A Question Often
Asked

An out-of-town reader, one
who thinks as he reads and OBJ
serves life's passing drama,
writes:
"A friend Of mine died re-
Gently. He was in his fifties, an
active man, filled with zest for
life, a man of family, success
full, a good citizen.
On my way to work | drive
past the city infirmary. There
/ see doddering old men Of little
use to society or themselves.
Doubtless, some Of them would
rather be dead. My active, use
full friend dies; they live on.
Why2
"A Friend. "
The man died in accord with
some natural law imposed by
the Creator of All for the Good
of All. This explanation must
be accepted. or it must be adj
mitted that the little dot in time
called human life is merely a
tremendous and most brutal
joke. p A
What law was violated IS en-
tirely another question, a ques-
ton that is being more and more
understood through the progress
of the sciences. We have
learned, for instance, why yell
low fever carried off thousands
of the able-bodied, and often
lett the weak and debilitated.
Life is full of the mysteries
with which His wonders are per-
formed and human progress will
be at a standstill when we cease
to study and discover the why Of
them and adopt ourselves to the
good that in them.
The difference between a
man dead in his fifties and a
has been in an infirmary may
lie in what the two had at birth
and how they lived, and nc sin
gle instance of seeming unwis-
dom or injustice impeaches the
Great Purpose.

Stop, Look and Listen

Not one automobile driver in
a hundred slows up, looks and
listens for the coming train as
he crosses the railroad tracks;
still fewer come to a stop.
The toll in human lives is
growing; it is enormous-all be-
cause a few seconds of delay is
not given. The Embarrassing
has become one Of the greatest
factors in the loss of life.
In the Kiwanis Bulletin we
found this story in verse, from
the pen of "Punkin Spinning:"
he was speeding in his flivver,
rushing eastward by the river.
he was giving lerching lizzie all
the gas that he Good give
her,
till he jammed upon the brake,
makeing lizzie snort q shake.
but the trane came roaring on
him; he had made his last
mistake.
he got stalled upon the track;
haddent time to start or back.
SO he made heroic effert to aban-
don his old hack.
all to soon he breethed his last,
for the trane was much too
fast;
he was greeting old st. Peter
by the time three coaches
passed.
never more he'll speed his fliv-
yer,
uric it eastward by the river;
nevermore will he give lizzie all
the gas that he can give her.
after he was struck that day
he soon stopped, but pee
pull say
that he'll never look & lissen,
cause he's too darned far
away.
This world is too beautiful tc
leave. Stop, look and listen

years longer.

Perhaps few people realize
that, in all ITS predictions, the
national weather service is SO per

Yet these figures are said to
be established by long observation
and careful notification in the
five districts in which the terri

vided for meteorological pur-
poses. Since there are few hu,

Poor Bill

Some are incapable of 'sus-
tanned thought" Others fail to
think straight and accurately,
Few of us get the best there is in
our brains.
A 20-pound muskellunge was
hooked by fisherman in Spar
row Lake, Ontario, Canada. He
landed it in his rowboat. Now,
a 20-pound 'lunge in "a row
boat is about as genial and ac-
tive as a wildcat,
This fisherman we'll call him
Bill, was alone in his boat-no
one to advise. Also, he was
city Teller, and never before
caught anything a fourth as big.
Nothing in his rowboat to kill the
lunge" by whack behind the
eyes. But he happened to have
loaded shotgun.
So he blew off its head-aIso
blew a big hole in the bottom
Of his boat.
Bill saw danger ahead. He
started his brain cells to working
but his brain stopped too
soon. The fish may have been
a bit dangerous, but the water
was sure death to one who could
not swim, and Bill couldn't. An
Ojibway Indian was forced to
rescue Bill or he would have
drowned among the weeds.
Train your brain to go beyond
the immediate danger.

An Unpublished Letter

The Democrats hope to win
the fall elections. Their faith
is pinned on three things-their
candidates, Republican misrule
as evidenced by the oil and vet
Grams bureau scandals and the
tariff. OF the three, the people
will be more interested in the
latter, as it represents the great
est of all taxes placed on their
shoulders.
The Philadelphia Record
e publishes the following letter
which farmers throughout the
country are NOT receiving be-
cause it is NOT being broad
cast by the Republican National
Committee by way of confess
sion and apology
"Dear Mr.. Farmer:
''In order to secure the sup
port Of the manufacturing inter-
ests for the Republican canGi-
date in the 1920 campaign, it
was necessary for us to pledge
an Increase IN tariff rates.
eve were, of course, aware
that this would be injurious to
your interests by increasing the
prices of nearly everything you
consume, thus taking money out
of your pockets and putting it
into the pockets Of the manu-
facturerers.
"For the purpose Of securing
your assent to this program, so
prejudicial to your prosperity,
we promised to let you in on the
tariff swag by placing a duty of
30 cents a bushel on wheat. We
represented to you that this duty
would insure a high price for
wheat and thus compensate you
for the losses our tariff was go
ing to inflict upon you.
Eve did this very reluctantly,
because we knew that sooner or
later you would find us out; but
without your votes we could not
win, and we felt that the end
justified the means.
eve are now obliged to con-
fess-because you know it-that
a duty on wheat is useless to you,
and that in spite of our 30-cent
duty, wheat is selling for less
than it did when it was on the
free list.
1--WE regret exceedingly that
we buncoed you, because we
have now lost your confidence,
and the next time we ask you to
pull our chestnuts out of the fire,
even though we invent brand
new device to hornswoggle you,
you will probably turn a deaf ear
to our representations.
Trusting that it is not incon-
venient to you to pay the high
prices for what you consume
made possible by the tariff you
helped us to put over, we are,
Every truly yours,
Republican National Commit
tee"
No such letter will reach the
farmers, but between Bob La
Toilette and the Democratic
candidate the farmers of the
country will hear whisperings,
loud talk and shouts that will
give them the gist of such a let
ter.

The La Toilette partnership dates
hack to the DAYS Immediately fol
lowing their marriage IN Madison
Wis. ia 1881. Prior to that time
through their college years, they had
been rivals, each seeking to excel
the other in scholastic honors.
La Toilette had entered the Uni
versity of Wisconsin from tAe
small town Of Primrose.
Miss Belle Case, who was latter
to become Mrs. La Toilette, ma
circulated the same year, from
the village of Baraboo.
Both were interested IN history,
political economy, theories of gov
eminent and similar subjects.
Young La Toilette wasn't going
to let any girl get ahead of him,
so he pitched into his studies-Mith
addpd vim. Miss Case, who as
Mrs. La Toilette was later to be-
come an active advocate of woman
suffrage, set out to show that a
girl could know as much about
politics and government as any
boy.
The scholastic race was tie.
! Meanwhile, the competition when
first brought dislike soon changed
the attitude of each of the young
folks to respect, then to admiry-
ton. Before graduation, Dan
Cupid had ended all rivalry with
one Of his well-placed arrows.
The next document they sought
after getting their diplomas was a
marriage license.
And that fall they both entered
law school
When La Toilette set up as a law
yer, Mrs. La Toilette became a
working member of the firm. Sna
brIefed cases, acted as index chief
dld much Of the research necessary
IN preparing cases for trial.
This position as right-hand as
slstant to her husband She still
holds.
An alert, rather stocky, gray
haired but energetic woman Of tbc
so-called intellectual type, Mrs
La Toilette has not had to MAXI
her husbands interests her inter.
ests. They have been that from
the first.
So next to Bob himself, "Mrs.
Bob" will have the biggest say in
how to attack the problems of the
Independent campaign.
