EVENTS MOVE SWIFTLY.

We are in for it. Happily or
unfortunately, designedly or
unadvisedly, we are embark
ing on new policies that can
not be calculated. We could
hardly draw back now if we
tried, and the majority are not
trying. Superbly unconscious,
as a nation, of our shortcorn-
ings at home, we are setting
forth grandly to manage 40
much of the rest of the world
as falls under our chance ad-
ministration. 5gs
When war comes events
move swiftly, and the tradi-
tions that have been accumulat-:
ing more than century are
swept aside in a few weeks
without anybody's realizing
that changes have taken place
vastly more important than the.
war itself.
It is risky, but in the rejuve-
nescence of this war spirit,
risks are lightly encountered.
We feel as blithe to meet all
perils as when the republic
itself was doubtful expert
ment. Maybe we shall turn
out as we'll in the new venture.
It is of our blood and history
to meet unprecedented ernerg-
encies skilfully, to develop
powers proportioned to respon
sibilities. 513 /
IF this is destiny, we have
not heretofore proved unequal
to the demands of fate. Power
we have unmeasured. Per
haps through our sublime
folly we shall also achieve new
greatness.

all about in the papers. Forty or fifty
bodies were taken out, but nobody
knows whether they got all Of them or
not. l have not yet seen a snow slide
to amount to anything, but have
seen lots of ice falls. Along the left
hand side of the valley, between here
and Sleeps camp, and away upon the
hillside, are number of big glaciers.
They look like great fields of ice-col-
ored between blue and a greenland
unlike the glaciers we saw below the
canon, they lie right up on the rocks on
the highest points, instead Of filling the
gulches. As the weather grows warmer
big chunks break off and roll or slide
down into the valley, making q noise
that you can hear sometimes for several
miles. In their customary path they
clean out all the brush and timber and
sometimes carry big rocks with them
down into the valley. gs.t@sssI
I've been homesick, hungry, tired
and sleepy all at the same time. and on
several occasions when tugging a load
up some of these hills below the Porcu-
pine late at night I've laid down on my
back across the load and looked up at
the stars and thought i how nice it
would be to be dead. Three or four
more days at the most will see our
stuff all on the pass and a week
more by the custom houses and then
things will improve or I will hunt up z
new partner and perhaps rest for
couple of weeks. The trip down the
river can rest q month yet.

EDWARD BELLAMY.
Dea tn Claimed Ons of the Great.
est Thinkers but His
Work Still Lives.
Henry e. Allen Delivers an Elo-
quont Memorial to Ed
ward BeIlamy.

Time flies. Man passes away
This is the unchanging law o1
nature.
We stand by the graves to.

day lived and loved.
Shrouds and bridal wells al.
most meet. The flesh that
thrilled beneath our kisses
turns to clay, and the grass
and flowers companion the
dead. ..... ,- II
1 Jest as we may, life at best is
short, serious and nearly al
ways disappointing. Edward
Bellamy turned upon his
death-pillow with the regret
that he could not finish the
work he had in hand. He had
visions of a future earth life in
which his fellowman might be
far more contented, happy and
kindly disposed; and he felt it
his duty to help elevate the
world to that exalted plane.
Edward Bellamy died in the
harness Of earnest, consecrated
service for others. He died
feeling that every soultouched
upon his karma. He died as
sured that he had done what
he could toward uniting the
race into a continuing brother
hood. e.. .
Somehow it seems to me
that manhood is today facing
a sunrise brighter, better and
more splendid than it ever
faced before, and largely be-
cause Bellamy's Equality
stands upon the shelves of the
world 8 libraries. To me this
book is an irrefutable argu-
ment for a more comfortable
world; for a fuller and kindlier
life, more just and. humane
conditions. It is an evapgel
to a race already heart-sick and
discouraged with worry, strife
and competition. Bellamy's
Equality" flashes forth a ray
Of hope to the oppressed and
down-trodden of every land.
It seems to me the debt Of
i gratitude the living owe the
dead has been increased many
4 fold in the death of Edward
Bellamy. .....-~z
"Looking Backward" has
made it's millions of readers
feel that after all life is some
thing better than a crust and a
curse; it has made these read
ers also feel that industrial

and relentless as any other. 1t

the Utopia of justice and

thods and machinery have sc
completely changed industrial
conditions that the racial need
OF Bellamy and a George be-
came imperative. Our age has
already swept us beyond the
point where the individual can
stand alone and unaided. Bel
lamy has offered for this crisis
IN our time a remedy-simple
and practical-nothing more,
nothing less than cooperation
instead of competition; love in
place of hate. He simply
pleads that the Christ in man
shall dominate in the social
and business world. He asks
for justice, not charity.
Can you and l honestly say
that this is wrong and unjust?
No, no, we better say his ideals
were higher than ours. Shall
we condemn him because his
ideals were high?
But some may say he was a
mere dreamer. Lowell says,
"The dreams that nations
dream come true" It is in
dividuals who give the dreams
to nations. Let us not forget
that all that is best in civiliza-
ton was once a dream. "The
ideal must always precede the
real We have come to pity
the human being who has no
ideals. High ideals are heav-
ems first requirement. Some
one has said it is a long jour-
ney from sand to telescope,
from ore to dynamo. But
every step of the way was a
dream. Have we stopped to
think how stupid the world
would be without dreamers?
Grant Allen, the we'll known
English author, makes the
statement that there is scarce
ly a writer of national reputa-
tion today in any language
who does not hold to many of
the views that have been ex-
pressed by Edward Bellamy.
Could compliment be higher?
Bellamy's books plead for
those who have lost the cour-
age and power to plead for
themselves; they plead for
those who have been, as it
were, hurled aside and tramp
led down in the mad race for
profits and dividends. They
plead for more kindness, SYM
pathy and fraternal regard, one
toward another. If the plead
ings of this dead dreamer have
not fallen on listening ears,
why is it that the movement
today for better industrial con
ditions is world wide? Would
it have come about without
Edward Bellamy and Henry
George? Is it not as reason
able to believe that electrical
science would have advanced
as rapidly without an Edison
or a Gray?
Fortunately for the world
true reforms once started do
not stop at the grave. Death
stills pulse and pen, but in
auence laughs at his feeble
power. Influence speeds above
the open grave with irnperish-
able wings, and centuries mark
it's foot prints.

Edward Bellamy with an ad-
