NOT HARD TO DIE; FEAR is A
DISEASE.

Death does not hurt. Only the I'M
natural images of it cause distress,
and for that reason DIR. Howard A.
Knox, surgeon of the United States
public health service at Ellis Island,
tells the world not to take death so
seriously.
Fear of death is simply nervous
disease-a phobia of long standing
which he thinks should be overcome.
1t merely means the emigration to
other shores, he says.
Like the fear of ghosts and dark
places" says DR.. Knox, "the morbid
fear of death is often implanted in the
childish mind by unthinking older per-
sons, therefore, we ought never to de-
pict death and the grave in more SOM
Der eolors than really belong to them.
Gloomy images of this kind serve only
to disturb the imagination and exercise

baneful influence upon the impress
sionable mind of the child. These in
fluences are generally permanent, for
we we'll know that many otherwise
level headed adults are greatly dis
turbed by stories Of the supernatural,
tence with too much time for refec-
and the same persons will step from
dark cellars into the light with more
haste than grace.
"This phobia in many cases is due
to nothing more than sedentary exis.
ton and is frequently seen in unmar-
ried persons who are too much alone
and who have no absorbing hobby.
"The dying are as little conscious of
the transition from life to death as the
weary are conscious of going to sleep.
Many persons have awaited with full
consciousness the moment of dissolu-
ton and have been aware of it in ad-
vance, yet they fell asleep for the last
time smilingly and without fear. Ill
ness may be painful, but it's cessation
never"
Maurice Maeterlinck, the great Bel
gian, has said the same even more
beautifully.

"WHoM THE GODS LOVE"

Henry Watterson in Courier Journal
There was once pagan proverb
which ran whom the gods love die
young" 1t meant that those who were
spared old age were fortunate. 1t has
been misinterpreted by moderns and
corrupted into the meaningless "the
good die young"
Nowadays age often escapes many
OF the ills to which 1t was heir in an
Gent times. The-old-in-years are not
necessarily old in mind and body. Wo-
men do not Wdther in their youth from
grinding labor and collaborating and
become crones at 35 or 40. Men some
times reach four-score in possession of
good health and their normal faculties,
and enjoy life as much as younger
men. Such a man was the late JUS
tiee Harlan. Many others might be
mentioned, some of them now living,
and some of them remembered as hav-
ing had the good fortune to be hale to
the last, passing quickly from active
participation in affairs through nature
to eternity" There are still others
whose hearts are Of such heroic mold
that their youth can not be quenched
or their spirits depressed by suffering.
Such man was Mark Twain, who
TESTED about his Parthian shafts of
pain when they racked him most sc
yerely, and who remained in touch
with the world, and the companion of
younger men until the last. Age is not
measured relentlessly by the calendar.
Some men are old at so. Others are
young at 80. None with whom time
deals kindly need ever feel
Like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fed, whose garlands
dead,
And all but he departed"
Despite DR.. Osler's chloroform the
DRY, a mans as young as he feels, and
he need not fail to make new friends
because he regrets those who "falrlike
the leaves in wintry weather"

the tariff treatment would have been
instantly applied; gradually increas-

and New Bedford would have taxed
the whole country to support her d.
minishing trade. Fortunately for the
stricken town the use of the tariff
weapon was not possible. For very
brief period New Bedford sat down to
grieve over her ruined fortunes. Then
she picked herself up, and established
a group of manufactures which have
immensely increased her wealth and
which are indefinitely multiplying her

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER.
Sheboygan Press:

TIE NEWSPAPER REPOhTER
Sheboygan Press:
The history of secrecy makes long
black smudge down the page Of time.
Nothing is truer than the saying
that "the wicked love darkness rather
than light" and this proverb has a
bearing we usually do not suspect.
We assume it to have reference to
robbers, footpads, sneak thieves, mutt
nous seamen and homebreakers. It
does. 1t also refers, however, to any
other group of people who work in the
shade.
You can set it down in your books
that any public business for which the
claim is made that it Is better to trans
act it under cover; that it is unwise to
have it investigated, and that the pub
lie has no right to NEEDLE in it, is
crooked.
The whole history of government be-
fore the day of newspapers, is record
of tyranny and unjust privilege. So
long as the common herd was ruled by
a select few who presumed to do bet.
ter by the people than the people could
DO for themselves, the result was lux
ury and fine feathers for the elect and
starvation and rags for the many.
The story of the old world, Of China,
ancient Japan, Egypt, Greece and Rome
is the story of secrecy and outrage.
Whenever you find secret councils
of kinds, diplomats whispering behind
their hands, senators gumshoeing round
and trust magnates mumbling in a
back room you may be sure that the
public Is about to be looted.
The petty criminal is afraid of the
policeman. The, big criminal is afraid
of the reporter.
The man who cracks the belated cit
izen over the head with lead pipe
fears the law. The man who sandbags
the whole community and steals $780,
100000 by manipulating railway,
public utility or the packing industry
does not fear the law. He hires the
law The thing he fears is the light,
public opinion; and the man who works
the spot light is the newspaper report
er.
Naturally, publicity is often over
done. Newspapers now and then de-
scend to the level of vicious gossips,
but not often enough to Offset the i'm
mense advantages of their own utter
ances.
There never was bribe-taking Judge
ousted from the bench, a corrupt poll
tician retired to private life, govern
or or mayor who sold out to corpora
tons and was exposed that did not
hate newspaper reporters above rat
tlesnakes.
This is not government by law;
law does not govern, it is merely the
rear guard of government. 1t is gov.
eminent by publicity. 1t is newspapers
and magazines, the publishing of facts,
that govern.

The American Cross of Honor

+" HAT boy In the land but has
read numberless tales of the
NA famous Victoria Cross of Eng
:" land awarded to soldiers and
sailors for conspicuous personal BRAY
cry under fire7 And how one fairly
reyels in glowing tales of British
soldier crawling out from the line of
skirmish to bring back a comrade
who had fallen. wounded, in the pre-
vious desperate charge?
Well, right here in our own land
we have similar decoration for
bravery. Unfortunately, its existence
Is known to but comparatively few.
1t Is not as picturesque, perhaps, as
the famous English order, for 1t does
not conflne its awards to men who
perform brave deeds under fire. Never
theless, the men-and women, too
who wear its insignia are proud of
the honor, and justly SO. too.
The first of Its kind in the United
States, 1t appropriately has its head
quarters in Washington, D. c., and
Furthermore. has received the official
sanction of Uncle Sam. 1t Is but
fourteen years old. and SO far has
given its gold badge of courage only
to certain people who had already
been awarded one of the Life Saving
Medals of the United States Gov
ernment. Less than a thousand of
these latter medals have been given by
Uncle Sam and out of this number
only fifteen people have been honored
with the American Cross of Honor.
So. 1t Is readily seen. the order is in
deed an exclusive one.
Every year the Society awards

songs resound from rocky crags or
the smoke of their camp-f1r float
heavenward in tiny columns Every
where was a tense silence.
Step by step, the bravest of the
Schaghtigokes ventured further and
further up the mountain, pushing
cautiously through the dense under
growth and lodging from tree to tree
and bush to bush. But still they saw
nothing of their enemy.
It was weird. 1t was uncanny.
What had become of them? They
must have vanished into thin air. for
they could not possibly have escaped
through the tightly drawn lines of at
tacking redskins.
The wisemen of the tribe called a
council of war to consider the strange
problem. They were helpless to ex-
plain it. but decided that the entire
mountain must be explored. The
Abandominines were known to be un-
der the protection of a great Manitou,
or Guardian Spirit, who in times past
had often worked magic medicine"
for them.
He may have spirited them away in
SO1le ldSnlOn, luc lHulauS TedSOneQ,
but 1t must be definitely ascertained
that they had escaped before the at
tackers looked for them elsewhere.
SO, the following day. one of their
best and bravest of scouts set forth
to climb to the top of the mountain
and solve the mystery. With infinite
caution, so as not to disturb a single
i leaf OF so much as break twig, he
made his way up the mountain, look
ing ever to all sides of him for the
enemy.
When he had climbed about mid
way the mountain he stopped sudden
ly and gazed before him at a huge
rock jutting out from the mountain
side. For there, In all the glory Of
his war-paint and feathers, stood the
chief of the Abandominines.
Silently. the grim scout fitted an
arrow to his bow and let it fly; and
