The World and All
MOST LIVES
By Charles 4. DriseoIl


Most lives conform to a life pattern that does moi
vary greatly in essentials. There is JOY and sorrow
There is pleasure and pain. There is success, and there
is failure. There is ambition, love, hope. yearning
There is hatred, repining. remorse. sadness, defeat
There is friendship. satisfaction, celebration, victory.
Most lives begin hopefully, no matter what the cir
cumstances Of birth and rearing. The extent of tho
individuals ambition, and the nature Of it, are Deepen
dent upon the environment and something within the
person himself, but ambition buds with youth and flow.
es somewhat later.
Most lives develop through the years Of youthful
hope and ambition, and settle down to acceptance OF
conditions after bodily vigor begins to wane. Some
thing is accomplished. but in most lives that some
thing Is far less than ambition and hope looked for
ward 10.
In most lives there come hours when the individual
feels encouragement, and wonders whether the strug-
gle is worth while. This descending OF the black hours
is happily omitted from some lives. but in most lives
il comes. sooner or later.
Into most lives comes establishment. Youth is in
spired by illusions. Youth readily believes that all
friends are s~teadfast, that all love is eternal. that all
friendship is ~unselfish. and that all sleeps clothing
clothes sheep. In most lives the illusions die hard. In
most lives bitterness follows establishment.
Into most lives comes Love, war and radiant and
splendid. Most lives are transformed by Love, and
moSb souis VII out ol Love the compensation tnat eNenS
all scores and makes even adversely sweet and tender
The tragedy Of most lives Is the lack Of full appre-
citation of Love. For into most lives comes a roper
cussion to the e%nnobling force of Love. That which BY
subtle alchemy began to turn earth into paradise, itself
turns bitter and suffers a fading Of it's glorious hues
Most lives would be happier if the individual real.
lied the necessity for preserving romance, for appre-
ciating the rose-tint, for loving beauty, and for cling
ing fast to Love. Most lives would be less drab if the
individual would pause to gaze earn silly upon the
beauty about him. md would sum up his good fortune
as often as he stops to count his lis. Most lives are
drab because the individual expects much Of life. but
never meditates upon the greatness # the portion that
is his. Not until i'll health strikes down the body does
the average individual pause to oxult in the glory OF
n healthy body and an active mind.
Most lives would he brighter IL illusion were taker
as natural education. instead Of as punishment. Wher
the veil Of illusion is torn away. the scene is not neces
sarily black and horrid. Only the self-pity Of the in
dividual causes il to appear SO. The new scene IL NOR,
beautiful than the cid, because more Of tn. light OIL
truth shines upon il.

democrats and "lily white" republicans win NO longer
be witnessed.
This is the new republican strategy, NJ il is out
lined by The Enterprises Washington correspondent.
B. NJ. Timmons. 1t is q form Of strategy well adapted
to the building up in the south Of q republican party
that will command public respect and be something
more than q machine for distributing the spoils OF
office.
The republicans will succeed in consolidating their
southern gains IL the democratic boilers are willing 10
help. What will the Hoover democrats say to the
republican plan. which il attributed to Mr.. Hoover. for
giving the south two political parties, where only one
existed before? The greater part Of the heavy vote re-
ceived by Mr.. Hoover in the south was democratic
Are the democrats who bolted prepared TO remain in
the republican fold? Will they turn their backs for
ever on the party of their fathers and fight under the
banner of reaction and privilege?
II is true that in many respects there is little diff
ference between the policies of the democratic and re-
publican parties, but there is still enough difference
between the two parties to warrant a continuation OF
the present biparty system.
Southern democrats who bclted their party ticket n
the national election will have some momentous de-
cisions to make within the next twelve months. On
those decisions may depend to a large extent the fu-
ture Of the democratic party.

AGRICULTURAL FIGHT
DIE TO START AGAIN

WASHINGTON, Nov. f2.-Elec.
tion out Of the way, very soon the
fight will be raging again over agri-
cultures distress.
Not that any group in Washington
IL going to deny that agriculture Is
in acute distress. The difficulty
will be to decide what ought TO be
done TO relieve Il.
In reality, everybody with a lick OF
sense knows what the matter is.
However, it was the height of bad
form to mention 1t. while the cam
pEign was IN. Both parties agreed
on that. Now IL is not quite so tact
less to recognize various facts.
Manufacturing-except a few in
dustries like New England textiles,
which have not kept up with the
times: commerce-except a few small
traders who are being crowded oft
Of business by chain stores; labor
except a few millions of workers
whom modem machinery has de-
prived OF jobs
All these are vastly inflated.
The industries get a great deal
more for their products, the middle
men make far larger profits on their
turnover. and labor draw much high
er wages than any Of them would re-
ceive, were it not for the tremen-
dous pressure Of protection" gas

Yet il stands to reason that some
considerable element out of our
population must remain uninflatec

That is. somebody must be left to
pay the gas bill.

to carry out the decision of the last
convention of the international union
to establish joint board of all the
millinery locals in the city. The com
mittee was also instructed by the
membership to report back to them
at meeting to be held soon.
This motion was carried despite the
threat made by zaritsky that no
matter whaa the membership may
desire, the decision of the general
board must stand.
By their overwhelming protest the
membership denounced the plans of
tha right wing to wreck the entire
union rather than see progressive ele-
ments in leadership Of locals which
have rapidly developed into vital
factors because of their tremendous
increase in membership.
Despite the fact that the union
membership is entirely composed of
young girls, and therefore without
experience of trade union struggle,
they have rallied enthusiastically to
the defense of their union from the
attacks of reactionary union leaders
as we'll as their bosses.

troll of Millinery Local I'd, have called
