The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-11-11

The Tampa Tribune, after reciting
quite accurately list of the troubles
afflicting this nation. earnestly rec
ommends that all our people spend
next Sunday in prayer for aid and
enlightenment from the Almighty. We
doubt that many people will heed the
Tribune's request, and we think it
would be a great waste of time. God
may, and probably will, make up in a
better world to those who suffer I'M
Justly in THIS one, and the countless
starry night. There is an old saying
that "God helps those who help them
Selves" and of course it is a safe
claim to make. for when a triumphant
nation or individual claims that God
has helped it or him, no dissent comes
from the silent skies. The logical
conclusion from this is that God
doesn't help the helpless, which is
moreover backed by thousands of in
cidents recorded in history, and
good many abundantly proven in the
that the people of America are amply
able to help themselves; they know
what to do and they have the power
| to do it, and the only thing that
stands in their way is their own lazi-
ness, cowardice and self-indulgence.
II the Almighty heeds prayers from
the American people, it must be only
with a feeling of contempt, for such
prayers are not the humble supplica-
tions of a weak and chastised nation,
but from a powerful and triumphant
country that has made a fool of itself
and now wants divine assistance in
stead of working it's own way back
to the safe and straight road. Most
of the people of this country have al
ways wanted somebody else to do
their work for them. The white man
had, been here less than a decade be-
fore he was importing negro slaves,
and from this resulted our bloody
civil war. Then came the poor white
trash Of Europe, and the result of
that is the mess the country is now
ira constant series of strikes
which if not soon stopped will bring
OH another civil war. far worse than
the first one, for the men of the North
and South did not make war on non
combatants. Industry. honesty and
courage will save America-the ma
| jority has these qualities; if it will
net use them it is useless to call for
help, human or divine.

ment shall not be called upon to make
good the money exacted as ransom by
bandits from Jenkins. the American
consular agent at Puebla." AS the
state department declared a few days
ago that the Mexican government
must make the money good. this last
decision, if it made it, will bring on
it the just contempt of both Mexicans
ard Americans. 1t is time that a stop
was put to so many officials of the
state department giving out decisions
or opinions.
