ED. HOWE'S PHILOSOPHY

Materialism is always a better doc
trine than spiritualism, not only be-
cause it is always true but beiause it
is more merciful There is no punish
ment in materialism comparable in
ferocity with punishments claimed by
spiritualism The hell of the spirit
ualiStS, where a victim burns forever,
suffers the awful torture of burning
every moment throughout eternity, is
the most brutal, the most inhuman,
ever devised. Materialisn provides no
such punishment.
Because a man is poor, and possibly
has little sense, it does not follow he
is modest; he probably believes that
he ought to be king, pope or president
and that if his advice were taken the
world would be much better off. And
as a matter of fact, many OF the best
rulers have been of humble birth. H.
G. Wells says the best ruler that ever
lived was a plebeian. | know nothing
about it myself, but shall believe it
until an equally persuasive writer ep-
pears with a different story; this is
all there is to history, anyway.

Bert Williams says a negro man
was walking along a lonely road at
night when ghost suddenly appeared
beside him. The negro walked as
fast as he could, but the ghost con-
tinued by his side. Then the negro
ran as fast as he could, but the
ghost kept up with ease. Finally the
negro fell from exhaustion. 1--WE
have had quite a run" the ghost said.
YES" the negro replied, "and we'll
have another as soon as l get my
breath" (There is no moral, unless
it is that the people of Europe are
preparing for another run as soon as
they recover, and want us to join

family thought it lacked responsibility
unless there was a piano in the house
with a book of poetry on top. Probab-
ly no one. in the family was able to
play the piano decently, but there it
stood, out Of tune and I'D preciating in
value Lately people who do not play
piano or greatly care for one, are
bold enough to do without such ex-
pense Likewise in these modern
times, those who do not care for ideas
formerly generally accepted, but now
known to be erroneous, are bold
enough to say so. Every man insists
on his own judgment, however poor it
may be, and will not willingly per-
nit others to decide for him.

area of these eyelen states is Ma
tional Forests belonging to the gov
.ernment.
In these states there is approx
mately l92,0O0,0OO acres of govern
ment land open to homestead entry.
This is more than 25 per cent of their
total area. Some of this land is suit
able for dry farming, but much of it
can never be farmed proftably with
out irrigation and most of it, so far
as We know now, is valuable only for
grazing purposes and for the mineral
1t contains. The reclamation of this
public agricultural land and the de-
velopment of its mineral resources
depends upon the attitude of the fed
eral government, and that attitude
depends largely upon knowledge of
the possibilities of the West.
While these eleven states include
nearly 40 per cent of the area of the
country they contain only a little
more than eight per cent of the coun-
tryS population. In 1910 they con-
tanned about seven per cent of the
population and in 1900 only about
FIVE per cent. These states are in
creaSing in population more rapidly
than the country at large, but their
greatest need still is more people.
Rich in Minerals.
Nearly so per cent of the available
coal of the country is found in these
eleven states. The great bulk of the
nations production of gold and silver
has come from these states. They
have produced immense quantities of
copper, lead and zinc and still have
vast supplies Of these metals to be
worked. Americas supplies of tung-
stem and molybendum are found al
most exclusively in the West, and the
same is true Of vanadium and other
metals of that group. The Rocky
Mountain West gave radium to the
world. The water resources Of these
western states are almost illimitable.
They produce very large percentage
taee of the country's petroleum out

through the aid of the United States
government, and aid that would not
be withheld if you and your neigh
borS expressed desire to see it 60
flowing through the deserts and trans
form them to a great aid to America.
Did you know that out in Colorado
and all through the Rocky Mountain
section there waits one of the richest
fields of natural resources the world
has ever known but that production
is far, far behind, that capital has
opportunities for Unlimited develop
ment, that the advice, Go west,
oung man, y is still living message ?
1t is true that in the past three
years more than 100000 acres of
homestead and Indian lands have
been entered in the Rock Mountain
states, mostly by farmers from the
Mississippi valley, and millions of
acres of raw land have been placed
under cultivation.
Trdpel BY Auto.
The main current Of the swelling
stream of tourist travel that flows
into the West each year is made UP
of people who have not Travelled ex-
tenSiyely in the past. Most of them
are people of moderate means. Visit
ors to the National Parks and Ma
tional Forests come from every state
in the Union and every year they in
clude thousands who are making
tours Of the West for the first time.
Most of them travel by automobile
and many of them carry their camp
ing outfits with them, living all the
time in the open air and enjoying to
the full the wonderful climate which
is one Of Natures richest gifts to the
West
The tourist and homeseeker move
ment to the West is especially graft
fying to those Of US who are interest
ed in development Of this vast area,
for we realize that development here
depends to a very large extent upon
the cooperation Of the entire country,
and the people Of other sections Of
the United States can not be expected
to cooperate freely in the develop
ment of the West until they are better
informed about what such develop
ment means for all the nation.
1t should be borne in mind that
the area Of the eight Rocky Noun
tain states is SAG, $4,000 acres, or
approximately 20 per cent Of the
area Of the entire country, while the
areas of the eight Rocky
Mountain states and the three Pa
cifc Coast states is 753,420, 800 acres
or nearly 40 per cent of the area of
the United States, exclusive Of Alas
ka and our insular possessions.
A Public Trust.
But it is not generally understood
that all the people of the United
States own more than one-half Of
this vast area. In these eleven states
there are more than l20,000,00U
acres Of National Forests, the prop
erty Of the federal government, on
which timber is being grown and
preserved for the benefits Of all the
people. These forests are not the
of the states in which they
are located nor of the people of these
states, but Of all the people. In 9TH

SMILE AWHILE
Who's WHO.

The child, the pride Of the neigh
borhood because of his keen intel
ligence, was left to play at the home
of a neighbor There was something
different about this home that seemed
to attract the child more than any
other. Here he was amused by an
elderly man, who read, played the
piano, slept and did nothing to mark
him as the head Of a household. His
wife on the other hand carried on a
successful department store where
she spent Il of the "a hours.
This condition seemed quite con-
trary to the childs conception of do
mestic life To him the duty of ulC
head of the house was to leave after
breakfast for business and return at
night for dinner, while the wife was
to stay at home and attend to the
household duties. The chiId's mother
returned and noticed that the child
looked puzzled, but could not put his
query into words. Finally he asked:
