I wonder how they lived before
We hit these modern PAGES
And how they carried on their lives
With all the arts and graceA
From our outlook upon the world
How could they be contented
To dub around before the way
To live had been invented?
It must nave been a poky place
In days OF Cain and Abel
They couldn't elevate their feet
And put them on the table
They couldn't take q motorboat
And down the Day 60 stunning.

Because they had no cables.
II something strange was told to them
Quite likely they would doubt Il
II II occurred ten miles away
They'd never hear about Il.
But still they lived and loved and laughed
And answered calls to dinner.
They didn't worry over trains
And at their desks grow thinner.
But still when all the tale II told
Perhaps they were a happy.

impression on the reader. Don't
ever forget that.
1t is easy enough to describe a
gown, for instance, in a way that
will APPEAL to women-and
get their INTEREST, but so
many firms that have gowns to
sell just make the cold state
ment-

THAT is NOT ENOUGH. In
my travels around town / go
from store to store to learn, if
possible, THE RESULTS from

the several stores.

tisement written in a HUMAN
INTEREST WAY, is placed in

TALKING TO OUR CUSTO-

THE PERSONAL TOUCH
IS NECESSARY IN ADVER-

Make the reader of your adj
vertisement feel that, in re-
spending to it, he will receive
the same CORDIAL WELCOME
that he would if invited to the
home of a personal friend.
There is so much in that, and so
little care is taken apparently to
meet that human desire to be

There should be something
more than mere barter and trade

that there Is vicious principle run

sou called q corporation that Is IN
some instances a hundred umes-a
thousand times-a million times
stronger than the God-made man
Then we started this man-made giant
out among the Godmade men. When
God made man He placed limit to
his experience. so that II he was a
bad man he could not do harm long;
but when we made our man-made
man we raised the limit as TO age.

When God made man He breathed
into him a soul and warned him that
in the next world he would be held
accountable for the deeds done in tho
flesh, but when We made our man
made man we did not give him soul,
and IL he can avoid punishment In
this world he need not worry about
the hereafter.
My contention is that the govern
ment that created must retain con-
troll, and that the man-made man
must be admonished, Remember
now thy Creator in the days OF thy
youth" and throughout thy entire
life.
Let me call your attention again TO
this distinction We are not dealing
with the natural man; we are not
dealing with natural rights. We are
dealing with the man-made man and
artificial privileges.
What government gives the govern
mcnt can take away. What the gov
eminent creates 1t can control, and
| insist that both the state govern
ment and the federal government
must protect the God-made man from
the man-made man.
God made all men, and He did not
make some TO crawl on hands and
knees and others to ride upon their
backs Let us show what can be done
when we put into actual practice the
great principles OF human equality
and OF equal rights. Then this nation
will fulfill its holy mission and lead

progress OF the human race toward a

BEWAILS LACK OF MUSIC.
President Lowell Says Classics are
Being Forgotten by Educated
People.

BOSTON, Dec. ESQ note the lack
OF music among the "High.brOwed" is
a source OF sadness TO President
Lowell, OF Harvard, according to the
speech he made before the national
convention of the Music Teachers
associations
Either the educated people are
lacking In the finer emotions or they
are deficient in their method OF ex
pressing them" said he. IL Judge this
BY the gatherings of college alumni
which are marked by ragtime of the
poorest order When their voices
become tired OF ragtime. they
resort to organized cheering. the low.
