EPIC or HUGH GLASS
OLD FRONTIERSMAN's WONDER.
Full BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Horribly Mangled by Grizzly Bear
lie Was Left In the Wilderness
to Perish.

An epic story in its essence is the
story Of heroic men battling. aided or
or frustrated by the superhuman
John c. Ncihart. in The River and
|, says that Americans do not write
epics, they live them: and he recalls
the story Of old Hugh Glass. which
he declares to be wonderful enough
70 be the foundation CT a tremendous
Aeschylean drama. He describes him
as giant to endure. and an angel to
forgive.
He was in the LeavenwOrth cam
pai6n against the Arkaras. and after
ward went as a hunter with the Henry
expedition. He had a friend, a mere
bay. and the two were very close.
One day Glass. who was in advance
OF the party. beating up the country
for game, fell in with grizzly, and
when the main party came up, he lay
horribly mangled, with the bear
standing over him. They killed the
bear. but the old man seemed done
for. His face had all its features
scraped off. and one of his legs went
wabbly when they lifted him.
1t was merely a matter Of one more
man being dead, so the expedition
pushed on, leaving the young friend
with several others to see the old man
underground
But the old man was fighter and
refused to die. though he was uncon-
scious. lie fought stubbornly Cor sew
eral days. but it seemed plain enough
that he would have to let go soon.
So the young friend and the others
left the old man in the wilderness TO
finish up the job by himself. They
took his weapons and FASTENED after
the main party, for the country was
hostile
But one day old Glass woke up and
got one Of his eyes open. When he
saw how things stood, he vowed that
he would live. merely for the sake OF
killing his false friend. He crawled
TO a spring near by, where he found

day after day for strength. and finally
started out to crawl a small matter
Of 100 miles TO the nearest fort.
He did it. Also he found his friend

CANADA'S VIEW.

This newspaper commented few
days ago on the intense nationalism
manifested by the Canadians in the
recent campaign. There remains to
add a foot.note to history, relative
to the anti-American sentiment there
displayed.
A recent writer in the English Spec.
tator tells the whole story, when he
thus expresses the Canadian attitude
THE American idea, and very pos.
sibly from their point of view rightly
so, is to absorb the whole of the North
American continent. On the other
hand, the British people of Canada
will burn their last cartridge to pre-
vent such forcibe absorption"
The Canadians are a fine people
But they slightly exaggerate their
own importance. Uncle Sam would
not explode a July 4th firecracker for
any Canadian territory that did not
bring with it the hearts of the Canad-
ian people as free gift.
1t never occurred to the people who
opposed reciprocity on this side of
the line to evoke any unneighborly
feeling. They fought the treaty merely
because they thought it was a bad
trade. But the Montreal Star and
other newspapers felt it necessary to
call us those "Impudent and arrogant
Americans" When people can't dis.
cuss mere exchange of goods in
terms of dollars and cents and rela-
tive value, they are not well qualified
for the give and take of commercial
life.
Canada has been historically a bad
loser. The fact that the soft raiment
of the American revolutionary Tories
was exchanged for a garment of tar
and feathers has never been forgotten
in these 1870 years. And the fact that
our soldiers invaded Canada at that
time and in the war of 1912 might
well be omitted from the platform of
live issues 100 years later. And it
is not forgotten that the Canadian
commissioners declined to sign the
arbitral agreement over the Alaska
boundary eight years ago, though as a
minority they might be expected to
bow to the will OF the whole court.
Canada with her superb industrial
wealth and substantial future has
chosen as she has perfect right. The
hearts of our achieving people, with
the opening of the Panama canal, will
turn more and more to the southwark
and Canada will miss some industrial
opportunities.

so strongly urged by President Taft
against corrupt or unworthy judges

sound and impregnable, founded upon
that strong sense of justice and that
sterling common sense for which the
president is recognized as possessing.

poor politician. He confesses that
he has made lots of mistakes since

he expects to make a good many more

president but as president he is try

his duty, under the republican party's
platform pledges-even those of Iowa

Cy Young, the veteran baseball
player, who has held his own in the
national game as pitcher for more
than twenty years, attributes his sue
cess in his strenuous career to being
temperate in all things. This is a
very simple statement and at first
thought does not impress one as being
anything unusual. But when you
come to think of it how many people
do you know who are really temperate
in all their habits and activities? Who
do not work too much-or play too
much-or eat-or drink-or swear
or pray-or hate-Or envy-or fear
too much? The doctors know that
practically all the ailments in the
world are caused by over-indulgence
in some way. There is a strong moral
lesson to be drawn by people of all
classes from this statement of a sue
cessful baseball player.

business of the towns from which the

Mr.. Borden, the conservative leader

Canada'S refusing to come into a

States. He says that it means sim.
ply that Canada has determined to con-
tinue the policy of national develop.
ment on the lines which she has laid
down and which the liberal cabinet
had no mandate to change. This
policy involves the keeping of her tar
ifs in her own hands and the
avoidance of entangling alliances. The
relations of the two countries will re-
main as friendly as ever but Canada

out leaning on us. In short because
of their pride in standing alone and
keeping their fence up and the gate
barred, they have flatly rejected the
great market which this country of.
fered them. Let them glory in their
national spirit as long as it tastes
good, for there can be little doubt that
the dominion will one day realize that
great blunder was made for the
sake of sentiment.

JUDGE GRossCUP's PHILOSOPHY

JUDGE GROSSCUP'S PHILOSOPHY.
The personality of Judge Peter S.
Grosscup, who is likely to retire from
the United States circuit bench, has
been the subject of passionate debate.
Particularly since he reversed the
$29,O0O000 Standard Oil fine, he has
been denounced as the friend of cor
porations. Yet the interests" fear
him as radical.
The fact of it is that Judge Gross
cup has an original philosophy of his
own. One may not agree with him,
but certainly he has got his opinions
from no particular newspaper, and
nobody has hired his brains to plead
private cause.
According to Judge Grosscup, the
trouble with the trusts is that we have
failed to put the human interest mo-
tive at work. Only about forty years
ago, he says, the property of the
country consisted largely of land.
Nearly every one was an original own
er of some property that belonged to
him, and was under his personal eye.
But now the farmers boy has gone
to the towns, and all he looks for is
a better salary in some big corpora
ton. Therefore he must PROSTATE his
ambition and his conscience to the
man higher up.
The trouble is not essentially, says
the judge, that the wife pays more
for her market basket, or that the
man does not get the salary he wants.
The trouble is that the average Amer
lean is not being given more of his
share in the achievements of his time.
Trying to correct the trusts by law
suits, according to Judge Grosscup, is
just like locking the stable door after
the horse is stolen.
Judge Grosscup says that in Ger
many thirty years ago, there had de-
veloped scandals of corporation man.
agement much like ours. They were
reformed, with the consequence that
the modern socialistic propaganda ia
Germany is not directed against the
great corporations, but against an I'M
just landed proprietorship.
Judge Grosscup's remedy is to
make every corporation get govern.

secure government sanction for its
capitalization, TO submit its methods
