OUR DEBT TO THE CAVE MAN
Tribute to Him BY William James
One Of Most Eloquent Pas
saoes in Literature.

One of the most eloquent passage.
In American literature is William
James tribute to the cave man. says
the Detroit News. He wrote: Bone
of our bone and flesh of our flesh, are
these half.brutish prehistoric brothers.
Girdled about with the immense dark.
ness of this mysterious universe even
as we are, they were born. and died,
suffered and struggled. Given over to
fearful crime and passion, plunged In
the blackest ignorance, preyed upon by
hldeous and grotesque delusions vet
steadfastly serving the profoundest
of ideals in their fixed faith that eX-
istence in any form is better than
non-eXistence, they ever rescued tri-
umpiantly from the jaws of ever
imminent destruction the torch Of life
which, thanks to them, now lights the
world for us.
'1low small indeed seem individual
distinctions when we look back on
these overwhelming numbers of hu-
man beings painting and straining
under the pressure of that vital want.
And how inessential in the eyes Of
God must be the small surplus of the
individuals merit, swamped as it is in
the vast ocean of the common merit
Of mankind dumbly and undauntingly
doing the Fundamental duty and liy-
ing the heroic life. We grow humble
and reYereRt as we contemplate the
prodglous spectacle"

AN EXAMPLE OF ExTRAvAoAncE

You are spending 1t yourselves. for

for other public improvements that
you have sanctioned by your votes,

able property to pay the expense Of
state government, they say. Why com.
plain about that when the average tax
levy FOR the state Is more than SD on
each $1,000 Of property assessed?
But the people are beginning to ask
II the example OF extravaganza set by
the state administration in the past
four years has not had something TO
do with increasing taxes all the way
down the line. II the state board of
capitol managers and the state audit
Ing board pay $500 for an nliwei for
the governor. isn't it possible that of
ficials in counties, cities, towns and
school districts may be Influenced by
Nht eAdlllplt u ll4NlISe IN Ille same
kind of exorbitant expenditures: Ii
state officials are careless and reck-
less In spending the peoples money.
how can we expect economy and care
2r lle part Of public officials in the
sldte's smaller political units?
The people believe that the state
administration should set nm example
of economy and efficiency in the trans
action Of public business. They have
been believing IL for long time, but
believing has not got them anywhere.
So this year they are going to do
little demanding, which theJ Snse
right TO do. The state administration
May not be able 10 save more than II
.ew cents for each taxpayer by rigid
economy, but the example will be
worth much more than the saving. The
Republicans, during four years in con
troll of state affairs in Colorado, have
become more eXtravagant each year,
So the people are demanding this year
that the extravagant Republican office
holders so back home and darn their
socks.

ORIGIN OF BULL AND BEAR"
Thsss Common Terms 90 Back to the
Early History Of the British
Stock Exchange.

So well established have the terms
bull" and bear" become that they
are defined even In the least COLO
quial Of dictionaries as lone who spec
ulates or wagers upon rise in stocks
and lone who speculates or wagers on
a fall" The commonly accepted ex-
PLANTATION Of the use Of the terms for
merly was that the bear claws or pulls
the stock down. while the bull tOsses
1t up. at 1t were. on his horns. But
this is really nothing more than a
guess, and the real origin of the
phrase bull and bear Is buried
somewhere In the early history OF the
British stock exchange.
Here, says the Detroit News, it ap-
pears that the earliest use Of the idea
was In the proverb about selling the
bearslin before one has caught the
bear" which was applied to all trans
actions on the exchange or elsewhere
where there was no Immediate trans
fer of goods, but only payment to
be made at some future time accord-
ing rs the goods had advanced or re
ceded in price. 4
In "rhe Anatomy of Change AL
ley" published in 1919, occurs the
sentence: Those who buy Exchange
Alley bargains are styled buyers of
bearskins.' and in 1Tii the terms ap-
pear 10 have come into common usage,
for the London Magazine of that year
refers to bulls and bears" while
George Coleman, in his Man Of Busl-
ness uses them in precisely the same
sense In which they are employed at
the present time.

Great Wave Of
Prosperirty Here

We all know now thnt times are
good! Everybody Is prosperous. es.

Some time ago. when 1000, 600 work
ing people In the United States were
Idle and Colorado farmers had all sold
their wheat for about 80 cents a
bushel, n few Of us got the Idea that
maybe we were not quite so prosper
Gus as we would like to be. But
George Shaw. Republican Moses for
Colorado, told us that the Republican
emergency tariff had fixed everything
up all right and we bought five cent
cigar for fifteen cents and felt rich.
The spectators had all the wheat by
that time and the price went up
around SIi0 n bushcl, just like George
said 1t would
But pretty soon the farmers
threshed another crop of wheat, and
Wien they began to haul 1t 10 market
they found that the price had gone
down, in spite of that emergency tar

less. Our fine Colorado peaches also
brought the growers about 30 cents a
bushel, though the rest Of the people
in the state. who were urged TO can
them and help the growers, paid from
S1.15 to 50 bushol for them. Pota-
toes In some districts were bringing
less than 80 cents hundred pounds.
Just between you and me, 1t began to
look Ike George Shaw had made
mistake.
But now Senator Phipps has stepped
down among us, bringing the official
glad tidIngs from Washington. The
new tariff bill has been passed and
everything is just swell. The whole
country is prosperous, especially the
farmer and the lab0ring man. he tells
us. The trouble is, this Republican
prosperity is awful hard TO recognize.

The Republicans tell us that the
rangers have maintained order in tie
state daring the past two years. and
nearly s2l5.oO0 has already been
spent for the support of the
ranger army. But the Republican
legislature in, 1921 appropriated
S2o0.oo1 from the national defense
fund for the suppression Of riots
and insurrcciiuns In calorad" dur
Ing the biennial period. and lot
of that has been spent. too. And don't
forget that this appropriation was en-
tircly distinct from the $3.50 600 ap-
propriatcd from the same fund to sup
port the rangers.

HOW MANY STITCHES IN SUIT?
Some Patient Person Over in England
Has Estimated That They Num-
ber About $4,000.

There are approximately $4,000
stitches In the average mans suit OF
clothes, according to an announce
ment recently made in an English pa
per by some amazingly patient and
observing person, presumably Il tailor.
This result Is reached by the follow
ing calculation.
To the average size pair NJ trousers,
5000 stitches are allotted OF this
number about $500 are machine
made, the rest being made by hand,
chiefly In the form of finishing work
to the waist, pockets and turn-ups, or
cuffs
In the vest or waistcoat there are,
he declares, roughly. $500 stitches
The percentage Of handwork Is higher
In this garment than In the trousers,
the lining usually being put in entire
ly by handmade stitches, as well as
the finishing work. The figures are
3,4OO machine. and 2,10O hand
stitches.
But 1t Il In the coat that the big
totals come. In that garment. he says.
there are, on an average. $1,000
stitches. The pockets and the large
number Of seams account for much
machine work. while the lining and
rennishing entail many handmade
stitches. OF the latter there are more
than 5000 In the average coat. There
are also to be taken into considera-
tion the tacking and fitting stitches.
which, us above announced. brings the
total up to something like a round
$4,000.
