This is the latest addition to the list of civic
sociations that want to make Tacoma grow and

people to get together to work for the good things
the people need 1t is to be hoped it will be able to
accomplish the purpose for which 1T was formed,
but the promoters should not be sangne OF success
without battle
If the Public Advancement league accomplishes
anything worth while it will have to tackle live ques
tons and when it does it is going to bump against
the same sort of sefinterest that has fought every
other worthy organization in the past.
The Advancement league may well realize this
at the start and be ready to meet the clash when 1t
comes, for it is bound to come. You can't inaugur-
ate or push forward any proposition OF real import
such as municipal street railway, municipal tele-
phone or municipal cold storage plant without hit

Voice Of the People
whnt Is Mans Destiny,

To the Editor of The TimesDispatch:
Sir,-Why is there life? For what
purpose is the human race placed on
the earth? Is 1t all just one vast mys-
terious maze, or is there some under
lying purpose which will be revealed
in the course of time? Is the human
race only to endure for an age ana
then pass away forever. as Is pro-
phesied In Revelation? If SO. the
creation or formulation of the human
race appears to be only wasted energy.
Why make anything which is doomed
TO destruction unless 1t is capable
of accomplishing something prior to
its destruction?
Is the human race. then. chance de-
velopment, n growth of nature or a
Divine occurrence? Will its passing
away be glorious passage TO higher
spiritual life CIR retrogresson to
the ape or monkey. according TO "the
principle of reNerslon to type? The
application Of this principle to the an
imal world is illustrated by DARWIN

a remarkable change has taken place.
The birds, or their descendants rather,
have all become changed into the
same color. The black and white, the
striped. the spotted ,and the ringed
are all metamorphcsed into one--a
dark slaty blue 1t is as If the orig
inal bird. the far remote ancestor OF
all doves. had been blue"
In the plant world the same prrn-
ciple is also shown to be true. "A gar
den is planted, let us say, with straw
berries and roses, and for a number
of years is left alone. In process OF
time 1t will run to waste. But this
does not mean that the plants will
really waste away, but that they will
change into something else, and as
1t invariably appears. into something
worse; in the one case, namely, into
the small wild strawberry of the
woods. and in the other into the prim-
Tive dog rose OF the hedges" Why
should man. who depends for his very
existence upon nature, prove an ex-
ception to the laws of nature?
According to Darwin. there are
tnree possibilities or Ute open to all
living Observation-Disclosures, evolution
and degeneration. Tho first denotes
the persistence of life along level
path, affected neither by evil nor good
This state of equilibrium although it
holds true universally in the inorganic
world, is unknown in the world Of life.
The human race has undoubtedly gone
through IL wonderful process of evo-
luton. Are we still in an evolutionary
stage or have We begun the back
ward trail? If we are still progress
ing what is the ultimate goal Of this
process of Sgolution? Surely 1t can
not be another heaven here ON earth.
We must either continue on TO an en-
trance into a higher life or revert TO
primitive man and the ape, Or fail
into that dreaded possibility of life
balance.
If the human race has divine ORR
gin. it must exist for some purpose. Is
it only IL delicate experiment of the
Creator? This great race with an in
born tendency towards degeneration,
is struggling against this awful fatal
ty ever confronting 1t. What is the OBJ
ject of this experiment? How long
Will 1t last? What will become of the
residue when the result is obtained:

1t is the belief of all Christians that
certain One came into the world that
mankind might see and believe. If 1t
were ordained that they should be-
lieve, then why should 1t not be nee
essary that they believe now? Surely
there is need of some manifestation
in this age Of skepticism, something
convincing to satisfy doubling man
kind. Indeed, there is much to be
asked and still more TO be answered..

and temporary remedies for some OF it's
phases are hailed as lasting solutions.
1t is strange that tho race can neither
face its own motives. or it's own flu
ture, with unblinlling honesty.
But in the present groupings with the
ultimate laws of the race. there is rea-
son for profound hope. The freedom,
frankness, sincerity and brave ideal
ism manifested in this attack upon the
problem OF the centuries is Il wonder
full and noble sign. 1t is good to strip
for action. | is good TO face the cold
and silent facts. 1t is good to seek
the truth, Instead of foolishly pretend
ing that lies are truth. and that if we
do not notice vice. ii does not exist
The half-truths are better than hy-
pocrsy, for we must come to the half
truths on the way to the whole
1t is fine thing for a whole nation
to discuss what will never be helped
by silence. Neither gravity nor hu-
man passion cease because we bar them
from our consideration. The race in
collision with both these laws meets
with accidents. knowledge alone can
prevent such accidents.
1t is encouraging, therefore, that we
are even making mistakes in the effort
TO understand the problem But wo
must also realize that almost without
warning We have come upon the very
central questions OF life In these in
vestigations are bound together the
economic problem, tho woman move
ment, the vice crusade, and the sex
question No half-truth charging of
quiXotic reform will solve these mys-
teries. and if we are bent on solving
them we must go all the way through.
1t is n good thing that in the press
and public life we have laid aside
prudery and sham for franRness and
idealism. 1t will be better when we
come to tho splendid nakedness OF
truth. When we face the fact that
the extinction OF the passion that mis-
guided produces vice, means the OK
tinction Of the race, and that both men
and women answer to the same law.
and when we remember that our faith
is fixed in a homogeneous ideal that
makes this natural law serve society
as - whole. we can trust with Emerson
that when the half-gods go. the gods
arrive
