The Pessimistic
Influence

Being a pessimist has its attractions
but 1t also has It's penalties. The bit.

attitude brings n a Fascinating feel.

the short run It also brings wrinkles.
The superiority of the pessimist is
OF an intellectual character. OF course.
1t is extended toward the common
sort of people who hustle about their
tiresome business as II It mattered.
actually convinced, poor s!mps. that
life is worth living.
No belief could be more absurd in
the eyes OF the pessimist. He hugs
the conviction that he knows life like
n book and a penetrated the hollow
heart Of its utter unworth. The sole
consolation left for him. next to graft

is to win a reputation oy s~aturnine
wit n tease out ready laughs from
an admirIng circle with his gIbes at
orthodox values.
And that encourages the march of
the wrinkles, for the pesslmist with
an audience ncentuates his ~favorite
expressions. Habitual depreciation for
instance, pulls down the of
the mouth. purses the lips up un-
der the nose. dIlates the nostriIs. half

snarl and wrinkles up the forehead
in siminn disdain.
But h poor pessimist does not
realize for a long time what he Is DO
ing to his face. He doesn't see his
own habitual expressions, because it's
a law Of human nature that when we
look In a mirror we assume our most
placid and pleasing expression.
So, when he goes to shave in the
morning. the pessimist brlghtens up
and looks kindly at himself, and I'm
AGNES that is the way he looks at

Casting SUSPICION on Industru

THE modern politician and public regulator is a
l. big man and looks for big targets at which to
fro his twenty-five ammunition. In the last few
years there have been numerous oil Investigations
by state legislatures and by national congress. In
fact there ia an oil investigation now in progress
melted by possibly the worst demagogue in either
branch, Senator LaFollette.
And the wonder is why congress permits this
common disturbcr to spend the peoples money
to carry on his foolish investigations and crafty
his imaginary grievances at public expense. If the
oil business were not generally sound and clean it
would not prosper and certainly would not have
attained its present great proportions. A great
industry, cannot be successfully established upon
fraud and delusion. And the idea Of LaFolletto
and his Xix is to bring the oil industry TO tho same
level the railroads reached by the constant nag.

latures and the national congress,

work for dissatisfaction among uniformed peo-

and Islander of honorable men.
If any oil investigation ever got anywhere, ever
brought out Of it any constructive or helpful policy
for the people, we would all be more patient with
them. So far as unbiased observation goes they
have produced nothing but a heavy bill Of ex.
pense to taxpayers and the industry attacked.

The Sucker List

T STS Of men and women are made up and sold
IL as persons who are easily gullible in the mat
ter Of selling worthless stocks and bonds and Wis
ionary securities of various kinds.
Promoters and stock brokers of shady reputation
and unreliable performance use these lists to un,
load all kinds of easy money propositions, paying
fabulous dividends.
Even holders of government bonds are cata'
logued in the "sucker list" If, as occasionally oc
ours, their names we're obtainable.
The monetary help bestowed by the lists is that
to the finmkrat-T---tes and sharks they show who
are investors or who have funds.

contain a salary of ten thousand n year for the
governor for two years instead Of eighteen thous.
and as allowed by law, but that If tho state had
enough to pay Its bills two years hence, he would
accept for the ensuing biennlum the full salary.
The governor said he felt he would be earning
every cent, but that this was no time to raise sal.

If Legislatures would follow this example, cut out

no matter how vicious. how wrong or
how destructive.
Therefore. the great and almost
few. the pioneers of the new order
of things, is to break down and re-
move, through educational processes
of various kinds, the great bulk of
the thinking and living habits. Of
people in every stratum Of life. This
can be done by turning on the new
light and by simplifying and ex-
planning fundamental truth as we
are beginning to understand 1t in re-
lation to the life and health of the
Individual.
To begin with, we must stop COM
batting disease and thinking or dis
case terms; we must break away
obscuring and misleading language
and from arrogance and prejudice.
Then there should be established a
few simple; basic principles Of life
cal and mental Such a formula, once
placed upon a simple, scientific and
workable basis. could then be offered
and taught those whose minds and
better things Tens of millions of
people here in our own country are
yearning and cropping for just such
thing, and the trend of our best
minds is in that direction.
Our Individual health and happi-
ness; our economic stability and
progress. as well as our national Sc
curity and integrity, depand upon d
sane working out of some broad and

to prove or disprove a principle. In
sick and sorrowing world, drifting
ever deeper into the abyss of dis
limitless induldence thereof, lies the
disproof OF the life principles to

KEN IN RAID ON NORTH
SIDE SEE MAYOR DEVER.

CHICAGO.-A number of socially
prominent women who were gathered
in a raid on fashionable dancing
place in North Side street known as
the Tent" early Sunday morning,
have protested to Mayor Dever and
asked him to place a curb on the &C
tivities of the police raiding squads.
Eighty-one men and Al women were
taken IN the raid. Forty of Chicago's
most prominent citizens were hauled
to the police station in patrol wagons.
The ladies, most OF whom were quick
witted enough not to give their cor
rect names, have decided that it is on
ly good craftsmanship to come out
those of the men.
Mrs. Harry Fiheld, who was taken
in the raid with her husband, presi-
dent OF the firm OF Fiheld and Stevens,
said she had been to see the mayor
and had been assured that the case
would be dismissed when it was heard
on Friday.
But l am not sure that this will

we want is assurance that an outrage
such as we were subjected to in The
Tent will not be repeated. If we can't
have such assurance, how can we in
