IRELAND'S HOPE

The prestige of our Gaelic race,
Our poets and our heroes fame.
Oppression never could erase,
Nor dim the light of freedoms flame.
Through centuries of cruel wrong.
Though crushed, we never were sub
dued:
Our love of liberty e'er strong,
With hope and faith we were imbued.
The grandeur of the bygone years
She sheds its glamour on our path
And made us smile amidst our tears.
Exult despite our foemen's wrath.
Disunion, fostered by our foes.
Left us beneath the English sway;
United, all our nations woes
Had never traced in blood our way.
But now a brighter day has dawned
Upon the land we love so well,
No more shall Erin's rights be pawned
By tar with purpose fell.
The ancient language of our race
Shall be again the nations tongue,
and peace and comfort will erase
The mem'ries which our hearts have
wrung.
hen rival creeds' and factions fight
No longer shall embroil our land.
and Ireland's children for her rights
In harmony will take their stand.
In Tara's ruined, silent hall
Where Irish monarchs once held state,
Music and gladness will recall
The times when we were famed and
great.
Then when our night of grief and shame
Is ended and we're glad and free,
Wen build a fame to Emmet's name i
Who died for Irish Liberty.

The 18TH IN VOL POINT

Wolf Point will do her best next
Wednesday to give her visiting
friends a wholehearted welcome and
show them a day so filled with en-
tertainment and pure fun that they
will be more than glad that they
accepted the invitation to the open
ing Of the Sherman on the city's big
holiday.
1t is a western custom and a west
ern habit never to get too busy to
be sociable, and when one town puts
on a big day there are always plenty
of representatives from the other
towns to attend and help make it a
success.
The completion of a hotel of the
capacity and class of the Sherman
at a total cost approximating $780,
10000 in a town the size and age of
Wolf Point is an achievement worth
noting and worth celebrating. We
hope that a great number of our
neighbors will visit us on that day,
see the new Sherman and Wolf
Points other recent improvements.
Manager Moore is anxious to make it
emphatic that this is not an exclu-
sive affair, that the invitation to at
tend and the welcome that is extend
ed is for everybody, everywhere.

rotary of the interior. He was a
great mar and a good patriot. In
every department of governmental
activity in which he was ever en-
gagged he made good. The quality
of his service was recognized by his
associates, the public, and his super
Tor officers. There is practically no
dissent from that proposition. In
fact there is none at all that is worth
any serious consideration. Any man
exercising great powers in a great
and statesmanlike way makes some
personal enemies and has a few yelp-
ing, snarling ours at his heels, spew-
ing venom at his shoes. But Frank
lin X. Lane had as little of this kind
of criticism to contend with as any
man highly placed in the public ser
vice could expect. In the eyes of the
vast majority of his fellow citizens
he was a great man, and an honest,
courageous and efficient secretary of
the interior department. None of his
predecessors in that Office left a bet
ter record behind them. Very few
left as good a record. The president
did not wish to lose him from his
family of official advisors. Congress
respected him. The general public
are loath to lose him from the head
ship of the interior department. They
fully realize that his resignation in
wolves a loss to the department and
to the nation.-Great Falls Tribune.

The establishment of the Roose-

Great Northern main line means a
great deal to northern Montana and
its Importance will grow rapidly with
the improvement of the highway. To
the towns along the line it should

achievement of good roads, for they

WHO EMPLOYS THE DEVIL
TO RUN HE'LL?

If an endless hell of torment
for the wicked is necessary
part of Gods plan, and if God
has to have the devil employed
to run the place and keep the
fire going, then there is simply
no getting around the fact that
God and the devil are business
associates and good friends. IF
there is an endless hell of tor
ment in Gods scheme at all it
is a very important part of the
scheme. And surely God would
not appoint His very worst enc
my to such an important position
as General Superintendent of
Hell. Supposing, for the sake of
argument, that God needs an
endless hell of torment in His
Business, and supposing that
God had employed His enemy to
run the place, don't you see that
the enemy could take advantage
of God and let the thing go
smack out? Or he might go to
the other extreme and waste the
birthstone and burn out the fues
and do lots of damage that way.
Where there was so much fire
there would be constant danger
of getting the whole place burnt
up. So you see God would need
to have a man on the job that
He could trust-one who could
be depended on at all times to
run hell in perfectly honest and
Christian manner.
Now, Buddy, I put it up to you
plain and honest: If the devil
is as mean and low-down and
treacherous and tricky as peo~
pie say he is, do you honestly be-
lieve God would keep such q
character on His payroll
throughout eternity and trust
him with all the important busi-
ness affairs Of the Everlasting g
Fireworks? Huh? What do
you think about it? Looks to
me like the theologians have got
theA' hind legs so badly tangled
in their foresight that they
can't tell blue smoke from the
breath Of a Democratic candi-
date.
The safest course is to believe

A SAD MEDLEY.

Twas a wintry day in summer,
The rain was showing fast,
When a barefoot boy with shoes on
Sat standing on the grass.
While the organ peeled potatoes,
Lard was rendered by the choir.
While the sexton rang the dish-rag
Some one set the church afre.
"Holy smoke!' the preacher
shouted,
And in the rush he lost his hair;
Now his head resembles heaven
For there is no parting there.

The Seat of Consciousness.


All consciousness, all feeling
or exercise of the emotions, has
it's seat in the brain.
Most people seem to think
that the heart is the seat of the
emotions, and then in the next
breath it will be the soul, and
they get it so mixed up that
you can't get any idea what they
do believe.
Now let's see about it being
the heart or the soul. For in
stance, some trouble befalls you
such as the sudden death of
a dear friend. You say it breaks
your heart. You weep and
mourn and cry, and your emo
tions are terribly shaken with
grief. You think that the part
of you which is suffering and
agonizing over your loss must
be your immortal soul which
is not dependent on the body
for it's existence.
But wait!
Why are your spiritual feel
ings so wrought up?
Why are your emotions STIR
red?
Because you KNOW about
the trouble.
Because you are CONSCIOUS
of the bereavement.
But HOW do you know about
HOW are you conscious of it ?
By means of your BRAIN.
If you didn't have a brain
to receive and transmit the con-
sciousness of the happening,
you would not weep or feel
troubled at all, because you
would not know anything about
it.
You might have a dozen hearts
in you, and you might be cram
med so full Of immortal souls
that they stuck out at your
eyes, but if you didn't have a
BRAIN you would not have any
emotions. You can gamble on
that.
Now is the brain part. Of the
physical body, or a part Of the
un-physical soul?
All must admit that it is a
part of the physical body.
Then when the body dies the
brain dies with it.
And when the brain dies there
is no more consciousness.
The theory that a man can be
dead and alive at the same time
that he can know more after
his brain is mouldered back to
dust than he knew in the prime
of life-it is the acme Of folly.
It is the superlative degree Of
ignorance. It is the biggest fool
notion that men and devils ever
Matched up.

TWO BLACK PEAS IN A POD

Well, honey, I suppose you
will want to know what The
Fool-Killer thinks about the
plute candidates for president.
Good heavens! The whole
mess is so rotten and disgusting
that it makes me sick to think
about it.
I knew both of the old parties
we're reactionary and pluto
cratic, but they actually went a
good deal further with it than
[ thought possible.
[ did think that one or the
other would show some little
sign of intelligence, j14st to be
different from the other one, if
nothing else. But it seems that
the two old parties no longer
have any desire to be different.
On the other hand, they are try
ing to see which can be the most
alike. They are actuated by
the same motives-to serve the
plutes and skin the people and
their only contention is to see
which can be the most abject
slave of reaction.
Before either of the conven-
tions were held, [ said the Re-
publicans had the chance of their
lives. Seven years of Wilson
had so sickened the country on
Democracy that Republican
victory this time was a fore
gone conclusion-if the Repub-
licans would act with even d
small scrimption Of sense.
Then came the Chicago con-
vention. The Republicans had
two or three men who could
have been elected sily-John-
son, Hoover, and perhaps others.
But what did the convention
do? Turned it's back on all of
it's real men and nominated q
fgurehead-a nonentity- alb
solutely the weakest and sor-
riest Gull it could have found.
Thus did the Republicans hand
back to the Democrats the sure
chance Of victory.
Thinks [ to myself, surely the
Dems will have sense enough to
appreciate the gift and make
good use of it.
Then came Frisco.
And, by Joe, if it wasn't just
Chicago over again!
Every crook and turn of the
proceedings was absolutely und-
er the control of the old reac-
tionary bosses-Tammany, Tag
gart and Company.
They began by eliminating
their strongest and best men
first, and working on down to-
ward the weakest and sorriest.
Unlike the Republicans, they
didn't get quite to the bottom.
After they had found one weak
enough and sorry enough to
satisfy the plutes- behold, there
was Palmer still left hanging or
the vine!

"BIBLE PROBLEMS EX-
planned"

I have before me little book
by DR.. James NJ. Gray, Of the
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.
The book is called ''Bible Prob
lens Explained" It is made up
of lot of questions that people
haye asked DR.. Gray, and his
attempts to answer them. l
say "attempts to answer them"
because that is all it amounts
to. 1t seems remarkable to me
that a man who poses as a great
Bible scholar and teacher could
make such a miserable mess as
DR.. Gray has made in this book.
The questions that really need
an answer are not answered at
all, but merely evaded or lodged
around, in an effort to shield the
weakness of orthodox theology.
Let me give you just a few
samples of his expert lodging.
Somebody asks DR.. Gray this
question:
"Where do children who die
before the age Of accountability
go at death
And here is DR.. Gray's IAN
swer."
Every Christian hopes and
believes that they go to heaven.
But no one is able to speak
positively on that point, because
the scriptures do not speak posi-
lively upon it"
Now amt that a purity Eek
planation?" It does not explain
a thing. It simply hens and
haws around the question and
lodges the only answer that
could possibly be true. But he
has to confess that his "go-to-
heaven-at-death" doctrine is not
taught in the Bible. Certainly
it is not. There is not a word
of scripture to prove that either
children or grown folks go to
heaven at death, and he wilful-
1ly and deliberately lies when he
says that ''all Christians" be-
lieve that stuff, for millions OF
them do not believe it.
Another question:
"What is Gods purpose in
keeping a soul in misery, hope
less, and useless through eter-
nifty, and how do you harmonic
this with the character Of God"
That is sensible question,
but listen what a fool answer:
'*It is not our business to
harmonic this with the char
acter of God. That is Gods
business. The same Bible that
reveals Gods character reveals
the fact of the eternal conscious
punishment of the wicked"
You see his only way of get
ting by such a question is to
| dodge it. He don't dare to give
an honest explanation of the
problem, because from his view
point it can't be done. How easy
it would all be if the fool man
would only confess the truth
that the Bible does NOT teach
eternal torment!
The fool-killer. [volume] (Boomer, N.C.) 1919-1922, 1920-06-01

Poor Palmer!
Pity they didn't go one step
lower and get him!
But, anyhow, the race is on.
The goal is the Dark Ages, and
the worst man wins.

POOL HALL SUGGESTED
city Council to Act in Matter

1.-THE meeting of the City coun-
Gil Friday night the question of a
franchise for pool room for Bar
bourvillo was brought up for discus
sion. II Is understood that there
was a clean cut division of opinion
as to the adyisability of allowing
the frapchse.
This is q matter that has been
agitated in every state in the Union
and where the Anglo-Saxon FREEDOM
mates the general answer is NO.
In the state of Texas, pool rooms
were even voted out of cities of
1000 to 10000 and the reason for
such action was that they promote
gambling and the gambling spirit in
young boys and become headquar-
ters for all who gamble.
Barbourvlle is n school town
first and foremost and it is only in
its infancy as such. 1t Is to our
interest to keep clear of all influ-
ences which may tend to corrupt the
boys who come 10 us for their edu-
cation. Moreover, there are certain
boys who will take a chance and
some of these would be sure to pat
ronize the pool halls and then find
themselves up against expulsion
from the schools they might be at
tending.
We also have growing boys Of our
own who would frequent the pool
halls and in whose minds the gamb-
ling spirit might be sown.
1t has been shown, and that not
infreQuently. that the spurious
check. or the forged check has had
its beginning in the environment of
the pool hall and ruin has been the
result for many who otherwise
might have become reputable citi-
Gems.
The pool hall is a paying invest
ment so far as money is concerned,
for the owners but We believe that
is the only way it pays anybody.
We trust the City Council will
veto the pool hall franchise as we
are sure that if they do not do so
the people will throw it out at an
election.
Meantime citizens should express
themselves to each City Councilman
and ask him to vote against this
franchise.
