LUCAS WRITES AGAIN.
Editor News:

Editor News;
/ thought when I wrote my short ar
ticle on government ownership would
not write any more until I went west,
but as Brannan and his little two by
four have called me such hard names,
l will write once more to defend my
self.
They have called me names that no
gentleman would call me. They got
mad at "Wild West for turning a
''scab' over to them, and say he knew
it before hand. That is not true.
wild West" did not know me before
wrote to him, and as for me being a
scab, that is o. K, would rather be
scab than be murderer. Now, Mr.,
B., which are your Do you and your
little two by four agree with me or
take the other side" / will tell what
think of the labor union. They have
three elements that l am against.
They destroy lives, they destroy prop
erty, they uphold dead heads, ones
that are too lazy to work, and the un-
ion makes the operators keep these
dead heads when they will not work.
The last named item caused all the
strikes when was in the union. To
leave those three items out the union
would be the grandest thing that ever
came among the people. Now, Mr.. b.,
do you and your little two by four mp
hold these three items2 If you do, you
are a murderer at heart. If not, you
are scab the same as am.
The little two by four says l hate
Methodists and Mormons. l hate every
thing that is false, but let us see who
hates them the worst l have broth
err that is a Mormon Elder and s'Un-
Gle Tom said something hard about
the Mormons in the News of date June
15. 1 sent the paper to my brother
and he sent me challenge to send to
the News for "Uncle Tom" l will
send it and let the old man sweat some
more. The reorganization Of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints is the only true church on earth
today. Affirmative, j. M. Lucas.
Will you. stand by the church that
you are member of l will deny
you. The Book of Mormon is His
tory of Ancient America, and our BIZ
BILE ON the Western Continent, and a
fulfllment of Isaiah 80, and Joseph
Smith the fulfillment of Isaiah 54:16.
Now what do you say, "Uncle
Tom" Any church that you are
member of, it does not matter what
church, will debate with you, If
you will agree to use only the Bible.
Answer thru the News
He said 1 was blackleg and trait
or. I will now give one of my endorse
ments that l hold.
''We, the elders of the Church of
Christ, worshipping at Mt. Zion, Ind,
hereby endorse Bro. j. M. Lucas to
meet any man on any question that he
sees fit to affirm or deny, and he is
christian gentleman.
JOHN T. MCDANIEL,
PETER CONNER.
Aug. 6, 1906. Pratt, Kans.
To whom it may concern:
That Mr.. J. NJ Lucas has been a
christian gentleman in this neighbor-
hood ever since he has come here. He
has showed christian turn.
E. E. REED,
Kans.
Now, these will show what kind of
a man am. Can the little two by
four do as much'
Now for Mr.. B. s kingdom. He says,
"Pray ye for the kingdom to come"
The Bible says the kingdom has come.
Mr.. B. says not so. Jesus says, ever
lily say unto you that there be some
of them that stand here which shall
not taste of death till they have seen
the kingdom of God come with pow
er. Mark 9;1. From this we learn
two things. First, that the kingdom
was to come during the life time of
more than one of those WI o stood pres
emit at the time, which ought to forev-
er kill the theory that the kingdom
has not yet come. Second, that the
kingdom was to come with power.
Now, if we can find the time when the
power came, we will have found the
time when Jesus said the kingdom
should come. Turn next to Acts 1 IS
and there we will learn when the pow
er was to come. ''But We shall receive
power after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you." Now since the com
ing of the Holy Ghost was to bring the
power, it was also to mark the time
of the coming of the Kingdom, that
is of the coming of Christ's rule lido
on earth. for the kingdom
was to come with power. Now turn
to Acts aid. and there we have this
language, "And when the day Of Pen
tecost was fully come they were all
with one accord in one place and sud.
denly there came sound from Heav-
On as of rushing, mighty wind and
it filled all the house where they were
sitting, and there appeared unto them
cloven tongues like as Of fire, and it
sat upon each of them Now this is
The time when the kingdom was to
