world is finding it's soul, it's heart.
Tears of grief bind and knit those in
sorrow with those who claim friend
ship or mere mountaineering closer
than ever before 1t is often that not
until trouble arrives do we know who
our real friends are. Everyone who
has had trials to bear knows that the
world is not only DESTROYS, but de-
mands chance to help bear the cross
of the suffering and tighten their bur-
dens. And so it goes on and on, and
soon we find that we are all truly
brothers and sisters, all of us, what
ever our creed or race.
The last few issues of the Palisa-
dian fairly stunned me, as it did many
others. Reports of the untimely death
of the two Ebell boys, of Allan Mutt,
Of Mr.. Tietjen, Mr.. Kerby, Mr.. Neil
son; of Oscar Mandell being made a
German prisoner; of the ravages OF
the plague, taking away so many of
our dear friends and neighbors, others
seriously sick with little hope given

are praying, and praying hard Those
of us agnostic are thinking, and think

though they may know it not. These
are. times for deeds, and deeds are
being done. These are also times for
words, for kind words reach the heart

stern realities of life. I am fully cog

by remaining silent A sprinkling of

like pouring oil upon troubled waters.

Nebuchadnezzar and Autocracy.

Have you thought to consider how
accurately the image shown to Nebu-
chadnezzar, as interpreted by Daniel,
depicts the spirit of autOcracy? The
four Central Powers of odoriforous
memory illustrated the image to per-
fection. Germany, the head of gold !;
Austria, the breast of silver; Turkey,
the brass; Bulgaria, the iron, and the
SOcialistic German allies in all coun-
tries, the feet of clay mingled with
iron. The Socialists are the lowest form
of autocracy, and the meanest and
most degraded. In Russia they have
gone lower than the Kaiser ever dared
to descend Though, of course, he was
on his way. The laws passed by the
SOviets, making all girls the property
of the state, are the natural corOllary
of their doctrines as preached openly
in this country. Ignorance, cruelty and
vice are the natural ends of Socialism
allied to autocracy.

SEVERAL OF THE NOTABLE
SAYINGS OF BISMARCK
West Palisade, N. J.
November 4, 1918.

mot by speeches and resolutions of
majorities are great questions decided,
but by iron and blood
s'The world cannot be ruled from be-
low
ANY one who can make promises
can get himself elected"
''The dread of responsibility is dis
ease Of our times''
"You cannot ripen fruit by setting
lamps under the trees"
"Not the people Of the cities, but the
people of the country, make a nation
"a majority has no heart"
"Let us leave our children problem
or two. They might find the world
very tiresome if there were nothing
left for them to do"
"We cannot hasten the course of
time by setting our watches forward
my ambassadors must wheel around
like non-commissioned officers at the
word of command without knowing
why"
Whoever has once looked into the
glazed eyes of a dying soldier on the
battlefield will think twice before be-
ginning war"
Equality is the daughter of envy
and covetOusness.
Every great man has some flaw,
just as good apple has it's speck."
"The life of nations is crowned with
success only so far as they have leu
ton blood in their veins and so long as
they preserve the characteristics of
that race"
II deceive all diplomats by telling
them the truth
Gladstone played with words so
long that after awhile words played
with him."
"We Germans fear God, and we fear
nothing else in the whole world
by the people every one means
that which suits his purpose-usually
haphazard collection of individuals
whom he has won over to his own
views"

President in his desire to enlarge the
commercial relations of our country

old 'sprOtection" notion is gone for

Blood Besotted Russia.

The American Socialists in Russia
have set November 10 as a day on
which to massacre all the educated
classes in Russia. They are carrying
out the similar German scheme by
which all the Armenians were mas
sacred by the Turks When all intel
ligence is destroyed in Russia, how
easy it will be for Germany to master
the illiterate and. ignorant masses of
Russian peasants. The Kaiser is
frantically crying for peace so that he
can turn his undivided attention to the

Blind Leaders Of the Blind.

There will be employment for a
large United States army for some
years after peace has been established.
The Bolsheviki are numerous and ac-
tive, and they must be prevented from
setting up their delightful rule in any
European country. They will be
squelched in Russia, and they must be
routed out in Germany, Austria and
Italy. The blind leaders of the blind
must not be allowed to lead the ma
lions into the ditch.

The Fable Of Pop and His offspring.

The old geezer of the housebOat by
the swamp gave his first squawk when
Lincoln put the embargo on slaves.
Like the only Abe, he, too, was born in
a log cabin as poor as gasoline deal
er on Sundays. Ambition was his first
handle, while the title on the eastern
salient was Smith. (Many Smiths are
called, but few are chosen.) Smith la
bored from cock crow to curfew bell
and got good load OF, hay before snow
fell. The village bank couldn't store
all his kale, so he started a chain of
first and second nationals on his own
hook Money rolled off him like Hun
prisoners rolling under United States
guards in France. The old bird was
still young then, and as he started
down the street he had regular barn
yard following him. Finally a spring
chicken from the city, visiting on va
cation, lassoed him and dragged him
to mamma, then to church, then to a
life insurance shark and then-to New
York
The first thing the Mrs. did was to
wash out the letter 'i'' and change it
to W without adding 'es." No plurals
yet. And so as "Smyths" the duet
sang their way into the four hundred
community singers of G. o. DIS. No
profit sharing man ever gets to be a
millionaire. Pop still worked his
noodle and hands. He was an old
dog and believed in old tricks to win
applause and cash. His money had
come through hard work, and work
was more than a habit with him. II
