new truths, and wanted to teach the world. ignorance,
bigOtry and hatred of truth seized upon him and
burned him alive
AS he stood fastened to the post while eXecutiOners
piled the wood around his feet little child, think
ing to make itself useful gathered up small stick and
added it to the bonfire.
Sacred simplicity" said the great man, looking
down without anger upon the child he looked with
out anger upon the ignorant eXecutiOners plIng
agos to burn him to death Who doubt that Bruno,
the flames wrapped about him and the horrible
pain seized upon him, felt himself FAILURE!
He has been for generations one OF the worlds
GREATEST successes. His last words his quiet,
brave death, have done more perhaps than he could
have done by living to teach for half century.
His eXecutiOners set fire to their own damnable sys-
tenn of persecution and torture and destroyed that by
which they expected to live.
In one day in StrassbOurg six hundred Jews were
burned to death because they would not deny their
faith Every one of them could have saved his life
by swearing to a lie.
Probably they also felt that they failures. Each
might have written, as Scott wrote in his diary Our
dead bodies must tell the tale
Those six hundred dead bodies in Strassbourg those
mutiated charred cOrpses, and hundreds of thousands
of Others "te the tale of persecution that has end
ed at least in civilized lands; of marvellous courage
that has endured through tens of centuries to conquer
at last.
Among the earliest, most daring and greatest
pOrers of the country in which live were mission
aries priests from France. These explored the
North and the West. They lived among the Indians
tried to change their hopeless savagery into human
kindness. One after another dozens of these devoted
men were tortured and killed by the savages whom
they sought to befriend.
Imagine one of those missionary priests alone in the
Western woods, tied to tree. tortured SLOWLY and
brutay for hours perhaps for days, and permitted to
die only when all power of suffering had gone
Such man. but for his religious faith would have
felt himself failure. Yet those were the men that
ahead of the pioneers ahead of the fortune seekers and
the gold see kers marked out the paths of this country

AS they died alone, never to be heard of again. their
work seemed failure, but in reality it was great eter-
mai success
Nathan Hale, a mere boy, must have felt that HIS
e was failure as he stood with the around his
neck waiting for death. But everybody knows to-day
hat MS life and death of the highest value to his
own and future generations. Had he lived to be the
greatest soldier in the army of America, or in any
army, he could not have done as much for humanity
as he did in dying shameful DEATH reerettng that
ne mad but one life to give for the cause in which he
believed.
So it has been from the beginning That which the
world has called success has been often failure and
that which in themselves have condemned as
failure has been great and wonderful success.
The world will have forgotten the names of sue
CESSFUL explorers and will still remember the brave
quiet Englishman who had all in the way of courage
that any man could have, yet honored his nation
above all heroes of recent years. as he wrote that SIM
pie last message Our dead bodies tell the tale"
You know that our EARTH it rolls through infinite
space, through millions of ages constantly shifts its
position on its axis. That which was the North Pole
ceases to be the North Pole to become the Tropics,
then the North Pole again.
Our planet tiny grain of dust in infntude turns
and shifts in obedience to perpetual law In addition
to its regular daily visible motion, which we see in
night and day every twenty four hours the earth has

years in the making of single circumference
The star which is our North Star to-day will not be

-as astronomers count tme-we shall have another
North STAR and then another and then another until
at last in seventeen thousand years. the northern ex
tremty of our planet will again corse around and
point it points to-day and the sun eAth which we
travel through space will at the end of that time have
made only little lap its journey toward the
great star Vega.

And unfortunately, this, tOO will remain true Sue
in achievement glory in failure will be reserved
for THE FEW.
The Of those that work and share the risk and
the suffering will remain unrecOgnized and unknown
The whole world talks of Scott and he deserves it.
But what of the men, unnamed, unknown who vol
unteered with Scott; what of those who took every
risk that he took, WITH NO HOPE OF THE GLORY
THAT MIGHT BE HIS?
What about Seaman Evans, i'll because of exposure
a giant IN physical strength, Scott testified, who
struggled with frozen feet until he lost his mind?
When this man started ON the expedition he had no
hope of glory. He knew that his name would scarcely
be remembered heard of except among his own
friends and family.
Yet ne did everything that the greatest explorer
could have done, since he showed all courage.
What Seaman Evans did this expedition
countless thousands and millions of ordinary men,
ordinary workers. have done in generations gone by
and ARE doing at this moment.
Then there Captain Oates, the cavalry officer,
who deliberately wandered off alone into the Geld and
the storm that the others might be compelled to on
leave him. and not be burdened by him.
Back of all the great achievements in the world are
men and women unknown whose names are forgot
ten or were heard of.
You see Napoleon coming back from Russia, leave
ing his dead scattered along both sides of the road
so thick that the journey could be made again
by following the bleaching bones.
How many of those men do you suppose died IN

the of England rulers great part of the

ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS
OPPOSE FRANCHISE
Delegation Appears Before
House Committee.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Opponents of
woman suffrage appeared before the
house rules committee to argue that
committee on woman suffrage
should not be created by the house.
The delegation was headed by Mrs.
A. M. Dodge of New York, who has
just been reelected president of the
National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage.
The members of the delegation
marched to the house office building
in a body. In that respect they fol-
lowed the plan of the National Amer
ican Woman Suffrage association,
which sent a delegation of nearly
1000 women to present the suffragist
side of the argument to the rules
committee.
Speakers for the opponents de-
clared working women were opposed
to the franchise because they would
lose more than they would gain. This
was in answer to the statement of the
suffragists that the working women
needed the franchise and were strong
ly in favor of it.
1t was contended that the suffrage
movement was sporadic in its nature
and that the ballot was not wanted by
as many women as the suffragists de-
clare. 1t was denied that the suffra-
gist movement had grown to such pro-
portions as to demand house COM
