True Standards of Life.

1t takes so long to learn how to live;
so long to get even glimmering of
what life is for and what we ought to
do with ours. We are so prone to live
in the future, to fret ourselves about it.
We are so busy yearning for the Joys
we imagine other people have, and
worrying about the trouble we imagine
we are having, that we make Of the
present the one thing we are sure of
an endless regret.
And of all the follies, the limit is to
permit some one else to make our
standards for us. Haven't we intelli-
gence? Can't we think for ourselves
To want things we don't need, many
we don't really care for, just because
some one else has them, and wouldn I
understand If we didn't have them ! To
struggle and strain to make a show
when all the neighbors know it is only
a show, and would respect us a heap
more if we had the courage to be our
selves Deaths standards ought TO be
life's standards. Death does not ask
how big house we hail from, nor how
many university degrees we have won.
nor what is our bank account. Not
what we have, nor what we know, but

The Stalwart republican conference
which was held in Milwaukee last week
gave ample evidence of the fact that
unless the Progressives are united on
primary election day, they will lose all
they fought for and gained in the last
decade
The eyes Of the nation are upon Wis
consin the pioneer Of progressiveism.
Men who for years have fought the
peoples fight must be supported. 1t is
not so much a question of electing
these men, but the principles for which
they stand must prevail If Wisconsin
rejects men like LaFoIlette and Nc
Govern. the news will flash across the
country that this state was not sincere
when it threw off the yoke of corporate
control. Can the men who work for
wages or the moderately well-to-do cit
liens afford to take a chance with men
who boldly assert that the present tar
iH is not high enough and whose sym
pathies are against the people
Linconites must be united.

Washington Times: There is one
millionaire in the United States senate
who does not make outward display of
wealth. That man is Senator Isaac
Stephenson of Wisconsin. 1t is not
uncommon to see members of the mil

morning in perfectly and deliberately
equipped automobiles, with liveried
drivers and footmen, with freshly
picked flowers from private green

In London he enjoyed a real pea
soup" Jog TO get a good view of 1t
he took 4 ride on TOP Of a bus,
which passed slowly along the
streets, as though feeling its way.
The wintry chill pinched his nose
and ears, the fog dripped Niobe-like
around him; everything was moist
and sticky; sound was deadened;
cabs and foot passengers doomed up
for a moment, like phantoms, and
disappeared as suddenly.
If / was a seholard," said the
d." I'D always talk Latin on this
sort of a day.
The senator asked why.
You know, these folks all look
like ghosts and ghostesses to me
and Latin's the proper language to
talk to spirits In, It's well-known
they won't answer If they're spoke
to in English"
Besides the senator was a Parsee,
wearing a red fez. The driver cast
sundry curious Chances at him, dur
Ing the frequent pauses necessitated
by the fog. When the man got off,
he said:
You're an American, / know, sir,

fOH AUGUST.
The National Magazine for Au-
gust will be found crowded with In
%teresting and timely reading.
In Affairs at Washington" Joe
Mitchell Chapple reflects the general
WEAKNESS and feeling of relief with
which members of both houses
closed up the last gaps In impera-
lively needed legislation, and
turned from the struggle of contend
ing interests for recognition, to the
homeward journey or the summer
outing. Cloak-room anecdotes, SEN
atorial persifage and references to
the principal events of an increas-
ingly strenuous national progress
present many tidbits to the appreci-
alive reader.
"The Nobility of Common Trades"
devotes a considerable space this
month to an historical, biographical
and somewhat humorous article on
BARRIERS and Hairdressers," by
Charles Winslow Hall, whose long
study and practical observation Of
the principal callings OF American
and English people have given an in
dustrial and literary value to sub
jects too largely neglected.
"Roosevelt's Return from the
Jungle" a selection from John Cal
Ian O'Laughlin's recent book on the
subject gives interesting tableau
from the stirring incidents of the
great ex-president's issuance from
Darkest Africa" and the several
greetings which welcomed him back
into the heart of the world of the
twentieth century.
Herbert Kaufman's v~itriolic apos-
trophe, "To the Pessimist," leaves
nothing unsaid to be desired by the
adversary Of chronic "much-rakers,"
knockers, ultro-conservatives, and
like men OF Belial, unless indeed
n feels that a little spice of pro-
family might have added a soupcon
of picturesque intensity to the gem
eral diatribe.

PITH OF THE MAGAZINES
20 THE PESSIMIsT

You are the most utterly useless
OF all humans. The spacS which you
occupy upon the surface of the earth
is a wasted spot. Without the abil-
ity to create, you aim to kill the
Spirit OF creation; without the skill
TO produce, you seek to check the
advance of progress.
fo9are a poison oak in the forest
"A creeper without the strength to
climb on your own stem. You not
only are fruitless, but one degree
worse than sterile-you absorb vi
tally to no purpose and hurt every
thing with which you come in con-
tact.
Despite the evidence of all the
ages, you still refuse to recognize
that nothing can be achieved with
out trial-that nothing can be &C
complished unless 1t Is attempted
with courage and enthusiasm-and
still you make of yourself a check
rein wherever there is call for a spur
your persist In kicking with dis
couragement every striver who
needs the helping hand of conf
dence.
Four hundred years ago you would
have stood In the ranks of the boot
Ing mobs that stoned and reviled the
chain7laden Columbus. AS a Puritan
bigot, yours would have been the
hand that fired the fagots at Salem.
Were all men cast In your narrow
measure, there would be no trans
continental rails; no e~ighteen-hour
trains from Chicago to New York;
no tunnels beneath the Hudson-the
barber would continue to WELD the
surgeons knife upon patients tor
tured for the lack of anesthetic
mercy.
You're just an ignoramus-you
won't learn the lndisputable truths.
Education is wasted upon you-you
don't use 1t when you possess 1T.
Opportunity is squandered every
time you are given q chance.
You bestow nothing upon humani-
ty except harm, you are a greater
enemy to society than the thief-for
you would steal the very seed of In
spiration from which betterment
takes root.
To be pessimistic In this hour of
illustrious deeds-to proselyte de-
spairein a century which has disprov-
en- the impossibility of impossible
ties, Is to insult society and wear
the liyid brand of confessed incom-
petence.-Herbert Kaufman In the
