. TRAITORS TESTIMONY.

In the December issue of the
American Magazine Bruce Bar
ton has a long and bitter article
against Bolshevism, and the
main bulk Of the article seems to
be quoted from a book by John
Spargo. And Barton tries to
make great capital out of the al
legged fact that Spargo is a So
clalist. The idea is that quoting
a Socialist against Bolshevism
would be powerful strong evi,.
dence of it's badness.
Maybe so.
But
John Spargo is not a Socialist.
There was a time years agowhen
he claimed to be a Socialist. But
later he gained wealth and pop
ularity as a writer, and his sue
cess turned his head. He de-
serted the poor mans party and
lined up with the plutes, where:
he has since remained. During
the war he was one of the big
gest war jingoes in the whole
push, and as a result he made
himself solid with all the powers
of plutocracy.
You will occasionally find ~
man like that, who will let a lit
tie success ruin him. But wher.
you find one traitor. among the
Socialist writers you will find
many who remain true to their
class no matter what happens.
And so a quotation from John
Spargo against Bolshevism is
about as valuable as a chicken
thief's opinion of a bull dog.

A CHUNK OF u

A man by the name Of Frank
P. Walsh was one of Woodp1le
Wilson's right=hand buddies a
few years ago. He was Chair
man of the Industrial Relations
Committee for awhile: and did
the cause of labor some good
service.
Of course it wasn't Weodpile's
fault that Frank was an honest
man. Woodpile didn't know it
whenthe appointment was made.
So the government had to just
put up with Franks honesty. till
it could get rid of him.
The record Of Frank P. Walsh
shows him to be one of the very
few public men who have shown
a disposition to give labor a
square deal. And here is a post
election statement from Frank
that rings true:
Eugene ". Debs is a man who
stands out SIS a great American
figure, on whose body are the
wounds and scars Of the battles
he has fought for the masses.
The people will never know the
millions of votes cast for Debs.
for they will not be counted, and
the conspiracy of silence main
tanned by the press will suppress
even the figures that the polite
ians may give out"

ONE OFF HI
TRACK

A4S<AAA
There is a little paper called
Present Truth Messenger pub
lished down in Florida. + has
many good things init from time
to time, and | always enjoy read
ing it. But mere lately I see it
is riding one hobby that will GER
tainly buck and throw it some of
these days.
What I mean is that the P. T..
M. is trying to convince itself.
and its readers that the Jewish
Question does not exist. It
thinks that question was. settled
for all time away back in the
past somewhere-possibly in the
year7OA. D. It takes the posi-
ton that the Jews were perma-
nently cast off, and that they
will never be restored to favor
any more. It stubbornly ignores
the voluminous prophecies of Is
rael's national glory in the latter
days-prophecies that cannot
possibly be applied to anything
else but literal feshly Israel.
How intelligent people can be
so blind is. a mystery to me
Why; goodness sakes alive,
where are their eyes? What's
the reason they can't see that
the thing they deny is already
coming to pass? The race that
has been scattered and homeless
for $500 years is already taking
it's place at the head of the ma
lions. Nobody will deny that
individual Jews and groups OF
Jews control the worlds biggest
affairs. And they have forced
the Peace Conference and thl
League OF Nations TO give them
a free hand in Palestine. o.
course they are going to be re
stored to national existence, ane
they are going to rule the world
The very same prophecies that
tell of their long ages of disper.
sion and suffering also tell Of
restoration and glory. W. know
very we'll that the first part has
been fulfilled, ard we only hav,
to look around us to see tina.
the last part is BEING fulfilled
rigfs before our eyes.
The only reason | can thinl
of why people do not see thes'
things is because they refuse tt
look. They have just chawed OF
the old dry straw Of orthodo,
error so long that they do no
know good prophetic fodde
when they see it, They hay
been satisfied to have the
thinking done by a few marrow
minded "expositors" who could

The Best Cough Syrup. is Homemade.
 Here's an easy way te sAve =, and yet hAvs the h0ak eoggh remedy
 yea ever tRaea-

You've probably heard of this we'll known plan of making cough syrup at home. But have you ever used over, feel that they could hardly keep house without it. It's simple and cheap, but the way it takes hold of cough will soon earn it permanent place in your home.
 Into pizt bottle, pour 2A ounces of Pinex; then add plain grapuiated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if desired, use clarified Ec1assee, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either vay, it tastes good, never spoib, and EIves you full pint of better cough remedy than you could buy re.dy y-Hade for three times it's cost.
 It is really wonderful how quickly this homemade remedy eonquers 2 eougA-usually in 24 hours or less. It seems to penetrate through every air passage, .loesens a dry, hearse or tight cough, lifts the phlegm. heals the mem branes, and gives almost inn- mediate relief. Splendid for throat tickle, hoArsenesS, crouP, bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
 Pinex Is a highly concentrated com. pound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, and has been used for genera ticns for throat and chest siiEeRts.
 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "21H ounces of Finex" with directions, and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give sbso- lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Fi1ex Cs., It. Wayne, Ind.
