What Is the Use of Life?
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati EnqurerD
 Prof John Uri Lloyd asks and answers this question, which must have presented itself to all thinking minds.
 Prof Lloyd asserts that the usefulness of life lies in sacrifice, in service. in giving to others something that others have not, or may other wise not be able to get.
 Has anyone better answer? Is it not the answer of One who walked with Nature ana Natures God beside the shores of Galilee and on the cedared heights of Palestine, teaching men to consider the lilies of the field?
 And this giving. in the sense here used, is quite apart from the giving of material things How much of love, of sympathy, of sheer human service have you given to others? Such is the standard by which must be measured. Hence we have such Scriptures Tt is more blessed to give than to receive" Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
 Drying tears of is of greater value and importance than the gathering of dollars, the achievement of material ambitions This is what pr. Lloyd means
 Give your good thoughts. Are not thoughts things?" inquires this dever into the secrets of nature and the realm of the metaphysical, of the spiritual.
 He points to the fact that we sometimes think that we outside of natural laws that we carry self to extemes. It is then that Nature gently reminds us of our memorable limitations.
 When Death came tapping the shoulder of the old in an od-time school-book poem, the startled mortal exelaimed: 'So 4soon!''a
 Deaths coming is always soon--too soon in the mortal conception. But late or soon you are but part of complicated system and you must obey the command of the Master of the Mechan- ism which is life and the world. AS Prof Lloyd says, mind can comprehend it. Man can see only little around him. He does not even know the part he is playing Natural laws govern, but natural laws are themselves but part of it all. Says this philosopher, now with clear vision, and unfraid facing the problem of the future: We are a part, as look upon it. of a policy beginning know not where. going we know not whither It is the present that con eerns us. If do well our part of that present, need worry but little concerning the future It will take of itself"
 Has anyone told truer thing? Did Jesus teach any different thing than that?
 It is ours to ennobe the present with faith and service: it is the part of the future to accept our essayment under the sanctions of infinite justice and that greater thing than justice love.

MIR. HAYS RECALLS.

It was peculiar reasoning that was advanced by Will Hays, former Chairman of the kepuDil- can National Committee and now Movie Czar' to explain his failure to fully inform the walsh Investigating Committee regarding the Sinclair donations Even admitting that the excuses ne sets up are genuine, it would seem that he was more anxious to keep certain facts, whether inn portant or not concealed than to enlighten the committee in it's efforts to find out what had bappened with the millions involved in the Tea mt Dome Oil deal. In 1924 MT Hays told the committee that Sinclair had donated s75,o0O toward defraying the Republican campaign e1- penses of 1920. So far as he informed the com mittee at that time that was all of Sinclairs donations.
 Four years elapsed in which Senator walsh held doggedly to the slimy oil trail. Fact after fact was uncovered; that there were $24,ooO in bonds from the famous Continental Oil deal went to the Republican National Committee; that an other s75OOO went to Senator T. Coleman du pont who helped liquidate the 1920 campaign deficit estimated at $1,600,000. Again MT Hays was called And this time he tells the com mttee that Sinclair handed him $260,ooo ln bonds after the lease to Teapot Dome had been awarded to him Of this sum, Mr. Hays now says S1OO.000 was returned to Sinclair and the remainder applied to the campaign deheit. lie exnlained he had remained silent in 1924 be- cause the Committee only questioned him about the s75 000 deal and further he had expected to return the entire $26o,0OO to the weaithy oil man. Granting that such was his intention tbe fact remains it was not done and no word about the transaction was said by him voiuhlarny although the committee has been working con tinuously since that time to uncover the hnanclai transactions regarded suspicious, unethcal ana possibly illegal Whether consciously or not ne made the work of the investigators more difficult and in the end did not add to the prestge or either himself or the party which he representeu'
