EVERY WORD A DIAMOND FROM THE
LIPS OF THE PATHFINDER.

you may take it from US that
neither this world nor this country
is going to the dogs. There are
conditions which need remedying,
and they will be gradually reme-
died Progress cannot be forced
to any great extent. The only peo-
pie who think that everything can
be reformed all at once. by adpot-
ing their nostrum. are the ones
who have no adequate conception
of the difficulties involved. You
know how hard it is to reform your
own self or to secure ideal condi-
tious in your own family. Consid-
.er then huW infinitely harder it is
to reform city. or state. or a
country, or a whole world. A CIV
en- rPformer might be able to make
things over and to better them if
the whole power were placed in his
hands. He might possibly improve
upon the plans of the Almighty,
but as a matter of fact mankind
are not going to put themselves in
the hands Of that reformer; many
men are of many minds, and it is
practically impossible to get socie-
ty to coincide oD any radical
change. The world is improving
and it Is alright, Millennial
conditions are still infinitely far off
and practical people do not look for
them. Mans progress onward and
upward is long and slow; every ad-
vance has to be won by him, as the
result of patience and self mastery:
perfection cannot be put on ready
made like a suit of hand-me down
clothes; it is a growth. More
work and less talk is what the
country now needs: There are
good times ahead. Prosperity is in
store for US and it will come just
as fast as We earn it. People all
over the world are doing a lot of
hard thinking, and plain living,
and this is going to bear fruit
Things will settle down before
long: the war will soon be over and
the present chaos in business and
politics will be reduced to order
Then there will be long period of
prosperity and progress. The
world is now in transition state;
it is moving forward to new posi-
tions and we must expect some con-
fusion. The process cannot be ar
bitrarily hurried; we must have
patience But, accept our assur-
ance that things will come out
right; keep your eye on the long
distance goal, and don't be divert
ed by ''spielers' and barker"
who seek to draw you off.

FOR RUMAMTY'S SAKE.

If this country really means to
stress humanitarianism. let US de-
cline to fight under any circum-

red d-handed. for war no matter what

Under the moral law Thou

Grinnell, Sept. 14.-Stragglers have
been coming in for the past two OF
three days to get ready for the college
opening. The grand rush comes today
and the little, inadequate union depot

to get any adequate idea of what a
step in advance this new departure is

Ames, Sept. IA new years work
has started at Iowa State College with
an enrolment that passes the mark
on opening days in any previous year.
Although Registrar Herman Knapp ex-
pressed the belief some days ago that
crop and war conditions were likely to
keep many prospective students at
home, the freshman class at Ames is
now larger by IT, than 1t has been be-
fore at this time OF the college year.
Already 1850 new students are on the
campus, as against total enrolment
of 1865 freshmen for both semesters
last year.
Besides this gain there is large in
crease in the number of former stu
dents returning The enrolment in the
upper classes is also certain to be the
largest in the history of the institution.
