Bound to the cross at Salem
Beneath the noontide heat
Now tread the fields of crisom
With sorely wounded men
1t is the Gentle nations
That cruelty again.
The pierced hands of Jesus,
The pierced, pierced hands.
The story of their stuff ring
Is told through all the lands,
But to the grooming millions
1t seems An empty song
While Dives behold the nailprints
And mocks him midst the throng.
h broken heart of Jesus,
Poor broken, broken heart,
The cry of little children
From teeming mill and mart,
And kahaPs bitter weeping.
The moan of mining men
Comes to the Great Creator
And Jesus weeps again..
The thirst, the thirst of Jesus,
The bitter, bitter thirst.
The WEAKNESS and suff' ring
With which he still is cursed,
The fox finds through the ages
Its den, the bird it's nest,
The ~tenetnents are reeking
And Jesus cannot rest.
The grief, the grief of Jesus
For Christian Pharisee
Who builds the stately temple
And names it Unto Thee,'
When widow and the orphan
Cry out to God for food
On lillied lea and mountain
Christ fed the multitude.
The blessed, blessed Jesus
That men could treat thee thus,
Two thousand years thou'rt treading

No cnurchly schools of pride,
No 1.-THE of Greed or Manmon
Can heal the flowing side.

We stand with shame beholding
The crucitixion still,
And scan the Eastern hilltops
For light to break again
SO thou no more may suffer
On Crisom fields with men.

STICK TO THE TRUTH.

In n state that has had such a won.

It's existence, the temptation has al
ways been present for those who had
an aX to grind 10 be continually inn
pressing the outside public with a
sense of its wonderful achievements.
Not every one Of these has been care
ful to observe the truth Some have
attempted To deceive, and others
have simply been careless In their
statements without any malicious in
tent The proyerbial history Of
boom" towns Is familiar to all.
Their existence Is often OF the sky
rocket order, and too often not even
the stick is left when the last ac-
counts are squared up. Kansas at
one time suffered acutely by this
method Towns sprang up overnight
and grew to be pretcntious cities in
a jiffy, all the result Of hot air. In
many cases there Is not now even n
ruin TO mark the spot where these
ephemeral enterprises once held
forth. Oklahoma has had some ex-
perience in this line tho IN most
cases the evil has simply been Of
overriding good thing. but the pen
atty has been incscapablc. cities
that would have grown uuinterrupt-
ediy have been forced to undergo a
period of depression because they
had been oyerddvertised and nature
demanded u restoration Of balance.

a POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

1t seems hardly worth while 10 no.
tice every alleged invention that
claims public attention in a time like
the present The men at Washing
ton who are in charge of such things
nave been swamped with PROPOSITIONS
of all kinds, good, bad and indiffer-
ent, looking in some way toward the
better prosecution OF the war. Multi
tudes OF devices for either DESTROYING
or circumN enting the submarine have
been suggested, but as far as heard
from none Of them has been adjudged
worthy of adoption and test. I-p 10
recent days the impression has been
that the most important thing was to
destroy the effectiveness Of these
wasps of he sea. There is no deny
Ing that 1t is still important and.
should a scheme prove successful in
that line 1t would just about wind up
the war in a short time. But such a
thing is Yet In the future.
The prevailing idea now is that we
must use the air TO 20 and get the en-
emy, instead of waiting for him to
come out TO meet us. This scheme
presents the difficulty Of any air ma
chine yet known making the long trip
from its home base into the eucmy's
country and doing any great harm
because of the necessity of its carry
ing sufficient supply of motive
power. In this line it is announced
that an inventor has offered a ma
chine which would be able to carry
an airship thousands of miles with
out the necessity of carrying any fuel.
Should this invention prove equal to
It's claims the problem is practically
solved. No defenses the Germans, or
anybody else. have yet devised, would
hc secure against destruction from
machine that could travel in this
manner. Let US hope 1t Is practi-
cal scheme.
