By John I■'. Kendrick.
(Tune: "Onward, Christian Soldiers")
Onward, Christian soldiers! Duty's
way is plain:
Slav your Christian neighbors, or by
them be slain.
Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent
swill,
(eid above is calling you to rob and
rape and kill:
All your acts are sanctified bj the
I .amb on hi^rh:
ll you love the Holy Ghost, go mur
der, pray and die.
Onward. Christian soldiers, rip and
tear and smite!
I.el the gentle Jesus bless your dyna
mite.
Splinter skulls with shrapnel, fertil
ize Hie sod;
Folks who dn not -peak your tongue,
deserve the curse of Clod.
Sma.-h tin door.- of every home.
pretty maidens seize;
I'.-e your might and sacred right to
treat them as you please.
Onward. Christian soldier.-. Eat and
drink your fill;
Rob with bloody lingers, Christ o.
X's the bill.
Steal the farmer- savings, take their
grain and meat;
Even though the children starve, the
Savior's bums must eat.
Mum the peasant's cottages, orphan
leave bereft:
In .Jehovah.- holy name, wreak ruin
right and left.
Onward Christian soldiers! Drench
the land with gore;
Mercy is a weakness all the gods
abhor.
Bayonet the babies, jab the mother-.
! oo:
Hoist the eros- of Calvary to hal
low all you do.
File your bullet's nose.- flat, poison
every well;
Cod decrees your enemies must all
yo plumb to hell.
(Inward, Christian Soldiers! Blight
ing all you meet.
I'rampling human freedom under
pious feet.
Praise the Lord whose dollar sign
dupe- his favored race!
Make the foreign trash respect your
bullion brand of grace.
Trust in mock salvation, serve as pi
rates' tools:
History will say of you: "That pack
of c d fools."

Ralph llndil has been made president

former general superintendent, has
been made assistant general manag

The string fiends also have it that
I there are to be great improvements
and developments, among which are
the building of dams and development
of water powers and the electrifica
tion of the whole ascade division, to
gether with a thirty-mile tunnel,
"and other minor undertakings,"
It is quite certain that whoever has
control of the mail, he "minor un
dertakings" will be slow in develop
i ment, for according to the best infor
j mation the railroads are none of them
| in very easy financial circumstances
just now, nor will they be for some
time to come, and money is what
talks.
The American Army has hern cited
again and this time in a newspaper
office. The style sheet of a in id-west
ern daily newspaper has been revised
and the word army when it refers to
our democratic peace time Army will
in future start with a capital A he
cause of the service our soldier.- ren

in action, ours becomes an upper case

The adoption of the "12-hour work
day" by soviet Kussia indicates thai
they finally realize that the No Work]
All Play Policy cannot go on forever.
It is probable, however.that there will
continue to be a large number of the
"higher-ups" of the Soviet govern
ment who will continue the short

v;ist wealth and as entitled to shai

ci pts the modern idea that labor i.
not a commodity to be used in ac
cordance with "iron laws" of political]
economy. Perhaps Mr. Rockefeller
has come to the same view; but hr
"played the game" when it wa.« a
more ruthless game than now. and lii
wisely-bestowed philanthropj has no
ri xf relation to it.
As a captain of industry the twen
tilth century Mr. Ford is an import
ant figure in the readjustment nf our
industrial system. As a manufactur
er he has demonstrated thr tremen
dous saving in quantity production nf
-implied and standardized goods, lie
came comparatively late into thr

Hi.- workmen have been the best pa d
in the mechanical trades and it seemsl
to be expected that the famous $5-a
duj minimum wage i- soon to he
raised to ?8. Notwithstanding some
paternal attention to the worker--'
private affairs, which some of them
don't like, Mr Ford appears to have
little trouble in getting help and
keeping it. Such question* as collect
ive bargaining are chiefly academic
under such circumstances but (he
broad principles of fair dealing and
generous recognition *W the worker a.

known as Hiram Abiff, hi- last name.
however, not appearing in the Eng
lish Bible. It i.~ first met with in the
German translation, which was the
Aork of Martin Luther.
Luther translated the words. "Hu
rum, his father," in II Chronicles >i,
IH, and iv, 16, as Hiram Abiff, and
the same reading is now to be found
in the Swedish version. Calmet, in
hi* dictionary of the Bible, has point
ed out that the word "Huram" signi
fies "high intelligenre," and say.- that
Hiram was called "lather" by Solo
ii on, and the King of Tyre, because
he wa.- the chief director of the work
on the temple. It is dear that Hiram
could not have 1 n the father either
of David or of the King of Tyre.
Old Masonic tradition runs that
about four years before ihe building
of the temple, Hiram Abiff, as the
agent of Hiram. King of Tyre, pur
chased some curious stones from an !
Arabian merchant, and was told thai
thej had been found on an island in J
the Red Sea. King Hiram at onre |
sent his agent to investigate, and In
had the good fortum to discover that
many precious stom s were there. |
among them an abundance of topaz, I
with which the King of Tyre adorn, d |
Im palces and temples.

"Wrote a new psalm ol liftl—it :- j
"The Village Blacksmith."
And the house of the vitiate black- |
smith, built In 1811, still stands in
Cambridge, covered with vines and
shadowed by sleepy old trees, still |
sought after by tourists and lovei of
Ihe "'('. although the " |i ■ ndinjj
chestnut tree" has iieen cut down to ]
make room for the widening of Hat- |

Tt was the home of Dexter Pratt.
the village blacksmith and tin friend
of Longfellow, who immortalized him
and his smithy in verse. The I.:,
older family, who bone' i the pine
from the heirs of Mary Walker in
"Ml', have restored the place to its
former simple beauty.
Longfellow, in the Knickerbocker
Magazine in IS 10. first immortalized I
the place. ITe made a word picture |
of the village smithy and the black
smith, and also made a pen and ink
sketch of the chestnut free and the
smithy. The tree up to ISTfi spread
its branches in front of the house.
WHY in: LIKES THE ('. S. A.
"Why 1 am a Yankophile" is tin
subject of an article contributed 'i
Ultimas Xoticias by a Chilean who
had visited the United States. Some
of the reasons he gives for liking the |
L'nited Slates are:
Because when a person falls down
nobody laughs.
When, in the street, a person steps
on another's toes, they do not insult
each other.
The shopkeepers can leave their de- (
liveries on the doorstep.
People keep in line at ticket office, ;
and have respect for each others place
in the line.
Everybody takes a bath.
People have only one surname.
There is profound respect for the
police. The public fear the police
and not the police the public.
The people know how to walk in
the streets, always passing to the
right, and they do not stop to talk.
There is only "first-class" on rail
road trains and special cars for smok- !
ers.
Drunkards in that country are an
extinct species.
The name doesn't make the man.
but the man the name.
It is a sign of ill breeding not to
respect the opinions of others. (There
are two hundred religions in that '
country. '
Youths of 18 are in universities j
and not on the stock exchange or sa- j
loons.
Democracy co-exists with the gov-l
eminent.
The men know how to sing and are
not bashful about it.

Pictures and description! in catalogs, no matter how faithfully

If your local dealer were to sell you en the same plane m the
