"As for the financiers. 10 govern. ment would dream of conflict with THEM.” "It cannot be effaced from a man's soul, what his ancestors have prefer- ably and most constantly done . . . . It is quite impossible for a man not to have their qualities in his Constitu- tion, whatever ºppearances may sug. ºest to the contrary.” "We who find no small a musement In spying out the subtle tricks of old moralists and ethical professors. "This is an age with fundamentallº plebeian tastes.” "The sexes deceive about each other. . . .Thus man wishes Women to be peaceable, but the real fact is that woman is essentially un- peacable. She is like the cat no mat. ºr how well she assumes the de meanor of peacefulness.” “Does it not actually seem that some single diabolical will has ruled ºver Europe for 18 centuries in order to make a sublime abortion of man?” Tº say INGS OF NIETZSCHE. If you want to know who Nietzsche º: down the Encyclopedia Brit- … and turn to letter N. The latest sºons contain a fairly accurate ac- count of this remarkable man, the very foremost of modern philosophers. However, if you want to know what he wrote and what he intended, and what his ideal was, you must read his own works exactly as he wrote them. There are 16 volumes, ranging in price from $1.25 to $3.00 and $4.00 each. (See catalogues and lists for ºrded on request.) In case these prices are too high for you, we recom- mend a little imported pamphlet which gives an excellent and condensed idea of Nietzsche's greatest thoughts. It is a compilation of Nietzsche's most preg naut sayings. Our advice is not to read what con- mentators, apologists and journalists say about a great author. Get his own words. Don't trust what others tell you. It is always deceptive and a waste of time. Commentators are always liars. If they are priests or preachers or politicians, they cannot help lying about Nietzsche. Nietzsche's philosophy reminds one of the colossal figures of antiquity—the formidable heathen thinkers of the old heroic age in Greece and Rome and Gothland. - He assails the entire Asiatic evangel of Jesus and of Paul, as an expression. of the most abominably diabolical phil- osophy ever promulgated on earth for the weakening and corruption of tree peoples. Voltaire, Paine, Ingersoll, Spencer, Saladin, Huxley, Clodd, Nordau, are “good Christians" when compared to Nietzsche. Nietzsche whispers, just whispers, and behold the temples of the idols shiver and tremble to their founda. tions as if an earthquake rocked them. Read this pamplet and get a line on “the whispered thoughts that are as thunderbolts.” This pamphlet will fill you with amazement at the candor of the writer. Postpaid, 10c. "SAYINGS OF NIErzsch E. "I do not advise you to work but to fight. I do not advise you to conclude peace but to conquer.” “The Golden Rule! What is that after all but a sermon unto slavery?" "Christianity was a victory: a nobler type of character was destroyed by it. Christianity has been the greatest misfortune hitherto of mankind.” "My diet masculine is having its effect—my sayings of power and vigor. I feed men, not with flatulent vegetables but with warriors' food.” "I wait for higher men, stronger fighters, more victorious ones; such as are built four square in body and soul. Laugh- ing Lions must come." “At the basis of all these noble races, the beast of prey, the splendid animal, lustfully roaming in search of spoils and victory cannot be mistaken.” “When the swords crossed each other, like serpents with red stripes, our fathers grow fond of life. Then—the sun of all peace’—seemed unto them to be weak and lukewarm; and a long peace caused them shame. How they sighed when on the walls hung swords glittering but dry. Like ºn- to their weapons they thirsted for battle.” “The pride of warfare and power is the distinguishing badge of all true aristocrats." *Oversweet fruits the warrior liketh not. Therefore he Liketh woman. Bitter is even the sweetest woman.” "Man must be trained for war, and woman for the relaxa- tion of the warrior, A11 else is folly.” - "I bade them laugh at their owlish wise men, and whatever º sat warning them—a black scarecrow on the tree of life.” "Vigorous eras, noble civilizations see something contempt- ible in 'sympathy, in brotherly love' and in the lack of self assertion and self reliance.” "Brave, unconcerned, scornful, violent: thus Wisdom would have us be. She is a woman and a woman ever loveth the warrior only.” "Thou shalt love no one but thy friend: and above all things thou shalt hate thine enemy.” * Love your enemies hº to be invented by Jews—the Jews, the greatest haters that ever lived.” “Verily, I laughed myself ill many a time over the weaklings who thought themselves 'good' because they had lame paws.” “Far too many are born. For the superfluous ones the State was invented. Behold how it allureth them: how it devours and chews and masticates them " “Somewhere there are still peoples' but not with us, my brethren. With us there are herds' and ‘States. ' The Stateſ' What is that? Well, now open your ears, for now I will utter my judgment on the destruction and death of peoples. The State: I call it the coldest of all cold monsters, and coldly it lies: and this lie oozeth out of its mouth eternally, 'I the State am the People.’” “Furthermore, what I call the State is where the slow sui- cide of all is called Life.’” “The mob are about to play the tyrant. We must invent a stronger tyrant than they.” "Compassion is a miserable weakness. It spoils and befud- dies popular judgment and ruins men for action.” “And he who would be a creator in good and evil. Verily, he must be a destroyer and break conventional values in pieces.” “The stillest words bring the storm. Thoughts that come on dove's feet govern the world.” “Ye shall seek out your own enemy: ye shall wage your own war.” “But he hath discovered himself who saith. This is my good and evil.” Thereby hath he stricken dumb the mole and the dwarf who shout ‘Good for all. Bad for all.’” “Far too long a slave and a tyrant have been hidden in woman. Therefore, woman is not yet capable of friendship. She knoweth love only. . . . Women are still and always cats and birds—or in the best case, cows. Yet woman is not yet capable of friendship; but say, ye men, which of you is capable of friendship?” “Unto these “men” of today, I do not seek to be a light, nor to be called a light by them. Them will I blind! O lightning of my wisdom, gouge these eyes out.” “But these things are not said for long ears.” “The civilized ones. Every hour they become smaller, poorer, weaker. Poor pot vegetables: poor soil.” “Today is of the mob; who knoweth any longer what is great, what is small?” “Have a deep distrust, ye super men, ye courageous souls, ye with generous hearts, and keep your reasons secret for today is of the mob. Today the rabble reigns.” “Liberal Institutions' immediately cease to be liberal as soon as they are achieved. Afterwards, there is no more dan- gerous or more thorough going enemies of freedom than Liberal Institutions. . .”.” “But I turned my back upon the rulers when I saw what is now called ruling to be chaffering and bartering with the rabble for power.” “Christianity needs sickness, just as paganism needed a sur- plus of healthfulness." “You say 'a good cause will hallow even a war," but I say unto you a good war halloweth every cause.'" with dialectics, the mob comes on top." “warfare prepares a man for freedom - ** When men are unable to strike back-to revenge themselves—they call their inability ‘goodness.’’’- “For this is the danger of today; everything that we loved when we were young has betrayed us. Our last love—our love for TRUTH-let us take care that she too does not betray us.”- “The greatest modern event, that God is dead-that the Christian God has become unworthy of belief, has begun to cast its shadow over Europe.”- “Modern civilization aims at making all GOOD things—honors, treasures, beautiful women, accessable even to cowards.”- “As long as the priest passes for the highest type of man, every other really valuable type of man is depreciated. . . . But the time comes, I promise it, when the priest will be regarded as the lowest type —as the most mendacious—the most disreputable var. iety of human being.”- “It is a piece of profound self-deception on the part of philosophers and moralists to suppose that they can extricate themselves (or others) from Degeneration by waging war upon it—by combating it. They cannot thus extricate themselves. That which they choose as a means—as the Road to Salvation—is in itself only another expression of the degenerative malady. All they do is only to modify its mode af actualizing itself They do not abolish it.”— “THE PRIEST and THE DEVIL” pamphlet by Dostoyevsky.

Ye crumble away ye comfortable ones! Ye shall yet perish.” “Of man there is little here: therefore do their women masculine themselves.” “Virtue with them is what maketh modest and tame. Therewith have they made the wolf a dog, and man him- self man’s best domestic animal.” “More dangerous have I found it among men than among animals.” “The ‘little man especially the small poet—how pas- sionately doth he accuse life in words!” - “True virtue consists in thirst for danger and courage for the forbidden.” “The man seemed to me noble and worthy and mature, but when I saw his wife the earth seemed to me Bedlam. Yea, I would that the earth shook with convulsions when a saint and a goose pair with one another. This one went out as a hero for the truth, and ended up by bringing home a little gaily dressed lie. This he calls his marriage.” “Crowded is earth with the superfluous ones. Spoiled is life by the much too many.’ Would that they might be tempted away from the life by the life eternal.’” “An age of peril, such as the one we are now inaugurat- ing, in which personal valor and manliness are rising in value, may, perhaps, gradually harden human souls to such a degree, that they will again need tragic dramatists.” “A Malcontent! this originally meant one of the ancient heroes who spoke out against civilization honestly believing in to be of evil import because it would make the good things' of the earth (including beautiful women, high honor and gold) accessible even to cowards.” “It is not necessary that anything should be true: it is only necessary that we should believe something to be true.” “Life! Life! Life! and have done with good and evil.” “Get up off your marrow bones. Stand erect and shape the destiny of the world to your own will." “The continued existence of the Christly Ideal is most undesirable. I make war on this chloretic ideal. I would destroy it.” Written on the fly leaf of a New Testament.— “This, the holiest book of prayers, Sin and crime and fraud: At its opening stands and stares, The adultery of the God.” “Mistrust every one in whom the impulse to punish others is powerful.” “A man must do very much for himself before he can do anything at all for others.” “He who can, does: he who cannot, teaches.” “Verily, that young Hebrew (whom the preachers of decadence honor) died too early. And to many it has proved a calamity that he died too early; and yet he had only known tears and the hereditary Jewish-Melancholy, along with the hate of the good and just—thereupon, the longing for death came upon him. Had he but remained in the wil- derness, far away from the good and just, perhaps he would have learned to love this earth, and life and laughter also. Believe it my brethren? He died too early. He himself would have repudiated his doctrine had he attained to my age -- "Freedom is the will to be responsi. ble for one's own self.”- “The best way of leading mankind by the nose is with morality!” - "Voluptiousness is sin,” saith one cult. “Let us go apart and not pro- create,” “Giving birth is hard,” saith other Christians.” “Why should we give birth? One gives birth only to the unfortunate.” And they also are preachers of the Great Doom.” *Has not Israel, even by the round- about way of a "redeemer"—the ad- versary seemingly and destroyer of Israel-attained at last the goal of its sublime vindicativeness? Does it not belong to the secret black art of the truly grand politics of vengeance? —of a vengeance far seeing, under- ground, slowly gripping, and fore- reckoning; that Israel itself should deny and crucify, before all the world, the proper tool of its vengeance, as though it were something deadly in- nical-so that all the world, namely all the enemies of Israel, might quite unhesitatingly bite at the bait.” Gradually I have come to see day light in the general deficiency of our culture and education: nobody learns nobody strives after, nobody teaches- how to endure solitude. My diet masculine is having its ef. fect—my sayings of power and vigor. I feed men, not with flatulent vegeta. bles but with warrior food.”- - “Vigorous eras, noble civilizations see something contemptible in “sym- pathy,' in “brotherly love' and in the lack of self-assertion and self-reliance.” “And he who would be a creator of good and evil. Verily, he must be a destroyer and break conventional values in pieces.” “But these things are not said for long ears.” "He who can does, he who cannot teaches.”- “St. Paul; this appalling imposter.” "Christianity . . . all imaginable corruptions.” the greatest of “For small people, small virtues are necessary.” *Yea, I am Zarathustra the Ungodly, I rejoice and cry.” **Man is born for war and woman for the joy of the warrior.” “The time is coming when we shall have to pay the reckoning for being Christians for 2000 years.” “Women would like to believe that "Love' can do everything—it is the superstition peculiar to her.” “If man would no longer think him. self wicked, he would cease to be so.” “Against the deviation of the state ideal unto a money ideal, the only remedy is war—and once again war.” "Christianity wages a deadly assas- sinating war against the higher types of manhood.” ** St. Paul was a slave mind. . . . with a bad conscience and a thirst for priest- ly intolerance and authority.” Unto the pure all things are pure . . . but I tell you . . . unto the swine an things are swine.” “The noble type of man regards HIMSELF as the Determiner of Values. He does not require to be authorized, approved of. He passes judgement.” “The slave has an unfavorable eye for the virtues of the powerful.” “Life itself is essentially APPRO- PRIATION.” - “Let me confess: your wisest men did not appear unto me so very wise; so I found men's wickedness much less than the fame of it.” ‘‘ ‘We bite nobody’ saith the good citizens and go out of the way of him who seeketh to bite; and, in all things, we hold to the opinions we are given.” "One single non-dying man on earth would indeed suffice to incite every- thing still in existence, to a general mania of killing and hanging, in con- sequence of digust of him." **That Ideal Eunuch, the Idealist “For all religious grow out of dream or necessity, and come into existence through an error of the reason." **Are Christian morals worth any thing? or are they a profanation and an outrage, despite all the arts of holi- ness and seduction with which they are imposed on people?” “In our degenerate, or rather very plebeian age “education' and ‘culture must be essentially the art of deceiving with regard to origin, with regard to inherited plebeiºnism of body and soul.” “How can one praise and glorify a nation as a whole? Even among the Greeks it was the INDIVIDUAL that counted.” “St. Paul, that appalling imposter- pandered to the chandala morality in stincts in those paltry people, when he said: “Not many noble are called, but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise,’ ” “An age of peril (such as the one we are now inaugurating) in which valor and manliness are rising in value. may perhaps, gradually harden the soul of men to such a degree, that they will again be in need of tragic dramatists.” The formal approval and submission to Christ on the part of the Master Races, is essentially a result of their serious conviction, that Christianity is an excellent religion for the herd, that it teaches obedience, in short that Christians are more easily ruled over and exploited than non-Christians. With a hint of this nature, the Pope (even nowadays) recommends Christian Pro paganda to the ruling sovereigns of China and Japan. “People now rave everywhere, even under the guise of Science, about com ing conditions of society, in which the exploiting character' is to be absent. That sounds to my ears as if they promised to invent a mode of life which should refrain from all organic func- tions. Exploitation does not belong to a depraved or imperfect society: it be longs to the nature of the living being as a primary organic function.” - “Faith" simply means the refusal to know what is true." ºn should die ºrºd y, when it is no longer possible to live proudly.” “It is not your sin that cries to heaven: it is your moderation."- "Behold, I see many soldiers' Would that I saw many warriors.” “Soldiers, soldiers—what they wear is called uniform. May it not be "uni- Formity" that they conceal behind it?" “You ought to be as those whose eyes are ever on the lookout for an enemy–FOR YOUR OWN ENEMY." *The constraint to LIE-that is the sign by which I recognize the prede- termined theologian everywhere.” *That which makes ill is good. That which proceeds from abundance, superabundance, and from inherent power, is evil"—THAT is the view of the faithful.” "The pious person, the priest of both sexes, is false because he is ill. His instincts demand that truth should not assert its right anywhere. - "There ARE preachers of death: and lo, the nations are full of those to whom the abandonment of life should be preached.” "Behold the believers of all beliefs. whom do they hate most? He who smashes their tables of formal values. He, the destroyer; he, the law breaker. He it is, however, who is the creator." *These teachers of discipline. Like lice they creep wherever life is small and sick and scabbed and unclean. It is only my loathing that hindreth me from cracking them.”- “Even the distinction between soul and body is wholly due to the con- ception of the dream, so also the con- ception of the soul embodied in flesh. From these theories come the develop. ment of all superstitions.” *Just as in the days of moral decay. in classical antiquity, so now, the evil doctrine of the emancipation of wo men, arose from the slime of over ed- nation.” *Also, there are the spºrtually ºn- sumptive ones; they are hardly born before they begin to rot and long fºr doctrines of weariness and renuncia. tion.” - “The Jews made the attempt to pre- vail, after two of their castes—the warrior and the farming classes—had been removed from their midst-taken captive to Babylon. In this sense they (the Jews) are A CASTRATED PEO PLE. Their virile members were cut out. They have their rabbis, of course, and their chandala, but that is all. How easily a disturbance an pears among them—an insurrection of their chandala rabble. THIS WAS THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY. “Truth needs Power-Truth is in it. self no power at all, despite all that the flattering enlighterers will say. On the contrary, it has to draw power over to its side, or to side with power, else it will, again and again, go to ruin. This has been proved enough and more than enough. Give the trutu the same chance that error has, and error the same chance that truth has and let the structure stand or fall according to its merits.”- “When on Sunday morning we hear the old bell ringing, we ask ourselves. *Is it possible?' All this for a Jew crucified 2000 years ago, who said he was a God's son. The proof of such assertion is lacking. . . . A god who begets children by a mortal wºman. a sage who demands that no more work be done, that no more iustice be ad. ministered, but that the signs of the approaching end of the world be heeded. a divine judiciary system, that accept an innocent person as a vicarious sacri fice instead of the guilty; a person who bids his disiciples drink his blood. prayers for miracles; sins against a god expiated upon another god. . . . Is one to believe that such a thing can be believed?” “The weak, that is to the majority.” say, "The priest rules by the invention of Sin.” The Christian is nothing more than an Anarchical Jew.” Only evil instincts are to be found in the New Testament. It shows no sign of courage. Those people lack even the courage of these evil instincts. All is cowardice in it, all is closing ºne’s eyes and self-deception.” * * * The New Testament is the gospel of a completely ignoble species of man. Its pretensions to higher values, yea, to all high values, is, as a matter of fact, revolting—even now- adays. ‘‘ Pity is opposed to the tonic passions which enhance the energy of the feeling ºf life. Its action is depressing. A Huan loses power when he pities. On the whole pity thwarts the law of develop- ment, which is the law of selection. It preserves that which is ripe for death... “The CHRISTIANS and the “an ºists” are both decadents. They are both incapable of acting in any other way than disintegratingly, poisonously, witheringly, ... they are both actuated by an instinct of MORTAL HATRED of everything which stands erect, that is great, that is lasting, that is a guar. antee of the future '' . . . . . . ** Nihilist.” and “Christian,” the words rhyme in German. They do not only rhyme they are the same.” incidentally, the deaths of marytrº have been a great misfortune in the history of the world: they led people astray. . . . . . The conclusion which all idiots, and Womſºn and common people ºne to that there must be something in a cause for which someone has laii down his life, or which (as in the ease of primitive Christianity) provokes an epidemic of human sacrifices—this con. clusion put a tremendous cheek upon all investigation and of caution. Mar. tyrs have harmed the cause of truth. THEY ARE ITS FOES.” **Good and Evil which would be ever lasting; it doth not exist.” “Thou goest to women; do not forget thy whip.” "What men call morality results from compulsion: it is, indeed, in it self, one long compulsion.” The wisest animal under the sun. also the proudest one and most far. seeing, have set out to reconnoitre. My diet masculine is having its ef- fect-my sayings of power and vigor. I feed men, not with flatulent vegeta. bles but with warrior food.”— By multiplying misery, quite as much º by preserving all that is miserable, it is the principal agent in promoting decad- ence.’’ "One of the spectacles which the coming centuries holds in store for us, is the decision regarding the fate of the European Jews. There is not the slightest doubt that they have cast their die and traversed their Rubicon. The only thing which now remains for them is either to become Lords and Masters in Europe, or— lose Europe—even as ages ago, they lost Egypt—where they had to face an exactly similar dilemma.” “The Christian gospels cannot be read too cautiously. . Difficulties lurk be hind every word they contain........ The FIRST thing to be remembered (if we do not wish to lose scent here) is that WE ARE AMONG JEWS. The dissembling of holiness which here, literally amounts to genius, and which has never been even approximately achieved elsewhere, either by books or by men; this fraud in word and pose, which in these books elevated to an art, is not the accident of any individual gift, of any exceptiinal nature. These qualities are a matter of RACE. with Christianity, the art of telling Holy Lies, which constitutes the whole of Judaism, reaches its final mastership, thanks to many centuries, and most thoroughly serious training and practice. The ‘Christian,” this ultimo ratio of falsehood, is the Jew over again—he is even three times a Jew.” erected a sanctuary must be broken down.” “The history of Israel is invaluable as the typical denaturalization of an NATURAL values.” “Truth is that form of error which enables a particular species to prevail.” “Socialism—the rule of the multitude - e., the tyranny of the meanest and most brainless.” *Vigorous eras, noble civilizations see something contemptible in “sym. pathy,' in “brotherly love" and in the lack of self-assertion and self-reliance.” “The greatest events are not our loudest but our stillest hours. The stillest words bring the storm.” “In England every man who indulges in any trifling enancipation from theology must retrieve his honor in the most terrifying manner by becoming a moral fanatic.” - “I conjure you my brethren, remain true to the earth, and believe NOT those who speak unto you of super- ºrthly hopes.” * Passion for power is the earthquake which breaketh and upbreaketh all that is rotten and hollow: the rolling, rum- bling, demolisher of whited sepulchres.” “The fatal feature of Christianity lies in the necessary fact that its faith had to become as morbid and base and vulgar as the needs to which it had to minister were morbid, base, and vulgar ’’ “A healthy backwoodsman, farmer, ranchman, coarse, artful, hardnecked, enduring, that today is the noblest tribe-and his tribe should be upper- most." Keep your reasons secret. For to: day is of the mob. And, what man can (by reason alone) upset that which the mob learned to believe without reason? Reasons make the mob distraught. It distrusts them. It hateth reasons. It is a Beast. "In order that a sanctuary may be “What is good? All that enhances the feeling of power in a man. What is bad? All that proceeds from weak- ness. What is happiness? The FEEL. ING that power is INCREASING—that resistance has been overcome. Not con tentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war: not virtue but triumphaney.” “As long as the priest, the profes. sional DENIER, caluminator and pois. oner if life, is considered the HIGHEST kind of man, there can be no answer to the question, “what is Truth?’” Who ever has the blood of theologians in his veins, stands, from the start, in a false and dishonest position to ALL things.” “Christianity has waged a deadly war against the HIGHER type of man- It has sided with everything weak, low and botched. It has made an Ideal out of antagonism against til the self preservative instincts of strong life. In this way it has corrupted even the tº son of the strongest intellects." “It is indecent nowadays to be a Christian.” And it is here my loathing begins. I look about me; not a wºrd that was formerly known as “truth" has remained standing. We can no longer endure to hear a preacher even pro nounce the word “Truth.' Even he who makes hut the most modest claims upon truth MUST KNow at present that a theologian, a priest or a pope, not only errs but actually LIES with every word that he utters—and that he is no longer able to lie from “innocence. ** from “ignorance.” Even the priest knows quite as well as ever body else does that there is nº longer any “God” or any “Sinner” or any “saviour.” and that “Tree Will'' and “The moral order of the Universe' are all lies. . . . . All the concepts of the church have been revealed in their Erne colors—that is to say, as the most vicious frauds on earth, calculated to DEPRE(TATE nature and all natural values. The prºacher has bººen recog- nized as what hº is that is to say, the most dangerous kind of parasite, as the actual venomous poison spider of exist- ance.’’ “What is good? To be brave is good." “Those two great European --- cotics–Alcohol and Christianity.” *Is taking not more blissful than giving.” “What is tumbling already should be torn down.” “Conditions of ideal Justice can never be anything but exceptional.” “There is an old illusion called ‘good and evil.’” “What is the strongest remedy?– Victory.” “In a great city, what liveth there? –The well-fed, the famous wise men. and the draft beasts.” “Our overfilled public schools- our overloaded, stupified public school teachers are a scandal.” “The music of a marriage proces- sion always reminds me of the music of soldiers entering battle.” “All good things were at one time bad things. Every original sin has developed into an original virtue.” “Christians . . . .queerly they exert themselves, like an elephant exerteth itself to stand on its head.” The most essential and most vital and most momentous of all mans powers is his power of making war. *Thus would I have men and wom- en; the one fit for warfare, the other fit for giving birth.” “To be a journalist or politician is to be a thresher of straw thrice threshed." “The people who were worth some- thing, who became worth something, never acquired their worth under liberal institutions.'" ºrea pue Kitten ºut inq sutumous: ºf ºuts ‘old’ssoduſ are ooºod pue ºf -tenba jo steapt pue Knoid uensuuo, *Verily, men have made for them. selves all their “good” and “evil." It did not come down as a voice from heaven.” “It is a prejudice of the learned to pretend that our knowledge of what is laudable, or reprehensible, excels that of any previous age.” “Do not think thou mayest not exploit others. Say not this thing “I will do unto others as I would they should do unto me.” Why sur render thyself?” “Our weak unmanly, social con ceptions of good and evil, and their enormous ascendancy over body and mind, have at last weakened all bodies and brains, and crushed all self-reliant, independent unprejudiced people.” “When man feels the sense of power, he feels and calls himself “good,” and at the very same time. others—who perhaps have to endure the weight of his power—feel and call him “evil.’” “Belief removes no mountains, but it places mountains where no moun- tains are. A hurried walk through a mad house enlightens one sufficiently on these matters.” “The Jews moulded their wrathful holy Jehovah after their wrathful holy prophets. Compared with these, the revengeful priests among Europeans are, so to speak, only second-hand creatures.” “Whenever in declining civilizations arbitrary power and authority falls in to the hands of the masses, genuiness becomes superfluous, disadvantageous and even a drawback. Then, this cometh to pass, that only the stage. player type of leader can awaken great enthusiasms. Thus dawns the golden age of the stage-player, the poseur; for him and all that is re- lated to him.” “BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL” What the world calls “good" and "evil” is more or less of an illusion. It is an arbitrary blockhead way of looking at things. What one man thinks good another man thinks bad, and so on ad-infinitum. There is no absolute standard of right and wrong for all men and nations. As long as there are two men left alive on earth there will be difference of opinion. Upon moral principles, no universal, all round agreement is feasible. In morality as in nearly everything else, what is one man’s food is another man's poison. Physically and intel- lectually men are antagonistic. They are born to war with one another. Therefore, no man or body of men should be permitted to set up impera- tive moral rules and regulations to govern the lives and ways of all the rest—for that is blank terrorism. If you allow your neighbors to de- cide your moral conduct for you in advance, they will do so for their own convenience and profit (exactly as the Hebrews have done) and that will be bad for you. First of all you will lose your independence, then you will lose your right ºf expression, then you will lose your property, and finally you will lose your primeval intelligence and become vulgar, servile and base-minded. But you must read Nietzsche on this matter—decidedly the most illum- inating writer of our age. He is the fighting king of all the philosophers. That he writes originally in German, makes no difference to the truth or falsehood of his reasoning. His thought applies to all nations that are in the bonds of Jesus. Editors and bishops violently as- sail Nietzsche. They howl and rage against him. If he was not dead they would kill him with the venom of their wrath. They call him “Anti- christ” as if to be against their cir- cumcised idol is an awful crime, but if he were alive today the chances are that he would not repudiate the term. Nietsche like the emperor Julian, looked upon Jesus Christ as a false teacher—a clever Hebrew propagandist of slave-creating the ories. To him the whole moral and spiritual argument presented in the New Testament (and worked out into modern political and religious ritual), is and was a sinister movement towards the debasement of human nature, the overthrow of heroism, of personal "freedom, and of all but the mean and cowardly "virtues" of servants.

Tº *THE Twº LIGHT OF THE LOOLS- AND “THE ANT1 CHRIST" by Friedrich Nietzsche is the most extraordinary and most destructive assault upon the citadel of “Chris- tian Principles” that we have ever read. It analyzes and assails Christian tradition, Christian philosophy, Christian theology, and Christian morality as part and parcel of a clever religious swindle, worked of: upon our forefathers by cunning avaricious yellow skinned Asiatics. Nevertheless Nietzsche is not an “agnostic”—not a “materialist”-not a “rationalist” - not a "free- thinker", because he is more than any of these and includes them all. In logic, eloquence, profundity, historicity and clearness of statement he far out- classes Ingersoll, Paine, Voltaire and Renan. He is. a thousand miles beyond any of them. Compared with Nietzsche, they are back numbers and little better than methodists. Did not Ingersoll praise “Jesus the man" as a noble and beautiful character; and what is such blind and thoughtless adulation but another name for “worship"? The real fact is that the personality of Jesus was º utterly ignoble. There was nothing grand or glorious ºr in anything he said or did. Everything he taught º, and everything he wrought was faithless and delus- L. ive. He was a defamer of all things bold, manly, aggressive and natural. There was no truth in him. His brain was as base as his birth, and he hated all men with iron in their blood. After you read “THE ANTICHRIST" you will say to yourself that there were no iconoclasts till Nietz- sche came. The very ablest literary critics of our time are as a unit in admitting the stupendous significance of this great Polish thinker. We regret that his works should be so expensive, because they ought to be reprinted in pamphlet form (at a low price) and scattered broadcast over this religion-mad land with its 100,000 cross-crowned idol- houses, raying forth continuously their poisonous and degrading falsehoods and Chandala supersti- tions into the ears of the young. Should you be interested in the mighty, heroic and nasculine things of this world, it is imperative, it is absolutely imperative that you should get Nietz. sche's works and study them. Verily, he is great. In his own line he has no superior; and he is intellectual honesty itself. He faces every problem fearlessly unflinchingly, and turns aside at nothing, exactly as you should do and probably would do if you had the nerve. - “The Twilight of the idols" and “The Antichrist" both in one volume. Beautifully printed and bound in silk cloth. 260 pages. Postpaid $2.00. If you send for this book you will not be disappointed. It is great we say, it is great. Like Saint Paul, Pascal, Dean Swift, Jean Jacques, Rousseau and Nebuchadnezzar “NIETZSCHE WENT MAD” But before doing so he wrote a few books that have startled the entire world and shaken and riven every idol altar in Christendom. His works are translated into the leading languages, and are right now directly influencing and commanding the boldest minds in every realm of thought and action. Carlyle was great; Emerson, Spencer, Shakespeare, Darwin, Goethe, were great, each in his own way, but Nietzsche (the man who died a raving maniac, re- member) supplements and surpasses and tops them all. No other modern philosopher is having such a tremendous and purposeful effect upon the fateful current of National, So- cial and Religious Evolution. If you are a serious student of the Higher Things, or a man of power in any line, get Nietzsche and read him. You can't afford to miss him if you don't want your future career to be sidetracked, halted. or entirely ... by rivals and foes. Not only is Nietzsche a really great and noble writer because of his mighty thoughts, but also because of the majesty, beauty and charm of his style. Don't ruin your brain by soaking it in conven- tional newspaper drive! or the lewd sissy books of the shop counter and the colleges. Leave all that for women and hirelings. It is good enough for them. Be self-reliant and study writers from whom you can learn to be some- thing more than a cypher. I advise you to get Nietzsche, not only because I sell him, but because I very largely be- lieve in him. He is O. K. and his writings are the only possible intellectual antidote for the horrible literary de- generacy and oriental brain poison that degrades America. All the evil priests of religion and politics hate and revile Nietzsche. But if you are a man of sense you will hearken not unto them—you will not take your ideas from others- but think for yourself. “THE Twilight of THE Idols" by Nietsche, mailed, price $2.00.
