MAI.DAIS.

Joy. pleasure. mirth are greater
when they follow opposing states.
Joy is greater for sadness; a contin-
ued round of pleasure no longer
pleascs: mirth that never is serious
becomes empty fickleness.
There are times of life and seasons
of the year especially appropriate
for gladness: times for being free
from care and the too serious
thoughts of the future. Such times
are youth and May. In reality youth
is May. May-days and youth do not
last long. 1t is not always May"
These May-days now should be the
brightest. pleasantest, happiest, days
days for laughter, singing dancing
and flowers.
Years from now when other May
DAYS come and other May queens are
crowned memories of those of your
youth will soften the sterner realities
of life when its pleasures are found
to be not all they seem.

element.

The sun rises. A man-child opens
his eyes. He is, but he does not know
it. Soon he gets acquainted with
himself and in the morning he runs
out to play. Every fiber of his being
responds to the new, strange world
around him. For him there is no
tomorrow. no care. no anything but
self. He is full of joy and gladness.
With the passing of the morning
its beauties begin to wither. In the
stronger light of the advancing day
that which earlier was dim in out
line becomes clearly defined. In the
place of newness. strangeness and
gladness there looms up an ugly real

SUPPRESSION OF NEWS.
Who cares

You cannot escape the smell of
sewer gas by merely closing your
doors. You must clean the sewer"
Talcott Williams, dean of the Pulit-
ger School of Journalism used this
striking figure to reply to criticisms
of newspapers for printing unpleas-
ant facts.
There are thousands of crusades
and "isms" abroad and the greater
number of their followers get the
idea that if newspapers We're to quit
printing a certain brand of news. ev-
erything would come out all right.
Certain advocates of the peace move
ment suggest that if newspapers
would stop printing stories of wars
universal peace and would quickly
result. There are others who profess
to believe there would be less crime
in the world if newspapers did not
print stories of crime.
The facts are that nothing moves
without some impetus. Progress is
dependent upon agitation. 1t takes
an aroused public conscience tc
achieve reforms and public con-
sciences are aroused only by the pre-.
sentation of certain facts.
Suppose the newspapers were toe
nice to print the facts of election
frauds or of legislative corruption. A
famous New York political ring once
offered a newspaper man $3,OOO,OO(
to suppress certain facts he had dis
covered. Evidently all efforts tt
suppress news of crime and cOrrup
ton are not actuated by regard fol
moral decency.
The ostrich shuts his eyes to fact!
and feels safe. Why be an ostrich?
