NO WINGS ON ME.

There! [ .jist knoWed some Of
you wild-and-wooly folks would
bust out in a big laugh and say
Pearson has got to be a "saint
all at once and gone to %"preach-
ing"
But you've got the wrong SOW
by the ear again, and SO you
have. [ amt nary bit better than
| have been all the time, and [
amt had any "visions' nor Gre
velations'' like the religious fan
atics sometimes cl an to have.
Lots Of people don't have any con-
fidence in the visions and revela-
tons that these fanatics have,
and I confess that / am sorter
skittish about them myself. They
sometimes override the thing so
far that it makes the whole bust
ness smell sorter fshy, and [ don't
wonder that people shy from it.
But the charge Of being a ere
ligious fanatic" can't be brought
against me. I am just an ordi-
nary imam Of the world" and I
have often been warned by the
orthodox people that I was headed
straight for hell On high gear.
So you see it ain t wings nor
any sort Of personal goodness
that has caused me to utter all
these remarks about the present
World-upheaval. No sir! It is be-
cause these things have come. SO
plain that even a worldly man like
myself cannot fail to see them. Sc
if you don't have any confidence
in the religious fanatics when
they sound forth their warnings
of impending doom, maybe you
will listen to an ordinary sinfu.

no reason for saying these things
Except that they r true.

STANDS FOR SOMETHING.

One more time in it's life this
paper stands for something. It
has quit drifting around, and is
now driving straight ahead to-
ward a definite goal. It is not
hunting for popularity, but seek
ing to deliver a Message.
The Fool-Killer scattered smiles
and helped the world to have a
good time as long as that was DOS
slble. And then it just drifted for
awhile: For the past two years it
has merely been marking time.n
and doing a mighty poor job Of
that.
But now, after carefully sur
yeylng the whole terrible sitna-
tlon, 1t has rolled up it's sleeves
and gone to work again. From
now on it aims to be a voice Of
warning and counsel and comfort
to a stricken world.
And now is the time for you to
also roll up YOUR sleeves and
help The Fool-Killer get it's New
Message before the people.
The fool-killer., 1917-07-01
Shall I Change It's Name?

The Fool-Killer has actually
been "born again. It has been
changed and regenerated in every
thing but it's name. It has been
lifted out Of the cheap fun-and-
foolishness class and has become
a paper with a solemn purpose-a
voice Of warning and counsel and
comfort to a stricken world.
Therefore the rough-sounding
name that this paper has borne
through all these years now
strikes me as being somewhat out
Of harmony with the papers pre-
sent style and purpose. If it is
the wish Of a majority Of my read
ers I will consider changing the
name to something more appro-
pirate. [ have thought Of "Good
News" as a more fitting name.
What do you say? Let me have
a suggestion from every one of
my 10000 readers.
The fool-killer., 1917-07-01
HOW DOES TT STRIKE YOU?

IF YOU think this dope | am Civ
inc YOU is something new that l
have just gotten hold OF and
thought it would do for a sensa-
ton, you are badly mistaken.
It may be sensational to some
folks, but it ism new at all. 1t IS
as. old as the Bible, and the fact
that you didn't know it was III
there amt my fault.
Millions Of peoplehave believed
these things for a long time, and
millions more are beginning to be-
lieve them these days. 1t IS no
new revelation to me, but has
been gradually unfolding before
my eyes for several years. | have
been just on the verge OF launch
ing this campaign two or three
times before, but decided the time
was not quite ripe for it.
Especially since the Great War
started I have been convinced that
we were in the closing scenes OF
this age, and [ have not felt salts
fed to go OH being a mere clown
to make people laugh. My
"mouth has watered' more than
once to say the things that | am
now saying, and at last they are
said. That is, some Of them are
said. There is plenty more to say.
This is a mighty big subject, and
as the hurrying stream Of events
rushes on it will get bigger. /
can only just touch the high
places in this first issue. In future
issues there will be room to treat
the different phases Of the ques-
ton more at length.
Now, Mister, if you believe it or
don't believe it, | want the priv
llege Of talking to your head
about a quarters worth, anyhow.
By that time you will either de-
eide hat [ am a fool or that you
are one, and maybe both Of us
will learn something.
Now come! Get up a big club
and send it in. And if you think
that way about it you can tell all
your friends that Pearson has
suddenly gone crazy and they just
ought to watch his capers.

HEART-To-HEART TALK.

Now, dear readers and friends,
this is a personal letter to you. |
want you to regard it as just as
personal and just as important as
If | had written it direct on my
typewriter and mailed it to you in
a sealed envelope under a two
cent stamp.
What do you think Of the line
of talk I am giving you this time?
IL you believe my New Message
contains something that thepeople
ought to read and think about,
then | want you to appoint your
self as a missionary to help spread
it among your friends. Tote this
issue around in your pocket and
read it to people you meet and
ask them what they think about
it! You will find more people
thinking along these lines than
you might suppose. And if you
happen to strike a few who have
not yet begun to think on these
things, this paper will wake them
up and put them to thinking.
The whole human race today is
aware Of the fact that this old
earth is passing through a great
crisis, and that SOMETHING of
far-reaching consequences to the
people must be the result. The
human mind is in a questioning
attitude, wondering if this really
is the end, and the old cut-and-
dried conceptions Of what is going
to happen in the wind-up n be
ing changed rapidly.
Hence the time is ripe for this
New Message, and [ want you to
help me spread it into every nook
and corner Of this broad land. Il

money to run this thing under
