The volunteer plan has not been
given a fair trial The ballyhOoing
method of recruiting is keeping a
whole lot back.
From the mObs of strong, healthy
young men on recruiting duty it does
not appear that the country needs
men badly.
Give the volunteer system a fair
trial l suggest that all able-bodied
men in uniform be sent out with the
troops, and retired officers and en-
listed men be used in their stead.
All song plUggeTs and women seek
ing publicity should go back to the
cabarets and tea fights.
We shouldn't commission men I'M
til they have enlisted as privates and
have spent six months as such and
proved their fitness to command. We
can't get ready-made officers.
All these fake patriots and flag
wavers should be muzzled A man
who isn't in the service or hasn't seen
service has no right to egg others on.
We have spent several millions in
training these rockies, and not one
of them enlisted. They are all watt
ing for CONSUMPTION and expect COM
missions.
If our army needs trained men we
have them already in men who are
now or have been nOn-coms and pri-
Yates in our army and navy.
The only organization that is do
ing and good in recruiting is the Mill
tary Order of the Serpents. This or

OPPOSES oRTHODOXY-C. W.
Bibb, orthodox Christianity is dying.
It welded its power in the dark ages
and established the inqUisition to rid
the world of any one who tried to i'm
prove it or make it a more humane
place to live in.
It hated love, laughter, friendship,
sunshine, art, science, drama, cul-
ture. 1t has always been the avowed
enemy to enlightenment, free
thought, free speech and free press.
Everything beautiful they believed
came from the devil
According to the Christianity of
Billy Sunday, every solitary man or
woman who ever accomplished any
thing for the betterment or uplift of
humanity is now in perditiOn. How
can anyone accredit our present ad-
vancement to orthodox Christianity?
Are we not all familiar with how the
men who promoted medical science
had to battle with the church?
Most sickness was a wrath of God.
So why change it. Orthodox Chris
tianity has had the field for 1000
years. What are the results? No
wonder Christ said; Think not that
I have come to bring peace-but a
sword"
His prophecy is being fulfilled to
the very letter. Christianity has, it
is true, with beggars' hands, built
some homes, asylums, etc, but not
half enough for the victims it has
made. If free thought and freedom,
generally had had full sway half as
long as o. G. we would today be
a grand, healthy and tolerating mass
of humans without any title whatso-
ever. Just brOad-minded friends.
So our hope lies in free thought,
not in the altruism Of Sunday or hil

the present autumn. Many of the stretches of
road that were practically boulevards at the time
the convicts had completed their work, are now
fast returning to their former condition. 1t is,
first of all, hard country to build and maintain
roads in for there is little besides sand and rocks
over which to construct them and next, the pop
ulation is all out of proportion to the Hercuean
task of keeping up many miles of roads, in a
country of this character. But after ALL we cam
not help feeling that lot more could be done by
local people towards the maintenance of the roads
so generously constructed by the state, in better
condition And right down at the bottom of the
seeming neglect we are convinced that there
is an Indifference the part of many people in
st. George in regard to road to the railroad
through this section, while they would be willing
to spend their last dollar and probably bond their
county to build good road to Modena, via Dia-
mond Valley, and permitting the road up through
the settlements to still farther deterioate. At
any rate frequent rumors to this effect reach us.
And of efforts to obtain convict labor to build the
Modena road
Good roads are necessity and convenience,
and we do not blame the people of Western Wash
ngton county for trying to get as many as they
can maintain, but is it not better to try and keep
our present roads up in good shape than to strain
every effort for the building of new roads, while
those we already have are neglected and allowed
to go down?
