water when he came from the fields
hot and thirsty. The cause of his
death was never questioned.
After . her husbands death, Mrs
Denner became Kolze's housekeeper.

pneumonia, it was believed, Mrs. Den

fair between us"
Three physicians said he died from
natural causes. I don't see why his

of the premises will be made.

when We profess to be shocked by his

slang, his, ,extravagant m~annerlsfns
and all the other means he uses to
ret his message across. That is what
We need, to be shocked, although we
will not confess it. What Mr.. Sunda:Y
is trying to do is to save men from
themselves, and from their cwn sell
fishness, and it is a herculean task, for
the present generation, like all gen.
erations that preceded it, is still
necked and perverse. However great
" we may resent it, we are all going
to be benefited by having a m~irrorheli

up. Outwardly we may not confess
that lie is speaking truthfully about
us, but inwardly the confession will
be made that he scored a bullseye,
that he hit the nail on the head. Few
men know cur revealed and secret sin 5
as well as we know them ourselves.
The sum and substance of the whole
matter is that Mr.. Sunday is not
saying ANYTHING that is not true. II ne
makes us vince then that is proof
that we are vulnerable. If the shoe
does not fit us we will not put it on.
If Mr. Sunday does no more than cause
a searching Of hearts, his visit t.

a RUSSIAN writing from that
country to his brother in St. Paul for
assistance to get out of the country
as life to him had become un,earable
and he was not allowed to sell the
property he had to secure means to
e1nigrate. A part Of the letter trans
lated says:
"Have not written for a long time
because the conditions of the land
are indescribably bad. Hunger RACES
among the populace. The high cost
Of food is terrible. Bread costs as
much as 1GO. 200 rubles a Pud tao

eating material, just so we have bread
we are satisfied.
II have a family Of eight and have
to support them alone. l am tired Of
my life. It is Impossible to drag any
longer. l am asking you as a last
hope to do something for us, as star
walton stares US in the face, and we
can't escape it. Give us some advice
as to how we can get away from here
to your country. Probably you can
send US Some papers that will help US.

viii never get it; the government will
take it"
The above is the state Of society
under a socialist form of government,
Il will he well for US to remember this
when cur socialist friends commence
their zap against capital and capital
lists. Our present government may
not be perfect, but the picture Of
Russia's socialism shows that there
areother depths of restitution and deg
radiation to which hated capitalism
has never vet been able to descend.
