THE HUMAN EARTHQUAKE.

Horrible as is the Italian earthquakeso stunning as
even to overshadow the horrors OF world Wars it has
its recompense in suddenly awang strong and tender
spirit of human brotherhood throughout the world as
the shifting of a rock may release flowing spring Of
sweet and living water
Ptfu as is the condition in shattered Belgium, it, too
has its ecompense in the glorious outbst of sympathy
and helpfuness to which every heart responds.
Shameful is the extent Of unemployment in all our
cities that also has its recompense in its appeal to the
best that is in us in universal response in feeling and
in thought and in the eageness with which the who
is up extends his hand to lift his brother who is down
The winter Of 1914-15 will perhaps be the darkest in
all history for horror and suffering But it also bids fair
to be the brightest in history in the sympathy awakened
the hepfuness given the sacrifices made the money
trbuted and the serious vre thought devoted to the bet
terment Of humanity.
There are pessimsts in plenty bitterly contending that
cruel greed and blind selfshness the dominant traits
of the human race 1t may sometimes seem to be true in
the dull everyday grind
But the lmeight Of a great catastrophe iumnin9
the heart deeps of man. discOses the lie and reveals soul
rooted qualities that are little short Of gOdike-the
strong deep human forces Of love and faith and hope that
have brought us up from savagery to some orderly sys
TEN and will ever sustain us and steadily lift higher
When the master hand of fate strikes the strong deep
chords within us the petty cnk Of coins is sfed as the
cry Of the bird is lost in the roar OF the storm
In this convusion Of human nature treasures that lie
far deeper than the pocket break to the surface
The billionare contributing his hundreds Of thousands
and the poor child giving her penny have hearts the same
to hear the wall Of need and souls the same to respond
There are mighty, glorious passions in the human
heart which when aroused make greed give gladly ana
selfishness delight in sacrifice.
In the presence Of horror before which human pow
er and learning are helpless human love and hepfuness
loom up the potent abiding, conquerabe forces of
earth
More precious than all wealth. which is so easily de-
stroyed better than all wisdom which is easily con-
founded dearer to mankind than all the food and cloth
ing and shelter to the suffering, is human sympathy
which disaster only strengthens and despair only sweet
ems and which is sweeping across the earth like host
of angels out Of heaven.

SIDE LIGHTS ON
The LEGISLATURE
4 & Z 4 !. 3 \ !: \ y Z M !

During the rush in the state printing
office, due TO the demand for printed
bills, the last section Of House Bill
was attached to the title section Of
House Bill 81 and considerable con
fusion was the consequence. This
little mistake, which might happen in
any well-regulated business of the
magnitude of the state printing plant,
during the legislative session, would
probably have passed unnoticed were
it not that H. B. 81 is the horticultural
commissioner bill and II. b. is the
prohibition measure. Also the at
tachment of the neither end of the
prohi bill to the front section of the
fruit bill fight be excusable from the
printers point of view, inasmuch as,
under the prohibition amendment to
the constitution "John Barleyeorn'
will be duly labelled "forbidden
fruit" after January 1, 1916.
