DEFINITION OF AN OPTIMIST.
BY JAMES A. EDCERTON

UkKANL1AVN w AN VI AhF1ASAs
An optimist is one who does not per
NIT personal crouch to spread itself
over the whole field of his vision.
3 He does not see in his own disap-
pointed desire the general depravity
of mankind.
He does not mistake an inward dis
turbance of digestion for an outward
reign Of evil.
He knows that bile is intended to
assist in alimentary, not cerebral, pro-
esses. In other words, he does not
think with his liver.
The Optimist Is thoroughly imbued
with the American spirit, the spirit
that Is constructive and that is not
frightened by trifes.
He does not see In the fly on the
nearby window a monster on the dis
tant hillside, nor does he waste ammu-
ntion shooting at gnat in his eyebrow
under the error that it Is squirrel in
the treetop.
He looks at life sanely and as a
whole. He is broad enough to see both
the past and the present and to realize
therefore that the world is moving in
the right direction.
Be an optimist. Get the habit. 1t
helps both the health of the body and
that of the pocketbook. Moreover, 1t
makes one possible as companion to
his fellows.
An optimist smiles not only with his
mouth, but with his eyes. He is glad
not only in his words, but in his heart.
He likes folks not only for his own
sake, but for theirs.
An optimist helps build up his town,
boosts for his community, says good
word for his neighbor.
He is the salt of the earth. He is the
light upon hill. 1t is good for any
nation to have him as citizen, good
for any man or woman to have him as
a friend.

GOOD FOR ITS OWN SAKE.
BY JAMES A. EDcERToN

S~v~ AOAN 49, O"N STNAs
A principle is impersonal. 1t belongs
to one as much as another. 1t belongs
to him most who most belongs to it,
who is most loyal to it. Good is prin-
ciple. 1t should be loved because it is
good.
The right thing is the only thing
worth while. Wrong Is negation, a
subtraction from our attainment and
happiness. We talk Of self denial, but
we deny ourselves the thing that Is
mot for US In order that we may have
more abundantly of the thing that Is
for US.
In the real sense the only self denial
is in doing evil. That does take away
from us actually. But to deny our
selves a thing that Injuries US only adds
to us. To injure another Is to injure
ourselves, for action and reaction are
equal. So that to refrain from injur-
ing another actually helps ourselves.
This, in way, is the selfish view Of
the case. We do right because that
furnishes US most happiness. But
there Is an instinct in the soul that
tells us to do good without stopping to
consider what its effects on us may be;
to do good because 1t is good; to do
good for the goods sake. And this is
the proper motive from which to act
This takes out the element Of self seek
ing and puts us on the impersonal
plane Of acting from a principle. In
this case we help others because we
wish them well and want to make them
happy. We act for all because our
hearts 60 out to all and we would give
them blessing. 49,.
When we act on this higher plane we
are expressing our better natures, our
souls We are coming into harmony
with the laws of our own being We
are shifting our point Of motive from
the brute self to the divine self We
are gaining harmony between the diff
4ferent elements Of our own nature
that is, making the lower subject to
the higher. We are making the lion
and lamb, as both are expressed with.
in us, lie down together, with the lamb
as master We are passing from a
dual, warning nature into one nature
mt peace with itself.
This is the highest wisdom. 1t is in.
nate in each Of us. If We but listen to
the still, small voice we realize the
truth without being told IT by another
All seeming good that is not in con
formity to this real good is delusion
There is no truth but truth. That
truth is in our own souls, and II we
but hearken to its promptings 1t will
show us the way.
The lesson Of living Is to learn now
10 do good for it's own sake.

THE NEW GOSPEL.
BY JAMES A. EDCERToN

The new g0Spel Is one OF JOY, OF
building and Of brotherhood. one Of
life, Of health and Of success. 1t has
the confidence of faith, the charity Of
love, the buoyancy Of hope, the catho-
licity of belief in God and man. 1t is
Americanism grown into an outlook
and habit of thought It is the child
of intelligence married to accomplish
ment. 1t is the creed Of those who do
things. 1t has the attitude of knowl-
edge and Of mastery. 1t believes q
man will be what he wills to be- 1t as
serts that character is more than cir
cumstance; that environment which is
adamant before weakness is fluid be-
fore strength, purpose and work. 1t
breaches individual responsibility and
social cooperation. 1t has faith that
the inner world can shape the outer;
that mind is the lord Of matter. 1t
stands for the positive, proclaiming
that good banishes evil, truth van
quishes error, health Overcomes sick
ness and success dispels failure in the
same way that light excludes darkness.
It adopts the Masters method Of re-
sisting not evil, which is negative
thing but of overcoming evil. with
good, which is positive. 1t affirms
truth rather than denies error.
There is a species Of oak on which
the dead leaves cling all winter and
are pushed off by the new leaves in the
spring. So old errors are pushed aside
and fall at the appearance Of new
truths. Supplant the wrong with the
right. Affirm all positive qualities.
such as good, truth, beauty, health,
knowledge, sanity and faith, and their
negations of evil, error. ugliness, dis
ease, ignorance, delusion and doubt,
will drop away Of themselves.
The new gospel is not one Of theory,
but Of practice. 1t is for use, for serv-
ice, for application. 1t proves itself by
its fruits. Believing that God is good,
that he is true. that he Is whole, it
would have men become like God by
expressing these positive virtues. 1t
holds that all things are good except
in the use and the thought of man.
Evil may be but lack of the fullness
of good, or in human deeds evil may be
misplaced action, just as dirt is mis-
placed matter.
The new gospel is not only for one
day of the week, but for all days. 1t
finds its temple under every roof and
in all open spaces. 1t is not alone for
one sect or one order or one race of
men, but for all sects, all orders, all
races Of men. It denies not the divin-
ity of the one, but affirms the divinity
Of the all. 1t is whole gospel, an
equal gospel 1t exalts the common
life. It is democratic, progressive,
constructive. In word, it is optimistic.
The new gospel believes in the whole
someness of humor. 1t holds that a
smile is sunshine and laugh is medi-
cine. Humor laughs at the incongruous
and therefore at evil and error, for
these are incongruities. There is a
philosophy here that Lincoln and
Franklin taught and that the world is
just now learning. Humor can cure
more things than we have yet dream
ed, can laugh away pretense, hypocri-
sy, falsehood, posing, weakness, falla-
cy and other false things that, being
false, are light enough to be blown
away by gale of laughter.

HE HAS A REMEDY FOR
THE JACK RABBIT PEST
Hillsdaie Man Offers to Put the Kibosl
on the Jacks, Exterminating the
Whole Tribe.

Amos Kenworthy, Of Hillsdale, Ore,
under date of July s, writes Secretary
Olcott that he has a remedy for the
jack rabbit pest that, he understands,
is overrunning Eastern Oregon. He
gives no intimation of its character,
but says it is the genuine kibosh, war
ranted to send the long.eared jacks in
to the remote elsewhere with eelerity
and certainty. He says he is willing
to demonstrate the efficacy Of his
remedy, furnishing his own jacks, as
well as the remedy, without expense to
the state When The Capital Journal
scribe saw the secretary this morning,
that mandamused, enjoined and re-
strained official was smiling like a May
morning, a June bride or any other
old or young thing that has reason to
smile and look pleasant cit is such
relief from referendum petitions and
all of that kind Of stuff, and gives one
hope that sometime, somewhere there
will be complete determination of
some of the pests. That was what
the secretary intimated, and that was
why he smiled.

COLUMBIA SOUTHERN
Project NOT SETTLED
Bill Makes Provisions Concerning Con.

constitutional.

The Columbia Southern is not yet
out of the legal forest, and may still
further be delayed. In the especial
coneurring opinion of Justices Bur
nett and Ramsey, with the opinion
written in the case by Justice McNary,
it is pointed out that the manner of
expending the money and disposing of
the prand as provided in the bill may
be unconstitutional, in that it pro-
vides for settlers making new contracts
and for refunding any payments they
have made to the private company
that first began the work, if they do
not care to make new contracts. Attor-
ney Mcmahon is examining into the
matter, and it is quite probable that
further proceedings will be had before
the matter is finally decided. This
phase of the case was not touched in
the recent proceedings, for the reason
that it was not brought up in the
pleadings.
