CONFLICTING THOUGHTS

Some che has very tIuthfully
said, If one generation could only
begin where the preceding generation
stopped it would only require about
three generations to reach the mil
lenniurn.
On the face of it, II looks as
though there is great deal Of wis
dom in this, and from the worldly
standpoint there IS.
It all depends on what we mean
by the millennium, and we doubt
very seriously if it means, or can
mean, the same to any two.
The millennium to one is riches,
the millennium to another is days
IN the woods, freedom from care, a
true friend for a companion, or just
the friendship of the trees and the
streams and the storms; to another
it means the absence of pain, and
suffering, and sorrow, the absence
of hunger, and envy, and fear; the
presence of kindness, goodwill
and plenty, to another it means
happiness underlined, or Heaven
here below.
To the writer it appears that the
farther we get away from the nor
NAL condition-the condition of the
healthy child-the farther we get
from rational millennium and to
him, it seems that the nearer we
keep to normal, healthy childhood,
the nearer we are to the millennium.
If, in the accumulation of dry
facts, practical knowledge, in money
making, advancement in science,
the one generation could begin
where the other generation leaves
off, then it would not be long until
a generation would be very wise in
such knowledge; but would that be
a millennium?
The struggle with all great minds
is back in simplicity, not only that,
but no mind can be great until it
has returned to the simple things.
Every mind is great just to the ex-
tent that it gets away from those
things which one generation gets
from another generation, and gets
back into loyalty to itself; back to
nature, back to recognition of the
things within itself that are true,
What a clear conception Richard
Wagner had of all this when he
said:
Man will never be that which
he can and should be until, by
conscious following Of that inner
natural necessity which is the only
true necessity, he makes his life q
mirror of nature, and frees himself
from his thraldom to outer artificial
counterfeits. Then will he first
become living man, who now is a
mere wheel in the mechanism of
this or that Religion, Nationality
or State"

When he finished his freshman year he
thought that he would begin as far down
on the commercial ladder as first vice
president, for he knew that by hard
work and application he could fight his
way to the top most rung.
When his sophomore year was over he
believed that it would be really the best
for him to 60 in as Western feld-man-
ager. A taste of the West would do him
good, anyhow.
When he had completed the junior
year he decided that he would be content
to accept the position of chief clerk, as
a future president should know all
the details of his business.
When his degree was given him he
went and applied for a job, just as

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

It is about time, that the Social
Democrats in Milwaukee were
charged with responsibility for the
disastrous fires, and loss of life
which has of late occurred in that
city. They have been accused of
about every other shortcoming i'm
aginable. It does make a wonder
full difference which party is in
power as far as government is
involved.
The Dorner bill to permit cities
to receive compensation for special
privileges granted, was defeated in
the assembly Of Wisconsin which
proves that our insurgent friends
are insincere, hypocritical and talk
one thing and do the very opposite
when the test comes. There is no
good reason why corporations
should not pay for special privi-
leges the same as individuals, es-
pecially, as the insurgents have
harped about making them do so
should they have the opportunity.
While the democrats have con-
tended for years for tariff for
revenue only, it begins to look as
if the representatives of that party

hand this afternoon. and the New York
Giants scored the first blood in the
worlds series
They won by narrow margin Of .

live forever in the memory Of the
enormous throns which saw IT.
II was no easy victory. Great as was
Mathewson. no less great was Albert
Bender, the Chippewa Indian who op.
posed him. IT was struggle between
two OF the most remarkable pitchers
of their time. and the fight was all the
more extraordinary in that these same
two men were tho stars of their rcspec-
tive clans back in 1906 when the
Giants and the Athletics FIRST met for
worlds title.
For days ami days the peerless MIA

this event, and the result was seen to-
day in his wonderful work NJ the Polo
Grounds.
Just last spring they werc discussing
the question OF whether or not tho biz

The Athletics got Il flying start in
the second inning. and the Giant fol-
lowing looked very glum but the mas
ter hand of McGraw soon showed and
the speed. that he had been developing
all year finally brought home the vie
tory.
Clean hitting gave the Athletics
their single run in the second. Then
the score was tied in the fourth. when

smashed the left field wall with n two

him with another two Dagger the In

was over so far as the Athletics

After that blow they seemed TO fade
