MODERN COURAGE

Has the alienation of pain and
more comfortable living of the pres
emit age made people soft, as so many
assert?
Small pains are not borne as easily
as formerly. A previous generation
thought little of having teeth out,
without an a~nesthetic. The story is
told of an old timer, who having a
o r foot that bothered him, went out
to the barn one day and chopped one
toe off with a Ratchet.
Nowadays most people take gas and
ether to have teeth out, and dread the
commonplace experience of having
teeth filled.
The superb courage shown in the
European wal suggests that when ii
ome to q pinch, human nature is
much as it was in the heroic days of
chiyalry. The soldiers march on, line
after line, to organized death. The
bravery of American soldier boys un-
der the murderous fire of shippers at
Vera Cruz told the same story. There
is to-day a growing s~ensitiveness to
pain and alarm at danger. But also
in a refined age there is a keener
sense of shame and fear of ridicule.
Perhaps life does not look good to the
soldier, if he must gain it only by
wearing the pale badge of cowardice.

CONCERNING BIRTHDAYS

President Wilson celebrated his 58th
birthday Monday. Congressman and
, other officials called. There were tel
egrams and letters. 1t was a public
occasion, interesting many people.
} In private life birthdays are more
intimate and secluded affairs The
lyoung and the old have jolly parties.
But in middle life there is an atmos-
lphere of coincidence and effort at
lcheerful philosophy.
The refusal of women to give their
; age to the census taker is a periodi-
zeal joke, due for publication again
in the next national count of 1920.
Many women will leave untitled the
blanks for their age in legal docu-
|ments, taking the risk of invalidat-
ing the paper.
This feeling is manifest in a thou
sand ways, and is often carried be-
gond the grave. Every newspaper
reporter recalls cases where the re-
natives would not tell the age of the
deceased, out of respect to the keen
ness of her regret at the growing
years.
Fhe obituary reporter recognizes that
any woman's age is an interesting
news item to her acquaintance. Be-
ing human, he usually suppresses UNI
pleasant facts when asked.
Men are less sensitive about their
age, but often have some reluctance
to having it known. You lever throw
out hints to find out what birthday
your neighbor is celebrating. In
some towns lists of taxpayers or
votere give ages, and answer all such
Queries. Such lists are read with
much attention, particularly by the
animated element of women. If pub
lIc men entertain any sensitiveness
about birthdays, they never show it.
Their age is public property, and they
learn to get over the minor human
weaknesses.
So when a president has a birthday,
he no doubt sees it in the true light.
1T is not an occasion for regret, for
stny person who has lived worthily.
Rather it is a time for joy, for perils
escaped, results achieved.

YOUR KIDNEYS
~Pleasantville Residents Must Learn
The Importance of Keeping

Perfect health means that every or.

functions properly.
Perfect health cannot be enjoyed if
the kidneys r weak and d~isordered.

weak kidneys.
What this remedy has done in so
many cases of this kind is the best
proof of its merit.
Read the following. It's testimony
gratefully given by a resident of this
locality:
Mrs. NJ. Kelly, 1886 Fairmont Ave,
Atlantic City, N. j., says: 81 used
Doan's Kidney Pills when suffering

E YEARS DoINGs

All kinds of -temperaments reveal
themselves ON New Years Eve.
Serious minded persons gather at
watch night services. A solemn
thrill of anticipation fills the air.
There is a sense of the vast issues of
life, its infinite meaning, its generous
possibilities, and of the illimitable
path into the shadow toward which
the tolling bell moves US one step
nearer. 1t is an hour of earnest
spiritual emotion, and one that may
be stimulation.
For others it is an hour of revelry.
In large cities regiments of horn
blowers split the air. Fantastic
tricks are played on innocent looking
people. The police would better keep
out of harms way Another force
rules the town.
To properly celebrate the emotions
of the dying year, al a~ristocratic
brand of champagne is felt to be nee
essary. Thereby you "a convince
your friends that you have made no
good resolutions and are not going to.
You give the New Year a roistering
slap on the shoulder, and kick measly
old 1914 down the back stairs. A
bromo settler may make you feel bet
ter the next day.
Everywhere the dance orchestras
are twanging and tingling. Compar-
ed with street buffonery, the one-step
and fox trot seem quite polite and
parlor-like. If you go home promptly
at midnight, you ought not to have
a headache next day. Perhaps the
yoa g folks would quit then, if they
felt it was late enough to be a little
improper.
Meanwhile the large majority of
our countrymen go to bed December
81 at 10 p. M, and are up at six
o'clock as usual. All nights look
alike to them. The grind of life has
left them chemically weary, they may
not be sensitive to either sentimental
or spiritual impressions, and there is
no kink left in their heels. 1t is a
mental attitude that grows with age,
but often comes on younger than is
really necessary.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-01-16
TAKING THE RIGHT COURSE

The Scandinavian nations are doing
wisely in arranging for an alliance to
preserve their independence. This
war conclusively shows that the day
of small nations is about over unless
they combine for mutual defense.
Standing alone they are helpless
against any powerful and aggressive
neighbor. Courage and determine
ton they may have in abundance, but
alone they are not sufficient against
overwhelming numbers and well-nigh
ilhmitable resources.
In many respects Scandinavia en-
joys advantages for defense superior
to those of most small nations. The
extent of her territory, except as
to Denmark, her climate and topog-
raphy are all in her favor. AS to
the bravery of her soldiers there is
no question, the pages of history are
replete with the record of their deeds.
Then, toe the intelligence and endur-
ance of her peoples are proverbial.
All these factors would make Scandi-
navia a most formidable opponent
even if the total of it's population is
comparatively small.
An alliance for mutual protection
ought to be an easy thing for these
nations, for they are the same in
race and religion, in industry and in
teiligence, and very nearly SO in Ian
guage. Every believer in liberty and
In the right of small nations to ex-
lst and retain their independence will
hope for the federation of the Scandi-
navian peoples. The recent meeting
OF the three Scandinavian monarchs,
marked as t was by such confidence
and cordiality, augurs well for the fu-
ture.

HELD OF INVESTIGATION.

Considerable literature of the pres
ent day is the direct product of brains
working under the influence of spirits
and drugs" says DIR, T. d. Crothers,
writing in the Lancet and Clinic.
Study of the effects of alcohol and
othei' narcotics upon the brain, he tells
us, reveals the fact that books and
articles written under the influence of
spirituous liquors have certain marked
characteristics; written under the in.
huence of beer they show certain 9th.
er p~eeuliarities; written under the in
1uence of cocaine they have still an
other distinctive literary style. THE
writer who depends upon alcohol for
inspiration" says the doctor, "uncon-
sciously writes down the evidence of
the spirits he is using and their sin
gular influence on his brain"
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-01-16
WITH PRIVATE WAR

The end of the War of the Roses
saw the extinction of private war in
England, but in this country it seems
to flourish. Whenever there is some
dispute in the mining regions or in
steel plants and elsewhere, the en-
ployers have no hesitation in hiring
men and making war on their former
employees. Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Colorado, Michigan and other
states have witnessed such proceed
ings which have almost invariably re-
suited in heavy loss of life.
To be sure, the mine owners and
other employers have said that they
were forced to it by the riotous ac-
ton of the men. In a measure that
was true in some instances, but prob
ably in every dispute that has oc-
Cured, matters could have been ami
cably settled if the owners had been
willing to meet the men on fair terms.
But this they have not done as a
rule. Take, for instance. the ~recogni-
ton of mems organizations. The en-
ployers have organized and have act
ed through bheir organizations in la
Dor troubles, and those organizations
have been recognized by labor in the
pOSOOidUtOllS DGLWeGu C16 us
putants, but generally the employers
have declined to recognize the unions
of the men.
We are not disposed to deal with
the reasons for this refusal, but to
point out that as a matter of principle
and as American citizens, workmen
have the same right as employers to
organize and to demand that their or
g%anization be recognized, ever as that
of the employers is recognized. To
deny that is to deny equality before
the law.
1t is well to emphasize that fact be-
cause the refusal to recognize, as
seen today in Colorado, has been the
chief cause in most instances, of riot
Gus action by strikers and which ac-
ton has been the pretext for the levy
ing of private war by owners 1t is
the duty of every state and of the ma
ton to prohibit private war and to
punish to the utmost all who resort
to it. We r not living in the Mid
die Ages.

is not only not worth while, but it is
not safe.
