SOME THING TO
THINK ABOUT
r. z a w AT r
THE TRUTH

THE most powerful thing In the
i world is Truth.
A lie, while it seems to have pow
er, is the most useless and ineffective
thing conceivable.
For many centuries the world be-
lieved that the sun revolved around
the earth.
That was not the truth. And all
the centuries of believing lie did not
vary the course of our globe hairs
breadth.
1t is probable that we are still be-
lieving many lies because we do not
know the truth.
In medicine, In theology, in physics,
in score of the realms Of investiga-
ton, our knowledge is so incomplete
that we wander about in search OF the
truth, believing meantime lie or
only half truth.

Playing Safe

"Sir, you contradict yourself"
swell, you can't say I'm not right !"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-10-01

You may lead a fool to talk, but
YOU cannot make him think.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-10-01

Practically all our troubles come
from not knowing the truth.
Christ, whose wisdom was as great
as His goodness, said: "Ye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make
you free"
Free from what? Free from the re-
suits of believing an untruth, for once
we know the truth no one can make
us believe its opposite.
Because of the value Of the truth
every man, women and child should
make the greatest effort to acquire
it-should strive for it with indomi-
table energy and unending struggle.
The invention of movable types and
the development of the printing press
has done more to make the truth
available and spread its knowledge
than was done in all the centuries
that preceded them.
1t may be that you, IL you apply
yourself to this great mass of infor-
nation, may be the one to set the
whole right on something about which
1t Is now wholly mistaken.
When Harvey discovered the truth
that the blood circulated through the
arteries and veins he upset all the no
tons Of the medical world, which had
hitherto thought 1t necessary to bleed
patients In both arms to keep the bal
ance Of blood even.
Columbus wrecked a whole world
of Biographies when he set sail from
Spain to find out the truth about the
| lands to the West.
More recently Einstein riddled the
| theories of the scientific world by
proving the truth that ray of light
| thought to be the one straight thing
In a crooked world, may be bent by
| the force Of attraction.
Seek the truth in everything. DIG
for It, Struggle for 1t.
1t is the only kind Of knowledge
worth possessing.
It is the one thing that never loses
its value.
It is the same yesterday and tomor
row.
1t Is the essence of Immortality.

FURRIERS' union
HEADS FAIL TO
SELL new YORK
Reactionaries Terrorize
Chicago Left Wing

The Millstein machine Of the Fur
Workers Union of Chicago, Local No.
As, has become suddenly generous. At
regular meeting of the executive
board, the union machine recommend
ed that 81 1000 be sent to New York to
the International Union for the New
York strike. The left wingers had
some suspicion about the recommend
alton but nevertheless they decided
that as long as there is strike in
New York City of 10000 fur workers,
that they would concur in the motion.
There was no opposition.
One thousand dollars were needed
and were forthcoming-not to help
the strike, but to help the interna-
tional officers break the backbone of
the strike. Money was needed to pay
hall rent, hire gangsters, and all such
paraphernalia. The business agent, a
lackey of the fur manufacturers, was
ready and anxious to do the job. After
the lackey Of the bosses in New York
saw that the politicians here in Chi
cago had a free hand, they called
them up and said, Drown the left
wingers," if you cannot get rid of
them any other way.
But Millstein and his machine were
fooled. Their hopes were short-lived.
AS soon as the news was flashed that
the furriers in New York cannot be
sold by their false leaders, their at
titude changed. This tool and lackey
Of the fur manufacturers is doing his
utmost to do away with the left wing.
The machine is doing all It can to
expel, fine, and suspend the militant
members. AS starter Sonnenschein
has been thrown out of the executive
committee; Grossman and Chambers
have been fined and suspended; 9TH
ers are on the list.
This method Of terrorism will not
get them very far. This terrorism will
be stopped.

themselves not only the price at which
automobiles shall be sofd, but the re-

He uggests, in view Of the open

factures and dealers, that wherever

stationthey should set up a co-opera-
tive seyice station near at hand, in a
tent orother shelter, and advertise to
their fcmer patrons that they are the

is the fst that at least two Of the
