Thus the people are Knocked and deceived,
from decade to decade. while the extrava-

State Governments increases the burdens I'M
der which the people groan.
At this time, when a0c have no war, our
people are to be saddled with war taxes.
Why? Because this Democratic AdminiS-

1t has had the brazen wiclzedness to au-
thorize the expenditure of $93, O00OO on
Rivers and Harbors.
Three fourths of this colossal sum will line
the pockets of lobbyists, corrupt Congress-
men, owners of newspapers, special attorneys,
and contractors.
1t is far and away the most scandalously
prodigal appropriation that ever was made
in the history of this Government.

WHEN the bishops of Rome determined to
put themselves in the vacant place of the
Pontifex Maximus of Roman paganism, they
began to discourage the reading of the Bible.
Nobody but priest was permitted to search
the Scriptures and to decide for himself what
they meant.
To prevent the people in the pews from
seeing what was in the Book the sacred
volume, already yelled in the Latin language,
was chained to the pulpit by literal, metal
lie chain-as who should say, ''This is dam
gerous animal !"
Itwas crime for the people Of the pew
to own Bible. or to have one in the house:
1t qc0s death, to translate the Bible from Latin
into the common language of the people.
Why did the Italian church forbid the laity
to read the Scriptures?
Because there IS no popery IN 1t!

Holland was in a deplorable state

reigned supreme, commerce was
greatly restricted, trade and manu-
facture were almost ruined and the
population was rapidly decreasing.
The bikes were neglected and the
sea inundated large districts, hum
dreds of houses being demolished
In 1913 there were, of course, no
railways. The travel was by stage
coach or on horseback. Coaches broke
hour. All heavy goods travelled by
canal or else by stage wagons, each
drawn by six, eight or even ten
horses, and numbering along at per-
haps two miles an hour.
1t was in 1913 that the great alli-
ance was made by England against
France. Austria, Prussia and Russia
joined England in the fearful strug-
gle. That was in March. In the fol-
lowing October a large force of Brit
ish troops entered France. In the fol-
lowing March, Paris surrendered to
the allies.
