EDl TORlAL
ANTI-ZIONIST ARGUMENTS.

The poorest and weakest of all
arguments against Zionism is that
Palestine is just now the worst pos
sible country for Jews to settle in.
Granting that Palestine is as bad as
it is painted; that would only be
an argument against an aimless i'm
migration of smaller or larger num-
bers of Jews who go there to i'm
prove their economic condition,
even as others go to America or
South Africa, or Australia. For
such a purpose we should never adj
wise poor Jews to go there, even
after the war is concluded. Cali
fornia is far better country.
Zionism aims at the restoration
of the Jews as a nation in Palestine,
a nation that shall employ all it's
energies in the development of the
country, the development of all its
industrial and commercial posi-
bilities, and the unfolding of it's own
national-cultural life. Can any
sensible person maintain that Pale
slime, which once upon a time
flowed with milk and honey, is TN
fit to be the home of an energetic
nation, supplied with all modern
knowledge and devices for the de-
velopment of land, its industries,
and it's resources? See what has
been made of the arid or swampy
regions of many Of our states, and
how much more could be made Of
them should the pressure Of popula-
ton require it. Is there any limit

RELIGION NOT BELIEF.


Nothing has done the cause of
religion more harm than the insist
ence of religionists, and especially
of the official guardians and spokes-
men of religion, on belief as an es-
sential of religion. In the minds Of
the mass the tendency has been to
make mere belief as the equivalent
of religion. No matter how absurd
the belief was, no matter how heav-
lily it taxed peoples credulity, its
sanctity was not to be assailed. Nay,
the maxim of some theologians was:
81 believe because it is absurd"
Mans happiness here and in the
hereafter was made dependent upon
such belief. Believe, and you are
saved refuse to believe, and you are
everlastingly lost. Thus was the
supreme Importance of belief en-
phasized.
The mischief wrought by this in
sistance has been, first of all, ply
steal suffering, resulting from the
effort Of some to cOerce others to
believe that which was to them in
credible, or contrary to their better
knowledge. The process of reason
ing pursued by the oppressor was:
"Since your salvation depends upon
such belief, | have right to cause
you temporary pain, provided can,
by converting you, secure for you
eternal bliss in the hereafter" All
religious wars and prosecutions were
the poisonous fruit of these efforts
to force belief on the incredulous.
Secondly, the mischief consisted
of a great deal of intellectual harm,
intellectual stagnation or unneces-
sary struggle and bitterness. For
as soon as one came forward with
a new idea, a new discovery, a new
truth, overthrowing one or the 9TH
er belief, he was assailed by all the
forces superstition could muster, and
the progress of knowledge and truth
was thus retarded. Almost all great
and independent thinkers were in
former ages prosecuted and harassed
by the opponents and upholders of
"belief."
Thirdly, it caused moral mischief
as we'll, beside the immortality Of
persecution and Of Stacking the
truth. Often when men were fore

up belief, they thought themselves
religiously stranded. They felt as
if they had suffered religious bank
ruptcy. They found themselves
tossed about by the waves of un-
certainty and doubt and denial, with
out any safe anchor in life. Such
was not the case with philosophic
minds, but with those of weaker
fibre, and smaller calibre. And all
because they had been taught to
identify belief with religion.
Why should belief occupy such
an important and sacred place in re-
ligion? The sources of belief are
ignorance, imagination, imposture
and fear. When mans knowledge
is limited, and his imagination
vivid, his mind is receptive to belief
Not knowing the history of human
ity's past, or the reason and cause
of things; not having any idea of ma
tural law, he imagines agencies and
causes at work that never had any
reality, and he believes in their exist
ence He believes, for example, that
disease is caused by evil spirits tax
ing possession of the body, and the
final cessation of vital functions is
brought about by an angel of death.
Then, along come shrewd people
who take advantage of such ignor-
ance and credulity, and confirm their
dupes in such beliefs. That has
been the evil side of priest-craft.
Some religions, new and old, flourish
even now, because some cunning in
dividuals find it source of profit to
confirm others in their credulity.
Fear of the evils resulting from un-
belief does the rest Thus has be-
lief secured for itself such firm hold
upon peoples minds.
AS matter of fact, what merit is
there in mans saying: I believe?
He simply attests his ignorance
thereby. On the other hand, elm
mate all belief, and religion still re-
mains unframed, undiminished, un-
furnished and unblemished. For re-
ligion is the answer to the eternal
question: What is my place in, and
my relation to, the world? It says:
Your place, your relation is divine
ly fixed, fixed by a superior, God
controlled law. From that relation
spring all our duties in life.
The answer religion gives is not
matter of belief, but of conviction
based on experience and knowledge.
When man acts contrary to this
divinely determined relation, harm

Des Moines, June 28.-"T do hereby
acknowledge to have voluntarily en-
listed this 9th day of June, 1916, as

law, unless sooner discharged by prop
er authority And / do solemnly
swear that / will bear true faith and
allegence 10 the United States OF
and the State of Iowa, and
that | will serve honestly and faith

ers of the President of the United

is subscribed with the understanding
that credit will be given in the eXecu-
tion of this contract for the period
which | have already served under my

me God"
Above is the oath of allegiance
which all Iowa National Guardsmen
must swear to, while mobilization is
in process at Camp Dodge. Those who
have taken the oath are now in the
service of the United States, under the
of the President of the
United States.
Few men have refused to take the
oath. for refusal put them in the
"quitters" class, and Camp Dodge is
no place for a gutter" or the man
with yellow streak"
Two men of Company L, Third In.
fantry dropped out OF the ranks, when
the oath was administered. While
their fellow men were being mustered
in, other militia men who had taken
the oath stood nearby and jeered and
tainted them. Company l. men were
so angered by the "yellowness" of
their comrades that they Immediately
set about to punish them for the
shame brought upon their company.
The two men were stripped and taken
to the company bath house, where
their bodies were painted yellow with
iodine. Afterwards stove backing
was applied and rough scrub brushes
were used. Following this the men
were placed in ring and made to
fight each other.

Des Mones, June 2S.-The first
shipment Of new equipment for Iowa
guardsmen in Camp Dodge was re-
Ceived this morning when three ord
nances from Rock Island arsenal were
delivered here. All during the week
shipments of equipment will continue
to arrive and it is thought Iowa

I'VE now have enough rifles to
equip all our infantry" said Col.
George Morgan, head of the regular
army mastering staff now in charge
of Camp Dodge. This morning the
regular army officers were uncertain
as to when the First regiment will be
ordered to the front. Colonel Nor
gan stated the regiment was ready to
move on short notice.

orders at Chicago. He will arrange
for railroad equipment and all other
details for entrainment."
In the infantry company only 100
men will be taken to the border Gen
eral Allen announced today Practi-
cally all SO companies in the brigade
have equipment for 65 men, which
leaves 30 in each company to be pro-
yided for before they can go to Mex
leo. General Allen was notified by
the war department the maximum
age limit was raised from 80 to As.
Medical examination eliminated a
few of the guard, but Major Kent Mel
son of the United States army medi-
cal corps said today that the Iowa
guard is an unusually clean and
healthy lot of men. In physical ex-
animation Company G of Waterloo
took first honors with 104 men quail
flying out of total of 10S. Company
H of Manchester suffered the most
with II men eliminated. Most of
these were disqualified on account of
being under weight. Defective eye
sight ranked next to weight as a
cause for elimination.
Following their medical eXamina-
ton and vaccination for typhoid and
smallpox, all of the guardsmen will
be required to make finger prints of
both hands, which will be used as a
means of Identification in the pace of

Four prominent American mining

armed Carranza guards prevented the
mob from dragging the Americans off

They reported heavy Mexican troop
