But the year of grace 1912 finds
riches fiourishing on the one hand
and poverty struggling on the other,
the same as in the days of Nebuchad-
nezzar, Croesus, Nero, Confucius,
Socrates and Plato.
But the wreckage Of the failures OF
past efforts are to be gathered up, and
auickly,-almost in the twinklins of
an eye-are TO be bundled up, and
poverty is to be routed from her
strongholds, and made to take wings
and fly away.
How is it to be done? Why, easily.
All that one has to do to bring about
the realization of this great problem
is to vote for Mr.. Eugene Debs for
president
This is absolutely true, for he tells
US so himself.
Here is what he says We quote
from the last issue Of the Appeal to
Reason:
in a single bloodless battle You
can put an end to poverty; you alone
possess the key which will unlock the
letters that bind you TO life OF un-
requited Toll
Either you must vote for capital
ism. with its ever increasing poverty
and prostitution for the workers n
with its army. its militia, its police
and its courts, with which it enforces
its bestial conditions upon you-or
else you must vote for socialism,
which proclaims industrial peace in
place Of war-pIenty in place OF pow
erty-love and chastity in place Of
vice and prostitution"
What clap-trap, yet deluded thou
sands believe it?

MILLIONS WILL PRAY FOR PUB
Lie SCHOOLS SEPTEMBER

All the world will pray for the pub
lie schools on September s. From at
least $500 pulpits in America and as
many more in the other countries a
simultaneous prayer for free educa-
ton will go up from millions OF lips
and the event will become an annual
custom if the efforts OF the National
Reform Association prevail
This universal prayer is a definite
part of the tremendous movement
which will eliminate in the second
Worlds Christian Citizenship Con
efrence, TO be held in Portland. Ore
gon, June 20 to July 6, 1918. which
has been in the process of organiza-
ton for nearly two years past
Education generally and the public
schools in particular loom up large in
this work and many of the most prom
inent educators in the world will dis
cuss the whole vast subject of eduea-
ton from the Portland platform.
September Sth has been selected
as the date for this universal prayer
because it precedes the opening OF
the public schools in the United
States by only a few days, the sun
day schools are resuming in large at
tendance and the teachers OF both are
keyed up for their years work. and
stand atune with the world. and this
simultaneous prayer is to bid all OF
them Godspeed in their work.
No such simultaneous service has
ever before been attempted and this
event marks an epoch in the organi-
cation of the great second Worlds
Christian Citizenship Conference.
DR.. w. H. Dodge, pastor OF the Pres
byterian church OF this city. is 4
member of this association. and has
been named one of the 2500 clergy
men TO lead in this prayer thai is TO
be uttered by millions for our public
schools

ARMAGEDDoN-lTs MEANING

We have been asked the meaning
OF the word, "Armageddon."
1t means, according to the detini-
ton Of Hitchcock's Complete Analy-
sis OF the Holy Bible" a hill of
fruits; the mountain of Megiddo;"
and "Megiddo" means His precious
fruit; declaring a message"
Armageddon, or the mountain of
Megiddo, was the great battlefield Of
Palestine.
In Revelation occurs the follow
ing:
For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles, which go forth into
the kings OF the earth, and Of the
whole world to gather them to the
battle of that great day of God Al
mighty
Behold, l come as a thief. Blessed
is he that watcheth. and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and
they see his shame.
And he gathered them together
into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue, Armageddon.
And the seventh angel poured out
his vial into the air, and there came
a great voice out of the temple Of
heaven, from the throne, saying: 1t is
done.
And there were voices, and thun-
ders, and lightnings; and there was a
great earthquake, such as was not
since men were upon the earth. so
mighty an earthquake and SO great.
And as the great city was divided
into three parts, and the cities OF the
nations fell, and great Babylon came
in remembrance before God, to give
unto the cup of the wine OF the fierce
ness of his wrath.
And every island fled away, and
the mountains were not found" Rev.
1C:1420-
At Armageddon were fought the
great battles or the hlSnOn, JoZreel,
Gilboa and AIegiddo.
Armageddon has been fought many
! times since then in the imagination
of men.
Just before our civil war a great
book was written, entitled, Arranged
don" The time had now surely ar
rived for the BATTLE of that great
day of God Almighty
It was respectively fought at York
town and Waterloo, and at many
times over and over again in the field
of politics.
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Roose-
welt has conceived the idea that he is
the personifcation and the incarna-
ton of Armageddon. That with him
and his hosts will arrive and will be
fought the battle Of that great day
of God Almighty"

OUR CAPlTALlSTlc CLASS

Our socialist friends are in arms
against what they term our capital
istic class and their big guns are al
ways unlinbered against them.
Who are our 'capitalistic class?'
One of the first things done by the
founders of this government was a di-
vorcement of church and state, and
the abolition of the laws of primogen-
iturc
We have no titles; no landed aris-
tocracy; so who forms this capitalist
ic class?
Our estates do not descend to the
first born, so as to be kept in perpe-
tuity and, as we have no titles, what
becomes of all this cant about the
capitalistic system and the capitalistic
classes?
In this country the working man of
today is the capitalist of tomorrow.
This is so because the door of OPP
portunity is open alike to all.
1t is not so in any other country
upon the face of the earth

"PUREST WATER IN AMERICA"

Regarding the cleaTneSS of titles In the
NlimbreS Valley, it may be said that the
records show as yet comparatively few
transfers that are not direct from the gov
eminent Three years ago, the entire area
Of the valley, outside of the corporation
limits was practically government land.
This land was mostly filed on under the
Homestead and Desert acts, in blocks of $50
or 800 acres to the individual. Under the
Homestead Act, the entryman must make
certain improvements and actually reside
upon the land for term Of years. Thus
certain amount of improvement and resi-
dence is absolutely. required before patent
will issue. This, of course, has tendency
to encourag edevelopment and makes specu-
lation on large scale practically impossible.
The Desert act is still more stringent
regarding Improvements. Under its pro-
visions, at least one dollar per acre per year
must be expended in improvements looking
to the ultimate reclamation Of the land. At
the end of the fourth year after the entry is
made it must be shown that One-eighth Of
the land is under actual cultivation, and that
a water supply has been developed sufficient
to reclaim the entire tract. Failure to full
fill these conditions throws the land open to
contest and there is never any failure Of
contestants when the entryman is remiss
in carrying out the letter of the law
The Government says, in effect, here is
land if you want to live on it and improve it;
but we have no land for spectators.
The greater part of the land in the
Nimbres Valley has been taken up under
one or the other of these acts. It is obvious,
