THE INVITATIONS OF GREATNESS
THAT COME TO YOUTH

In the July American Magazine, H.
G.. Wells, writing his story, "Mar-
riage," makes one of his principal
characters, who is successful business
man, speak as follows:
"'Oh, why should the life Of every
day conquer uss Why should genera
tion after generation Of men have these
fine beginnings, these splendid dreams
of youth, attempt so much, achieve 50
much, and then, then become-this!
Look at this room, this litter Of little
satisfactions! Look at your pretty
books there-a hundred minds you have
pecked at, bright things of the spirit
that attracted you as Jewels attract p
jackdaw. Look at the glass and silver,
and that silk from China! And we are
in the full tide Of our years, Marjorie.
Now is the very crown and best Of our
lives. And this is what we do, we sam
pie, we accumulate. For this we loved,
for this we hoped. Do you remember
| when we were young-that life seemed
| so splendid was intolerable we
should ever dies The splendid dream!
The intimations of greatness! The mis-
cradle failure!"

rHE MOST DIoNIFIED FIGURE

THE MOST DIGNIF1ED FIGURE
Minneapolis Tribune (Rep).: The
most dignifed figure in the Chicago
convention adorns neither official
platform, the high seats of honored
guests, nor the seething pit Of contend
ing delegates.
It sits calmly at the press table, con-
templating the wreck Of policies and
crash Of ambitions, viewing without
rancor the death struggle of the party
that has kept it in the privacy of
citizenship, though never in obscurity,
and Eliminating upon the const ructive
duty that lies before those who are to
govern when it has gone to its own
place. 80. ......
To MI. Bryan: the convulsive with
ings of unbounded ambition, the fran
tic promises of appetite for power, the
gross temptations of unlimited money,
the menaces Of violence and the bid
ding of every price for the means OF
rule, mean no more than the stubborn
reliance on out-worn machinery, the
dead weight Of tradition and precedent
that resist them.
The whole for him is the closing
stage of a historical episode which be.
gan when he breathed the spirit OF
democracy into the democratic party
sixteen years ago and gave the signal
for the struggle between progress and
reaction that has ragged around the
compass Of selfish ambition and cunning
greed till it has moved him over to the
Conservative side.
He has seen his supreme intellectual
error forgotten, while the power of his
moral ideas rose and swelled till it
dominated both parties. He has seen
his democratic policies stolen and Dor
rowed by scheming ambition to achieve
undemocratic power and station.
He has seen the democratic party
consolidated by the fusion Of his moral
fervor, and the republican party dis
rupted by the, perversion Of his poll:
cies of reform to the selfish lust OF
power.
He finds himself in the very center
of the whirlpool, steadfast where all
else is fux and change, the accepted
type of democratic citizenship in a
representative government, the stand
ing example of progress without revo
luLlOn, OF eVOluClOn WlCnouC uesIiuoCioH
of conservation Of the sound, rejection
of the corrupt, Incorporation Of new
thought without abandonment of ole
traditions.
It is higher service to citizenship
to present this figure to the nationa
| convention of his political opponents
than to receive from his own thu
nomination Of the presidency. He is {
man of thought rather than Of action
and might forfeit by new intellectual
errors the moral dominion he has
achieved in the public opinion Of thu
| country.
| Perhaps we have had sufficient il
lustration for the present Of a goot
man gone wrong in the presential Of
| flee.

Business men Of Honolulu, Hawaii,
are preparing to build a modern hotel
on the reef off Diamond Head, where
the naval station is located. The most
interesting feature Of the hotel will be
a glass-walled shaft which will extend
down into the sea, allowing the guests
to descend and observe the wonderful
sea life in that locality. A page view
of the shaft as projected appears in

THE TITANIC DISASTER AND AN
OTHER BY DIR. O. K. wINDBERG

The greatest difficulty in this work
is to arouse the public to activity.
They imagine that there is no danger,
that they are immune, that they are
unsuitable. When the finest Of ocean
ships, the Titanic, sank and 1000 per!
sons lost their lives it shocked the
heart of the civilized world, and gov
ernmental inquiries were in order. in
both Europe and America, while, when
this same number, 1000, die eve2
eight months, only in our own state, a
much more horrible death from con-
sumption, a preventable disease, the
public is sleeping and snoring on the
lower deck. Where are your ife-pre-
servers9 Where are your life boats
You have none! What is your captain
doingg Is he at the millionaire's din
ner? Wake up we drowsyheads! There
is danger! Get up! am in the "crows
nest' and see 10000 tuberculosis ice
bergs travelling on our street cars, in
our railway trains, and on the public
highways Of our state. Buckle on your
armour of knowledge how to prevent
the disease and fight for the safety of
yourself, your. family and your fellow
men! Read the literature the nurse will
give you, get well posted, and become
a big fighting German for the good Of
our state. =.
Remember, tell you the truth. You
and your family are not out Of danger.
Consumption affects all classes. It
goes into the halls of congress-, yes, it
enters even into the United States
senate and robs our senators Of their
fondest future hopes! You say that
germs and bacilli will not affect you
and yours. What a self-delusion! What
a self deceit! The truth is that both you
and I are not immune all the time. Our
systems are at times in receptive
condition. We often become very good
culture media and the germs may get
the better Of both Of us; so enlist, be-
come an active worker, and let us at
least have battle royal while we have
chance.

Endge Frater of Seattle, according to
die Seattle Post Intelligencer, instruct
vi twenty-three men "just admitted to
citizenship in the American Republic,
sxat when they took oath Of allegiance,
and swore to support and defend the
aw and Constitution of the United
States they were not carrying out their
aaths if they went out Of the court
loom and began campaign to change
the laws and Constitution Of the coun-
hy.'
Judge Frater had more sense than
that when he lived in Minnesota. The
Washington environment seems bad for
sUrne judges. There is nothing rigid
about the constitution. It's trainers put
INTO it a method hv which it could be
amended. Every citizen has right to
seek its amendment by any lawful
means. No wonder the demand for
judicial recall is growing, when Seattle
alone can produce two judges like Han.
lind and Frater.
