The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-12-25

And now / say to you, Arisel Shake
off your slumber, for the trumpet of
Gabriel is sounding, calling the peo-
pie to burst asunder the grave of au-
tocracy in which they have for cen
turtles slept and take their place in
the sun. From the depths of the sea
/ the evil one has arisen to conquer,
but from the clouds shall ride the
majestic message of Mantle written
in the sharp staccato of bursting
bombs and punctuated with ten thous-
and pound periods from the arsenal
of an outraged Goddess.
/ request OF you that every possible
effort be made Oh your part to bring
this hellish. murderous, thieving and
Icing rape of Mantle and Her People
| to a close and hell must be consumed
with hell fire.
The fires of Mantle are pure, beau-
tiful and smokeless the fires OF hell
are made up of pollution and will fill
our atmosphere with stenchful smoke
and poison gas. but Mantle will with
her lightning purify it and give US a
moral atmosphere that will permit
us to see Her smile.
You of our race who are within mil
itary range and have no absolute de-
pendents, wait not for anything: Go,
answer the call of our father, Wood
row Wilson: enlist for OVER SEAS
service now.
You who cannot go, buy Liberty
bonds to the utmost of your means
and thus help yourself against the
day of old age help feed our soldiers,
help keep our home prosperity secure
and crush out this terror.
Give freely to the Red Cross society
that it may be with an abundance of
funds to care for the wounded and
administer to the sick.
The soldiers want tobacco, books,
and Injuries They should have the
/ best we have. for they have given self
( interest second place and are in many
instances giving their lives for our
protection and the liberty of future
generations of which you and 1 will
be a part.
Eat perishable foods and save all
that can be shipped long distances
that there may be the more for the
soldiers.
War Savings Certificates and Liber-

vestment for yourselves and are as
good as the resources of either Great
Britain or the United States.
We, the American Indian gave to the
white people shelter food, medical at
tcntiOn, clothing and their entire start
as nation.
We gave them the idea of Democ-
racy and permitted them to exercise
that right. even taking them into our
councils. 1t is the wish of Mantle that
this idea become the predominating
| rule of the entire world and we as
a people must override all of our
grievances and fight and sacrifice for
the good of all humanity, for the free
dom of all the peoples of the earth.
We may have our quarrels at home
political and otherwise political, re-
ligious and otherwise: but this coun-
| try is our home in common: the in
! terests of that home and the home it.
self is threatened by the devastating
flames of autocratical militarism
which spells insult, robbery and death
for our national family to all of which
we have submitted until it became in
tolerable.
The opponents of Germany seek not
territorial conquest but the natural
right of the earth's inhabitants to have
a voice in the government by which
they consent to be governed, to com
pete fairly in the business of the world
and to sail the seas without restriction
and enjoy their freedom as the creator
intended, infringing the rights of no
one
II this German autocrat were per-
mitted with his military force to pre-
vail, the peoples of this and ultimately
all other countries would lose all dig

ding and instead OF being paid for their
degrading service would be compelled
to pay for the privilege
Than serve a master who listens not
to our voice, it were better to die

Let every American Indian, in whole
or in part protect every act of the
governments opposed to the Kaiser
Inform the Department of Justice
OF any genuinely suspicious act or ut
terance
Protect the interests of every SOL
der whether he be here or abroad.
Permit no utterance or act against
either our father, the president of the
. United States or His Majesty King
George V for the destiny of Democ-
racy, the preservation and dignity of
the governments of the American con-
tinent rests upon the executive ability
of these men.
To encourage sedition is to aid in
the undermining of those governments
and encourage THE Mailed Fist" to
strike.
Kaiser Wilhelm has said that he will
take no foOlishness from America af-
ter the war. He evidently imagines
us to be children subject to his or
ders and an occasional spanking: it
is our duty to aid in instructing him
that we will take no foolishness from
him NOW
