UNCLE JOSH SAYS

I've noticed when fellow dies,
His friends from far and near,
All gather round and say nice
things
Of him (but the dead don't hear).
They bring him flowers made-up
in wreaths
Which sometimes fill a room,
But the dead don't even get a smell
OF the fragrance they exhume.
I've seen folks there that haven't
spoke
To him in months or years,
But now they congregate and
mourn,
Their eyes are dimmed with tears.
They all forget the bitter words
They spoke but yesterday,
And now they find multitude
Of compliments to pay.
When you and cash in our checks,
They'll do the same, ! guess;
But just as far as Pm concerned
1t wont be by request.
So if its all the same to you,
Just bring to me instead
The flowers while I'm living,
Use the hammer when Pm dead

COLLEGE LIMITATIONS

Americans have, from the begin
ming, been trifle mad on the sub
ject of college education. To
make ones son as good as the son
of anybody else and little better
if possible, to fit him to hold
high" position and to make his
mark" is instructive of the true
American. There is no need to
say that this is laudable. For gen.
erations we have been writing
about the laudability of it. So ii
might be as well-by way of va
riety inquire if vigorous, am
bilious boys were not quite fire.
qnently ruined by college. By
this one does not mean that they
fall into extravagant company and
bad habits, but merely that their
native energy is wasted by the
long, reluctant application to
books. There are many minds to
which the abstract is distasteful
and the obsolete irritating. Not
philosophy but the application of
individual energy to personal pro.
blems is what interests them. They
are not concerned with history but
with achievement. What other
men have thought about life and
the record they have made of their
ideas does not begins to move them
as do their own reactions.
They are not less valuable than
those of studious nature. Quite
the contrary. Resourceful, origi
nal, aggressive natures sometimes
find it nothing less than torture to
sit in the classroom listening to
the prefunctory addresses of weary
instructors, or spending the even
ings in application to studies which
do not interest them and which
they will soon forget. They find
the universities in many respects
disappointing. No one who comes
in contact with them has the quail
ties of leadership for which they
long; the academic interpretations
of life are liable to be meager. cut
and dried. 1t is little wonder that
enthusiasm faints and dies, that
personally weakens and initiative
atrophies during the dragging
four years of college life. For il
does drag to the youth not consi
tutionally fitted for it. 1t drags
too, for young women whose i'm
pulses and ardors point out way

POOR CALIFORNIA

Not since the days of long age
has the action in any one State,
played so prominent part in q
national election as has the State
of California played in this one
lust past. Not once in a genera
tion does such fortune befall any
State. Think of it! The whole
United States stood up and looked
toward The Golden Gate Why ?
Fate chose California to cast the
fatal vote. Which ever way goes
she, so goes the national election.
Could the grand old State see
her Importance in this matters
Great men and women stood at the
small end of the telephone waiting
for the fatal call. Can it be so9
This was the final question when
what they waited for came. Cali
fornia has gone for President Will
son. How can such a thing be
when johnson carried the old state
by three hundred thousands Why
Johnson ran on the G. O. P. tick
ct and swept the state. Yet, the
head of the ticket was beateal
Some thing must be rotten in Cali
fornia.
The daily papers say that selfish
ambition of local leaders caused
t lis lamentible state of affairs.
Should this be true those men have
just reason to fold their arms in
abject shame. Such men should
go and hide themselves in the
peacable bosom of the Pacific.
There appears to me very SEN
timental side to this great catas-
trophe. He kept us out of war"
and Il didn't raise my boy to be
soldier" made quite hit upon
the sentiment of our women in
that state. The demos made much
of this tender cord and never a
speaker missed chance to deepen
it. 1t was almost magical to see
how such childish sentiment
spreaded.
l bethought me had such senti-
ment griped upon the grand old
mothers and fathers of the North
in 1850, what would now be the
condition of these United States9
No, their hearts knew nothing of
such girlish sentiment. Those good
old mothers of Germany would
today mob any speaker who would
try to teach any such sentiment to
them. They would say to him
quickly, the first duty of a boy
is to his country"
The same is no less true with
any of the mothers whose country
i, at war. When the time comes
for war, petty sentiment will not
slve one. Why should it play in
election time with no war pendingY
