New York Globe: Few things are
more exasperating to the man who
has to keep body and soul together

to have some rich man tell him that
Ii is easy to do it on SIS a week. In
opposing a minimum wage law the
other day an aged millionaire de-
clared he had made the experiment
most satisfactorily, and that there
was no reason why other people
should not do it as regular prac-
tice. He did not, strange to say, pre-
tend that he was still doing it He
did not pretend that he proposes to
end his days in the delights Durchas-
able for SIS a week.
Who ever doubted that strong,
well-nourisheJ man could as an ex-
pertinent or for wager. live on such
sum for limited time? Who ever
doubted that many thousands of PEG
pie do it out of sheer necessity for
an unlimited period? But does any
person that knows life doubt that they
are miserable while doing it?
1t does not seem to have occurred
to this empiric old millionaire that a
man who las most of his life behind
him. an, nretty comfortable life at
that. is q poor criterion for the tastes
of a young. ambitious. and life-hungry
person. 1t does not seem to have oc-
cured to him that man who has
tasted freely of pleasures can be de-

head OF Iowa politics might find it
convenient to have Mr.. Healy inter-

win out he would be known as the

NOT A FAIR ARGUMENT.

Opponents of preparedness are circulating
propaganda against military drill for school
pupils in which they advocate general physical
training and an enlargement of school athletics
as the best preparation for future soldering
In this argument they ring in the old saw that
Waterloo was won on English cricket fields. -
Waterloo was won by the logged, persistent
courage and fighting qualities of thousands Of
troops who had no part on the cricket fields of
England; they came from the agricultural
fields and shops and where work of production
was their business Athletics is great help to
physical fitness and physical fitness is great
help to it's possessor whatever he does. But
physical training will not make soldiers; this is
profession that has It's special requirements.
An interesting and Illuminating light on the
effect of prohibition is disclosed by Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo, who states that the
internal revenue receipts for the fiscal year
promise to exceed the most optimistic fore
casts On account of the increase of prohibi-5
ton territory, Mr.. McAdoo says, the beer tax
has fallen off more than 100000, but despite
this, the whisky and wine tax will Yield s10.-
OOO.G 900 more than last year. COMMENT 1t Is
unnecessary.
Carranza has asked the Wilson adnlinistra-
ton for definite explanation of the keeping of
the troops in Mexico. We hope that President
Wilson doesn't get absent-minded and tell him
thew are there to get a salute from Huerta.
The republican political managers at Chi
cago are now doing their thinking through
their ears. The loudest reverberation they rec
ognize sounds like Hughes.
If President Wilson really longs for whiskers
why don't he let nature take its course?
Roosevelt seems to be perfectly willing to
agree to have his own way.

THE SPAN OF LIFE.

When the shadows lengthen
and fall eastward from the set
ting sun; when the orbs of life
flames is serene beauty through
the gathering twilight; when the
strife and noise of the morning
and noon of life are hushed, and
still small voices are heard be-
yond the horizon of mortality
when memories are revived with
out repining and anticipations
cheer the faltering step toward
the brighter, restful land; when
Faith and Hope walk forward
with the aged man or woman to-
ward the line from whence the
sun passes his light 10 other
worlds-it is then that Age Is
reborn in the Youth of Eternity.
Youth follows birth, maturity fol
los youth and age follows ma
turity-inexorable as the flight OF
time. But nature provides It's
compensations. The rest at even
tide is as sweet as the conquests
of the morning were exhllaratlng.
To be not afraid and pass on, 10
go forward with confidence, TO
close the eyes without a sigh =
such is the mental attitude when
nature and religion bring to the
aged.-Ex.
