HARD COAL PACT
PROBABLE TODAY
AT PH|LAPARLEY
LABOR FEDERATION
ASKS MORAL, MONEY
AID RAIL STRIKERS

Washington, Aug. o1.-Railroad
workers on strike are fighting the
fight of all workers" and should
have all the moral and financial as
s:stance" which the labor movement
can give them, an appeal issued to-
night by the executive council of the
Clared.
Signed by President Gompcrs ana
the entire membership of the Fed
eration's controlling committee, the
message reCounted the causes of the
rail strke-from the union view
points-asserting that it had been
called ito resist the imposition of
unfair terms and conditions of en-
rloyment" and asked general contri-
button Of funds from labor organiza-
tons to assist the strikers.
The struggle in which these
workers are involved is one which is
! important not only to themselves and
their organizations, the appeal said,
but to all organized workers and all
Americans who love justice and fair
dealings. 1t must he clear
to all wage earners and to all think
ing men that the policy which has
been pursued by the railroads has
been entirely in harmony with the
policies of all organizations of en-
ployers which, since the armistice,
have been seeking to weaken and de-
stroy the voluntary organizations of
the workers.
NO amount Of conscientious effort
and forbearancc on the part of the
workers, however. could overcome the
attitude and policies dictated by the
small but powerful groups of bankers
who control the finance of the rail-
roads. and who have compelled the
adoption by the railroads Of policy
Of bitter antaconism 70 the organiza
tons of the workers.
Finally. the decisions of the Rail-
road Labor Board compelled resist
! ance on the part of workers through
suspension of work. A wage emf ot
- cents per hour was established for
| section men, and this wage is the
/ oasis upon which all other wages are
calculated. The railroad sbor
workers are on strike to endeavor tc
secure living wage for the main
! fenance Of the American standard OF
llVlns. 1t is to be hoped
mat every union and its membership
individually and collcctiyely viii
again demonstrate its solidarity by
coming generously ana immediatel,

in cutting out what we call time
and saying it is not a part of
eternity.
Now listen:
If part of eternity is made
out Of time, don't you suppose
it all is?
Certainly.
[ am trying to show you that
time bears the same relation TO
eternity that the hour bears
to the day.
The day is made out of hours,
and any hour in the day is an
hour just the same. In like
manner, eternity is made out CT
infinitely multiplied sections OF
time strung out end to end.
Time is the only thing eternity
could be made out Of, and so if
time were to stop, eternity would
have to stop too.
Next time you hear anybody
talking about the lend of time"
you might call their attention
to this.

THERE'S A REASON"

You may think I am trying
to be silly and light-n1inded, just
because [ manage to sift in a
little fun and nonsense.
But you are barking up the
wrong tree again.
This is a very serious paper,
and it is trying to go to the
very bottom of all the deep pro-
blems that now vex humanity.
But in order to keep the folks
cheered up and in fit humor
to receive the Truth, [ some
times indulge in a little HARM
less fun. -
I get letters nearly every day
saying that my dope reaches
and convinces people who would
not receive the truth from any
other source.
Well, I am glad of that. And
it proves that [ am not wasting
my energy. Even if | did no..
thing more than to make people
laugh [ would consider that I
had been of some service. But
| want to do more than that.
[ want to have some part in
opening the blind eyes of the
people and teaching them the
great truths about the change
of dispensations and the New
World that we are now entering.
It is all so plain to me that I
don't understand why anybody
can fail to see it.

Volume XII.
THE APRIL FOOL ISSUE.

Since this is to be an April
Fool issue, I hardly know where
to begin with my chin-n1usic.
There is danger that I will make
it either too wise OF too foolish,
and you know just a little too
much of either would pluna spile
it.
It amt as easy to get up all
this wise foolishness and solemn
fun as you might think it is.
Just try it for about twelve
years and you'll see.
Every month for the past
twelve years and more I've had
to stand Ola my head and kick
holes in the air to amuse fifty
thousand readers. It looks like
/ would have been bald-headed
by this time, but [ amt. The
same auburn locks that decorat-
ed my dome Of thought twelve
years ago are there yet. Which
shows that hair and brains can
sometimes live together in
peace.
The Fool-Killer is a good deal
different from other papers.
Anybody that reads it one time
will agree to that. And mere diff
ference in style isn't the only
difference, either. For instance,
other papers have at least two
or three men (and sometimes a
dozen) that they can depend on
for the mental juice to fill their
pages But in this-here editori-
al joint there is nobody but old
Pearson to keep the hopper full.
II my personal supply Of fool
CAB runs out the mill has to
stop. Well, it has been running
for more than twelve years, and
it amt stopped yet. There is
not, never has been, and proba-
bly, never will be any other man
who can just exactly fill the bill
for Fool-Killer stuff. Several
have tried it and failed. Two
or three have even started Fool
Killers" Of their own and tried
to steal my thunder and my
fame, but they couldn't tote it
even after they got it in the
sack.
And I reckon that's why it
happens that old Pearson is
still the only and original Fool
Killer Man," with a perfectly
clear right and title to the name
and all the glory that goes with
it.
Furthermore, I have learned
a few things during these twelve
years. It has not all been fun
The fool-killer., 1922-04-01
TIME AND ETERNITY,

I have. just been reading an
article by a man who talks about
the end Of time and says we
are now fright on the edge of
eternity"
People who make such state
ments as that do not stop to
consider how it sounds.
The ledge of eternity"
Where would that be?
It would certainly be right at
one end OF the other of eternity.
It would be just before eternity
begun or just after it ended.
But reason and common sense
ought to teach us that eternity
never had a beginning and will
never have an end. Therefore
it never did have and never can
have an ledge.
You can mentally locate your
self at any point in eternity,
and you are no nearer to the
"end'' OF edge" Of it than you
would be at any other point.
Some people seem to have q
fool notion that there are TWO
eternities-an eternity Of the
past and an eternity Of the
future, and they think our little
slice of TIME has just been
spliced. in between these two
eterni les and does not belong
to either of them.
That's all nonsense.
There is but ONE eternity,
and it reaches all the way, wlCn-
out any break in it. The thing
that we call time is not some
thing separate and apart from
eternity, but it is just the little
section of eternity that we hap
pen to be occupying. IF we had
been placed a million years
earlier that section would have
been "time" to us, and the sec
tion we now occupy would have
been the eternity of the future.
So you see it is ALL time and
ALL eternity. There is no
difference, except in a relative
sense.
Suppose you take an ordinary
day and pick out q certain hour
in it. Would you claim that
the hour was not a part Of the
day? For instance, from nine
O'Clock to ten o'clock this morn
ing is an hour, but isn't it q
part Of the day as well? Certain
ly it is.
| And yet there would be just
as much sense in cutting out
that hour and saying it was not
a part of the day as there is

and foolishness by any means.
There has been a lot of serious
thinking mixed along with it. I
consider that my mind has been
broadened and my little bit of
education rounded out in a way
that it never would have been
except for this experience.
The Fool-Killer led me first
into Socialism, where I stopped
for. awhile; and then it led me
beyond Socialism into the great
er field of Bible Truth which
has been gradually opening up
for all who are willing to see.
In other words, when I started
The Feol-Killer [ was a blind
man trying to lead the blind.
But ia a very short while | got
nay political eye open and dis
covered Socialism. That was all
[ could see with just one eye,
and it looked to me like the only
thing that the world needed.
But two or three years later I
got my religious eye open and
discovered something still more
wonderful. [ still agree with
my Socialist friends that the
world is in the middle Of a bad
fix and must have help Or per-
ish; but [ now see that Socialism
alone and. unaided cannot save
the world. There is help COM
ing from another source which
the Socialists are not yet aware
of. These are times of pro-
Iphetic fulfillment. God is work
ing out His Divine Plan, and
there is no guess-work about
lit.
And now, honey, if The Fool
Killer has helped you as much
as it has helped me, I know you
don't begrudge the few little
dimes you have spent to pay for
it.
Now I must trot along.
Be good.

In addition to the items discussed
are also allowable as deductions from
gross income:
Item 90, Taxes-Ali taxes paid are
deductible except income and profits
taxes paid to the United States and
taxes assessed against local benefits
of kind tending to increase the
value of the property assessed" I'm
der "E-Credits and Exemptions" we
shall refer to certain taxes paid to
foreign countries or to United States
possessions and which are not allow
able deductions for reasons there
pointed out. If a bank or other cor
poration pays taxes on behalf of a
stockholder, the bank or corporation
may deduct the amount paid, but the
taxpayer may not do so.
incurred in the taxpayers trade or
business may be deducted. If the
taxpayer is reimbursed for some of
his losses by insurance or otherwise,
only his net loss may be deducted.
Item %. Other Losses-Even If the
loss is not incurred in the taxpayers
regular trade or business, but if it
occurs in connection with any lawful
transaction into which he entered for
profit: then such net loss may be de-
Quoted.
It has been held that the loss re-
sulting from the sale Of the taxpay-
er's own residence or Of his private
automobile is not deductible loss,
because the. purchase of the residence
or the purchase of the private auto
mobile was not a transaction entered
into for profit. If this assumption
can be overcome by proof to the con-
trary, the loss Is deductible.
Formerly many owners OF stocks
and bonds availed themselves of the
privilege contained in the old law and
established losses by means of wash
sales" The present law attempts to
eliminate this practice by providing
that, after November 23, 1921, no losses
shall be deducted where 1t appears
that within thirty days before or
after, the date" Of the sale of such
securities substantially identical
property" is reacquired, "and the
nroperty so acquired is held by the
taxpayer for any period after such
item 2s. Special Losses-The tax
payer is permitted to deduct the net
loss suffered by him as the result of
the destruction of his property by
fire, theft or other casualty to the ex-
tent not compensated by insurance or
otherwise. Thus, while the taxpayer
could not deduct the loss suffered by
him when he sells his private auto
mobile, he could deduct the full loss
suffered by him in case his automo-
bile were Stolen or destroyed by fire.
