Canon Takes a
Filming Game
from Coal Greek

The Coal Creek team appeared IN
Canon City to play game of the ma
tional sport against the local team
Thursday evening. The game between
these teams on the local field has long
been looked forward to as the Coal
Miners have several wins against the
locals which popped UP the enthus-
iasm.
The Canon team had a strong bat
terry on the field in the form of Van
Alstine and Candenhead. Cadenhead
never let chance to take advantage
of the opposing team in every turn of
the game and when it came to grab
bing dusty ones he never made a
miss.
Van Alstine was twfrling in fine
style the Coal Creekers not earning
a run in the seven innings, allowed
only three hits and sent 10 men back
to the bench by the strike-out route.
The Coal Creekers played good ball
and were handicapped as they were
playing the last of the seventh in the
dark
The feature of the game came in
the last of the seventh when the score
stood 2-1 in favor of the Miners.
Brickey was struck on the hand by one
of Ross fast ones and they decided
to place Fox in the box, as Bricky
was not used to catching a south paw.
Dyer was batting, and the first ball
Fox pitched he dry docked for three
bases.
F. Parks pulled squeeze play bunt
scoring Dyer and out running Fox's
throw himself. Parks stole second
and scored the winnig run on Ste
gals safety The game was then
called due to darkness. The score:

s'The Jewish Peril"
REVIEW OF ANTI-SEMITIC BOOK
BY c. HAGBERG WRIGHT.

The ultra-reactionary party of Rus

fluence and its instrumentality II
pamphlet has been published entitled
the Jewish Peril" which has not on
iy aroused . great deal OF interest
among the general public mere but has
also disturbed the minds of some of
our leading politicians and public men.
The whole of this pamphlet is merely

of Russian book by Mr. Serge Nilus.

ideas of the end of the world. The
public may be left to judge of its truc
Significance.
y The full title Of the book written
by Serge Nilus is: Great in Small
and the Antichrist as n proximate
political observation-disclosures of an
Orthodox" Published by the press OF
Tsarskoe Selo, under the name of the
Committee of the Red Cross, 1905, it
was passed by the Censorship in 1905.
and was dedicated to Father John of
Cronstadt. There are two prefaces.
the first of which is dated Bird June,
1908. when the first edition was nuli-
lishcd in Solotarevo. The book has
twelve chapters, the last of which con
tains the so-cnllcd Protocols of the
Elders of Zion with two appcndices.
Nilus is very common type of Rus
sian mystic and fanatic. to whom the
spiritual life trnnsccnds every other
and to whom miracles and visions are
of daily occurrence. When not tails
ing about his soul and the beauties OF
perfect faith as shown by the priests
in the inconsistencies he visits. he re
lates the religious life of other sanity
men and the appearances from the
spiritual world which they have had
the happiness TO witness. In his chapt-
ers we have the record of several
dreams which his friends have com
municated to him, but of course in no
instance does he vouchsafc to give MS
their names.
1t is in connection with dreams that
Antichrist is first mentioned. Count
\. =. Tolstoy, PobedoHostsev's pre-
decessor as procurator of the Holy
Synod, in letter to Father Ambrose
of the Optin monastery, relates Il
dream of a friend in 1866. 1t deals
with the coming of Antichrist, ana
with the last seven years during which
Antrichrist will dominate the world he
fore lie is finally overthrown. Incl
dentally, this letter shows the devo
ton Of the orthodox Russian for his
religion and how fearful he was OF
the calamities which he thought Were
going to overtake his church. Eleven
years after, in 1877, Count Tolstoy
writes again to the same monastery
recording another dream of his own
on the end of the world. These dreams

of the freemasons. Nilus, however, as
phraeology, icclur;. that -Apt:4lrist
is not single lerson, but the whole
secret Jewish International community,
This is Nilus' Antichrist.
To prove this, Nilus Incorporates the
so-called Protocols (undated) which
he received from FRIEND (unnamed .
Now what do these Protocols amount
to? They amount to this. The Jew
ish people have for twenty centuries
stirred up sedition by introducing lib
cral ideas which have acted as IL
poison, and have weakened the power
OF kings and autocracy. The thing
to be done now, say the Protocols, is
to create disorder by encouraging
further liberal ideas, and so under
mining regular government When Il
state of anarchy aud revolution has
been reached the working, classes will
be poor and every class dissatisfied
and the world will be ripe for coup
d'etat. Then a king, descendant
VI baNiu u t. INuSSldl lSdl
autocratic ruler with hereditary in
stincts, will be set on throne and
all property will belong 10 him, and
his power will be absolute.
The writer of the Protocols is con
tinually insisting on the value of an
autocracy, the value Of an aristocracy
and of class distinctions, while fearing,
capital and liberal ideas. A pamphlet
that draws this moral is obviously the
last which an international Jewish
secret society would publish. The
Utopia to which the Protocols look for
ward is really Russia as it was in
the time of Peter the Great.
Various passages have been omitted
lays the blame for the French Rev
olution at the doors of Zion. In the
last sentence of the introduction the
translator puts into Nilus's mouth the
following words: ITO gain the Al
mighty's mercy and to delay the hour
of Russians fall" This sentence does
not exist in the original, where Nilus
speaks of the impending fall OF Nine
vch, and from the context it is quite
