IFE means action, from the
cradle to the funeral pile.
The situation into which
we are born and our mental ana
phvsical equipments at birth are
the result of past actions IN
other lives, and all our actions
while here are forming conditions
for lives to come.
There are limitless possiblli-
ties in this life to overcome, what
ever conditions hamper or annoy
US, and to bring into realization
whatever hopes or aspirations
lure us.
We have not begun to sound
the depths in our minds.
The most brilliant, the most
studious, the most reverent, the
most persistent, have only SAILED
about the shores of this great
ocean; they have not even mag
med what deep waters lie beyond,
and what rare pearls lie under
those deep waters.
But we have shining examples
of individuals who have achieved
so much under such discouraging
conditions that their lives De-
come an inspiration to all who
mediate upon them.
Lincoln, born in poverty, reared
in the same hard school, sur
rounded by the commonplace and
the undesirable, and deprived OF
all opportunities for advance
ment, made himself a colossal
figure In the eyes of centuries to
come through high thinking,
clean living and the persistent
cultivation of the old immortal
virtues of honesty, truth, cour-
age and unselfishness and devo-
ton to those duties which stood
nearest.
All his thoughts, all his ambi-
tons, all his actions, from child
hood to maturity, were directed
toward the attainment of those
virtues and their practical appli-
cation to every issue which lie
presented. Unconsciously to him
self. he was treading the path to
immortal fame; he was building
character which would invite ire
mendous responsibilities, and
creating the strength to meet
them grandly.
He knew what life meant.
It meant action, and achieve
ment through growth.
There is no such thing as mac
ton during this life.
We are continually going for
ward or backward.
You are either stronger or
weaker this year than you were
last year,
You are Drawer or more cow
ardly.
You are more hopeful or more
pessimistic.
You are more capable mentally
or less so.
You have better or poorer COM
mand Of your forces.

LANCE pitched and won the first
game for the Buns. Watson lost the
second before Fisk could be sent to
the rescue.
And this Fisk fellow is beginning to
look like a real find. He has more
balance and steadiness than any of
the youngsters on the Bun staff,
pitches with discretion and works on
the batters.
LANCE is a good man as long as
things come his way. But he has not
the experience and reserve power to
rally when his mates are kicking the
ball. Two hits were registered on him

Underwood at the White House yester-
day. President Wilson fixed upon the
administrations legislative program for
the remainder of the present session Of
Congress. Both he and Mr.. Underwood
are confident that unless the Mexican
situation mOnopolizes the attention OF
Congress too greatly. adjournment will

The program consists OF the following
measures:
The Clayton bill supplementing the
Sherman antitrust law.
The Covington bill for a trade commits
sion.
\ bill not yet introduced. regulating the
issue OF stocks and bonds.
Rural credits bill
The regular appropriation measures.
The President decided that the ad-
ministration would not insist upon the
enactment of a Presidential primary
law. was recommended by President
Wilson in his annual message to Con-
Gress. The reasons assigned for his
decision are various, one being the
necessary absence Of Chairman Ruck-
er. of the House Committee on Elec-
ton OF President and Vice President.
An important consideration in the
minds Of the President and the ma
jority leader was the necessity that
the Democratic Congressional candi-
dates be given sufficient time in the
interval between adjournment and the
November elections to make a thor
