A Philosophical Epitaph of
the Dead

In the democracy of the dead, all men at
last are equal.
There is neither rank nor station nor pre-
rogative in the republic of the grave.
At this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song of the poe,
is silent.
Dives relinquishes his millions and Lazar-
US his rags.
The poor man is as rich as the richest,
and the rich man as poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses his usury, and the
debtor is acquitted of his obligation.
There the proud man surrenders his digni-
ties, the politician his honor, the worldling
his pleasures; the invalid needs no physici-
an, and the laborer rests from unrequiting
toll.
Here at last is natures final decree in
equity.
The wrongs of time are redressed, injus-
tice is expiated, the irony of fate is refuted,
the unequal distribution of wealth, honor,
capacity, pleasure, and opportunity which
make life so cruel and inexplicable ceases in
the realm of dearh.
The strongest there has no supremacy,
and the weakest needs no defense.
The mightiest captain succumbs to that
invincible adversary who disarms alike the
victor and the vanquished.

public opinion.
By regulating the fow of credit it can
precipitate financial ruin upon many, at its
pleasure. By controlling the wages Of hun.
dreds OF thousands Of workmen it can lay
its hands op the lives of millions of people
By cornering the necessaries of life it Can
raise the death rate. BY increasing the cos,

and lower the birth rate, thus penetrating
to the most personal and intimate relations
of life. By closing the door of opportunity
to enterprise and by repressing initiative it
can do much to eliminate individuality and
improverish character.
In word, the unchecked concentration
of wealth is capable of destroying popular
liberties and to reducing US to slavery as
real as any from which humanity has eman-
cipated itself. And if we become enslaved,
it will make little difference how we cata-
logue the kind of power that oppresses us.

Amusements on Liners

Atlantic liners are once again carrying
Orchestras, but whether this form of enter
tainment provided by the various shipping
companies will satisfy the demands of the
exacting traveller remains to be seen, says
the Liverpool Journal of Commerce. In
this connection one has in mind other forms
of amusement, particularly the introduction
of kinema displays. 1t is known that on
several of the large vessels in the Atlantic
trade when transporting troops, the kinema
was successfully used, and this experience
has proved that without material change in
the construction or appointments of these
vessels such form of entertainment can be
established. While dramas and comedies
cannot be enacted on board liners in the
same degree as they can in theatre, there
is nothing to prevent the photo-play be-
coming an itinerary of an ocean voyage.
The details of such a scheme requires con-
siderable thought; still our ''kinema
kings" no doubt, will have no difficulty,
when the time is opportune, in presenting
the various shipping companies with a
programme, which while not interfering
with the ships structure, will add to the
enjoyment of passengers.-

And the public shall admire the wisdom

And each topic they surrounded,
With vast and indefatigable din.
Here and there they grabbed missile
Siencing the factory whistle,
And the public murmured, "Where do

Then the discord rising thickly
Turning the harmony right quickly
AS the two exclaimed in a convincing way,
"Don't feel nervous or detected,
You shall never be neglected.

however, is in working up into decorative
effects under glass in pictures, dishes and
jewelry and brilliant wings of highly color

tropical countries, the one most gorgeously
colored of all being rose-colored one from
Madagascar. His goods are shipped to

From Isle and Sea

When down the craggy coasts the lights
Of harbnr and of headland burn,
With stars in nets of silver caught
The singing tides return.
I hear their voices through the dusk
Forever chanting of the sea,
Ofvoyages far to happy isles
And hills Of mystery.
So from the happy isles that lie
Dim and uncharted in your heart,
Across the sea of years to me
The singing waters start.
hear their voices in the dusk,
But cannot read their mystic speech,
And softly dies their song away
To silence on the beach.
So ever does your tenderness
Show how your hearts great love cal
be,
Though spoken not, high as the stars
And boundless as the sea!

from the shore by submarine cable nearly
mile and half long. This cable is of
immense strength, being eleven inches in
circumference and weighing forty-6ve tons
to the nautical mile. By its aid the fog
horn and siren are regularly blown-they
have been heard thirty miles away on the
French coast-while the current it carries

Illuminating expanses of coast line where
the erection of an ordinary tower would
be prohibitive on account of its cost this
type of lighthouse has certainly much to
commend it. The Platte Fougere install.
alton involved an expenditure of only ten
thousand pounds.
1t is proposed to use this type of auto
matte lighthouse for Illuminating the Hud-
son Bay and Hudson Straits in connection
with the opening of these waters and the
carriage of wheat by the new railway to
Fort Churchill on Hudson Bav. The vari-
Gus South American Straits have also con-
sidered the proposal of establishing similar
lights on the more exposed and barren
coasts of South America.-Ex.

Yes, He's Some Man

He may wear last years straw hat;
his finger nails may need manicuring; his
vest may hang little loose, and his pants
may bag at the knees; his face may show
signs of second-day's growth, and the tin
dinner bucket he carries may be full Of
dents and doughnuts; but don't you call
him ''the old man. He's your father.
For years and years he has been rustling
around to get things together. Never once
has he failed to do the right thing by you.
He thinks you are the greatest boy on
earth, bar none, even though you plaster
your hair back, wear smart clothes, smoke
cigarettes, and fail to bring home cent.
He is the man who won the love and life
partnership of the greatest woman on
earth-your mother. He is ''some'' man
and not "the old man."
If you win as good a wife as he did, you
will have to go some.-The Silent Partner.

Roll up your sleeves now, and dig in!
The time you spend waiting will all be a

You were made for winner! Begin!

Until the boss tells them to go;
But you be the worker who sets his own

Are fellows who think for themselves.

Happy Children

Oh, everything was singing low,
When we went out to play today:
The piping breezes blew as though
They brought glad songs from far away
A singing tree-top rocked its nest,
A lark was singing to the blue,
And blithesome, on our woodland quest,
We children all were singing, too.
And laughter, like roundelay,
Went circling all the happy morn:
The breeze ran like fay at play,
Low-laughing through the laughing corn
The trees were shaking mirthfully,
The brooks laughed, as they always do
So gay the whole world seemed, that we
Shouted with merry laughter, too.

Motion Picture Show

Douglas Fairbanks paid US a visit again
Wednesday, Dec. 3, giving US something
new in comedy drama, five reels of sketch
entitled "Back to Earth This play af-
fords a splendid opportunity to forcibly
bring out and characterize the fallacies of
people who in many cases believe they are
suffering from some deep rooted and per-
haps incurable ailments and resort to all
manner of costly cures to obtain relief.
Doug sure gets chance in this play
to assert his fine characteristics. His GUS
tomary 'Sandow'' style of fitness for
things, his vim and happy demeanor and
his natural bent throughout to make a sue
cess of anything he undertakes is surely in
telligently and forcibly portrayed in this
play. The way he opens up on his visit to
his hancee, whom he discovers taking
treatment at the sanitarium, his curiosity at
seeing host of other patients and his final
hurried determination to help these stricken
people and above all his 6ancee-is sure
some laughable the way he goes about it.
To buy out the place intact seemed the
only solution and it works, after which the
treatments continue under a new head.
But, they are different to what the patients
are accustomed and the way "Doug" puts
his we'll devised scheme into effect of dump
ing his patients on the island, only to get
them next to Mother Nature right and to
follow his explicit instructions, he GER
tainly does effect sure ''cure-all'' for any
old kind of an ailment that will respond to
the treatment, and they were all cured in
this case.
''Back to Earth" is play rich in vir-
tuous delineation and is we'll worth the set
ting. The scenery in the play is beautiful
to behold and contemplate, combining
water and land views that make effective
background.

miner and market hunter, are closing in.
The white mans civilization is drawing
near. Already sledloads of wild game
reach the Fairbanks market. With the
completion of the government railroad
New York will be but three weeks away.
Our national expansion has always carried
with it evils as we'll as good. Fires have
swept away forests; dynamite and filth have
killed off the fish; leaden hail has exter-
minated the wild life. Remember the
buffalo!''
When this day comes the big game of
the region will naturally gravitate to
Mount Mckinley. And there it will find
sanctuary in the national park. So. aside
from its scenic magnI6cence. the creation
of Mount Mckinley National park is we'll
worth while as game preserve.
On the other hand, so remote is this
vast wilderness that the act contains a con-
cession to the prospector and the miner in
the matter of killing game for food. The
act establishes the park as game refuge
and provides heavy punishment for the
killing of game. There is, however, this
proviso:
provided, That prospectors and miners
engaged in prospecting or mining in said
park may take and kill there so much game
or birds as may be needed for there actual
necessities when short of food; but in no
case shall animals or birds be killed in said
park for sale or removal therefrom or wan
tonly.'
1t is obvious that inasmuch as the passing
of the park act does not modify or effect
the mineral land laws now applicable to the
area and hence does not exclude prospect
ors and miners, it would not do to prohib-
i, the killing of game for food by them in
case of necessity.

Catch the sweet thoughts of home and of
love,
Thoughts that are rich and inspiring,
Sweet as the flowers that bloom on the
mead;
Bright, and forever untiring
Round you they float in the sweet sum-
mer breeze,
High in the starlights they glitter,
Mirrored in waves or fast flowing tide,
Cheering the soul that is bitter!
Catch the sweet thoughts of home and of
love,
They comoin the shade of the cleaning,
Bathing the soul in the perfume of peace
While zephyr winds softly are roaming!
Purity lends them its garment of light,
Sun-splendors robe them in beauty.
Come spirit-thoughts from far, far away,
Bind me to love and to duty!
Brood o'er my WEAKNESS bringing sweet
rest,
Cheer all the shadings of sorrow!
Help me to make some other heart glad,
With hopes of brighter tomorrow!

But guide her untaught might;
That she may walk in peaceful day
And lead the world in light.

Sense and Cents

Two lads know called Jack and Joe,
As like as lads can be,
In almost all respects; IN one,
They differ utterly.
For when they make ten cents or so,
From papers that they sell,
Jack says, "That cents make dollars
grow,
A lad of sense knows well.''
So in his bank he drops his cents;
Not one he leaves outside;
Then hastens off to earn more cents
And slip them in with pride.
But Joe,-it has to be confessed,
No bank at all needs he;
"For cents were made to spend, "he says
"And that's good sense to me.''
With cents in hand he halls friend;
Straight to the shops they run;
On lollipops and lemon drops
He spends his cents for fun.
All, me! hope the lads you know
Are we'll betwixt these two:
With sense enough to spend some cents
And sense to save cents, too.

Sailing away with no thought of care!
Leaving dull dreams to the earth below.
Sailing away on a sea of air,
Knowing such thrills as a bird must

Higher, and higher he winds in flight;
Farther, and farther till out OF sight;
Till the purIing sound of his engine dies,
Swallowed and lost in the nav of the

Where deep the plow sinks
Best the seeds take hold;
Where deep the shaft drops.
Appears the brightest gold.
From springs of darkness,
Shut from wind and sun.

In crystal rillets run.
And so do fate and failure
Search the hidden soul
Until, unshackled,
The spirit finds its goal.
