Letters From trie People
B. It. Smalloy, Pond Creek, Okla.
I see in your issue of August 2ft
some suggestions by Harry A. "Wim
per that if carried out would reform
a whole lot. But just one reform
would coma near, breaking the' back
of tho pirates. Take away the presi
dent's veto and his appointive power.
This would be enough for one time.
O. F. Lamoreaux, Omaha, Neb.
For nearly a generation Mr. Eliot
has been the head of the first edu
cational institution established in
this country. Poor ministers con
tributed their libraries and poor men
gave a peck of corn a week to estab
lish an institution to educate godly
ministers for the needs of the new
world. Centuries afterward, when
Harvard had grown to be a great and
powerful institution, of which one
of its critics said that it would spend
two million dollars to find a new
bug, but not a cent to help crushed
humanity out of its hopeless condi
tion, at a time of great depression
and suffering for the laboring masses,
when many thousands of laborers in
Chicago, where I then lived, could
get nothing to do, and would have
starved to death, but for charity, its
distinguished and in many ways
noble president came to that city to
beg money for endowment of the
college to hang as a mill stone
around the neck of the men and
women who toil, for such is usury.
There was a general invitation to
the public to hear him, and special
Invitation cards were sent to the rich
exploiters of the laborer, whose acts
had more or less to do with making
hard times for the masses. As one
of the public I listened to the elo
quent description of what the uni
versity had done to make us the
great people we were, Knowledge
was power; and the college was the
great fountain of knowledge. He
did not tell us that it depends on
the use made of it whether superior
knowledge is a good thing. The tor
nado and. the tidal wave develop ir
resistible: power; but- are not more
certainly destructive of human, well
being than misapplied knowledges
The tragi-comedy- of tariff revision,
that has occupied, the public stage
for months, clearly illustrates the
power of perverted knowledge, and
is a fair exhibition of what our col
leges have done and are doing for
the laboring people. President Eliot
has had p. for nost part in this great
work of developing power, and he
made no effort, as far as the public
knows, to give it a more just and
equal trend. Religion is what the
term in its origin means, a tying
back, or again, a re tying. When, as
all things, connected with- men do, a
former tying has for any reason
failed, or become obsolete, there has
to be a new tying, a retying, a' new
religion. In common with most men
who do any thinking on that line,
Mr. Eliot sees that there must be a
retying of humanity a new relig
ion. But what shall we say of the
fitness of a man to describe that
new religion, the labors of whose
life, in connection with those of other
men, have been to produce a state
of affairs in which intelligent men,
including himself, see clearly that
there is cogent need of an entirely
new deal in human affairs, which the
need of a new religion implies. Tying
back implies something to tie to.
What ails present human conditions
is failure to tie them to their true
or right anchorage, hence they must
be retied tied to the truth. Nine
teen hundred years ago, He that
brought the new religion said "I am
tho way, the truth and the life."
When, during his stay, and after
hia departure, the truth which he
was developed tho way of life of his
followers It ,waa communism the
true commonwealth. But that com
munism was seed, and seed to mul
tiply Itself has to die, as is the law
of seed. Jesus said, "Except a corn
of wheat fall into the ground and
die, it remains alone, if it die it
bringeth forth such fruit." The
world is soon to learn again what
the great apostasy, caused it to for
get that the object of the coming
new religion is not siihply to better
man's spiritual condition,' but to
bring new and perfect conditions of
body, soul and spirit, restore the
commonwealth in which riches and
poverty will cease. The Commoner
ends it comment on Dr. Eliot's new
religion by saying: "He seems to
have overlooked the fact that at the
birth of the Founder of Christianity
angels sang and proclaimed 'Peace
on earth and good will to men.' The
Why
Don't you glvo your heart the same
chance you do tho other organs?
Why? Because when any other
organ Is In trouble, it refuses to work,
and you hasten to repair It.
Tho heart, tho over faithful servant,
novor refusos as long as It has power
to move, but continues to do tho best
It can, getting weaker and weaker, un
til It Is past repair, and then stops. It
Is just as sick as tho other organs,
but because It will work you let it.
However, It's not too late for a
"change of heart" so remember
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
will give your heart strength and vi
tality to overcome Dizziness, Palpita
tion, Short Breath, Faint Spoils, Pains
In Heart and Side, and all other Heart
aches and difficulties.
"My heart would acho and palpitate
terribly, and at times I could hardly
breathe. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure has re
stored mo tp perfect health, and I am
very grateful. MISS EMMA J. BAR
