men gets it. How they do sympathize for the poor women and little children and at the same time trying to make more on the plea of liberty-lovers. What a reckoning there will be one day! It will be like the rich men mentioned in the Bible. G. T. G.
