Is the World Growing Better ?

To the Editor of The News:
 Is the world growing better or not |? In some ways we are progressing. We are learning and gaining all the time. We are the people, in this land of free. dom and equal chances and we do not intend to let the people of any other country surpass us in progress and i'm provement. Get there Eli, or you will lose your jCb That is our slogan. Onward and onward; still faster all the time, trying to out do the other fellow, but are trying to make this better, happier world to live in. Man is striv. ing to make finer houses to live in, finer cars and vehicles to travel in, finer ships to carry us across the blue ocean, finer yachts, autos, areoplanes-every- thing must glitter and shine. The numbering old travellng coaches of fifty years ago are not to be compared to our luxurious, sleeping and parlor cars of the present time. And we are growing smart; yes we are, by gum and we know how to get the most out of life, for we have five CT six blades of grass growing where only one grew 90 years ago; beautiful parks and pleasure grounds, streets and driveways; for we must be stylish as we'll as progressive i'll the art of acquiring the big dollars. And we are making money now and we know how to spend it in this year of 1916, and if you don't believe it just consider how they are spending it across the big pond.
 But are we making the people of the world any better or happier? do not think 80, and do not believe that the Creator of this glorious world will ap. prove of mans way of accommodating grandeur and wealth. The farmers and laborers of the world. that feed us all, are using up their lives and health, as well as their pleasures of life, so the big fellows can live in luxury and ease.
 They say man improves the beauties of nature, but do not agree with this saying. If we would see the most beautiful spot in the world, we must see a place never disturbed by the hand of man. There are spots of beauty iI nature that man can initiate, but he can never equal them.
 Money, grandeur, luxury and ease are what man is after today, and he aims to do as little as he can, and get as much as he can for it. If there is any dirty, hard job, let the other fel low do it. That is the game of life tC day. c. A. Harris.

THE DOORWAY OF HOME.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

The doorway of home is inviting,
 And memory enters therein, Where living was simple and happy,
 And hearts were kept stainless from sin. The doorway of home frames picture
 Earth artists can never portray; Twas drawn by the hand of the Master
 Whose colors are fadeless for aye
