OsIertsm Condemned.

A meeting has been called at Chicago
to protest against the doctrine of Dr.
Osler and to eliminate the age ltmi
from applications for employment
Here are some Of the things they ga!
about it.:
To adopt a rule barring those of
a certain age from employment in
the productive industries Of mod
ern life Is unjust, unreasonable, Il
logical, barbarous and indefensible.
Unjust, because It drives q man
into the army Of the unemployed
solely because he has lived to
reach the age limit arbitrarily es-
tablished and without any fault on
his part
Unreasonable, because a man at
As is in the very meridian Of his
power for useful effort, with q dis
ciplined and trained mind.
Illogical, because the establish
men and enforcement of such a
limitation has a tendency to de-
stroy worthy ambition when life's
period Of productive industry Is
only half spent, and the shadow
Of such a Limitation disheartens
and induces hopelessness.
Barbarous. because it ignores the
fact that most workers at that age
are the fathers Of young, innocent,
and dependent children, who are
stricken cruelty. without fault on
their part, by the shutting off Of
their parents from continued con-
tribution to their needs.
Indefensible, from every point Of
view. These workers are so far
the creatures of circumstances over
which they have no control that
they are worked like beasts of bur-
den, without even the hope of q
pension stipend.
There is 80 much good sense in tn
presentment that It hardly needs an
comment. and, by the way, It may |
mentioned that DR.. Osler himself b,
passed the limit of age and is ST
living and doing.
Oh, PINE!

take them.
A book without humor is like a din
ner without dessert.
A at of the blues will never help to
keep your memory green.
II our best virtues are never sus-
pected of having an existence, so also
are our biggest possibilities for vice
making an even standof.
Loyalty is the rarest of the virtues.
Perhaps that is the reason we prize
1t above all others.
The man who has to have a pick-me-
up in the morning is apt to get let

1t is one thing to land on your feet
and another to get your feet on land
and hold it. The time some men don't

In getting out.

get anywhere with 1t.
A heavy feeder is too often a light
worker.

Make Russia Come Right

among those who profess the relig-
ion Of the Jew.
At this age and stage of the
worlds history nothing could be
more ridiculous than to gauge q
mans citizenship by his politics OF
his religion.
The time Is coming when Russia
will learn a lesson that will do il
good. 1t is time for Washington tC
awaken to this fact. If Russia does
not want to do the right thing it car
be made to do it and there will be
no war either.
