no 1.-THE Of the multitudinous maladies
under which civilization grunts and goes
limping to the grave. Heaven? No, we
speak now of things sublunary. 1t is
a land on our own troubled planet, en-
folded amidst the far Himalayas and
peopled by ga tribe of magnificent ply
sique, preserving until late in life the
characteristics Of youth unusually fertile,
with stable nerves.
The clause quoted is from accounts by
recent observers of this remarkable folk;
and in the next line comes the secret of
their felicity. ''Their bodies are vigor-
ously exercised in the clean, cool open
air and bathed in sunlight. Their food
is milk and eggs, grains, fruits and 1eafy
vegetables" So long-lived are they and so
high their birth rate that, as a preven-
tive of over-population, the exceedingly
aged are dispatched to the otherwhere-
by not ungentle means. Touching this
custom reports are not explicit, but one
is led to infer that years which would
be called "aged'' amongst us would be
considered by them as hey-dey of vigor
Did .Methuselah fare upon milk and
eggs, grains fruits and leafy vegetables
and therefore celebrate his nine hundred
and sixty-ninth birthday? That he added
open air and sunlight in shining plenty
to his regimen is not to be doubted. Since
his generation the calendar has changed
more than once, so that the length of his
years may have differed considerably from
that of ours. Howbeit, Methuselah needs
must have been of prodigious age to have
won mention amongst patriarchs in the
Great History; and certainly he was free
from nervous dyspepsia, else merciful Prov
| idence would have cut short his span
II not for his own sake, then out of
consideration for the good people about
him.
Littue virtue there may be in living
| long, but vast deal in living soundIy
while one is sat it. That volumes now
should be required even to catalogue the
ills that our modern flesh is heir to and
| is acquiring day by day is a most ironical
| commentary on what we call civilization
Mans cleverness has outrun his wisdom,
and in excess of artistry he too often
forgets the primal springs of strength
and beauty-sun and sky, singing waters
and winds and quiet stars, and all things
not made by hands.

GOVERNMENT BY SPECIAL
INTERESTS
By DR.. Frank Crane

One of the dangers of democracy Is govern
ment by special interests.
Like all living things. democracy fares for
ward on it's dim and perilous way. menaced
by infinite dangers. The continuous miracle
is the persistence Of life There are thou
sand reasons why. everything that is alive
should have died long ago.
Doubtless democracy will win past every
peril eventually, but that should not make us
shut eyes to the things that threaten it.
And one of the chief minatory elements in
the situation is the influence exerted upon
government by compact minorities.
That is the dark feature of the tariff bill.
Most citizens Of the United States are in favor
Of some sort of tariff. But it is the way the
tariff made that is alarming.
When the tariff on wool is advocated by
men who are themselves owners of great
flocks, and the tariff on sugar by those heav-
lily interested in beet sugar, and so, we see
government moulded not for the public but
for private advantage. The bonus may or may
not be good thing but what is bad thing
is to see the men that will directly profit
from the bonus organizing together to cajole
and threaten congress.
In the governments relation toward indus
try, one special group interested in capital
and investments maintains a vigorous lobby,
and another special group composed of labor
leaders is liberal in threatening gestures.
And then we have an incipient effort to
| solidify the woman vote, the wet vote, the
negro vote, the German vote, and probably in
time shall have the red-haired vote and
the hunchback vote.
| Government by party lends itself easily to
the power exerted by these special groups A
party is essentially an organization whose end
and aim is to get office. It's meat and drink
| are spoils.
| Men who are elected consider themselves to
| be under obligations to their party first, and
| to the nation after
The pity Of all this is that it is characters
tically American. We take it all as matter
of course, and we pooh-pooh and pish-tush
any one that suggests that can run a gov
eminent on any other principle but that Of
graft.

MAKE MOMENTS COUNT
By H. Addington Bruce

You complain that the work you are doing
gives you no opportunity to rise. You COM
| plain that 1t Is so exacting, so arduous, that
| you do not even have time to apply your
self to studies that would develop your mind
and help to emancipate you from what you
| regard as a form of slavery.
when I get home at night" you lament,
II feel too weary aqd listless to turn my at
tention to anything. All I can do is to rest
| for the grind next day."
Is that all you actually do? OF course,
you explain, you sometimes seek rest through
! attendance at the theater or the moving pic
| ture hall, etc. Surely, you protest, you have
right to aid yourself to rest through harm
| less entertainment such as that?
Most certainly you have. But, would a.
| spectfully suggest, yyur ability, after hard
| days work. to concentrate attention on cards,
| to make more or less fatiguing journey to
| the theater, proves that really you are not so
| tired as you imagine.
Also it proves that you very we'll could,
| If you sincerely desired to progress, give at
| least an evening or two week to the read
| you mind, making you NOR of a thinker
as well as better informed, and thus putting
| you the more surely line for advancement
even in the work you find CALLING.
Or, il you cannot bring yourself to yield
any of the evening playtime you covet, you
| can at least utilize odd moments for self-de-
| velopment.
I might name to- you a number of emil
nent men-laWyers, business men, leaders
| in all manner of callings-who thus make
moments count even after their longings for
success have been amply realized.
They go about carrying in heir pockets
little books-poetry, essays, epigrams, NINA
ture biographies, and SO forth-to which
they eagerly turn in any intervals Of release
form their workaday duties.
Instead of idly sitting about, yawning,
looking out of the window, they read, If it
be but for five minutes at time. And in
five minutes, the reading being efficiently
done, a surprising amount may be added to
ones mental stock
Initiate them. Make moments Of leisure
moments for growth. And in addition con-
trive to give yourself, at least occasionally,
longer periods of reading, study, and reflec-
ton.
Do this, else candidly admit that you do
not wish to get on in the world nearly as
ardently as you wish to have easy time
in the world.
Recognize thai your ambition-craving Is
negligible compared with your pleasure-crav-
ing. Then reconcile yourself to the routine,
uninspiring round of work and play, of hum
drum mediocrity, which must be your lot so
long as the pleasure-craving dominates.

Ire7and's Friends and Foes

10 keen and disinterested an observer as
Archbishop Curley, Of Baltimore, de-
clares after visit to his old home in
Ireland, that fully 95 per cent of the people
there are heartily behind the established gov
eminent; that they want the peace treaty
and the Free State;" and that de Valera
and his irregular followers are bent on
destruction, are killing, burning,
and wrecking Ireland as far as they can"
But altogether the most lamentable aspect
of the situation, in the Archbishop's view, is
that "De Valera and his wreckeIs are re-
ceiving help from supposed friends of Ire
land in America"
Some years ago, or as recently as last
which these supposed friends could justify
their course, from their own point of vision
But now there is no semblance Of reason
able or an honorable excuse. The electorate
Of Ireland has spoken decisively for the
treaty with Britain and for the home gov
eminent now striving to maintain order with
freedom and to promote prosperity. The
thinkers of the country, the leaders in in
dustry and commerce, the builders and far
seeing patriots, together with the toiling
rank and file, are united for peace and for
construction. Against them is a minority
which is quite credibly represented as made
up, for the most part, Of added fanatics,
anarchists and outright criminals. These
were the murderers of Michael Collins
These are the followers of De Valera. These
are the beneficiaries Of the help contributed
by supposed friends Of Ireland in America"
But the Free State bids fair to survive it's
enemies at home and abroad. The martyrdom
Of Collins appears to have aroused tremen-
dous revulsion against the red minority and
to have cemented afresh the countrys con-
structive elements Given a season of quiet
and of general cooperation, Ireland should
develop a prosperity in which the De Valera
type will find scant flame or fuel, and in
which freedom will yield ever-increasing
fruits of progress. Home rule at last has
been vouchsafed in full and trimming
measure. May it be used to the happiness
and glory of Ireland.

THE DESERT tanner
BY JOHN BROCK

If you journey from coast to coast by the
southern route you have your choice Of three
desert crossings. The Mojave, between
Needles and San Bernardino, is the longest
and easiest. The Imperial, from Yuma to
San Diego, is the shortest and the hottest
It's unpaved going is likewise briefer-and
worse You pass much beautiful country
among the mountains, but it's desert stretches
are painfully plain. For sheer enjoyment of
the desert at its loveliest, take me at my
word, and go the blythe to Mecca" route.
The more intimately you know it the more
strongly you feel its allure, though, like the
Grand Canyon, it defies description. One
writes of it only to tempt others to try it's
fascination for themselves. There are al
ways the same vast stretches of tawny sand
bordered and broken by the bristling crags
or desert ranges, dotted with solitary peaks,
and ringeo with cones Of volcanoes so recent
ly extinct that the black lava which poured
down their sides still lies there cracked into
great blocks by the sun and frost. But east
of Blythe there is always color, vivid, garish
the crimson of cactus fruit, the vermilion
flower or orange seed pods of the candle
wood, the living green of palo verdes and
mequite, the maroon Of the barrel-cactus, or
the aureate haze Of the choya, standing
against a background Of blood-red rock or
ebony lava with an opalescent flash where
the sun SCrlK0S us QOllSU0Q IdC0 ana all
astir with the tiny living things that dwell
therein.
Its one ugly spot is the bed of dry lake,
where perpetual wind drifts the gray-white
alkali dust as level as snow over the ruts
gouged deep in it's barren mud last spring I
tried it times a-plenty, backed my car out,
and tried it again, strangled as fish trying
to swim in pea soup until at last I managed
to flounce clear and breathe the clean air be-
yond.
But this isn't the desert crossing they
speak about. That bit begins when you
cross the Colorado River at Blythe. A blum
dering barge swung ), wire watts you over
the viscid flood. Then you begin eighty miles
of sand which the creosote bush has just COM
menced to tame. It Is not the hard-packed
sand of the Arizona side, with splintered
rocks to hold it down. It Is sand pure and
unadulterateu, with all its devilishness intact.
It slides and slips and wallows, mandates the
spokes of your wheels If ever you leave the
wavering burrows ploughed by your prede-
| cessors, the chances are you will have to dig
your way back in again. You will take six
hours to do tor spring your spokes trying
to follow the curves only side-winder snake
is designed to travel.
know what the bottom is like in the
murkiest depths Of the sea, where no fish
swims-it's like the crossing from Blythe to
Mecca. I know the looks of the cavern where
the sea serpent lurks-it's like the great six
mile box. cavern at the Mecca end, its steep
sides carved by blasts of sand and smelted by
the sun into grotesquer outline than ever
sullen ground-swell wore. And then pave
ment begins.
