Our Enemies.
az OR. FRANK CRANE
tCopyrighy 1916. by FrsGk crane)

Life is fight. We have our enemies.
And 1t is battle without quarter.
But our enemies are not men, not
foreign nations. The people of any two
countries are never hostile toward each
other. except as they are influenced by
fallacious passions, the heritage OF
ignorances.
The human race is singularly stupid
when its units fight one another. All
men should unite to contend with our
common foes.
Who are our enemies? Here are some:
!. Insects. DR.. Woods Hutchinson said
the other day. in an address before the
American Academy Of Medicine:
The real enemy of the pioneer, the
chief obstacle to the spread OF civili-
cation, is not Indians, or wolves, or
rattlesnakes. or even famine or flood,
or winter cold or tropic heat, but
insects. Most schemes Of coloniza-
ton that failed, failed not from
famine or the attack of enemies, but
through disease. And more than
half of them from one disease
malaria. This is not merely the age
Of man, but the age of insects. geo.
to the death between them for the
possession of the earth.
In the tropics the insects get the
whip hand Of man and keep him
stupid. short lived, uncivilized It
was the plague of flies, the bloody
tyranny Of insects. that drove man
out Of the warm, comfortable, fertile
tropics into the chilly, rain-swept,
Neutrality-suspicious. north. Now,
grown to full human stature, he is
coming back to invade and recon-
quer the tropics and put to flight the
ancient foes Of the race.
2. The Ghost of the Past; dead ideas
and lifeless old beliefs: they have no
vitality, yet we cling to them just the
same" These enthrall our effort toward
free expression; they vitiate our energy;
they twist our minds.
3. All forms Of special and unearned
privilege. The sound principle here IL
that man should get what he earns: no
more. no less. This involves the. limita.
ton Of privately owned wealth, the limi.
tation Of inheritance, putting our system
Of taxation upon rational and scientific
basis, and establishing money upon the
WHoic WcdItu VI VIC PCoPiS HuctSou VA
upon gold only.
a. Impure foods, habit forming drugs,
and all that decreases or destroys human
vitality.
5. False ideas, that deprave mems
minds: ideas of fear, hate. violence,
revenge, sex-morbidity, egotism, and the
like.
Come, let us cease fighting one an
other, and league together to combat the
common destroyers of mankind.

From Another Point of VielU
BY G. T. s.

Have you ever parked your car out at
Navin field and proceeded thence by
foot from down town to the ball game!
Allied soldiers who flee from the
trenches are to be shot. The same pen
atty is faced, too, by those who do not
flee.
President Lowell, Of Harvard, says a
man is at his zenith, mentally and physi-
cally at 3d. Maybe this accounts for
the fact that at this age Clarence is so
often found still eating on the old folks.
The Christian Endeavors discussed the
question will John d. Rockefeller get
into heaven?" Fortunately it has not
been left to Mr.. Walsh to answer.
Argentina is $525, OO0, 900 in debt II
looks from here as if Argentina might
have to arrange to pay little every Sat-
urday.
Father and son have just left school
together in Cleveland. We know Of q
father and son who WENT to school to-
gether and recall that the father said, at
the schoolroom door: Here he is; do
what you like with him."
