New Ideas.


It is a difficult matter to draw
the golden mean between conserva-
tism and radicahsm.
Many people begin to hurrah for
every new idea suggested for pol
itical and economic reform. The
theoretical arguments for such in
novations look plausible to them, and
they never think of possible objec-
tons. They agitate violently for such
ideas, and condemn politicians and
parties if their proposals are not
promptly accepted.
Other people 60 to the opposite
extreme. They regard the world as
a pretty comfortable place as it is.
and view new ideas with hostility.
Both attitudes are wrong. The
country is full of evils that need
reform People must examine sug-
gestions with hopeful and open
mind. But before rushing to the
support Of every new idea, it is well
to ask how they have worked in
practice. and how they fit in with
ordinary human nature.

AlITTLf TALK On THRIFT

Il IS well to bear in mind that one
Of the greatest sources Of human
happiness is work. And this is truth
that could be more widely learned
to advantage
Too many follow the rule that the
more work they can avoid the greater
will be their happiness.
There is no happiness in idleness.
Waste Of time is a form of thrift
lessness that IS as destructive of
rightful pleasure as waste of money
or waste of health.
Work alone brings happiness. be-
cause work is creative and upbuild
ing.
All the instinct of the human race
which have been responsible for
humanity's development have found
their fulfillment only in work.
In every realm of mans activity.
whether it be spiritual, mental or
physical, human experience has
shown that progress alone has come
through work.
This does not mean that there is
no rightful place in life for play, or
that diversion is not in accordance
with good thrift. 1t is a matter
of common sense that life can not be
made up entirely Of labor. There
would be little if any progress in a
material way under such conditions.
and, in the finer things of life, there
would be absence of all development.
You cannot transform a man into
machine and get human results.
But, within the bounds of the
average routine Of life, work brings
the most satisfying happiness-work
that is right, upbuilding and helpful.
DO not allow an ambition for idle
ness to spring up in your heart.
Wasting time never, under any
circumstances, can bring lasting Joy.
1t is not dissimilar to all other un-
thrifty practices.
Happiness through work is one of
the fundamentals that can be con-
tinually counted on. 1t is a splendid
type of true, constructive thrift.

NATIVE PENNSYLVANlANS

MORE than IS per cent Of the population
Wl of Pennsylvania was born within the
boundaries Of the Commonwealth, according
20 the recently compiled figures of the last
census, Il would be interesting to know
how many citizens of other States were
horn in Pennsylvania.
The great migratory period came to a
dose many years ago, but there is still!
constant moving of population from one
State to another. There are l3l 900 per-
sons born in New York who are living in
this State and $4,000 native Murylanders
81, 600 virginians. $4,000 Jerseyites and
n, 900 Ohioans. II has. been easy for them
TO move across the border. Native Penn
sylvanians have gone into these States to
lixe and they have gone into the West also.
How many hundred thousand Of them t-ers
are no one knows, but there certainly are
enough to fill big city.
The native. born population ot even '5e
newer States is increasing all the time. b.:
the proportion born in other States IS, of
course, much larger than that in PsnLs!.-
vsnia. We have a setued Homogeneous
