II the world gets from you today
the best you have to give you may rest
assured it will pay you back in your
own coin tomorrow, and with interest.
On the other hand, If you seek revenge
the same law holds good, for In ''tak-
ing revenge" you are but even with
your enemy, but in passing over an in
jury you are superior. Such thoughts
as getting even" If cherished, swell
and overflow the entire being, leaving
in their wake psychic malaria. He
who never forgets friend and always
forgives a foe is making no mistake.
That Is the way the soul grows. That

eous knocking and kicking.
This great Republic of ours would
still be under the rule of Britain If our
hard-fisted, big-footed ancestors had
not first knocked the British minions
on the head and then kicked them out
Of, the country. If they had boosted
British rule and British tyranny there
would never have been any United
States.
II the abolitionists of more modern
times had boosted all the institutions
of the country instead of knocking the
hideous Slave God on the jawbone and
kicking him in the midriff in season
and out Of season, while great ma
jority of the citizens of the land point
ed the finger of scorn at them hissed
knockers, Knockers" the crack Of the
slave whip would resound in the land
today and the Southern swamps would
echo and re-echo with the bay of the
blood hounds on the trail of men and
women fleeing for life and liberty
The mighty host Of blue coats that
swept Southwark like an angry sea
half a century ago was a great, God
ordained knock against a hell-inspired
system that was eating out the life OF
the Nation.
There never was reform, in any
line of life, that made the world purer
better and happier but began by knock
ing at evil conditions, and there never
was a reform secured but by KICKING
the life out Of some existent evil.
II there is a wrong of any kind ex
listing in community and a man does
not knock that wrong, he is a man
only In shape and not in spirit; If an
evil exists and he does not kick the
evil he is only an imitation of a man
Injustice cannot be wiped out and the
wrongs righted by boosting. It re-
quires knocking and kicking; any
lump Of flesh can boost but It takes q
man OF nerve and spirit to knock and
kick.
The true rule of life is to boos,
everything good and knock and kich
everything bad and detrimental to pub
lie welfare. So here's to the "knock
ers and kickers," they are the salt q,

The Maine Political Pointer.

OF the several states which used to choose
governors and congressman ahead of the regu-
lar November election day, and for that reason
we're looked to as pointing the political wind
Maine is the only remaining. Maine this
safe plurality, but distinct minority of the to-
tai, just enough of the majority of the votes be-
ing side-tracked from the republican TO the pro-
gressive to let him win handiy At the same
time the four sitting congressman have been
reelected. only one Of them a democrat, the
rest republicans.
The political weather forecasters all over the
country are manifesting no disposition to ac-
cept the Maine election as a safe basis of cal
cuIaton. Conditions generally are too unbal-
anced. both political as well as industrial. What
the Maine election Is that found In the New
York Journal of Commerce, normally an organ
of business and not at all of politics, which
says:
There Is little doubt that the Wilson administration
has strengthened the democratic party, but It has
hardly made II the majority party OF the country.
may draw some OF the progressive vote OF 1912. but
much more is likely to drift back the republican
lines There may be enough left in support OF indie
pendent tickets to the scale way other,
but which way no man tell at this early stage
of the campaign. One effect of the movement has
been to give a more less progressive impulse to
both into factions There will probably an I'M
usual amount Of independent voting states,
apart from the separate third party vote.
In nutshell, II will be hard for anybody
outside of Maine to get any particular comfort
out of the Maine election.

Still After Freight Rate Increase.

Not content with the substantial victory
won in the ruling of the Interstate Commerce
commission on their petition for 5 per cent
freight rate increase, 112 railroad companies,
comprising thirty-fve railway systems operat-
ing in the territory affected, have come back
for further modification to accord with their
original demands. There is no doubt the rail-
roads have been encouraged in this procedure
by the knowledge that the commission was di-
vided over the merits of their showing, and that
its decision rendered by a majority with
a vigorous dissent from the minority.
The present plea Of the railroads Ia that the
advances authorized are not sufficient to make
up the needed increase in tariff revenues, and
they evidently believe that they can furnish
convincing proof OF their statement But the
order giving the partial increase was only rem
dered as OF date July 20, 1914, or but little
more than six weeks ago, and how the expert
of this short time warrant conclu-
sion to results is far from plain, particularly
in view of the general disturbance of trade
which makes the exhibit Of railroad earnings as
abnormal as those Of other business lines Still
another factor TO be considered is the increase
of railway mail pay now In prospect, and the
further pending applications for intrastate
increases before various state commissions
Taken altogether, it seems to us that in ask
ing a reopening OF their thus early, the
railroads, are to use colloqual phrase, trying
to rush things, as II fearing a more deliberate
experiment might lose to them the force OF the
temporary argument.

Occasions and Causes.

The surface occasions and preteXts for war
are seldom identical with the bed rock causes.
our great war between the states was pre-
cipitated by the attempt at secession, but the
cause, as every knows. negro slavery.
The war with Spain was set ablaze by the eX-
plosion Of the Maine, but the cause was the mis-
rule and oppression Of Cuba by the mother
country.
our recent seizure Of Vera Cruz was predi-
Gated on the failure to comply Internationally
with the demand for salute of the Stars and
Stripes the cause was the usurpation and abuse
Of power by Huerta.
The occasion OF the present European con-
fct is ostensibly the assassination Of the crown
prince Of Austria and his consort, but the cause
lies in race rivalries and commercial jealousies
bolstered up by lfe-sapping militarism
When the Spanish war ended we forgot all
about the Maine, and our troops are now to be
Withdrawn from Vera Cruz without waiting for
the salute. Likewise It is a safe guess that the
peace treaty concluding the pending conflict
will not mention the maodorous murder of the
princely pair.
