NOT FINISH THE JOB! Now the city is to be given another opportunity With the Elks in charge, a new campaign to raise the balance is to be conducted for two weeks, beginning next Monday. The money will be spent to build a young woman's board- ting home and a central service building, the latter structure to be used as a central headquarters for the Salvation Army and also providing accommodations for men in need, besides free dispensaries and other relief departments, Campaign headquarters have been established at Hoge Annex. ae On Prophecy moving fast that the profession of the toore and more precarious, The honored prog of today dixeredited on the morrow, his prophecy being quickly disproved by the| event. How many forecasts of what the world would be like after the war have come true? | Once upon a time a leading statesman would venture a prophecy and get away with it, because the processes of history were moving siowly that not until after he was 4 could it be determined whether he was a true prophet. And by that time his prophecy had been forgotten. | However, the © of George Washington demonstrates that even |long-listange prophecy is not always safe: Falling into a prophetic | mood one day in the last years of the 18th century, Washington put into writing his vision of “mankind, connected, like one great family, in fraternal ties.” He noted that | their policy”; Seattle DID 207 be iw History so prophet ta | com re “the nations are becoming far more humanised that “the » of ambitions and causes for how | tility are daily diminishin, and, in fine, that “the period fs not | very remote, when th benefits of a liberal and free commerce will) | pretty generally succeed the devastations and horrors of war.” Since Washington wrote these lines, the world has been mcked by} | many big and little wars, including the Napoleonic and our own greatest Jot all wars; and Eure till is affiicted with a number of ware and Washiagton’s vision of “mankind, connected, like one great family, in fraternal tic still in unrealized. Moreover, there flourishes today a school of cynical prophets who jsay that, far from being the successor of war, as Washington predicted, commerce and its rivalries will be the causes of future wars! | The Creed of Hate The Rev. Francis Kelley, national chapinin of the American Legion, speaking in Cleveland the other day, remarked that a nation waa to be judged worthy of existence as a nation by its ability to fight, and that the aim of America should be not to be loved, but to be feared. One might say that this comes somewhat discordantly out of the Mouth of a man wearing the livery of the Gentle Nazarene, but that would not be to the purpose. What is more important is that it comes discordantly from 4 man weartng the citizenship of an American. Surely the sentiment quoted is none other than that which was yesterday the creed of Germany. Surely it was that creed which united the world against German hatefulness and brought about her downfall. If America ever adopts the bellef that it tw better to be feared than to be loved, she will invite the fate which has befallen Germany. And she will deserve it. Example Carlyle had labored for months gathering material work, “The French Revotution.” He had much of the manuscript completed, written in those biting sen. tences for which he afterward became famous Written in long-hand, the mere physical not inconsiderahle. A careless servant destroyed the precious Mas. Carlyle was in despair. He fiung his pen aside, thinking never to take it up agnin. For weeks he moped about, unable to overcome his discouragement One day, he watched a man laying bricks. He was just a common workman, except that he was in loye with hin work. He tapped every brick, he laid and leveled it, and the stroke of his trowel was a caress. | Every little while he step back and took a survey of his work, with the gratified eye of an artist Being in love with his work, number of bricks he was to his hands. Carlyle was thrilled with the tfian's by his earnestness of purpose He set to work again upon his great work and in a few weeks had recovered his lost ground. The book was completed and ranks as one of the world’s masterpieces, But wasn't the humble bricklayer as re#ponsible as Tammas Carlyle for the masterpiece? in jects for bis great labor of penning it was tid not count the hours or limit the lay and his work grew rapidly under/| attitude of mind and shamed Harvest on Saturday, October 9th, was over $5,000.00 It would have been $0,000.00 If that money had been kept at EVERETT TRUE H@cco, EVORGTT, OLD scouT?
