An enemy's eye cast on me in hate
has fructifying power; self rushes

from within the penetralia of the
soul there issues the primitive

Hate is ethical. Hate destroys

Who Guffey Is

" AMES M'CLURG GUFFEY, who Is
beating the tom-toms in HI anti
y Bryan conflict, is a political war
rior. With Guffey fighting is a hobby,
a recreation from the placidity and
somnolence of a business ife-in which
he has gathered some $4,000, 900 or more
and at intervals he yearns for a foe
man capable of giving and receiving
lusty blows, even as another invader
of his ancestors domains once painted
for grips with one Rhoderick Dhu.
The fact that some sixty-nine years
have whitened the long locks and
bleached the brigandish mustache Of
Guffey has not cooled his fighting blood
or lessened his ardor for battle. He
has felt the sting of defeat. as he has
grasped the palm of victory, but to the
Pennsylvania it has been the Joy Of
the fight, not the result, that made 1t
worth while.
For twenty years he has been a
Democratic leader in the State which
his ancestors helped wrest from its
Indian holders. William Guffey. a
Lanarkshire Scotchman, accompanied
the Forbes expedition which captured
Fort Duquesne in 1883, and in his old
age DeCdfIle One VI Lie LTSL pck tiu-
lent white settlers on the Loyalhanna
Creek, in Westmoreland County, Penn
sylvania.
Marrying the sister of a Scotch COM
panion of the Indian wars, William
Guffey established the line Of the Penn
sylvania Guffeys, who are still the
largest holders of real estate In the
surrounding counties and whose mem
bers are listed In the leading families
of the State.
The family name, but not the for
tune, descended to James Guffey, who
went out and garnered the wealth he
felt requisite to the dignity of the Cuff
feys. Today he is the largest indi-
vidual oil producer In the United
States, owns mines in Idaho, Montana
and Colorado, and his business inter-
ests are scattered through a score of
States.
In business life Mr.. Guffey, who has
added the honorary title of colonel
to his other holdings, has been a
whirlwind of energy, industry. diplo-
macy, originality and persistency. His
combative traits have been reserved for
his pet avocation-politics.

BIAS love!
~ Conspuez love!

A BIAS love!
"a Conspuez love!
Also hike, decamp. take to
the tall grass, love!
All too long have you deceived us
with the notion that you are what
makes the world go round, tickle
goddess now proven false!
All too long have we worked over
time making songs and poetry In
your honor, and bowed to you as
the sovereign power regulating the
progress and happiness of the race!
Benjamin de Casseres, of New
York city, says so, and the Fuzzy
Fra, despite his well-known loyalty
to the winged boy with the bow and
arrows, declares there is something
in what Mr.. de Casseres says!
So Long live hate!"
Mr.. de Casseres didn't come to the
convention and say 1t right out to
the assembled Roycrofters, says
Leigh Mitchell Hodges, writing in
the Philadelphia North American,
of the gathering at East Aurora.
N. Y. Maybe De Casseres didn't
dare. Maybe that's the true inward
ness of his failure to arrive ION ac-
count Of a pressing engagement"
Anyhow, he sent along a prospectus
of his discovery, which we may call
the religion of hate!"
So the Philistines are happy, even
those among them who still regard
love as the real revolver of this
rotund habitation of ours. For an
annual convention without the
launching of at least one new re-
ligion would be like Maryland fried
chicken minus the cream gravy.
Danish the thought
And this religion of hate Is evo
l~utionary If ever a thing could be
so called. And all good Roycroft-
ers like a little revolution on the
side. Just a dash Of non-conform-
ing cayenne, If you please!
Before the Fuzzy Fra had read
half the prospectus he summoned
a council in the Tea House, which
is slightly in the rear of the Pha-
lansterie.

To this conference came Uncle
Billy Bushnell, for the ~conserva-
tives; Richard LIE Gallienne, for all
lovers, and Felix IN the interest
of hatred. Uncle Billy and Richard
were for ~suppressing the doctrine,
but Felix voted twice and this,
with the Fra's affirmative, settled
the matter.
The religion of hate should have
a hearing! LIE Galllenne pleaded in
verse for Cupid, but all in vain.
Uncle Billy wept a few, but ditto.
And now It's the religion of hate
that ties up the visitors in little
knots on the piazzas and under the
old apple tree and down at the
spring.
Opinions vary as to it's worth. All
Baba came out in a signed state
ment saying he would not adopt it
under no circumstances. The Fra
has already eaten off the sugar
coating. though he hesitates about
swallowing the whole pill.
But, like as not, you're beginning
to wonder just what this religion of
hate is! Hence to its patentee:
"Philosophic and poetical gentility
have prated for thousands of years
of the creative and Transforming
power of love- declares De Cas-
xuffh aNoi1anf tr4tfh bT x.ffch
to say something of the creative
and TRANSPORTING power Of hate; of
the eternity of hate, the morality OF
hate. the rejuvenating power of
hate; the cosmic, social and artistic
necessity for hate; the splendor and
sublimity of a sublime aversion"
From this 1t would appear that
corns. bunions and weak eyes r
about the only things hate is not
equal to. Not only Is hate good,
but love Is bad! Listen:
Universal owe would insure uni
versal catalepsy. All so-called prog
ress is the revolt of the Present
against the Past. Eternal insurrec-
ton, challenge, hatred and battle
are the conditions of the survival OF
anything.
Hate, dissatisfaction, discomfort.

must be forever kept burning. What
a man dislikes shall be his God;
what a man hates shall be his
