TnE PRESIDENTS BIGGEST JOB

National defense Is a running cx-
pensc of the government It is in
10 SENSE a sclf.supportlng enterprise.
II acoumulates no capital, except that
" safety hy continued expenditures
Each generation. therefore, should
pay the bin as it goes.
Public opinion requires ohiy that
tho necessary money for national de-
Tense be raised By tulernblc and proc
ductve taxation, aud expended With
cut waste, for the profit " national
security An Of the expenditure
ahould be under direction Of experts
who have been trained to know what
the nation needs aud how to get 1t.
This is the problem before ihls adj
ninlsiration
The president is confronted 10y di-
verging ways. As far as he follows
his own sound Judgment. the people

gives way TO party intrigucs, local

National defense IS not party
question II has divided the parties

safe division in the United states. The
president and some Of his party. and

WHAT WRONG THOUGHT MAY
DO.


! In sense II makes little difference
what philosophy Of life a man holds,
so long az he holds 1t TO play with
and not TO work by. The idealIst may
hold that matter IN but form Of
thought snd the materialist that ev-
erytbing Is receivable into natter;
but so long as both act on the hy-
pothesis that both mind and matter
exist, mind being superior to matter
both may survive and live reasonably
well.
Not long since IL Hindu idcalist,
living in the flesh but denying it IN
his philosophy, cxpounded to an Am
erican audience philosophy Of man
that would mike the individual but a
mental moyemcnt~~an eddy In vast.
composite, immortal mind.
The beginning and the end Of the
individual man he held 10 be the
rising and subsistence respectively OF
his mental eddy the Immortality Of
the man being but the cndlessness Of
the mental mass In which his soul
for brief moment whirls about.
Such philosophy as this appears
TO western mind to be the very
stuff Of which dreams are made,
theory on par with astrology as a
working program, scheme that uf-
feGts human conduct not at all, ex-
cept perhaps thai il may fog the
truth a little
This theory Is, however, the philo-
aophleal stock Of which Brahmamism
Is built, a religion that counts its
followers by the hundreds OF mil
lions, and that has done FOR its de-
voices the worst that any religion
has done for any such great fraction
Of the human race. It's fundamental
weakness Is that II leaves the indi-
vidual man fnthefloas and futurelcss.
1t fails to accord him his true value
IN this life and beyond t.
Between the beginning Of this eddy
and the end Of IL. this philosophy has
left room for the tfansmigrntlon Of
the soul through the lower order Of
animal forms up TO the human form,
where nothing less than an existence
full Of pcnnncc and empty Of pleas
ure will onililc the wretch TO u final
submerslon Of endless mind
Failing la one item to live his per
feet life " perfect wretchedness, he
is sent back by his religion to travel

Fort sumner n NJ, Jan 22.-The
local land office is in most flourish

influx OF new settlers coming from
Texas and other states to get free

Among the settlers are many who
came to these parts several years ago

The patrons Of the office are highly
pleased with the manner in which
Register A. j Evans and Receiver

AUDRAIN POULTRY COMPANY
ROBBED MONDAY NIGHT
Thief or Thieves Enter Window and
Carry Away Skins Valued at
Fifty Dollars.
DID NOT ENTER THE OFFICE
None of Cone Of Contents of Poultry
House We're MOlested Save the
Skins.

Sometime Monday night a thief or
thieves entered the Audrain Poultry
Company's building on West Monroe
street and carried away skunk, mink
and opossum furs valued at fifty
dollars.
The entrance was made through one
Of the windows on the west side of
the building, next to the Airdome.
The upper sash was pulled down and
the thief crawled in over the lower
sash, helped himself to the furs,
which were drying near the window,
left the building by the front door,
which was standing open when G. W.
Strain, manager of the company,
came to the building Tuesday morn
ing. None of the contents Of the
building were molested except the
furs, and the thief overlooked num-
ber of furs lying on the table near
by. The office was not entered.
This is the third robbery in Mex
leo in the past week; last Wednesday
night Roy Ferris sSore was entered
and Saturday night Voorhies Coons
was held up and robbed on East Mon
roe street.
Mr.. Strain called Sheriff Barnett
and Constable At Brown as soon as
the ROBBERY was discovered, and an in
vestigation was started early Tues
day morning.
This building was entered several
times last summer, but the thief was
finally caught. About a month ago
the stock of the company was de-
stroyed by fire and the building was
badly damaged.
