ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE BETTER PART.

It's wiser being good than bad
It's safer being meek than fierce;
It's filter being sane than mad
NV own hope is, q sun will pierce
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;
That. after last returns the first,
Though a wide compass round be

Robert Browning.
It's Drawer being glad than glum;
It's better being warm than cold;
It's nicer to be glib than dumb;
It's luckier being young than old;
My own hope is that, after all
The eager faith or foolish doubt,
1t may not be my fate to fall
In where l never can crawl out.
Chicago Record-Herald.
It's finer to be kind than mean,
It's cleverer to be true than great.
Pure thoughts are nobler than unclean,
It's manlier to love than hate.
My own hope is through every shock
That comes as on through life I>wend
That some day 1 may buy stock
That really pays q dividend.
Detroit Free Press
It's better to be free than slave;
It's easier to loaf than work;
The sure way to an empty grave
Is always working like Turk.
My own hope Is that with few
More years the way we're going now,
Well get the work we're doing through,
And have more idleness, somehow.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch
It's better to be bright than dull.
It's jollier to smile than frown;
And faith is stronger than pull,
To help a fellow when he's down.
My own hope is some day that /,
With heart care-free and bosom light
May feel myself, nor question why,
Those cheer up moods of which ]
write.

The English Militant

Henry Herbert Asquith, prime min
fster of England, with his family, has
been seeking to obtain rest and recre-
alton in Scotland. But Mr.. Asquith' s
there has not accorded with
the peace and quietude of the sur
rounding country. The militant has
tracked him and done everything in
her power to harass and harm him.
The latest outrage, according to
Sterling telegram just published, oc-
Cured when a carriage containing the
premier and members of his family
was filled with pepper by the suf-
fragettes and Mr.. Asquith and his
daughter were attacked with dog
whips. Happily this is method of
campaigning whose force and subtlety
the western mind is incapable of I'M
Outstanding.
Isreal Zangwill, one of the greatest
writers of the times, has an article in
one of the current magazines in which
he attempts to explain the motives
which actuate the militant suffrag
cites of England. The article is, of
course, powerfully and eloquently
written, and it passed muster before
a board of editors who issue probably
the best magazine in America which
is a supporter of woman's suffrage.
But to many minds Mr.. Zangwill in
rhthis effort is not at all convincing. In
his summing up he says:
Hari-kari, the one resource of the
suffragettes, turns out to be their
strongest weapon. The Englishmen are
not so british they can bear the sight
of martyrd innocence. The heroic sui
eide of a lady of wealth and station on
the public doorstep of the Derby is
worth a wilderness of fires, and the
cross that was borne before her body
at the great funeral was a more vic
torious symbol than the hammer.
This is very pretty, but somewhat
bombastic. 1t will be noticed that Mr..
Zangwill does not say that the cause
\ of equal suffrage has been advanced
My Miss Davison's spectacular suicide.
He continues:
Militancy is successful only insofar
as it brings suffering to the militants.
IF this were real war. could one say
the greater their casualties the nearer
their triumph? Mrs. Pankhurst is mem
ncing the enemy with her own death.
We're that death laid down in man
ner which would prove of aid to a
cause which even small number Of
people thought right, it would bring
sympathy and support, as did the
blood of the early martyrs. But to the
average mind the crazy doings of the
Suffragettes are as uncalled for as
they are futile.
Mr.. Zangwill says that four years
ago Mrs. Pankhurst said in the dock !:
"Our words have always been be
patient, exercise self restraint, show
our so-called superiors that the criti-
cism of women being hysterical is not
true; use no violence, but offer your
selves to the violence of others"
This advice of self abnegation has
been wholly reversed. 1t is now the
government minister who is menaced
by the torch and the Ratchet. AS Mr..
Zangwill himself is forced to con-
clude, ut is not the vote"

1t is only by being actively engaged in

that a mans hands shall always be busy,

running on errands of practical efficiency

heart sensitive to all the appeal which
humanity always makes to those who can

Even when Emerson's memory became
uncertain, and hts mind became in that
sense clouded, his thoughts We're as beau
tiful and as characteristic as they had
been in his youth. The machinery was
somewhat impaired but the quality, the
immortal freshness of the man, remained
untouched. To keep young one must as
sociate with youth, and youth is ex-
pressed, not merely in people, but in ideas,
In interests, In occupations. There is
youth in a collection of books, in a gar
den. in nature, in friendship. The whole
world is charged with youth. Old age,
like death, is merely incidental.
