Twenty-Five hundred years ago this
humble swins-hsrd watching his swine
and studying man and his ways, re-
corded his observations in fables.
s~ugar-coatsd pills of wisdom. Thus,
seeing the greed Of the wsu to do and
how this greed came to grief, as all
wrong does, he tells the fable Of a
dog who had a nice bone. On his road
he crossed a bridge. Seeing his image
in the water below he thought 1t was
another dog with q bone. Not salts
fed with his own bene but wanting
also the other dogs bone. he dropped
his OWE and plunged In after the
other dogs bone. Wet and without q
bone, he crawled out of the water a
wiser but q poorer dog. His greed and
envy and disregard Of the rights OF
others brought him to grief. So was
it $500 years ago; 50 10 1t today.

NOW AND LONG

The apostles Of old were plain fish.
ermen, COMMON labOrers who felt
driven to carry a new gospel to e
Society in Europe and America IL
largely bulldsd on their work. They
stood for real ideas, new thoughts and
new life.
Today 4 new set Of apostles have ar
rived on the scene. They claim to be
carriers Of u new gospel which shall
make mankind happy. A real 70.
former, an hopest enthusiast, no mart.
ter ii he is mistaken, 10 always in
teresting, providing he Is honest and
really unselfsh. May we not compare
these two sets Of apostles? The old
apostle said: "Gold and silver We
have not but we bring YOU peace"
Also Love We q another" The new
apostles say: Hand over your gold and
silver by the million. hand owe your
business, don't listen to the other fell
lows, get the money. Lie like q damn
ed horssthief to the people but get tho
money" Also: Never trust your
n%elghbor, he may be the agent Of your
enemy" And the new gospel? Con-
suit The Courier-News aud you will
find it edging around and defending
Russian Bolshevism. Not a number
but hints at Bolshevism being better
than represented. What is Bolshe-
vism?
I. Any crowd that has arms and
men enough ssizes the Government.
Just like old time savages.
2. No property, for those who have
saved and built up. Take it away.
Just like old time savages.
3. Communize women. That il
make prostitutes Of them, without
their consent. Worse than any saw
ages op record.
4. Destroy the home. All savages
have had the home as q nucleus Of
beginning civilization
5. XIII the educated and destroy
the Church. Savages would disown
such apostles.
6. Seize all lands In the name Of
q robber government.
Without vote or consent Of the gov

tribal days, when the land belonged to
those who could drive others away.
Summary; No home, no church. no

SOAP BRIBE. FREES AMERICAN
Private Released From German Prison
Camp After Gift to One Of
the Guards.

Coblenz.-Half a cake of soap, used
as a bride, opened the road to liberty
for an American soldier who recently
rejoined his regiment after being i'm
prisOned in Germany.
William Litch, a private in the Twen-
ty-sixth infantry, was captured October
4 during the fighting in the Argonne
and taken to a prison camp near Ba-
den. From another American who had
received q prisoners package Litch
procured a piece of soap not much larg-
er than his thumb.
A few nights before the signing Of
the armistice Litch gave the soup to
a German prison camp guard and
stepped out of the stocKade q free man.
He began travelling by night and hiding
by day, but before he reached the
front he was overtaken by other re-
leased American prisoners, who told
him of the armlstice.
