M OBODY knows, so why not be-
Iouo The LonA

There's love and beauty and
truth abroad upon the earth, good
luck is somewhere, and somebody
has happy days; why not think all
these things are yours!
Tomorrow may be tragic, you may
be going to break your leg, or get
ptomaine poisoning, or be found out,
or something; and, then, again, on
the other hand, tomorrow may be
the big day of your life, your uncle
may die and leave you a million,
your girl may smile on you, or your
friend may pay you back the money
he borrowed month ago; you never
can tell, and so long as you don t
know, and nobody else knows, why
not fix the bright expectancies in
your mind, and turn your back on
gloomi
AS far as the actual facts to come
are concerned, doubtless it makes no
difference. The sun will rise and
the rain will fall without consulting
us.
All the effect any future event
can have on us is what effect we
think it has.
And that's all there is to
optimism.
For optimism is no more nor less
than cultivating cheer, wherewith to
front the future.
And, as previously remarked, why
not!
1t is not self-hypnotism, nor de-
luding ones self, nor any other such
act as requires certain fatuousness,
not to say Stiffness. 1t is sound sense.
1t is intelligent psychology. 1t is
the shrewd marshaling of ones
forces to attack the inevitable.
1t is self-mastery, not elf-delusion.
And the argument is sane. For
there is uglipess all about us, dis
gusting and dreadful scenes and
faces; but there is also beauty, and
even every ugly thing is beautiful
when we get the right perspective,
and the beauty of any object is
largely matter of where you stand
when you look at it; so why not see
beauty'
There's sorrow enough right
around the corner to break your
heart, but then there's joy, too, and
smiles, and laughing children, and
the river of contentment runs
through every street; why not find
the joy?
There is no human being but has
faults. Something's wrong with
every creature God made. But why
be always seeking it'
1t only takes a thimbleful of
brains to find fault. The stupidest
fool alive can be good critic. Why
join the innumerable company of
muttonheads in the mob-mania of
picking flaws, objecting, sneering
and nose elevation!
Why be disagreeable? It's the
vulgarest of all vulgarities.
It's just as easy to be pleasant,
and largely a matter of habit.
And then so few people try it. Be
agreeable, and be the hundredth
man!
Light up! Set lamps in your eyes,
which are your SOULS windows.
illuminate your face with happy
thoughts, and put expectancy upon
your brow, and festoon your lips
with mirth, and be luminous in this,
our murky humanity, and cheer us
all up bit!
Why not!
Give us a joke, we're hungry for
If. Pass the laugh, orr thrOats are

New York, Oct. 27.-Investigat-

Postmaster General Hays, who

the mails were sacred, was accom-
panied by an announcement from

Senator Reed to
Force Showdown
On Soldier Bonus
Missouri Democrat Would Re
tain Present Excess Profits
Tax to Raise Money for
Added Compensation.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune-O Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Oct. 28.-Theres is
going to be an immediate shutdown
in the senate on the question Of the
soldiers bonus after all.
After pidgeon-holing the bonus bill
several months ago, the senate woke
up with start today, to find itself
facing a vote on the issue within the
next day or two.
Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri, democrat, who is op-
posed to the repeal of excess
profits taxes on corporations as en-
dorsed by the republican majority Of
the senate. Offered an amendment
to the pending revenue bill which
would retain the existing excess
profits taxes and use the money de-
rived from that source for payment
Of the soldiers bonus.
AS part of this amendment Mr..
Reed presented the entire soldier bill
in the exact form reported to the
senate by the finance committee and
championed by the republican lead
ers of that committee until President
Harding addressed the senate on the
advisability of postponing such leg
islation and asked that the bill be re-
committed to the committee from
whence it came. The course recon-
mended by the chief executive was
taken without delay.
Senator Reed presented his
amendment on the eve of his depar-
ture for the American Legion con-
vention, which is to be held in Kan
sas City and where is it expected
the course of the present congress
in dealing with soldier bonus will be
the subject of considerable debate.
The convention begins Monday
