q matter Of living ideas and senti-

the people-not that they had any
magical way Of being always right,
but because he had seen no set of men
who We're so much wiser and better
than the majority that they should be
commissioned to rule.
"The people," the old senator would
say, '.can make fools Of themselves
sometimes, but they've got no monop-

know what's best for them, they're a
good deal more likely to than others

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.
Ing figure in the east, where men are
regimented and classified and conven-
tionalized until they cease to possess
or shrink from showing individuality.
Senator Jones spoke of the friends
whom death has removed, especially Of
his once colleague in the senate, George
Hearst, and Of John w. Mackay.
These two and Jones himself were
the three very rich Californians most
liked, because most characteristic Of
their day. All made their money in
the mines, and all were humanized in
stead of hardened by wealth.
The California pioneer was personi-
ned by Senator Hearst in perfection.
He began at the bottom, with empty
pockets, a pair Of willing hands, a
pluck that nothing could discourage
and resolution to succeed that COM
PEELED success. When millions came to
him he remained the same man his fel-
low miners in the gulches knew-clear
headed, shrewd, direct, good humored
and warm hearted. The management Of
vast and complex interests was as easy
to him as the handling Of the rocker
at Long Tom, but he did not seem to
recognize that this talent differentiated
him from his comrades of the mines.
"Why should money change man?"
he would say in conversational intima-
cy, except to make him bigger and
better by enabling him to be his best
self? If you're poor you have to do
what you can, and somebody else gives
you orders, but if you're rich you're
free to be what you like"
And this particular millionaire liked
to be democratic American.
That is what distinguished the sue
cessful Californians for the most part
their democracy. Assumption of su-
periority, pretension to being different
in kind from those around them, AFRO
gance, aloofness these traits were for
hidden by their knowledge of life and
sense Of humor.
Senator Hearst confessed that he was
made humble by his good fortune.

As b!s as these figures are. the fact OF

Think not that strength lies in the big round

Or that the brief and plain must needs be weak;
To whom this be true who once has heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men speak,
When want fear Is at the throat
So that each word gasped out is like shrek

Sung by some fay fend? There is strength
Which dies II stretched too far or spun too fine,
Which has more height than breadth, more depth
than length.
Let but this force of thought and speech be mine
And he that will may take the sleek. fat phrase,
Which CLOVIS and burns not, though 1t CLEAN and

Light but not he.lt-a fash without blaze
Nor Is 1t mere strength that the short word boast
1t serves OF more than fight or storm to tell
The roar OF that dash the rock bound coasts.
The crash of tall trees when the wild winds swell.
The of guns. the groans of men that die
On blood-staned fields. 1t has voice WELL
For them that far on on their sick beds lie
Fer them that weep, for them that mourn the
dead.
For them that laugh and dance and clasp the hand
To Joys quick step as well as grief's low tread.
