have any actual existence. Why? Let
us see. If material data are real, they
must have their place in any true
philosophy. If all conclusions drawn
from them result in the discovery Of
IAN abyss Of chance and an abyss of
ignorance" 1t is evident that any
scheme which includes them is pre-
destined to unfruitfulness: we cannot
change the conclusions without alter
ing the data; we canot exclude the
data and pretend to perfect synthesis:
Let us assume, however, that the ma
terial data are unreal, and We are at
once justified I'm excluding them. But
what an assumption! Moreover, If we
exclude them from our philosophy,
what proof--nUt merely logical, but
practical-can we offer as to the cor
rectness Of our position?
Let US deal first with the purely
logical considerations. If a certain
class of data is unreal, class in all
respects its opposite surely must be
real II, however, the unreal data
have to us all the effect OF reality
even to the exclusion from our con-
seriousness OF any other data whatso-
eVer-it is clear that we must reverse
every conclusion founded on such data
in order to perceive the reality. How
many times in dreams we have chung
desperately to the edge OF precipice,
feeling that to let st was to be dashed
to pieces, only to Ndiscover that by
letting 80 we were not only not dashed

you and ultimately vanishes from your
consciousness-or, rather, your con-
seriousness changes as a mans con-
seriousness changes when he awakes
from a dream, the change being quick
or slow in proportion to the degree OF
understanding on your part and to your
faithfulness in your application of the
knowledge already won. Precisely be-
cause the proof offered is practical and
not theoretical, it can never be proof
to YOU until you have found the proof
in YOUR own experience. Possible, cred

appeal to you theoretically, you cannot

The Ideal Philosophy
Those who have proved it. even in
the smallest degree, know that here is
the ideal philosophy; true in its prem
ises. logical in it's conclusions-above
all. useful; yes, infinitely useful, in the
proofs that it gives in men and women
rescued from sin, suffering, and cramp-
ing limitations; a Science that does in
deed loose the bands Of wickedness"
and "break every yoke" Such Sci
ence as this is indeed the future build
ines' to which Taine alludes; not the
Temporary scaffolding' of German
philosophy, which Is vain attempt TO
give to matter the harmony and CO.

which YOU say a true philosophy must
offer. will this give that this philosophy
Is the true one?' That depends. Do
YOU deny the reality of all that you
perceive through the five senses, ana
affirm the existence of God as the IN
finite, and hence the only, existenceY
II il is a mere verbal utterance, or
merely a mental admission that SUCH
a theory exists, you may as well spare
yourself the trouble, for no proof Will
be forthcoming. You have neither de-
MED on the one hand nor affirmed on
the other-you have merely dallied ten
tatively with a purely hypothetlcai
proposition.
God the Only Noumenon
If, however, deep down In your in
most consciousness has come the aDid-
ing conviction that the spiritual alone
is real, because 1t alone can be the
expression OF God, who Is Spirit ana
therefore that the material is the I'M
real-baseless, futile, whimsical as any
dream of the night-then practical
proofs of the truth of this philosophy
are Forthcoming, and what are they?
Nothing less than the blott1ng out, IN
your consciousness, of the belief tnat
sin, sickness, death, together with all
forms of discord, are entities; that
they are, or can be, the phenomena
whose noumenon is God; and since the
conviction abides that God is the only
nournenon, all that you recognize as
unlike Him ceases to have power over

To the clear and uplifted thought Of
our Leader Mrs. Eddy, the conviction
that "the testimony of the material
senses is neither absolute nor divine"
(Science and Health, p. 269), revealed
to her what the German philosophers
failed to perceive; namely that all
material phenomena are alien from,
and unsupported by, the eternal reali-
ties Of Spirit Do you ask for further
testimony as to the genuineness of this
Science? Take your Bible and read it
in the light of this Science that you
are investigating See how phrases
which have been the unsolvable riddles
of the theologian stand out; clear,
plain, full of a new meaning, radiant
with promises that can and do have
their fulhllment here and nowl See
how this Science Sits the chaff of mis-
apprehension and misconstruction from
the precious wheat of those great
Christian doctrines that have endured
through the ages-endured because,
rightly apprehended, they declare eter-

of Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus the Christ
and you will see that this Science finds
its full and complete demonstration IN
the life and works Of him who was

Useful as Well as LogieaI

1t is clear that any truly scientific
philosophy must be logical, but the
most logical theory will not appeal to
the rank and file OF humanity unless
IN addition to it's purely logical sound
ness, it offers proofs Of its utility; its
usefulness is, indeed, the only proof
that will give 1t any weight with prac-
teal men. MilPs theory, based upon
material data, is admittedly sound and
self-evidently useless. The German
theories soar higher to fall farther;
lacking practical proof. they, too, lack
practical application. Curiously enough,
when we come to look into it, we see
that these two systems, directly OPP
posed as they are, both admit that the
material consciousness, however limit
ed and imperfect, has a real existence
that must be recl1oned with; indeed,
with Mil It is the only existence that
can be reclxoned with; while the Ger
mans admit such an existence only to
exclude it from the data of their philo-
sophy At the same time, however,
they seek with their philosophy to ar
rive at a concept Of material existence

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN COUNTY
AND CITY OF WAsHBURN
FRIDAY. AUGUST 81, 1908.

The. steel range peddlers are
making their headquarters at Brad
dock just now, and we are told the
gold brick artists are doing con-
siderable business. 1t is about
the thinnest Montgomery Ward &
Co. game possible to imagine. The
only inducement they have to offer
is the time they give on their
goods, and when you consider that
the obligation must be l%iquidated
some time, with added interest,
that is really no inducement, and
anyhow, your local dealer usually
extends credit. The peddler sells
you a cheap, inferior article, which
like the Yankees razor, sis made
to sell.p He is fishing for suckers
with a bait that has the lightning
rod agents beat a mile. He tells
a nice story, and is we'll paid for
telling it, but he turns your paper
over to the bank or a collecting
agency, and it must be met prompt
ly when due.-Braddock News.

The Turtle Lake Suuau.

Monday 4 p. m. Editor LeCount
received word from his attorney at
Underwood to load the Republican
onto a car and ship it out of the
state, as the best means of settling
with his debtors. He was advised
by many to wait till just a few
hours before train time so as not
to allow the trio (Billows, Keim
and Blumhagen) to get official
assistance, but LeCount was in a
hurry and began work at once.
About 5 p. m. Politicker Keim, in
the barber shop ready for a shave,
saw the dray back up to the Office,
grabbed the barber's Ratchet and
rushed to the rescue of his beloved
Turtle Lake Republican, and with
many fourishes of the tomahawk
commanded his enemy to evacuate.
The unseemly noises disturbed the
village so that the people came
hocking out. Keim could not
show his authority for interfering
so little Vernie Russell and Leon
Smith, whom LeCount had en-
ployed to assist in the moving, took
the honorable politicker out into
the street and the little Jap VERNE
with an angelic grin on his face
joyfully rubbed the Russian pol
iticker's nose in the sand while
the first load was showed out.
Keim by this time was willing to
let the Republican be moved so
VERNE allowed him to get up and
retreat. Keim sent his little son
jake out after Billows. Billows
arrived about shutdown and found
a big majority of the citizens and
a number of farmers busy with
wrenches SC re wdrivers making
away with his pet newspaper. Bill
lows demanded explanation.
Smithy explained and informed
Billows if he could show proof
that he owned five cents in the
Republican he would leave it alone.
Billows said he didn't have a cent
of his own money in it. Smithy
then informed his massiveness
that he was a Russian bear and
ordered him to amble out. Billows
ambled out. Billows got busy,
drove to Washburn and swore to
affidavit that he was the sole owner
Of the Republican news press, and
Sheriff Beck in discharge Of his.
duty came to Turtle Lake early
Tuesday morning, stopped ship
ment, unloaded the car, placed ii
back in the building and took
charge Of the Republican himself.

Billows in order to get charge Of
the Republican had to furnish
bonds. G.. A. Wagner and g. NJ.
Blumhagen went his bonds for
$1,000, which is double the value
Of the plant. LeCount has refused
to accept the bonds and this
charming story will be continued
until after the funeral of the Re
publican. It ought to be buried
now-it stinks awfully. But LIE
Count should have his wages
Turtle Lake Wave.
We got the impression some.
where that Charley Billows was
put in as master mechanic, section
foreman or superintendent of di-
visions of the Republican by l.
B. Hanna e Co. In fact, we still
think so.
Billows is a great man alright.
but he claims to be a Democrat
and that he has always been a
Democrat. He got the appoint
ment as postmaster under a Re.
publican administration, Eresum-
ably through Mr.. Hanna, and
wonders now where he it. We
are wondering some ourselves. Still
when we come to think about it.
and taking into consideration the
way the Republican was actually
run, we can see how even a Demo
crat might be useful to L. B. Han
ma & Co., for a while at least.
Billows simply got his reward in
advance and was expected to do
things, which he did as ably as he
could. In fact, he did real well
for a while, or as long as the
remittances were regular.
Where Billows fell down was on
telephone and wireless messages.
It was a new thing to him and he
had no idea that talk Of this
kind was so expensive. Now the
printer demands his wages.
Billows, as superintendent Of
construction, was supposed to get
his cash from headquarters and SO
long as the flow was unobstructed
and continuous, the cost of wire
less messages cut no figure. Today
Billows is a plain, everyday Dem
ocrat, just as he always was, with
a printer on his hands demanding
wages.
What can be done under such
circumstances? Where is Hanna
& Go. today? Won't it please
remit? Even if it shouldn't be
known just where it came from, it
would be acceptable and no ques-
tions asked.
