Just because tho president. being
mere man and not n superman,
has been unable 10 accomplish the
miracle OF doing everything at once.
| II seems to have been assumed by
large numbers OF people that he is
not going TO do some OF them at
all.
There Is no denying the fact that
among workers and consumers Of
the nation there Is a growing i'm
patience and dissatisfaction be-
cause so little apparent progress
has been made toward limiting
profits. reducing the cost OF LIES
necessities. and putting upon the
owners OF surplus wealth. where 1t
belongs. tho main load OF tho war
taxation.
It IL equally true that up to n
very short time ago there has been
a feeling OF great satisfaction and
content among the brotherhood of
the blood profiteers.
This brotherhood Is composed In
the main of those men who in one
way or another have got control
OF the natural resources OF the
nation--the ore. coal, lumber. etc;
those men who have got control Of
the transportation of the nation
the railways, steamships, etc; and
those men who have got control OF
the machinery which fabricates the
raw materials into munitions OF
war and the necessities of the civil
population.
Being a man of keen perception.
the president has not been fooled
for minute as to what the blood
proflteers have been doing during
the past five months to their fell
low countrymen and their govern
ment: being n man Of unflinching
determination and courage, he
never even has considered permit
ting them to continue piling up
their blood profits or keeping what
they have piled up; being a man OF
infinite patience, he has been will
Ing to wait to strike the blows
until no could strike them with
such force that they would be eff

blood profiteers-thc blows

Editor CRsSET;
in your issue for April
9Th an unf0rtunate reference to
Christian Science occurs. which
in view of your well known
desire to print only the truth, l
trust you will permit me To
correct.
In the article entitled: Can
the Spirits be called up from
the dead" the statement is made
that Christian Scientists Claim
that they can call up the dead
and talk With them Other
references in the article 60 Oh to
associate Christian Science
with clairvoyance and medium
ship ship, showing plainly that
what the writer intended to
discuss was not Christian
Science at all but spiritualism.
There is no analogy whatever
between the two systems, in
fact they are polar opposites as
the following quotations from
the chapter Christian Science vs.
Spiritualism in he text book,
Science and health with key to
The Scriptures, by Mary Baker
Eddy will show; page ~ I'm
Christian Science there ia never
a retrograde step never a return
to positions outgrown. The 81

In separate states OF existence,

And again, (page 73) God
