A FACT IS A FACT

THE FACT: Villify it by what
ever name you will, curse it, outlaw
it, deride it and rage against it, but,
when you have finished, the FACT
still remains a FACT. Turn all the
cannon on Earth upon it, when the
roar has died away, the FACT, it's
head bloody but unbowed, will still
be facing you. You cannot hide it;
you cannot ignore it; all you can do
is to try to understand it and to work
with it, for there is no surer solvent
of good and evil than the FACT.
Folly of Outlawing Truth
THE TRUTH: "Know the truth and
the truth shall make you Free" de-
clared the Apostle Paul, who also
knew that TO know the truth one must
SEEK it. This is the reason, that we
MUST SEEK TRUTH if we are to
obey the laws of God and Nature
this is the reason why NO GOVERN
MENT. on earth has the FRIGHT to
suppress freedom of speech, for the
outlawing of free speech means the
outlawing of free thought, which, in
turn means the outfAwing of TRUTH.
which is "Blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit. the only sin declared "un-
pardonable" by Christ. Resist, there
fore, with all the means at your COM
mand, ALL attempts to suppress the
right of free speech, for on this right
depends the RIGHT of Mankind to
SEEK and KNOW the TRUTH.

The Democrats during war times
prophesied that the greenback
would become worthless. John S.
Jenkins had a few hundred dollars
which he desired to invest for safe
keeping He consulted the county
judge, A. b Houston, who recon-
mended him to let the greenbacks
alone and to invest in Audubon
county warrants which We're then
worth seventy-fve cents on the
dollar which he did.
Houston had told him that the
county warrants would draw six
per cent interest and promised to
assist him in getting them cashed.
But it seems this was easier said
than done. Afterwards Houston
was elected county treasurer but
there were always other uses for the
county money and Jenkins could
not get cash on h,s warrants during
Houston's term of office They
were finally paid by his successor,
Charles Van Gorcer.

were of southern extraction and
opposed to the Civil war. In 1860

presidential election in 1864, Lin

and his opponent, George b. Nc

the democrats made a clean sweep
and elected all the county officers.
