LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SnE

A gentleman remarked to T.
that the true theory of life was t
get on the amiration side and moi
on the cynical and objurRatory side
of life. We believe H. at il sensible,
says the Ohio State journal. Look
on the bright side and if there
is no bright side FURNISH up the
dark side" is a little quotation We
put in our note book more than a
score of yearB ago. II is good
gospel. 1t is the doctrire of hone.
Grumbling at everything is un.
Christian. II will con6cmn a man
ms sure as profanity or lying.
The Bible says, But let all
those that put their rust in thee
rejoice There is philosophy for
this. A person csnno do any good
in a bad spirit. II on hates a man
ne cannot reform him. Every
good thing that a nan does pulls
some evil up by tberoots. Good
deeds grow by smile as the wheat
grows by the sunship. Boost the
good and the bad vii have a Door
chance.
1t is right to curl the evil if one
does not waste all his strength at
it, so that he will hive to sit down
and lose heart. Ticre is no final
defeat in an honest, sincere effort.
aud that Is the doctinc Of the up-
ward look and the right side Of
life.

]. BRUCE ISMAY

More and more as we read
the stories OF the survivors Of
the Titanic disaster and the
testimony given before the senate
investigating committee the truth
is driven home that the loss of that
magnificent ship and its human
cargo was due to the reckless,
instatiate greed of its owners to
make a record trip so that a
harvest of gold would flow into the
Golfers of its wealthy. owners For
this Captain Smiths memory will
always be furnished. hero though
he was. Yet when all the facts
are know and the responsibility
for the wreck placed upon the
shoulders of the living whose greed
drove the Titanic headlong upon
the mountain of ice Captain
Smiths name may be cleared If

Among the passengers of the
Titanic was j. Bruce lsmay one of
the millionaire owners of the ship
and the managing director Of the
White Star line. He was doubtless
the ruling spirit on the Titanic
and Captain Smith was merely an
employee. According to the state
ments of some of the survivors,
they sroke to Ismay on Saturday
about the great speed Of the ship
and were told that it would go
faster on Sunday. Sunday came
and the stately palace was crowded
almost to its limit of speed. Sun
day night a mountain of ice doomed
in its path and the men at the
wheel were unable to change her
course in time to avoid a collision.

Upon him, justly or unjustly we
know not, are poured the wrath of
