OH NEVER BE SAD

Oh never be sad the world don't care
For the story OF Borrowing hearts,
1t opens its ears only to those
Who some joyous tale imparts.
oh never sit grieving DER vanished
years,
Or thinking of what might have been,
The worth of the past is the strength
1t gives,
To the future with chances to win.
Don't worry for fear the coming
years,
Will still hide the pearl you seek,
But think of the toiler who plants
and works,
Fer he can the harvest reap.
Look well to the future with bright.
ness and joy,
The boon that is coming your way,
No mortal e'er yet in quest OF grief
went,
Who found none Ill venture to say
The future has all that the past
can boast,
Its prospects are many and rare,
So every day that's dealt out to you,
Pray live 1t with judgment and care.
We know not how soon the curtain
may fall.
And our part in life's play be done.
But certain is Joy II our hands have
filled
The cup OF sorrow for none.

ABANDONING THE
PHILIPPINES

From the international standpoint,
the Philippines are as much q part
OF the territory of the United States
as India Ia a part of the British EN-
pire. 1t would, perhaps, be easier to
organize a safe and responsible IN.
dependent government in India than
in the Philippines. Few sensible
people in this country regard our
continued presence in the Philippines
from the standpoint of what Bryan
and the Democratic platform call
imperialism. We are engaged
there in great work OF education.

rection, good policing, and honest
taxation. Foreign interests have i'm

commerce in the Islands. and these

many Republican leaders believe
that the Democrats have created a
situation that makes our remaining
at Manila practically impossible, and
that we must therefore withdraw as
soon as we can honorably do so. But
II is plain that the Democrats must
accept responsibility for the conse-
Quences. AS for Imperialism, the
worst form of it is involved In the
doctrine OF the last Democratic plat
form, which demands that We must
uOandon all our good work for the
welfare OF the Filipino people. but
must appropriate and keep for our
selves certain desirable coaling sta.

OBSCURITY IN
WRITING

Peop'e who read novels have fol
lowed with interest the notices OF
the death of Henry James. His lit
erary work Is remarkable illustra'
ton OF one who might have attained
q very wide influence, but failed to
do so. This failure is due to certain
defects of style, of which great
many writer's are guilty, and which
interfere with success in great
many careers.
Henry James had marvellous gifts
for interpreting human nature. and
charming graces of description. But
he buried these gifts in an involved
and obscure style. So his works are
collecting dust on the back shelves
of the Libraries. He never cared for
that. He was anxious only to ap.
peal 20 certain ultra refined tastes,
and Indifferent to the common run
OF mankind Yet when an author
has such gifts they seem lost when
not put to their widest use.
Some people who make pretences 70.
ward discrimination In taste. seem
TO think that when writer Is oh.
scure, he must be great. More often
he is too indolent to think his sub
ject out to a conclusion, and get it
into lucid form.
An old Roman rhetorican laid down
this principle Write not so that
people may understand, but SO that
they must understand. =" A book,
newspaper article, magazine re-
view. that fails to pass that test is
fundamentally defective. 1t is not
enough that writer give his read
ers fltful and hazy glimpses of his
subject. The English language of
meaning. If man has any grasp at
all Of an idea, he should think It out
until he can define it clearly and
lucidly.
Public speakers often do not apply
this principle. Many ministers fail
because they preach over peoples
heads. They don't realize that In
giving an address, there must be
double effort for lucidity. II a writ
er is not clear, the reader can at
least try the sentence over again. If
a speaker is involved and tortuous,
the nearer loses the thread and then
goes to sleep.

MORTGAGES SHOW
FARM PROSPERITY

People are discovering that the
FARMER carrying a mortgage Is gen
orally the prosperous one, while the
man without a mortgage Is apt not
to be prosperous" says Judson C.
Welliver in Farm and Fireside.
THE most prosperous farming states
are those with the most mortgage
debt; the least prosperous farming
States have the smallest mortgage
burdens.
Congressman IIelvering of Kan
sas in q speech recently made this
very plain. From census figures he
showed that the four Southern
States OF Georgia, Alabama, Louisi-
aua. and Mississippi have total Of
only s43,000,0OO Of farm mortgages;
Wisconsin alone has many times
that amount. Yet Wisconsin is an
ideally prosperous farming State.
"These four Southern States have
an average OF three tenant farmers
to two proprietor farmers, while in
Wisconsin there are six proprietors
to one tenant.
tits the same all through. The
best agricultural states have the
most mortgages and the most propri-
etor farmers; the poorest states have
fewest mortgages and fewest prop
rietor farmers. The mortgage is the
poor mans stepping stone to owner.

SUBSTITUTES FOR
PLATINUM

The European war has not only
stimulated many industries in Ameri-
ca, It has encouraged experimental
tion in scientific processes having a
commercial bearing. A notable re-
suit of this research Is the discovery
of substitutes for platinum in its
softer forms. 1t is announced that
gold and silver alloys of palladium
are suitable for use in dental work,
while It may be inferred that II the
appearance of the new combination
bears any resemblance to that OF the
more costly metal 1t will not only re-
duce present prices, but have per-
manent effect upon the platinum mar
ket.
California has three counties Butte,
Del Norte and Trinity, in which pat
mum is found, but our deposits are
not developed to such nm extent that
we would suffer seriously by reduc.

ways be temptation enough for the
production of a metal which has
steadily and consistently risen in val
ue ever since its discovery about the
middle OF the eighteenth century in
South America.
From 1874 prices advanced from a
little over So an ounce to s25 in 1908
to $40 at the beginning Of the wa,
and they are now around 800. The
reason for this latter jump is that
