Among the loves Of men there Is the
love of open spaces.
When once it gets into the blood it is
hard to put it away.
The various lures that lure, the lure
of the ocean, of the plains, of the noun
tains, of the desert, of the sky, are vari-
ants of the fascination that spaces ex-
ert upon mortals.
To climb mountain and look out over
the tops of things, above low-lying cities,
farms, and forests, out to the dim hori-
zon, fills the soul with a strange sense
of grandeur. Mountain folk are un-
happy in valleys, as if in prison.
And sailors accustomed to the wide
sea, the presence of infinity, are irked
on land; the houses and hills cabin them;
it is all too complex; they miss the vast
simplicity of the sea.
Country dwellers are smothered by
the narrow streets and close-set build
ings of the city. They return home
tired in spirit.
The loneliness we feel in the vast still
ness of the forest, in the monotonous ex-
panse of western plains, is full of home
and restfulness to the denizens, to whom
the untenanted spaces speak in pc
culiar language.
Even city people seek the parks and
vacant squares One cannot live forever
companion to walls and roofs.
The beauty of Petrograd is its broad
streets; of Paris, its open places, such as
the magnificent Place de la Concorde; Of
New York, its great green Central Park;
of Chicago its Lake Michigan touching
the city's heart.
Cities are the product of war, quite az
much as of the convenience of merchan-
disc. The people gathered within the
walls to defend themselves.
II is difficult to turn the habit Of the
world: and cities increase largely from
the inertia of inherited instinct. Lon
don and Berlin are but echoes of Baby
lon and Athens.
But the coming of gunpowder render
ed fortified towns useless. No walls can
be built that explosives cannot shatter.
Nowadays the walls of country are
the trenches.
The first effect of civilization was the
city. The second phase will be country
life. The telephone, telegraph, postoffice,
tramway, railroad, and automobile are
undoing the knotted city tangles and
drawing the people out into larger
spaces.
The charm of aeronautics is the strik-
inc sense of space one receives from rid
ing in the ocean of air. The airship
gives us mountain and sea combined;
the inspiration of height, distance.
breadth and vista.
The best blood of the human stock is
pioneer blood Humanity's vanguard is
piercing Africa's heart and the region
of the Amazon, charting the unknown
ocean. penetrating to the frozen poles,
subduing the tropics, populating far
islands.
Always the open spaces call to adven-
turous men.
| At the last we all are immigrants 10
the mysterious steppes of death; and
we go-who shall say?-to outpopulate
the stars.
Like mighty cataract humanity
nours through the gap of death into the
empty universe.

Alcohol and the Human Mind
To he Editor ~ The Times:
Your editorial on the vast wealth
passing over the bars Of the Chicago
saloons Is n splendid lesson for the
readers OF The Times. and especially
TO the voters, and we must think not
only OF the wasted fortunes but also
the debilitatlng influence upon the
human mind.
The abnormal drifting toward any
particular habit or line OF thought
tends to dwarf and neglect the
neighbor lobes OF the brain. making
man weak and one-sided. because he
fails 10 radiate his complete and nor
NAL reflection OF mind and nothing
scars the higher elements OF the
brain more than the Influence OF
the saloon. We are guardians OF
this most intrinsic piece OF mechan-
ism and our solemn duty and won
derful privilege is to obey every
whisper OF the still small voice that
this trust may not be betrayed.

where, from hitching the Philippines to

its own.
Our own is the anti-preparedness view
that this foe when known ought TO be
bugged as a friend and ably assisted in
the job of kidnapping.
We do not need the Philippines or any
other encumbrance that can be used as
an argument against the disarmament of
nations as the basis of world peace.
We do not need the Philippines and the
Philippines do not need us.
In which connection il might not be
out of place nor amiss to remind the
Democratic party that it has promise
made the people in Baltimore, to fulfill.

Speaking of preparedness:
In the year of our Lord eighteen hun

war with Spain.
And into that war the United States
rushed.
And the United States hasn't gotten

aforesaid News called on Us 10 re.
new our subscription. which lacked
many months OF expiring. As against
our protest with him of the liquor
ads. he claimed all the papers had
such ads. and they falsified when
they claimed they did not. We ask
ed him IL he thought we could not
read, and 10 show us IL The Times
had such. Then he said our paper
does not propose to throw away the
amount OF money We can get for
such ads. and we told him to sell
his papers To those who wanted IT,.
and we sent for The Detroit Times.
II read the dictionary right. the
personal liberty as set forth in this
ad is simply anarchy.
The above Is why I quit them and
now take The Times.
