Herron I says: "Christianity today stands for what is lowest and basest in life. The church of today sounds the lowest note In human life. It is the most degrading of all human In stitutions, and the most brutalizing In its effects on teh common life." For quasi-Socialists I might quote what Rev. St. John Tucker said at the Garrick theatre, Chicago, in 1915 "Ninety-nine per cent of Socialists are atheists. A so-called Christian Socialist is a hybrid. Atheism is dom inant in the works of all Socialist writers. Socialist science isthe de nial of all religion."

" All along the Catholic church has seen and warned the world ; against the tenets ot Socialism, although now certain societies are taking a stand ...n. it Thv have caught - a glimpse ot Its claws and are fright ened. The Catholic ehurehjhaa not opposed Socialism because it; Is a po ! lltical party, as has been said, hut be cause it is a' pronounced and eonfeeed enemy of, Christianity, and in particular of the Catholic church. Since we cannot touch alj phasea of Bolshevlc-Soclalisoi, we will con fine ourselves as far as possible to its- anti-Christian i principle. Chris tianity teaches the existence ot God, th divinitr of Christ and : the . ob servance of the lfr commandments. It which abolishes a private mill will soon do away with all private proper ty. If it is right and advisable for tbe state to own and operate the ' banks .then ft is right for the state1 to own and operate all lines of bnsi ness Including farms, factories, boot blacking establishments and peanut stands. If the state has the right to put the banker out of business, the federal government has. the right to monopolize all trades, industrles .ete. Which would In turn put the state out of business. Thus we see the first steps of So cialism are apparently easy. It works beautifully as long as it is striking the other fellow. But, oh, the howl when. it strikes, home.- and he dis covers that Utopia has' not been reached! Anti-Christian Influence Shown. But "what we are particularly In terested vin is the anti-rellgious or anti-Christian spirit of Bolshevism. Tbe essence of Socialism the root of Bolshevsm is found in the abo- irhi that He is the ruler ot the ' .. , : - . will ntmt m iv"vm' ""Ma HUK,T7 l " vvni ' tniverse, wbo e obeyed by the nations as well as by tbe individual. He governs. the destinies of the human race by His divine providence, and is Himself the last and supreme end of all, men. HmUlUnt Denies God. Socialism denies all this by making nitorhllmi the basis of its whole philosophy and by proclaiming the commonwealth Las the supreme and Independent ruler of all things. And, Bolshevism Is the ligitlntate off spring of Socialism. The cause of Bolshevism Is. forst of all. Socialism, and Socialism Is the outgrowth of anti-rellglous training.. Possibly we arc not too far reaching in saying that education without religion Is the root of it all. i i Mr. Henry Hyde, sent by the Chi cago Tribune lo atudy and report conditions In Europe, defines Bolshe vism as follows. "Bolshevism, means that the church, home; school and all institutions we'call cIvIMxed shall ne destroyed: that banks shall; be looted rtf all ;isb... and all debts, public and private, shall be repudiated; that marriage' shaTl be outlawed; and free j love the rule,- It was remarked oy one when the report was read. 'What ; a wondertnl ub-tituta-for civiliza tion! The Bolshevists have given us not merely a:d',w,- stration in gov ernmental inaaoUy. but tbe Socialist Interpretation of the 'Brotherhood ot man.'" It hsi been poitned out that Quasi Soclallsts. carried away by sentiment based upon theory, forget that it haa often been such dupes as themselves who have fathered the movements of ill-starred reformat But; when it comes to an Issue, they are never the leaders and never dominate in the hcni of triumph. We might trust some rrtvcites for Socialism, but never feuch monsters as enlne and Trotzky. . ti , Something of a lesson might be mon ownership or an lana and au toots of production and distribution.

'In support of this assertion I wish to quote one of the recognfzed leaders of Socialism, one who makes or helps to make Its dogmas'. . August Rebel, in his Jubilee edi tion of "Wo ban and Socialism." page 407. says: "In the new society wom an will be entirely independent.. In the choice of love she is as free and unhampered aa man. She wooa or Is wooed, and enters into a union nromnted hv nO other consideration but her own feelings. The union Is a private agreement without the in terferenec-of a , functionary. Just as marriage had been a private Agree ment until- far into tbe middleages Here Socialism will create nothing new; it will merely reinstate on a higher level.of civilization and under a different social form, what gener ally; prevailed before private proper ty dominated society." - On page 33 he says: "The Teign of mother-right implied a commun ism; equality for all; the rise of father-right implied the reign of priv- ; ate property, and with it the oppres- Is Backache MaMsg Tpii aTBziBBn asBBBVBsl sbbbM ajSBBaw If IT isn't right to drag along from day to day feeling weak, miserable half ick . .You want to bewell,sand ..' .

On naee 17 he tells us that before "pri vate property dominated society alt the women belonged to all the men and all the men belonged to all the women. Another Socialist writer.

I am eciytoo glad to tell others wno are subject to back ache, ss T used to be, that Doan's Kidney Pills are very reliable and effective for that trouble." MILLjTREET . - W, G. Johnson, gardener. 1021 Mill street says: "Taking cold and. over-exerting myself brought on kid ney trouble. For two years I suffered with pain In the small .of my back, right across my kidneys. My back ached at night and in the morning I felt tired and lame. 1 was languid and nervous, also. Head aches and dizzy shells bothered me and my, sight blurred. The kidney secretions didn't pass often enough and they contained sediment. Finally I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and after taking them, was greatly relieved. Doan's sure are fine." HIGH STREET Joseph Wint. retired blacksmith. 4(8 High street, says: "My back and kidneys bothered me. My kid .neys were disordered and my back seemed to lose strength. A short use of Doan's Kidney Pills soon put ie right." Over Five Years Later. Mr. Wint said: "My opinion or Doan's Kidney Pills is Just the same today aa it was when I gave my first endorsement.

Knowing how highly some of our Salem citizens endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills, I started using them, and found them Just tbe thing to rid me of the pains and disorders.
