The Eternal Question.


They are never pleasant to talk
nbout-thcse narrow escapes. It is
best to forget about them as soon
after they have occurred as possible,
for they get on the nerves, and things
that get on the nerves are not good IN
aviation 1t has always struck me as
odd that almost the first question the
average man viii ask after he has met
me is:
"what was the narrowest escape
from death you have ever hadY
This is simply another manifesto
ton OF that morbid desire for thrills
Mt another mans expense by demand
ing feats the aeroplane was never In
tended to perform. The aeroplane has
its limitations. and they are, so far.
very narrow ones It will do certain
simple things very we'll and If not
pushed too hard is not great deal
more dangerous than manufacturing
dynamite or being picked out by the
Black Hand.
The late Ralph tombstone recognized
this clearly. and he once said, ut will

man who is trying to advance the
new science. but these are the things
that it is best for us not to think
about.
remember when the first news Of
Johnstone's death reached me. I was
dining with White in Phil

noon flying in the teeth of hully
wind that would have kept any other

cannot stop us. We must do our work
lust the same. But such accidents
bring home to us the awful danger
that we are constantly running, and
we have to Keep constantly pushing
such thoughts out Of our minds"
Yet, as L say, the average man, after
he has tnllzed to an aviator five min
utes, will ask:

from death you have ever had?'

THE FRED MILLER
BREWING COMPANY
A MeritOrious Company Whose Pro-
duct Is Constantly Growing
@#E@ In Favor.

This company is engaged In the
manufacture of beer and whether
or not there is any truth in the say
ing that beer Is the poor mans bev-
erage the average workingman feels
an interest in all concerns engaged
In manufacture as we'll as in every
other enterprise which aids in devel-
oping and building up our city.
The product of the Fred Miller
Brewing Co., is very popular in the
city and is constantly growing in favor,
a fact which goes a long ways towards
proving that the quality of the beer
is Of a very high order.
The beer is manufactured under
the most sanitary and pains-taking
conditions, and everything possible is
done to give the public beverage of
the most excellent character.
The local representative of the
company is Mr.. Herman J. Fetzner.
He is progressive business man,
taken an active interest in the well
fare Of Duluth and is we'll and fav-
orably known throughout the city.
His attitude towards organized la
Dor has always been fair and friendly
and has manifested much interest in
cultivating closer and more kindly
affiliation between the wage earners
and their employers.

continue to cry for protection.
There Is at least one organ Of stand.
pat protectionism that is willing tc
admit that protection robs the con.
sumer. That organ is the Ohio State
Journal Of Columbus. In a recent is
sue it says:
Heretofore the accepted theory has
been that rates of duty so high a.
practically to prohibit imports no,
only serve to ut off all revenue bu
expose the consuming public to the
extortion Of private protected in
terests."
That is certainly one Of the long
ago. proven theories on which op.
position to the-protective tariff AZ
based. It is new thing to see its
correctness SO frankly admitted by sc
staunch a. standpat advocate. Per.
haps it did not realize the full signifi
canoe of it's admission.
The object of protective tariff
ie primarily to shut off competition
from abroad. Even If it is not al.
together proh1bitive 1t nevertheless
exposes the consuming public to the
extortion Of private protected inter
ests' to the extent that it is levied
A ten per cent tariff will expose thu
consuming public to ten per cent ex.

hibitive tariff to whatever extortio1
the traffic will bear.
The Cincinnati Times-Star, 'Brotlie1
Charley's" organ. reproduced the State
Journals admission without any ex-
preston Of dissent. Is 1t possible
that the oft repeated denial of the
robbery Of consumers through the
tariff Is getting to be too heavy q
burden on the conscience Of some
standpatters?

old Proverbs Often
CONVEY FALSE IDEAS
Many Statements Accepted As
Gospel Truths Are Tine
tured With Errors.
Certain Familiar Aphorisms Con-
sidered Analysed and
Refuted.
BY the Rev. Charles Stelzle.

There are certain fallacies which
most Of us have come to accept as
gospel truth. We are told that lone
should always look on the bright side
Of things" but many thing in this
world have no bright side. What
about the young fellows we knew
ten years ago-bright, talented, with
splendid prospects-slipping away in
to intemperance and degradation.
Where is the bright side to that?
What about the awfulness of child
labor; Of disease and suffering due
to ignorance and sin!
All things are for the best" we
are told. This is repeated as though
it were g. text of scripture There
Is no such sentiment in the Bible.
True enough, there Is g. teaching that
when one is following out the purpos-
es of God In his life. then all things
are for the best: but many things
are not for the best-they are hide
ously bad.
Truth lis mighty, and will prevail
this has been said with the assur-
ance that every man who breaches
the truth Is sure to win out. It is
true that the truth is mighty, and
that 1t will prevail. but not necessarily
here and now. nor in every individ-
uars case. Truth did not prevail in
Judea, in Assyria, In Greece, in Rome.
All these nations went down to their
ruin because they neglected the truth.
Truth will prevail, but not always the
exponent of truth. He may be called
| upon to suffer.
! What does all this mean7 just this
1T means that when there Is no
bright side to some things, when
many things are not for the best,
when to preach: the truth means suf-
fering, there is call for men-men
with red blood and strong hearts
who are willing to work and to fight
for the right, who will be willing to
help destroy those things which are
not fer the best, SO that there may
be bright side in the life of every
man, woman and child.
