JOE SMITH A FAILURE

Inventors OF religions fail nine
times out of every ten in a few
years. Only seventy-flve years ago
Joe Smith, the Norman religion in
ventor, put out his new creed and
gained many adherents. The system
was uniquely gotten up, supposedly
on a sound basis; but in the time
indicated above il is positively ex-
ploded. AS the new students Of
Egyptian symbols, and translators
OF the hieroglyphics have gotten to
work; many Of these Of the mormon
religious sect, have exposed the er-
rors Of the inventor.
At present there is a loud cry
against the promoters Of this false
religion. Many of the so called
elders who go about the country
engaged in the propaganda Of the
Mormon religion, are ignorant Of
the real error that they are present.
ing to the public. They are re-
ceived and entertained by good and
innocent people through the noun
tains who have not had an oppor-
tunity TO investigate the system
farther than the travelling repre-
sentatives may choose to enlighten
them.
IL is time that the good people
are warned against these impos-
tors. They should not receive the
welcome in our homes that our es-
tablished ministers of the true
Gospel are due. They act as poison
in our families. The literature they
scatter about the neighborhood can
not do other than injure the peace
and harmony that exists in your
little church. Do not be deceived
by their preaching; as it sounds
good to the minds of those who have
not given it any thought. Back of it
all is the diabolical errors of its
founder.

ARMENIANS ANNIHILATED

Is il possible that the Oldest and
largest Christian people of Asia
Minor is to suffer complete extinc-
ton at the hands Of the diabolical
Turkish regime? During these war
times when the voice of the Chris
tian civilization is drowned by the
tumult OF war, this very thing is
taking place.
The deportation of two millions
of Armenians is now being COM
pleted. They are being scattered
throughout the length and breadth
of Turkey, and being subjected to
the most tragic treatment. Much of
the cruelty and unspeakable tragic
results of this move is under
strict censorship in our own country
because of the present world con-
ditiOns.
All Armenian males from iS to 80
years of age are nOminally in the
Turkish army; but the fact of the
matter, the distrusted ones are vir-
tullay prisoners of war and in many
instances are in a system of slavery
remote from the field of battle.
According to a ruling last spring
most Armenian men paid the mill
tary exemption tax and those dis
qualified for service on account of
sickness suffered wholesale i'm
prisonment. As soon as this had
been done. deportation began. The
few men left, women and children,
the aged, the sick went on the road
together at a few hours notice, be-
ing driven in herds to their fate.
In some cases these herds of Chris
tian people were forced to journey
for sixty days in the desert, with
scant provision, if any for food and
water, the alternative being forced
conversion to Islam, ami Cor the
women a life of immortality.
Will christian civilization allow
all this and worse to go on without
raising her voice in protest before
God and humanity?

LAYMENS MISSIONARY MOVE
MENT

Today the great National Cam
paign of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement is to open its first con-
vention in Chicago to last till Sun
day night. This is the first of a
great series OF conventions, num-
bering seventy five to be held in
as many cities in thirty-seven
states. These are to consist of men
only. The slogan adopted by the
committees in charge is Every
Man in Every Church" and the pur-
pose of the conventions is TO En-
list the Church to undertake her
whole task"
The main obiectives Of the cam
paign are as follows: To study the
missionary progress Of resent
years: to consider new world con-
ditions and Americas enlarged re-
sponsibility; to project plans look
ing forward TO our whole missionary
duty; to increase the spiritual
power and efficiency of the local
church; to inspire laymen to take
their part in the extension of the
Kingdom Of Christ.
No greater movement has been
set in motion than this one When
the men of the church once gel
wakened to their duty, and learn
how TO use their dollars and bust
ness sense along with their en-
thusiasm for the salvation of souls
the Kingdom of Christ will receive
a boost that never before has been
known.
This movement is not a denom-
national one; but an interdenom-
national organization; so you my
brother may have a living interest
in this great and good move for the
extension Of His Kingdom.

REPORT OF WISCONSIN
TAX COMMISSION.

Justice In taxation can only be at
tained by strict compliance with the
law This is proven by universal ex-
perience. There is no other way. With
rare exceptions, when an assessor vio-
lates the law and sets up a standard Of
his own he either inAicts an injury
upon some individual taxpayer or else
he does injustice to every other tax.
payer in the State. As a general rule.
every step he takes outside the
straight and narrow path provided by
law leads TO greater and more glaring
inequalities. and in many cases
degenerates into a mere travesty on

There are two reasons why the
general property tax has failed In

effectively. Secondly. because Of a

the fact that strict enforcement would
result In a still greater injustice than
now prevails"

The Country Editor

Representative Harold G.
Kissinger of the Illinois gener.
81 assembly, is the champion of
the country newspaper editor
In q recent debate he had this
to say:
"There is no one nearer the
people in the rural communities
of our state and in our smaller
cities and towns than the coun.
try editors. They protect the
interests of their citizens. They
boost the town they live IN
They contribute time and en-
ergy and money to the upbuild.
ing Of their home communities
This nation needs our small
towns and cities. They are the
foundation of our prosperity
and our civilization. They are
what the few great cities we
have live off of. They are the
strong fundamental stru turt
upon which we must build our
business prosperity and stable
government. Former Ambas.
sodor Bryce. the great English
economist, said that the menace
OF America was her great cities
and that the stability Of the
American government and the
future of American civilization
rested upon her small cities and
towns and rural communities
Il we want to protect and up
build the country community,
let US vote in favor Of the coun
try editor, for they are among
the staunchest, truest, hardest
working friends Of al Of the
splendid institutions We have
throughout the STATE"
