Jacob Gerhard Ewert (a.k.a. J. G. Evert, 1874-1923) was a Mennonite socialist and pacifist from Hillsboro, Kansas. From 1909 he was editor of the German-language newspaper, Vorwärts. Ewert wrote books and pamphlets on socialism, on temperance, and on warfare. Historian Duane Sotltzfus described Ewert as a "tireless advocate for conscientious objectors, writing articles and counseling many draftees" when writing for Vorwärts. The Newton, Kansas, newspaper Der Herold—edited by H.P. Krehbiel—challenged his published support of socialist agendas.
