WHY NOT NOW -

We have received. why Not
Now q" a book By Charles Gilbert pa
Wis. Al. ID. of Chicago. III and pub
lished by Richard c. Badger. The
Gorham Press. Boston. Mass. The
author gives abundant evidences that
he has drunk copiously from the
fountain OF knowledge as we'll as
bathed ia the river OF wisdom. If We
are 60 judge by the language which
he employs In this truly remarkable
production. Let as see: He describes
life as follows:
Life-human life-is the highest
recognized manifestation OF cosmic
consciousness-the physical realiza-
tion OF Cod.
And again:
Along every avenue of terrestrial
lie. We behold the inevitable work
ing OF the great law of evolution
Certain events are approaching GER
tam epochS are eliminating. and Ger
tain great crises and changes are
as fixed as the decree OF fate.
This law is working for the uplift-
ing or man, pushing him onward 10
the GROWING glory Of his high des-
tiny. Man may lift his puny head
In impOtent resistance and raise the
feeble cry of protest; he may orga.
nize armies. erect barriers. and with
the thunder OF cannon and at the
horrors OF war attempt 20 stay the
march OF progress. but evolution
moves forward. revolution follows
revolution and after the tempest, we
have the calm, the new growth, JUS
tice and the triumph OF truth
DR.. Davis has certainly stated the
law of evolution. He has recognized
the hand Of God in history and he
has given in succinct and emphatic
language the creed of every truly
great man. who has enunciated
great principles and faced the mob
in advocacy OF those principles. In
dealing with race prejudice in this
truly remarkable work. he says:
| The tendency of one human being
10 assume superiority over another
is remnant of cave life. IL belongs
10 animal existence, and has nc
place in the spiritual dispensation
Hate is the offspring OF selfishness
sired by ignorance. II is natural fol-
many of the lower order OF animals
TO be antagonistic, and when they
meet, to engage in deadly combat
This same hatred of one man fol
another can be traced back to the
earliest dawn of history.
DIR. Davis makes the following
drastic statement:
Today selflshness rules mankind
There is not a just government OF
the face of the earth. There Is not &
true democracy existing among men
Our social, political and business In
stitutions are rotten. Hypocrisy
shows it's hideods grin in every In
stitution that man has founded. We

and killed here last night by Chief
OF Police William McVeigh. but was
eXonerated at the inquest, which the
coroner held today. Covolitch was a
new arrival. He commenced work in
the mines early in the week. but he
did not like the job. and demanded
his pay. He was told that he would
have 10 wait until pay day. Angered.
he went to the store OF the Buxton

attempted 10 arrest Covolitch, who
struck at his head with the pick. the
blow falling on his arm, making an
ugly wound. COvolitch kept up the
attack. and when McVeigh saw he
could not escape he shot the infuri-
ated foreigner in the leg. which fail

Jones says he slapped Fisher when he gave him the lie" That he did not care what discipline was used on the pupils, but he did not think that his family should be brought into the matter.
 Fisher says that the Jones girl was reprimanded with four others. and that he did say that aristocracy was not recognized in the College; that the only aristocracy that figured there was "aristocracy of good con- duct and brains' AS far as is known this is the first complaint ever registered against Fisher as an instructor.
