man OF civilization lentis % iose,
whether he be clerk. factory hand,
merchant or even a certain type of
farmer.
Now, I will not assert that in mod
ern civilized society these tendencies
have been wholly overcome, but there
has been a much more successful eff
fort to overcome them than was the
case in the early civilizations.
Wealthy men still exercise a large
and sometimes an improper influence
in politics. but it is apt to be an in
direct influence, and in the advanced
states the mere suspicion that the
wealth Of public men is obtained or
added to as an incident of their public
careers viii bar them from public life.
Speaking generally, wealth may very
greatly influence modern political life,
but 1t is not acquired in political life.
The colonial administrators, German
or American, French or English, Of
this generation lead careers which, rs
compared with the careers of other
men of like ability, show too little
rather than too much regard for money
making, and literally a world scandal
would be caused by conduct which a
Roman proconsul would have regard
ed as moderate and which would not
have been especially uncommon even
in the administration of England a
century and half ago.
Great Men Come From the Poor.
On the whole, the great statesmen
of the last few generations have been
either men Of moderate means or, if
men of wealth, men whose wealth was
diminished rather than increased by
their public services.
What is the lesson to US today? Are
we to go the way of the older ciYiliza-
lions? The immense increase in the
area of civilized activity today, so that
it is nearly coterminous with the
worlds surface; the immense increase
In the multitudinous variety of its ac-
tivities; the immense increase in the
velocity of the world moVement-are
all these to mean merely that the
crash viii be all the more complete
and terrible when it comes?
Personally 1 do not believe that our
civilization will fall l think that on
the whole we have grown better and
not worse. l think that on the whole
the future holds more for US than even
the great past has held. But as
suredly the dreams of golden glory in
the future will not come true unless.
high of heart and strong of hand, by
our own mighty deeds we make them
come true.
We cannot afford to develop any one
set Of qualities, any one set of activi-
ties, at the cost of seeing others equal
" necessary atrophied. Neither the
military efficiency of the Mongol, the
extraordinary business ability of the
Phoenician nor the subtle and polished
intellect of the Greek awaited to avert
destruction.

What We Need.


We, the men Of today and Of the fu-
ture, need many qualities if we are to
do our work well. We need, first Of
all and most important of all, the
qualities which stand at the base Of
individual, of family life the funda-
mental and essential qualities-the
homely, everyday, all important yir-
tues
If the average man will not work, if
he has not in him the will and power
to be a good husband and father, if
the average woman is not n good
housewife, a good mother of many
healthy children, then the state will
topple, will go down, no matter what
may be its brilliance of artistic de
Velopment or material achievement.
Unjust war is to be abhorred but
woe to the nation that does not make
ready to hold its own in time of need
against all who would harm it. and
woe thrice over to the nation in which
the average man loses the fighting
edge, loses the power to serve as a
soldier if the day of need should arise.
ne dream OF OiNiiIZSEfOHs
1t is no impossible dream to build
up a civilization in which morality,
ethical development and a true feeling
| Of brotherhood shall all alike be di-
vorced from false sentimentaIity and
from the rancorous and evil passions
which, curiously enough, so often ac-
company professions Of sentimental at
! tachment to the rights Of man, in
which a high material development IN
| the things Of the body shall be achieved
| without subordination of the things
of the soul, in which there shall be a
genuine desire for peace and justice
without loss of those virile qualities
! without which no love of peace or
| justice shall avail any race, in which
the fullest development of scientific
research, the great distinguishing fea-
ture of our present civilization, shall
yet not imply a belief that intellect
| can ever take the place of character,
for from the standpoint of the nation
as of the individual it is character that
is the one vital possession.
Finally, this world movement OF
civilization, this movement which is
now felt throbbing in every corner Of
the globe, should bind the nations of
the world together while yet leaving
unimpaired that love of country in the
individual citizen which in the present
stage of the worlds progress is essen
tial to the worlds well being. You,
my hearers, and who speak to you
belong to different nations.
Under modern conditions the books
we read, the news sent by telegraph
to our newspapers, the strangers we
meet, half of the things we hear and
do each day, all tend to bring US into
touch with other peoples
Each people can do justice Is BELT
only if it does justice to others. but
each people can do It's part in the
world movement for all only if ii
first does its duty within its own
household The good citizen must be
good citizen of his own country first
before he can with advantage be a
citizen of the world at large. / wish

armchair with arms that fit close
around the waist and has nice
back cushion with a picture of a
man handing flowers over a wall
to a girl.
The editor-in-chief did not sus.
pect the chair at first. He thought
that his troubles were due to the
fact that the assistant editor al

We led our chase across the valley

The Shooting Of Saxton.

Walker, Feb. 4-(Special to
Pioneer )-Crazed, and on the
verge of delirium tremens, as the
result of three weeks debauch
during which he drank large guam
titles # liquor, Walter Mcdonald,
saloonkeeper residing here, late
yesterday afternoon made des-
perate and cold looded attack
on Howard Saxton, bartender at
the Chase hotel, firing five shots
at Saxton, three OF which entered
Saxton's body, making gaping
wounds from the effects of which
1t is believed the wounded man
cannot possibly recover.
After shooting Saxton, Mcdonald
coolly walked out of the hotel and
went to his home, be barricaded the
doors, and be has remained con-
cealed, defyiug the officials to
arrest him, and threatening to
bore" anyone who dares approach
the house.
The shooting of Saxton was an
exceedingly brutal and uncalled-for
act, Mcdonald being practically
unprovoked; and the deed has
aroused the citizens of Walker to a
pitch of excitement that will prob
ably result in the killing of McDon.
AID, should he attempt to leave his
residence.
