THE DISSATISFIED MAN

With some the knocker and the kicker are placed in the
same class. This is a mistake, and a great one. They are
Numerically opposed to each Other in intent and effort.
The knocker simply objects to any and everything for
the pleasure he gets, out of b~elittling or destroying things
or ideas other than his own. He has no suggestions to
make as to remedies, or removal of causes or things which
he knocks, but he just knocks for the pleasure he derives
from knocking. The kicker is a different animal with en-
tirely different objects. The kicker objects to conditions
or things because they are not what they should be. He
kicks for an object, which is to correct some wrong, some.
neglect, some poor service, something that needs fixing
and his kick helps get it. Your complacent, self satisfied
man never does anything for the world and seldom much
for himself. To make a success of life a man must be dis
satisfied with his business and his progress. When he be-
comes satisfied with either himself or his business he is in
danger of deterioration and SO is his business. Ii man had
been satisfied with himself and his surroundings, there
would have been no improvement through all the count
less ages. He would still be wearing leaves or skins for
clothing and making his fire with flints or some by other
primitive process. The dissatisfied fellows watched one
after another, their wives sew and fashion the family
garments with a thorn for a needle. One of these woke
up enough to make an eye in the end of the thorn and so
made the punching of the hole and the passing through
of the thread one operation, and SO made the work that
much more rapid. Another fellow after some other dis
satisfied chap had produced iron, and still another
changed it into steel made the modern needle, and evolved
a thimble to work it with. He also, or one of his kind
twisted fbers and made an even and much finer thread
than Nature had provided and the satisfied folks been
content with. The spinning wheel ard loom were the out
growth of this just as some dissatisfied fellow happened to
see the chance for Improvement along that line while
others noting how much of the women's time was taken
up with their taking one little stitch at a time evolved the
sewing machine. So it has been in all walks of life. The
man dissatisfied with the way things are done makes a
new and better way for doing them. The chap who is sat
isfed does not give the matter a thought and so makes no
improvement, no advances. The man satisfied with a
wheelbarrow would never have tried making a horse do
his work and a man satisfied with using an animal for his
transportation system would never have invented the
locomotive or the flying machine. 1t is the dissatisfied
man who is responsible for all changes, and it is quite pos
sible it will be the dissatisfied man who will finally put an
end to the cataclysm that now RACES half way around the
world. Is

DISLoYALTY NOT STAMPED OUT

Having disposed of the case of Miss Hunt, the board
having the library in charge with but one dissenting vote
held that Miss Hunts superior officer, Miss Isom, was
not dsloyal. Yet as the story appeared in the newspapers
Miss Isom expressed her admiration for the board in up
holding Miss Hunts right to her opinions and to express
the same, as an unfolding of freedom of conscience. Miss
Hunt said certain things and these the board held disloyal.
Miss Isom said Miss Hunt had a right to say just what she
lid say, and so practically said the same things and yet.
she is held not to have slipped in language or loyalty.

Many things are forcing one to the conclusion that there

educational forces fling the lower classes and occasional

Landing Of Troops

By Ralnh II Tuner

Toxic, April l6.-Japanese Officials
apparently do not take seriously the
soviets' preparations to declare a
state Of war in Siberia.
They say this action would not like
ly mean hostilities, because the soviets
are unable to maintain a state of siege
IN Siberia. The japanese marines will
not withdraw from Vladivostok until
order is restored, and japan will insist
that her action is only a local agree
ment of the allies, whose ~eonsuls ex-
planned to Vladivostok authorities that

The Americans surely gave a good account of the 400
German shock troops sent against them. When the scrap
was over there were 81 badly shocked troopers" hang
ing dead in the wire entanglements and IL were prisoners.
This accounts for rs out of 400 or about 10 per cent.
Counting the wounded whose number is unknown but
which must have been at least as large as the number of
dead, and more than one-third of those who went to the
attack were put out of commission in a few minutes. Ac-
counts of the fighting say that had the Germans not fled
back to their trenches the deadly individual fire of the
Americans would have got the last one of them.

DYING FOR H

| hate to die--and So do you---it's such a
foolish thing to do. We feel, when we are
cashing in, that dissolution is a sin, it's such
a waste of hair and bones, and all the flesh
a mortal owns. We lead our safe and shell
tered lives; we rear our kids and feed our
wives; we've lived in fat commercial times,
resolving everything to dimes. Our frugal
instincts show that waste is sin by which
we are disgraced, and so it causes us dis
tress to lose the number of our mess; for
death is waste, the thing we dread; there is
no rake-off for the dead. The war some

One of the amusing things in connection with the Pro-

asked the professor if he had any statement to make the
fool?" Considering all the circumstances how could the
professor expect to be taken for anything else? Did he
imagine he was not a fine sample of that species?

And that brings US to our original
chirp-to wit and to wee-skilled labor
and not skulled labor is going to knock
the kaiser loose from his tin fedora
The American men-o'-war can't
make up to the "kamerade" and un-
tangle his iron hat with a can opener
unless enough canoes are hemsutched
to keep EN- in ham and eggs, which
are as important in separating the
kaiser from his intentions as bones are
to herring, and America must provide
the pork and hen nuggets. While there
are plenty of hams in Europe, they all
speak German, and shad roe isn't the
kind of eggs our boys are used to splitting
on their vests.
Apropos of our dilemma. a gent
whose name we can't spell or pro-
nounce in Anglo-Saxon has embroad-
cred an animal he calls "garabed," with
which he calculates to end the war in
less than the regulation nine innings
This ''garabed" is as yet secret
In fact, il is so secretive that the chef
himself doesn't know what is in it, or.
if he does. he won't tell. 1t is all full

Some brain magician thought of using
the energy from the kick after each

If some guy with weakness for

use the kick from the conscientious
directors We might be able to kick Won

Speaking of kicking. think of all the

do with the complaints of the Mount
