LIFE As A COMPROMISES.

Scientists have puzzed themselves
to give an adequate definition of life
that shall include all essential partic-
ulars and exclude all that does not
properly belong to 1t. Without at
tempting this difficult task, let us
consider life as maintained in n some-
what restricted passage between ex-
tremes Of condition that would render
It impossible.
In the early days Of last July we
were sweltering under conditions Of
heat and drouth that severely taxed
the vital forces. A little more than
six months later we have had ex-
tremes OF cold and storm about equal
ly trying. We brace ourselves against
these extremes and when they have
passed need time to readjust ourselves
to more normal conditions. Life that
is held by tenuous grip often gives
way in the trial.
These extremes are separated by a
little over a hundred degrees of Fahr-
enheit's thermometer. The possible
limits of human endurance lie consid-
erably above and below these ex-
tremes. Men can evist in Death VAL
ley and in the intense cold of polar
altitudes-a possible range OF about
200 degrees. Domestic animals are
not able to live under extremes much
greater though this may be possible
to some low forms Of animal or vege-
table life
This is a rather narrow range, COM
pared with what we can produce. Air
| llqueiies at something like 400 degrees
below zero, while many thousand de-
grees of heat can be produced In blast
furnaces; however these extremes
are probably but slight compared
with the interval that separates the
suns glowing interior from the in.
tense cold OF interstellar spaces.
Narrow as Is the range OF possible
life, that Of comfort is far narrow,
er. Those accustomed to extrem,
heat are prostrated by moderate cold
those to extreme cold, by moderat,
heat. Only by degrees can we ad
just ourselves to these extremes. Th'
history OF the world has been mad'
in large degree by races In the tenn
perate zones between the extremes o
intense heat and intense cold.
Life has numerous other compro
misses, as between excessive mOistur
and excessive drouth. the SUMS un

ELucIDAT1oN by MARKHAM.

The New York World made SUI
perhcial criticism of Edward Mark
hams poem, "The Man With the
Hoe" 1t seems the editorial writer
did not catch the proper significance
of the author of that poem and drew
from him a letter of explanation and
elucidation of the writer's concept
and view point of oppression and the
degradation of labor. This epistle OF
Mr. Markham is one Of the most
lucid flashes OF the day and makes
the meaning of the noted poet very
clear. Those who are interested will
read the explanation which follows
with much enlightenment:
In your editorial the oiner day on
my poem, THE Man with the Hoe"
you went a little wide of the mark.
But this was eXcusable in you, since
you may not have seen the picture
that inspired the poem. The picture
represents a man (if we can call him
a mani bent wearily over a hoe in
the midst of a desolate field. 1 took
this man as the type of men who are
the victims OF Industrial oppression
in all lands. The Hoeman Of my
poem does not refer to every man who
wielis a hoe.
NO the Hoeman is the efigy OF
man, a drudge with no outlet to his
life, no uplift to his soul-a drudge
with no time to rest, no time to think,
no time to pray, no time for the
mighty hopes that make us men.
The Hoemon is the symbol of be-
trayed humanity, the toiler ground
down through ages of social injustice.
He Is the man pushed away from
ownership of the land by those who
fail to use the land. till at last he
has become a mere hireling, with no
mind in his muscle and no heart in
his handiwork.
In a larger sense the Hoeman is
the type of Industrial oppression in
all fields Of labor He might be the
man with a needle in a New York
swoat-shop, the man with a pick in
West Virginia coal mine, the man
with a hod in a London alley, tho
IMAM WIN a. SiitAht VI AAAN bhAAtf4 ~
the Zuyder Zee.
This man is not going upward In
step with the divine music of the
world. The motion of his life has beer
arrested. He is hulk of humanity
degraded below the level Of the rowing
savage, who has a step OF dignity, a
tongue Of eloquence. The Hoemar
is not a remnant of prehistoric time;
he is not a relic of barbarism. lie
is the savage of civilization.
So my Hoe-Poem is not a protest
against labor of any sort. No, It is
my souls word against the degrada-
tion of labor, the oppression Of mar
by man.
My Hoe-Poem should never be
criticised except in connection Will
the Hoeman picture, which may bC
found in my volume. "The Man Will
the Hoe, and other Poems"

a negative is the most probable an
swer. Judging from analogy. each
has had, or is yet to have. its age
of living things. So. we may guess,
It is with the worlds surrounding, or
yet to surround, the uncounted suns
which we see as stars that gem the
vault of night.
With a poets vision, Jean Paul saw
the Saharas Of the universe throb.
bing with myriad forms of happy liv-
ing things. They are. on the other
hand, scientists who cannot be as
sured that higher forms of life are
found elsewhere than on our planet.
Which is rlght2 Here the most prob
able answee is one Of compromise.
Has anybody observed that Col
Roosevelt has been smoked out? We
have been looking for designs but
have failed to discover anything on
the trestle-board of politics.
Five people were Killed who were
out on a lark, joy-riding, Saturday

II is about as easy TO blow the
ordinary safe with modern scientific
preparations as It is to fall Off log
provided the police do not interfere.
Therefore when one has a consider
able sum Of money and valuable jew
els and precious stones he should de-
post them in some bank. The COM
mon safe is just about secure enough
to hold stationery and dozen postage
stamps. But people become careless
and If these robbers We're a little
more dIligent they could find good
many well-loaded safes because peo-
pie will be neglectfui, will forget
will overlook a point. But the lesson
is bank your money and hire draw
er in the vault of some well-built
bank for safe place to keep your
diamonds. or place your valuables
in an old shoe or some unsuspeete6
place about the house. Thieves anC
robbers go straight after pocketbook'
and the money boxes Of safes They
break into banks only occasionally

officials of this graft-r1dden town,
denied to the strikers the right to
assemble in the public park. The
chief of militia applauded Scan
Ions act. The strikers had met
there before the militia came with
no violence.
Soldiers have instructions to
prevent anyone from standing
more than 20 seconds on any
street. 1t was not necessary to
gag the free press of Boston, be-
cause it has no free press, pub
fishers having long ago accepted
the gag for profit.
Charity! Well, there is one or
ganization here nicely iced. Rev.
Clark Carter runs it. He said in
the face of the wretched poverty
of the strikers: "The. standard
of living in Lawrence is magnifi-.
Gently progressive" whatever
that means, and spiritually white
washed the Arkwright club.
The records of the state board
of charity show that in one year
Carter's city mission collected
$4,765.57 in subscriptions and do
nations and during that year Car
ter spent 81, AL .43 for salaries of
himself and assistant and the
maintenance of their office.
When some of the local clergy
were telling strikers they should
disregard their leaders and go
back to work there were some
conspicuous exceptions.
The strikers committee sent
out a subcommittee to warn

militia.
The strikers involved violated
the orders of their leaders, ex-
pressed at all of the meetings the
writer attended.
In one of these street fights
Anna La Pizzo was shot. She was
a striker. Several policemen were
on the scene, but no murder ar
rest was made. But around mid
night two policemen went to Et-
tors bedroom and arrested him,
charging him: with being an ac-
cessory before the fact of the
murder of one of his own army.
Ettor was mile from the scene
of the murder.
Two eye witnesses swear that
Anna was shot by a policeman.
This evidence was produced.
But Ettor was held without bail.
The strikers petitioned for a writ
of habeas corpus and carried
their witnesses to the supreme
court. Judge Bradley of Boston,
refused to hear the witnesses of
the defense. He denied the writ.
Ettor remained in Jail.
Policemen say the literature
found in Ettor's satchel is the
basis of the charge. That is, that
Ettor melted to murder one of his
own people!
A police judge friend of Wood
sent strikers to prison as fast as
they came up charged with inter
fering with militiamen, or prop
erty, or carrying concealed weap-
