WEIRD PROPHECIES
~
Out of the darkness comes
a voice, iprophecying the de-
struction of Garrett, which
town on November 6th fel in-
to the hands of the newly elec-
ted officers on the Socialist par-
ty ticket.
The voice from the dark-
ness was immediately met by
a voice from the light, with the
astonishing declaration, “Woe
be unto Garrett since she fell
into the hands of the Socialist
officers. Everything will now
have to be divided up. All
will be forced to go back to
Old Testament dave even to
the days of King Solomon,
when the wise old King of that
day ordered the stolen baby to
be divided into halves in order
that a dispute between two
women be successfully settled.’
Oh, but won’t some wonder-
ful things happen town there!
I certainly must remain a-
way from work a few days to
participate in this dividing up
scheme whieh the Socialists
will carry out when sworn in-
to office. fan
And there has been so much
stored away to be divided up.
Which reminds me of a fel-
low who happened to be travel-
ing in Berlin some years ago,
when he was apprized of: the
fact that the world : famed
singer, Sarah Bernhart, was to
be heard in the German city’s
big theatre. Suddenly a taxi
cab came along, and the trav-
eler, recognizing the driver
“thereof as an old friend, halted
him and said, “Hello, who are
you serving today?’ And the
driver replied, “I have the hon-
or and pleasure to drive the
world’s famous singer sto the
theatre.” TE
“Who is the singer?’ the
traveler inquired.
“Madame Bernhardt,”
driver retorted.
“May I look in and see her?”
asked the traveler.
“Certainly,” replied
driver.
But upon looking into the
cab the traveler cried out, “I
can see no one on the inside.”
“Well,” said the driver,
“that is her.” ' This was a
humorous reference to Ma-
dame Bernhardt’s leanness.
All of which clearly illustrates
what one could find in Garrett
to be divided up. So much
dividing up has been going on
in the past that there is noth-
ing left for the Socialists to
divide up.
The modern workingman.
under our chaotic capitalist
system, knows nothing but
work, eat and sleep. He is
forced to divide up his earnings
to such an extent that phe cap-
italist gets four-fifths ‘and. he
retains but one-fifth for him-
self. And then he is told that
the harder he has it in. this
life the easier he will have it
in the next.
sulting fable to survivé still in
this so-called intellectual age.
Writers and historians call our
attention often to the dark
ages, but, sorry to say, we are
not yet completely out of the
dark ages. Never was there
a truer saying than that of
Robert Burns, ‘“Man’s inhu-
manity to man makes countless
thousands mourn.” Oh, how
we practice economy and how
patriotic some people are for
the almighty dollar, causing
little children to be ground up
in the grist mill of modern cap-
italism.
Thousands of carloads of
life’s necessities may lay and
decay in the freight yards, in
order that the human machine
may be squeezed for another
slice of that one-fifth of its
earnings; in order that the
idler may slumber on the flow-
ery beds of ease.
But the time is not far dis-
tant when the prophecies of
St. James will com es-
ly the one
pecially
where he
the

«minds me, this time of Billy
Oh, what an in-|
garments are moth eaten, your !

the Lord of Saboath, ye have
lived in pleasure on the earth
and been wanton; ye have
nourished your hearts, and in
the days of slaughter ye have
killed and condemned the just,
he does not resist you.”
Oh, may the time soon be
here when we put into practice
daily the true principles of
Christianity, and not do as we
are at present: preach Chris-
etianity one day out of a week
and live the life of a rascal the
other six, which again re-
Murray’s little song, where he
sings:
“He goes to church on Sun-
day, he hands around the con-
tribution box,
You meet him in the office
on a Monday, he’s as crooked
and as cunning as a fox.
On Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
he robs evellybody that he can,
He goes to church on Sunday
so they say that he’s an honest
man.”—Contributed.
