OUR DAILY BREAD
A Sermon by John Stark on a Text
the Children Gave
"Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive our debts." "folks must
'nt say their prayers where anybody
hears 'em!" "Who said so?" "Jim."
"Jim who?" "Brother Jim." "Well,
papa always does." " 'Taint right,
'cause Jim read it this morning."
The children were at play and serv
ing an imaginary dinner without tak
ing any heed of me, but as I was still
a young man perhaps they did not
feel abashed. I thought what a pity
that the children could not pull off
their mimicry on some theatre stage,
n.v.ai.a wa ffnA boa ourselves as chil
dren see us, but the environment
would not be suitable. However tne
childrens' prattle struck home and I
said half aloud "out of the mouths of
sucklings and babes." I went to my
dismal lodgings but went a mile out
of my way while, repeating to myself
what I could recollect of those fami
liar passages. "Give us this day our
daily bread.
It was about the time of the Land
League movement in Ireland, wherein
I had taken a great deal of interest.
Not because of any hereditary senti
ment, but to me the Fourth of July
was the climax of freedom and while
I had never read the memorable
words of Paine, in my crude way of
thought, felt "Where freedom is not
there is my country."
Having read of the hunger in the
Emerald Isle, the first thought was
along the line of why; as the Irish
were such devout Christians, should
they want for bread? It was a short
time after the famous "Rescript"
from Rome was made known, wherein
the Irish clergy were told not to take
part in the Land League movement.
Then followed the break down of that
memorable struggle for freedom at
the time when Parnell was at the zen
ith of his notable career.
I did not set out to write Irish his
tory only as it is incidently the strug
gle for freedom, the age long battle
for bread, which is very much the
same the world over, regardless of
national boundaries or creeds.
The prattle of the children brought
me a strange insight into the question
which had vexed . my mind during
childhood, for I had asked why people
pray in public, when Christ had so
strictly forbidden the practice. I was
told it was customary and it was not
for me to question the "men of God"
for their acts; such thoughts led to
unbelief and were from the devil in
order to lead me from the straight
and steep trail, and bring me to the
smoldering, bottomless pit which the
kind, loving father of us all had pro
vided for all whose feet might slip
while going up the step of time,
along the narrow way where toll
gates with tolling bells are located.
At this time I saw a light which be
wildered me. For days and the nights
that followed the days, in my fancy
I lingered about the Sea of Galilee,
and always reached the climax of .a
felon's death according to "law and
order." A few years before having be
come disgusted with the utter useless
ness of clericalism, the hollowness of
pretense, the professing and preach
ing of one thing but the doing of the
very opposite; in short the inconsist
ency of their actual lives as compared
with their talk, I turned my back up
on the church as nothing but a bunco'
game.
Now, however, the simple, artless
mimicry of children aroused a strange'
desire for "righteousnes's," "Except
ye become as little children!" Having,'
in the recent years a few stray glimp
ses into mythology, I learned that all
the Gods were surrounded by myst
ery, magic and poetry, in the descript
ion of their eventful careers; also that
people in each epoch built temples
where they worshiped and Rang an
thems to "the only truo God," all
others were spurious. Among these
people were the chosen divines, wise
and holy men who it were sacrilegious
to question.
All these Gods disappeared with
the people who so fervently had wor
shiped at the shrine of tho greatest
of Gods. In a general way they all
had about the same experience in
their relation to the two-legged mi
crobe who was marching to eternity.
About this time I becamo acquaint
ed with tho theory of tho materialis
tic conception of history I am pre
suming that you fully understand the
meaning of that iden, so will not take
up your time to explain; so it was a
simple problem to solve the story of
tho Man of Sorrows, who had no
place to lay his head, because his in-
Vinritnnrn hm) hrwn nTinrnnrint.eil liv
those who toiled not but lived Bump
tiously upon unearned increment tak
en in the form of rent.
Now thanks to the sucklings and
babes, I saw clearly tho class struggle
the battle for bread, not waged with
nature, not in toil by following a fork
ed stick for a plow on the sloping hills
of Judea, but tho battle between the
toiler and the despoilor among man
kind. Slowly, by the light of such history,
which it was my fortune to obtain,
situated as I was, driven by necessity
to earn my daily broad; surrounded
by poverty in all tho things which af
ford comfort and enlightenment;
which is everywhere the fate of the
working cluss. I sought out the logic
of the story by tho light of reason,
following that philosophy.
By and by amid similar conditions
as of the journeyman carpenter,
changed only by locality and indus
trial developments, I saw why the
currents of human thought had been
diverted from his teachings by the
priosts of Mamon, and were used to
turn the wheels of the economic mas
ters; to grind profits out of the hopes
and fears of tho working class! Why,
we were taught to hold our hands to
ward heaven while God's footstool
was stolen from under our feet.
Give us this day our daily broad,
and forgive our debts, now for the
. .. t i i t .
Iirst lime nau a minimi meaning, ior
bo long as we are in debt we are not
free men, even tho we are possessed
of our daily bread.
No more did I seek for a mysteri
ous indescribable, what is it being
half man, wholly God, a child of doubt
ful parentage, who, tho allwise, will
ingly went to a 'felon's cruel death,
which failed in its purpose. Instead I
saw the son of mun toiling among his
fellows and teaching them that to
them belonged the world the things
ttieiv labor created. To the down-trod
den, useful members of the race he
spoke the message oi ireeaom ana,
like the hero of Ossowatomic, he went
to his death, but his soul went march
ing on.
Now, in order to bring the half ar
roused toilers back where their labor
would create the things of human
comfort for the loafing class, the
fountain that was filled with blood
was poisoned with the soul drug, with
the promise of future plenty and hap
piness after death, if they would only
permit themselves to be plundered in
peace while they were alive. It was a
grand success as we can see all
about us.
"What fools! Upon this stage of
life they do play many parts; they
worship a creed that damns them be

while they live, and burns them after

"PEACE ON EARTH"
And then We Spend 72 per Cent of
Revenues to Kill our Brothers
Burke, Idaho, Apr. 4.
The Courier:
Now Easter has come and gone, and
so has all fools' day, and we have been
fooled again, that is at least some ot
us, and this has been going on ever
since the first Easter morning.
"Oh yes, peace on Earth good will
toward men." When the following is
true of this so-called Christian nation
which was delivered in an address at
the "peace" banquet at Chicago May
4, 1909, quoted in Unity June 3rd,
1U09.
The fact that we are spending, dur
ing this fiscal year, 72 per cent of our
aggregate revenue in preparing for
war and on account of past wars
(penions of interest and principle
payments on war debts) leaving onlj;
28 per cent of our revenue available
to meet all other government expend
itures, including internal improve
ments such as rivers and harbors,
public buildings. Fine showing for a
"Christian" nation.
Peace on earth good will toward
men.
The total cost of militarism in the
United States for 1907-8 was over
six and a half times as great as the
total income ($00,790,942) of all our
464 universities, colleges and technic
al schools, from all ' sources and for
all purposes for that same year. "See
report of Commission of Education
for 1908, Vol. 2. Pages 16-17." Why
not?
"Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men."
Were half the power that fills the
world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on
camps and courts,
Given to redeem the world from error
There would be no need of arsenals
and forts.
Henry Longfellow
"The Arsenal at Springfield."
"Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men," in impossible under an indus
trial despotism, were one man ex
ploits his fellow men for personal
guin, backed up by an' armed guard,
where one injustice takes the place
of justice and wealth rules supreme.
A good butcher gets about $100 per
month; a slaughter house butcher
about $00 and a soldier, who hires out
to butcher his fellow men, gets from
$13 to $15 a month and the militia
man goes them one better and does
it for nothing. Sure "Peace on Earth
Good Will Toward Men." Why not?
But that is impossible where most
of the Christian Nation toil, toil, toil,
for cheap food, cheap clothing and
cheap everything, even a cheap edu
cation, and then be forever socially
snubbed and damned for their lack
of leisure, culture and cash. And this
is upheld by a lot of cheap palavers
who claim to represent the men who
said "Peace on Earth, Good Will To
ward men. Come out in the open,
Brother, and deeare for right and
justice, You may go a little hungry
once in a while and your broadcloth
may need brushing,, but you will find
it is worth it all. to try and bring"
"Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men," on earth as a reality, in place
of just a pretty Easter phrase.
Yours for justice,

MR. OGLESBY'S VIEWS
When an Official Does not Make Good
Fire him-Off the Job
Editor Courier:
As the taxpayers are anxious to
know just how Beatie and Blair are
runnine our county business I wish to
say a few words.
Myself, as a fanner, hire several
men during the year and as I am do
ing the paying, I require certain kinds
of work done. If I get a man that is
not doing what I want done and for
which I pay him, I do not keep him,
but "fire" him and hire a man that
WILL do as I want done.
Now, Mr. Taxpayer, are you under
any obligations to keep men on the
County Board to do your work and
that you believe are not doing what
they were paid for.
At the taxpayers' meeting at Oreg
on City it seemed to me that all the
charges were against Mr. Beatie. Now
I wish to sav that Mr. Blair is as
much to blame as is Mr. Beatie. It
seems Blair is afraid to stand up for
his rights and for the rights of what
I think is due to tne taxpayers.
If the charges made by Mr. Olds
are true it puts Mr. Blair in a bad
lieht with the taxpayers, as he could
have prevented some of these alleged
wrong bridge contracts. What the vot
ers want is a commissioner that will
not lay down and let the county
lucltre be the whole thing.
A commissioner should have back
bone enough so that when he thinks
any jpb is being put through, to take
that man by the "nape" of the neck
and throw him in the street.
The friends of Mr. Blair in this
part of the county are disappointed
at the way in which he has served
them and if he was running for the
same position he would only get the
votes of those who are county pap
suckers or in other words those that

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.
Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; It's only when
the system Is run dowti and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold. Now Isn't It reasonable that tho
right way to euro a cough Is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, N, C, says: "I took Vlnol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and tho cough not only disap
peared, but It built up my strength
as woll."
'The reason Vlnol Is so efficacious In
such cases Is becanso It contains In a
delicious .concentrated form all tha
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, blood-building
iron added.
" Chronic coughs and colds yield to
V(nol because It,, builds up tho weak

mean for the first time . in human
history, a real civilization. In our
savage state the universal business of

function of tribal government. The in

needs, prominent among which, are
our postal, highway and school sys

attacked, just as the proposal of Soc
ialism has been, and continues to be:
They were looked upon as innovat
ions that were dangerous to personal
liberty, unjust and impracticable. The
proposition to carry a letter across
the country for two cents, to people
who had no conception of organized
society, seemed altogether impossible,
and the advocate was looked upon as
a wild eyed agitator much the same
as the normal person of today looks
at the proposition of carrying a pass
enger across the country for a dollar
or so of actual expense. The well to do

that a general education of the people
would destroy their usefulness, and
disqualify them from being "just com
mon people." The prevailing notion
was that only tho well-to-do should be
educated and prepared to manage the
affairs of government. Today educat
ion has become compulsory, and we
are well on the way to the supplying
of free text books, and even food and
clothing to our school children. Soc
iety has begun to learn that each child
is an asset to be devoloped to its
greatest degree of utility, and that
for every uneducated and neglected
child society must answer to itself.
The chief obstacle to the full de
velopement of the collective idea, is
that old savage instinct of individual
ity. This is our modern business world
means the ability to extract profits,
to acquire that acumen to success
fully come into possession of some
thing produced or possesed by anoth
er, by means of trade or barter. That
old commercial instinct has become
so thoroughly implanted in us, that
we regard speculating or trading in
commodities with more dignified im
portance than their production, and
this practice has become so general
that we are seeing its effects in the
increasing difficutly of a great mass
of humanity to acquire anything like
a decent and respectable existence in
a country with boundless resources
and teeming with wealth. The matter
of tariff on commodities will not meet
this difficulty; for just so long as we
adhere to the rule of producing and
distributing commodities on a gam
ling basis, instead of for social use so
long will these difficulties remain
with us.

MATTER IN DOUBT
Fair Directors Don't Know Whether
or Not State Money is Coming
The Enterprise of Wallowa county
says the matter of state aid of county
fairs is up in the air, that all the
counties of Oregon seem to be in the
same boat, and that no one seems to
know what the state can or will do
this year.
It appears that the last legislature
passed a bill intended to provide aid
for county lairs in a oinerem- nmimci.
A tax of 1-20 of a mill was authoriz
ed to raise money for the different
fairs. This law goes into effect June
3, 1913. Now the question arises, how
will the fairs get aid for this fall?
The old law apparently has oeen wip ed
off the statute books and the 1-20
mill tax cannot be levied and collect
ed until next year.
A. C. Miller, president of the county
fair association, wrote to Secretary
of State Ben W. Olcott immediately
after the passage of the new law
asking light on the question. Mr. 01-
cott's reply did not shed any ngni.
Since then Secretary Moorenouse oi
the district fair at Pendleton has
written to Mr. Olcott and got a reply
that no state money would be avail
able this year. The Portland Journal
recently printed a saiem aispaicn
stating that the new millage tax law
provides for fairs this fall.
It was the impression of legislators
that the legislature, in its closing
hours, made provision for the 1913
fairs. But until authorative announce
ment is made of this from Salem, no
body will feel quite sure how the fairs
will get along this year.
