politics and common life, exalted the
prosperous and noble, who were es-
teemed above the masses. They priced
castles, aristocracy and the great
wealth of capitalists. High life was
described with approval. Men as
stunned that the nobility and the other
high classes were elevated above
others because Of some exceptional
virtue
But now this title to eminence is
challenged. The means of becoming
great, especially of becoming rich, are
deemed vices rather than virtues.
Those who get up in the world are
thought to do SO at the expense of the
low. These last are believed to be
deprived of their rights. Eminence
is looked into. It's cause, whether
just or unjust, is examined. The
wealthy and great are assumed to be
wrongly so, while the poor are not be-
lieved to have their share Of what
they produce. Wealth is mostly pred
atory The common people are COM
ing forward and demanding new
recognition IN society. Fiction, poll
tics and sociology consider the wants
of the many rather than Of the few;
and the question Of all progress is to
give workers their dues The many
are chiefly regarded by economists,
and our aim is to make more persons
comfortable and noble The elevation
OF the whole is sought in a democ-
racy. Where this does not exist it's
lack is thought to betoken some
wrong-doing.
There is now no such praise Of the
higher classes as once existed. The
virtues Of the poor are portrayed and
the vices Of the rich. The poor are
thought better than the "higher"
classes. The man who studies life
studies the condition of the many.
Among them, rather than among the
few, human nature shows itself.
To be good now one must benefit
the many. He may not be snobbish,
or known to favor the few Every
politician claims to be the friend of
the working man, and is lavish in his
praises of the poor. The object Of
all government is to give the many
a chance. The wealth centered in the
few is to be better distributed, and
the means of distribution are sought.
We can never again have a few no.
blemen living in castles with extensive
lands and many vassals. The So
ciety described by Walter Scott
which existed in the middle ages is
no longer possible. Life as lived by
the aristocracy is no better than the
simple life; the simple life is praised
and the life of the many is made the
subject of literature. The wealthy
live in plain houses, as rule, and no
longer feel it an honor to have a ret
inue Of servants. That only makes
them unpopular, whereas once it made
them "noble." The people do not
prize great wealth and eminence, but,
as stated, regard them as wrong and

it. The wealthy defend themselves
instead of compelling the poor to do
50. They represent that they are less
wealthy than they are, and that their
wealth benefits the poor This is the
age of the many. The working man
has entered politics and holds the
balance of power, his conditions being
vastly improved. He works little
more than he needs for recreation.
His wages are high, and the rich COM
plain that workmen have most of the
profit. Many are joint owners in the
concerns for which they labor.
The poor have entered more largely
into literature. The traits Of human
nature are recognized as common.
They may be found in all, so that the
poor take an honored place in fiction
and the drama. They have the no
bility, heroism and other honors; and
high" society. Nearly all novels de-
scribe common life rather than
high" life. The nobility of the
common people is more general than
it used to be. Few take an interest
IN the rich and other exceptional
classes. They are thought to repre-
sent the few, and mainly the vicious
element. The common people were
once supposed to be the criminals. The
wealthy and noble are now thought
to be-
All aristocracy is conceded to be
unjust. Favors granted a class are
regarded as immoral. They are not
allowed in this country, and they
promise soon to be abolished in Eu-
rope. They are already so in France,
and the people all over the continent
are beginning to inquire by what right
higher and privileged classes exist
The public hardly recognize the dis
tinctions Of family and position which
once existed in foreign countries
None but themselves concede their
honors and eminence. Everybody can
set up to be an aristocrat with abou.
there is no longer much portrayal of
equal claims. The world goes on with
out recognizing them. Aristocracy,
like football, is kicked and despised.
It is laughed at where it used to be
feared, and the aristocrat is begin
ming to be hated for his pretensions.
Birth and station are naturally equal,
and we would make the recognition
of this equality general.
The aim to get distinction and be
recognized as superior, is regarded as
unworthy Of men. To aim to out
class ones fellows is held a vice. 1t
is thought, if one is more wealthy
than another, to be contemplate to
remind him Of it, or to do anything
that implies reminder All must be
humble, especially the great. The rich
man feels liable to lose his wealth by
parading it. He knows that the many
regard it as evidence of injustice in
him. 1t is claimed that no man can
be millionaire honestly, and that
fortunes are evidences of vice. Peo-
pie now seek to become great by serv-

vanced the theory that Miss Elkins' be-

intended to distract attention from real
plans to meet her royal admirer some

CrueIties In Turkey,

A vivid picture Of the cruelties that
have recently been perpetrated upon
the Christians of Turkey. principally
Armenians, by their Moslem Cypress
ors was presented in Il description by
Rev. DR.. Thomas ID. Christie Of Hart
ford, Conn. president Of the st. Pauls
institute at Tarsus and father-in-law
Of the slain missionary, Rev. Daniel
Minor Rogers. He wrote to friends as
follows:
I'VE breakfast. dine and sup on hor-
rors. never could have believed men
capable of such crueltics. AS the train
on which I was riding moved through
the vineyards and gardens this side Of
Adana they reminded me of Shiloh, of
Corinth. Of Vicksburg. of Atlanta.
Here were bodies lying where they
had fallen. There was heap Of ten
or twenty piled up like cordwood-1
suppose in preparation for burial. In
Adana carloads were being dumped
into the river. In the long street lead
ing up from the station l counted In
the quarter of mile traversed over
thirty bodies that had not yet been
removed
There were two whole days Of bit
ter street fighting of massacre Of the
defenseless and of burnings. Our
great strong city Of Adana now IS a

GOOD SAND FOR ROADS.
Value Of Waste Product From Cali
fornia Oil Wells,

fornia Oil Wells.
Two hundred tons of rich black oil
sand from the Sunset wells at Visalia,
Cal, will be used ON some Of the roads
Of Tulare county, in California, this
summer. Superintendent Twaddle.
chairman Of the county governing
board, has been experimenting and
found 1t satisfactory. The sand comes
from the wells mixed with the oil.
When this flows into the stump hole
the sand sinks to the bottom and sep
arates itself, the Oil running off. Grad
ually the sand piles up around the
derricks and at the mouth Of the pipe
and fills Il large part Of the stump.
There are piles forty feet deep on the
Adeline, Maricopa road, Oil and Gate
City properties, which have accumu-
lated in the course Of four or five
years. The sand coming with this
heavy oil is different from that found
with the light oils. even that with the
Kern river product.
Those who have tried 1t say 1t Is SUI
pelior for roads to any common sand
that may be mixed with oil. 1t has
binding quality that is lacking in arti-
fetal products. Before its adoption in
Tulare county it was used quite lit
tie on highways in the immediate vi
cinity of the oil fields. it being given
to whoever would load and haul
it away. A wide use of this byprod-
uct by roadmakers will be a boom to
the heavy oil producers Of Sunset by
Kidding them of nuisance and trans
FORMING it into a source Of revenue.

was mayor and when he was Il men,
Der Of congress. Ever since young
Carter quit being mayor there has
been contention In his party over the
prospect Of his again becoming a candi-
date. When he returned recently from
a protracted visit in California talk
was revived that he had come back to
make another run for the mayoralty.
He was wearing black hat when he
returned. This was taken as an indi-
cation that he would not be a candi-
date again. Others, however, said that
the old brown fedora was in storage
and that it would be brought out in

Value Of Good Roads to Farms.

1t has been said that good roads
lead from good farms to good towns"
and it seems a direct way of stating
the fact. Wherever there are good
roads leading into town that town is
invariably an active and up to date
business community. Whenever good
roads run through a farming region
the farms are found we'll kept. the
houses bright and in good repair, and
the outbuildings show an air Of snug
comfort and prosperity.

The Average Person.

The average man he goes to bed
At ten O'Clock each night,
Gets up at six O'Clock a. m.
BY early candlelight.
Eats breakfast with his average wife
And goes to work each day
And hurries home again at night,
So the statistics say
Tha average man eats so much bread
And so much pie and cake,
And every little while he has
An average stomach ache.
He has an average pair of boots,
An average suit of clothes.
And when he has an average cold
He blows his average nose.
He has very average job
And kicks about his pay
And wonders at his slow advance
In quite the average way.
His average children go to school,
And | am much afraid
They only, though they work their best
Can get the average grade.
It's such a very average life,
No odds how hard we try.
The census tells us how we live
And how we're going to die.
No matter how we scheme and toll
Or how we strive and plan,
The very best that we can be
Is just the average man.
