ADVERTISED LIST
An Optimist's ESSAY.

A pessimiSt is a son of the man who
didn't believe there was any such thing
as electricity.
He is an offspring of the man who
was sure that the horseless carriage
would never come, and a nephew of
the man who was willing to bet money
that men would never fly.
A pessimist is a direct descendant of
the man who was sure that wireless
telegraphy was a fools dream and a
submarine merely the creation of a fic-
ton writer's brain.
The pessimist's ancestory scoffed at
the telephone the typesetting machine,
the twenty story building, anaesthetics
and every forward step the optimists
have taken for the betterment of hui
man life.

been right men would still be living

Analyses and Ridicules a Re-

By G. X. Chesterton
The Distinguished English PublicIst.

TT Is unnecessary nowadays to justify tina

- can ask nothing better than the eloquent
and convincing defense Of our British policy
delivered By the German Chancellor IN the
Reichstag.
For the purposes Of this present argument
It Is necessary to recaptulate II mere
otherwise than IN outline. But lest the
fine irony OF the form In which he cast 1t, or
the time that has since interviewed, should
have dmmed Its meaning In any mind, can
briefly remind the reader Of what the Chan
cellor said. He said he had refused the Eng
lish promise not "a attack or consptre TO at
tack Apparently he had refused 1t on tho
ground that civilized Powers do not attack
or conspire So far we may manage TO follow
him; civilized Powers may not; but Germany
does That Germany does. he then proceeded
70 prove Though civilized Powers do not at
tack anybody. he had asked for a promise Of
English neutrality In case civilized Powers
should attack Germany.
AS II stands. ills means nothing. 1t Is lit
UT with ray OF intelligence by the admission
that followed: that the immediate answer TO
the original English promise had been de
m6nd> that England should remain neutral la
any case This surely, il Anal. What is the
difference between vow to be neutral and
vow not 10 he aggressive? What does It mat
ter whether Jones promises Brown not to Join
In an attack, or whether Jones promises Brown

which It really does matter. Il matters to

Mr.. Clafiin states his opinion that the
question Is greater than partisanship or
even Of politics. and says:
las an enthusiastic believer in the
principles of progressivism, I consider
Mr.. Hughes to be stanch progressive,
and I view his statement of acceptance
as absolute evidence of his stand for
those principles and of his intention
to be guided by them. Therefore. / can
see no reason why every progressive
should not earnestly support Mr..
