REPLY 10 SWEE kAND1-D. +,
Sweetland, a subscriber to your val
liable Forum, is an ardent advocate
of the law of nOn-resistance. Such
men are, very rare, despite the fact
that it is the most important law in
the Christian religion.
Interpreted, the law is thus; If a
man smite you on the right cheek,
turn unto him the left.
AIrayed against this law is the
Jewish belief, that if man smite
you on the right, reciprocate and hit
the man on the left.
Now it seems strange, does it not,
that all Christian countries do not
believe in the law of non-resistance?
The question arises; Why? And the
answer is, because such a law is
against human nature; for it really
does more harm than good.
/ could easily illustrate this point
in many cases, but the best iAustra-
ton is to behold France trying to re-
gain Alsace-Lorraine. y
Mr.. Sweetland consoles himself
with the thought that Pres. Wilson is
a believer in the law Of noQ-resis-
lance. Such is not the case. The
reason why our president doesn't
want war with Mexico is because he
believes we would be lighting for the

WORK AND me- WORKERS.

We working peoples idea of heaven
is a place where there is plenty Of
work. That is what we want Ham
mer and bang and breathe dust and
smoke every day except Sunday, and
on Sunday we don't know what to
do with ourselves.
We dOn'tSgiYe darn what becomes
of the things our labor produces. All
we care about is that we can keep
on producing them. We construct a
fine building and then beat it to some
other locality and do it over again.
We never stick around and live in
them, for we don't care for such
things. All we care for is work and
plenty of it. We twist ourselves all
out of shape producing anything and
everything and hand them all over to
those generous gentlemen who are
so kind as to give US work.
And when these gentlemen are
swamped with goods and can't find
any place to dump them and are
thereby compelled to make, us stop
working we are in an awful fix. We
go to the barred door of the factory
and pound on it and beg for work.
We may be cold and hungry and
have 10 place to sleep, but all we de-
mand is work. Only give US work.
We ask for no more. A monkey
might suggest that we have a picnic
with the good things that are pack
ed away in the storehOuses. But that
idea couldn't get through our heads.
Our program reads like this: Work
like the dickens to get a little money
to buy a little food to get a little
strength to work like the dickens to
get little money to buy little food
to get a little strength to work like
the dickens to get little money, and
so on.
When our children get big enough
to stand without holding on to some
thing we put them to work. When

"Cabinet Timber"

With single exception, every men,
Der of President Wilson's cabinet be-
gan life as a boy in some small coun-
try town. Making the best use of early
opportunities, they developed their tai
ents by study, steadily working their
way through school, and in most cases
through college toward that broader
experience in the affairs of life which
ultimately fitted them to become "cabi-
net timber" Their example should be
an inspiration to those who, being born
and raised in the small country town,
are likely to consider their surround
ing as unfavorable. If youth has
ambition and energy, he will surely
find the gate of opportunity open. In
no part of the world have there been
finer illustrations of the development
of self-reliance, prudence, concentra-
ton, and those other traits of charac-
ter than in the country town or vii

Shortening Bird Season.


Pennsylvania Is the latest of the
states to take up the question Of short
err open seasons on game birds, and
good reasons for curbing the activities
If hunters are presented in a statement
If the game commission now being sent
to individuals and sporting associa-
lions.
Birds are being exterminated under
the present laws, and the remedy pro-
posed is in restricting the season to
one month and changing the date until
the birds are full-grown and better
able to take care of themselves.
What particular hardship would
there be in ordering close season for
two, three or five years and then seeing
that the law Is rigidly enforced? Quail
and other game birds need more pro-
lection than the existing laws have
given them, and If all the states would
agree upon an adequate program of
conservation the country would be
benefited by the saving of the food
products now destroyed by Insects

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0meS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
iltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
