GROWING FOR A CENTURY

The fight between the vets and the
drys continues to be discussed and
much space has been given the con-
troversy since the recent election.
In dealing with the situation editor
tally the Springfield Republican,
among other things, says:
The question now arises whether
the vets will be able to consolidate
their gains before the counter-offen-
sive begins. To consolidate them
quickly. the vets must force the next
Congress to modify the volstead act
An effort to that end will be made.
Attack in the Legislature will also
be directed against the state en-
forcement law put through by Gov.
Miller OF New York. Success may
follow the wet drive at Albany, but
Congress will be d much harder nut
to crack. Smith as governor of New
York would sign a repeal bill, but
President Harding could not be de
pended upon to sign bill legalizing
wine and beer. He, like many con-
gressmen, would have to think Of the
presidential election of 1924 and of
the enormous dry vote in the whole
United States.
II the vets in Congress make
themselves felt as they may be ex-
pected to, prohibition is going back
into politics with a vengeance The
vets are deluding themselves if they
think they have an easy job ahead
Prohibition sentiment has been
growing for a. century. 1t was Grad
led in controversy and was reared
in an atmosphere of conflict II has
sugered many reverses, but it never
surrenders. It is fully capable of form
ing a new political party with pro
hibition as the issue and the con

That Mr. Shanks did not say what

to the fact that in nearly all such

in the mind of any -Amel can familiar
with this country's history. 1t was
in October hundred years ago that
Capt Becknell of Missouri Dedicated
the trail to trade by making the long
trek successfully 10 its western ter
minus.
Tradition has 1t that French
creole broke the trail originally some
eighteen years earlier According to
this story, in 1904, Baptiste La Lande
of KSskaskia, H., adventured south
west to do business with the In
dams and the army posts. But it was
"a lone enterprise, with no immediate
emulators.
Capt. Beckneirs journey stimulated
others TO follow him, and it is said
that in the first year after he had
demonstrated the business POSSIBLE
tiles O, the route the volume of trade
done reached the promising total
fer those times-H $4,000. A few
years later the traffic in merchan-
disc needed six figures to represent
its value.
Becknell used pack mules, each Of
which carried about 200 pounds OF
salable goods. Caravans of from fifty
to a hundred of these sturdy animals
were employed by the earlier traders.
Wagons did not appear on the trail
until 1924, and then the mule gave
place TO oxen-five or six pairs of
which were hitched to the canvas
covered vehicle, bearing freightage
of two tons or mo re.
The thrill OF the journey lay in the
peril Of attack from Indians, who re-
scented the paleface invasion of their
hunting grounds. The traders massed
their wagons in trains of twenty or
thirty, and organized each train to
resist the sudden onslaught of the
Reds. AS they neared the Great
Bend, about 200 miles west of hide
pendence, Kan, vigilance was in
creased. 1t was here and beyond that
the Indian was most MRely to chal-
lenge the vanguard of civilization.
The trail become, in 1916, the mill
tary road of Gen. Kearney, marching
to the conquest of New @exico.
Mighty have been the changes
since those days. Pack mule and can.
vas aravan have gone; the locomO-
=. the automobile, the aeroplane
have come. The journey of weeks has
become one of hours. The Indians no
longer imperil the merchant of his
wares. He has now more to fear from
strikers than from redskins.
But in spite of all changes, the
trail remains. Nature made it; man
follows topography, and there is
much of the history and much of the
picturesque romance of America
strung On the long. winging thread
of the Santa Fe trail.-Chicago Post

AS men survey the untimoly pass
ing of such as Ruper Brooke, Joyce
Kilmer, Alan Seeger, there is inevi
tably the poignant sense of frustra.
ton by deaths hand, of dreams yet
unfulflled, OF great promise not
come to the full flower of realization.
II has sometimes assuaged a human
grief, when the young whom the gods
love go from u with the white rays
Of morn upon their shields of ex-
pectatiOn," to reflect that these, at
any rate, knew not the pain and bit
terness that came TO those who have
outlived the flush of golden promise
and beheld the dawn fade Into the
light Of common day They never
lost their ideals, they never surren.
dered their illusions. The incom
municable raptures were not ended
They went on from strength to
strength
Still nursing the unconquerable
hope.
Still clutchlng the inviolable
shade.
The hour when they said, like the
old guide on the Matterhorn, II can
mott" never came to them. They felt
equal to anything; to the last they
were daring, defiant, ready to ad.
dress themselves to fresh adventures
We are not old until we reach the
age when we are content with our.
selves as we are. II we are never sat
isfied-if we are still eager to learn
we never become aged. A more
splendid thing to see than the radiant
optimism Of youth is the undaunted
ongoing of those who laugh at the
calendar because their wills are
young, and-like Tennyson's "Ulys-
ses'-their purpose holds. It will not
do to spend what are so dismally
named declining" years in review.
Ing, with a greet regret, the bygone
days. Why should they be years OF
declining? Why may they not be
years Of accepting? Not a mere &C
quiescence, not a placid resignation
with hands folded and feet altogeth
er idle. But an acceptance of the
responsibilities referred to our costly
experience and our valuable discre
ton. The elders may be spared those
qllck, physical errands that are bet
ter committed to juniors sound Of
wind and fleet of limb But they have
their own place, their own use and
their peculiar fitness.
The light of a luminous exampl,
shines in shutdown as at sunrise. The
real readiness to die does not consis
in waiting for the end, but in a JOY
full willingness to live, each day. 70
all that there is in it. The beloved
admired "old" people that we know
are not timorous of the open door
They are not tired of life and the
are not afraid Of death-since
admits to life that shall endless be.
