BY WILLIAM L. ELLIS
This is god exercise in mental gym
nastics. It involves long, high jump
forward. Ones personality is project
ed from the fog of the present into
the clear sunshine of the future. An
effort is made to try to see things in
retrospect, and to look upon the pres
ent as if it had become the past; and
to try to weigh relative values from
the standpoint of eternity. IF I had
my life to live over again. we often
hear people say; and then they pro-
coed to enumerate the mistakes they
would avoid Whittier gathers up this
common thought in the familiar lines,
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, 1T might have
been"
As the business man borrows from
next years profits to increase today S
capital, so the wise person may an
ticipate tomorrow's experience for to-
days service. Imagination may lend
US, to some degree, the attitude or
the coming years. 1t is possible to
know how many traits of character,
and some kinds of conduct will ap-
pear when reviewed from the angle
of a distant future. Why not thus
capitalize eternity?
The last words of John B. Cough,
ere he was stricken on the public
platform in a Philadelphia suburb,
were, Young man keep your record
clean" The deel wisdom of that
exhOrtatiOn is clearer to the old than
to the young. There is not a man of
experience in the world, if he have
any concern for humanity, who would
not say, as his most important message
to youth, Beware of doing in heed
lessness or impulsiveness anything
that will cause you shame or sorrow
twenty years hence. A youth free
from folly means a life free from re-
morse. The bitter sorrow of countless
persons-sorrow that spells tragedy
and disgrace and disappointment, and
shut doors of usefulness and happi-
neSS-is the recollection and conse-
Quences of the sins of youth. "Oh, if
somebody had only warned me that I
would wear this one act of evil i'm
pulse like a feion's fetter all through

How would 1 look upon this act
or this course, twenty, fifty, thous

to ask ones self frequently.

Nobody is ever sorry, when he comes
to review life as a whole, for having
been unselhsh. The person who ha:
poured out his life in service Of hi:
fellows has made the most acceptable
of offerings to God; and all the pains
of self-sacrifice are forgotten in tht
sweetness of Fellowship with Him who
gave His life for the world.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-04-06

Nobody is ever sorry for having
been loyal to his friends and to his
ideals. The memory of having stooo
fast by those who trusted one-by
Christ and all lesser friends-is one
of the rewards that make the END
of life glad.

POLITICAL OR WORK
SUBSTITUTE NEEDED?

The official edict has been issued by
the city clerk to all employees of the city
and county government that they must
not play the game of politics during
business hours. The edict followed the
passage of a resolution by the board Of
supervisors, Tuesday night. The no.
tice received by all employees reads as
follows:
"At meeting held by the board OF
supervisors the sth instant, the follow
ing motion was duly put and carried;
"That all of the departments be noti-
fed that if any of its employees are
doing politics during working hours,
they shall hire substitute during those
hours"
Politicians of the city government
perused the notice with interest.
'It appears TO me from a reading of
the notice" said one, "that it is
question whether the notice means that
an cmploye shall hire a substitute to do
his Office work or his politics"
