1t is almost eleven years since the
Maine was destroyed in Havana har-
Dor, taking with it the lives and bo-
dies of hundreds of American sailors
yet today the Maine lies a tangled
mass of iron and steel at the en
trance OF the harbor and presents a
deadly menace to navigation. The
sunken hulk still contains the bod
les of sixty-three men, apparently for
gotten and surely neglected by the
country they died for. This situation
has called forth a reproach from Gov
ernor Morgan of Cuba, who urges the
government of the United States to
remove the wreck and properly inter
the remains of the men who died in
the service of their country. The neg
lect of the American government in
this matter is a standing reproach to
the people of this country, and has
caused comment among all nations.
It leads to the belief, which Is foster
ed by the Spanish government, that
the American government Is afraid to
remove the wreck for fear of what it
may disclose. Whatever the aus
present situation is disgraceful.

Optimism is the opinion or doctrine that
everything IN nature. being the work OF
God, IS ordered for the best. OF that the
ordering OF things IN the universe Is such
as produce the highest good. and to my
mind the ideal optimist IS he who by Ye-
fiecting on this principle combines IN
himself all virtues and attributes. has so
schooled himself that he has learned 10
look on the bright side OF life and has the
disposition TO take the most hopeful view

The world as the pessimist sees It is
wholly evil. but the ideal Optimist finds
good in apparent evil, and is confident
that good is destined 70 triumph ever
more fully over evil in the course Of the
worlds history. He sees the finger Of the
Creator in all things and acts accordingly.
His charity knows no bounds. his faith
and aope have been a stimulus % those
around him TO higher things. and his
philosophical reasoning and just views
have secured TO him that which in this
life and in the great hereafter is the ulti-
mate, namely, happiness.
