THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

In his talks he pictures the most
modern-seeming people, men OF AL
types, who would Be As ct home on r
street or Broadway today IS they were
in Rome 40 centuries ago.
1t Is a curious parade Of figures which
pass before the reader in his discourses.
There Is the bore who insists on telling
about his military campaigns. Il told
you, brother, how ! got Up the hill.
Then they began. to surround me
again"
And there is the gay young blade who
visited Epictetus out OF mere curiosity.
Every college and university In the
United States knows his kind.
There Is the ostentatious would-be
philosopher who Is so eager to be ac-
cepted az q wise man that he runs out
around the statue of Platol
There Is the man who talks gTavely Of
the way in which an insignificant fell
low, exalted by Caesar, talked to him
very Sensibly," when all the hearers
knew that without the magic touch of
Caesar the man would never have
spoken to the fellow.
There IL the discontented student and
the man who seeks increased earnings
shrinks from doing what duty COM
mands.
These are few of the very human.
very real men the reader meets In this
very old book. If he is not thrown off
the track by bit Of difficulty.
We of today who think that the
movement for world peace is some
thing very, very modern" viii find It
interesting to read the discourse of
Epictetus in which he speaks of "the
great peace which Caesar has given u.s. &"
The Roman peace" was a very real
thing. It must be recalled that the
Roman Empire at one time was some
5000 miles by 1000 miles. taking in the
entire Mediterranean Basin and extend
ing as far north as Britain.
As Epictetus puts It. There are no
longer wars, nor battles, nor bands of
robbers. nor Of pirates. but man may
travel at every season and sail from
East TO West.

We have seen the statement some
where (probably in one of Bruce Bar
tons books) that there Is nothing about
which the average modern man speaks
less to others than his church, his
religion. his ideas Of morality.
Thousands Of men. however, feel very
deeply upon the entire subject, and are
willing 10 read where they do not talk,
because reading may be done In private.
whereas even a little talk Is more or
less public.
In like fashion few men today seem
willing to enter into abstract considera-
tions of morals in public. yet are per-
fectly willing and ready 10 read about
such things.
To all such we commend the Dis
courses" Of Epictetus II they know 1t
not. There are so manv books in the
world, both old and new. that 1t is no
disgrace for any one person to be totally
unacquainted with son re one or the
other of the best Of them.
Absolute knowledge Is impossible and
it's pretense Il absurd. Many men and
women who would love Epictetus for
his downright honesty and common
sense, his kindness and love. his human
sympathy, have not yet been drawn to
his "Discourses"
Let us paraphrase the old-fashioned
"foreword" and say that II anything
that we have written will lead but one
human being to read the "Discourses"
| we will not have written in vain.

1925, in place of William S. Ware, Sena-

more for the Senate Republicans 70
worry about. The Ware case is due to
come up as soon as the Senate meets
It is pretty we'll understood that the
Senate will not agree to seat Mr.. Ware,
on the theory that his nomination and
election were tainted with fraud and
the expenditure of excessive sums OF
money. The contest OF Mr.. Wilson
against Ware, however, has generally
been considered more or less Of closed
incident and that It would be thrown
out. However, IL the coalition" which
Is violently opposed to the attitude Of
Pennsylvania Republican leaders toward
the tariff, should undertake TO seat Will
son very different situation would
arise.

On Vacation.

Brought a pleasant smile,

HAPPINESS MUST
 BE TRACKED

The older we get the more it seems to us that happiness is nearly always a rebound from hard work. It is one of the fol- lies of men to imagine that they can enjoy mere thought, or emotion, or sentiment! As we'll try to eat beauty! For happiness must be tricked! !! She loves to see men at work. She loves sweat, weariness and sacrifice. She is found oftenest, not in palaces, but lurking in cornfields and factories and lowering over filtered desks 1; she crowns the unconscious head of the busy child. If you look up suddenly from hard work you will see her, but if you look too long she fades sor- rowfully away.

FRIENDS

Listening to a local party ex- patiate on the failings of his friends the other day, memory suddenly recalled the aphro- ism that friends are people who have seen each other at their worst and can still toler- ate each other.
 It is commonly assumed that as relations are born to one and friends are of ones own making there is a premium on friends. The unfortunate part about this is that while people are not responsible for their re- lations they are responsible for their friends, a responsibility that is often unbearable.
 Friends are supposed to be people to whom one may turn for help in time of trouble or need, and yet a true friend is never supposed to impose upon his friends. Often friends in- deed" strike from their lists of friends those who are friends in need"
 Though not always available in crisis, friends are frequent ly exceedingly conscientious about the minor functions of their office. They repeat to us all the unflattering things oth- CTS say behind our backs and make us the butt of jokes, crit icisms and admonitions. All with friendly intent, of course, and in a spirit that would re- sent deeply any implication of a lack of true friendliness.
 Friendships are, SO to speak, acquaintances which have taken" Or perhaps it is more correct to say that friendships represent a survival of the fit test, for few persons can long survive the punishment friend ship imposes. Yet, withal, there are some things that can be said for friendships and friends. One need not live in deadly fear of insulting them, nor must one forever be striv- ing to make an impression up- on them. And at all times one feels perfectly free to impose upon them. And that is a great deal, when one stops to thin..

THE PERENNIAL PIONEER

There is unfailing romance in the story of pioneer ventures into new fields of life and thought and human endeavor, and it's heroes come out of the past clear-cut and picturesque. We are disposed, in fact, to measure an age by the pioneer spirit of it's men and women and their bold challenge to un- known dangers and chances.
 But, while most of us are liv- Ing in a time now considerably removed from the true pioneer days of the North, we lack no opportunity or incentive to be ourselves pioneers. Not of the old trail-blazing type, whose courage and daring carved through the Northland wilder ness the paths we follow with easy steps, but pioneers in de- veloping the resources and op- portunitieS they, in their coura- geous wanderings have made accessible to us. On every hand are to be found new worlds to conquer. There is ever before us a recurrent challenge to our powers-the challenge to ere ate new work for ourselves out of the rich resources of the great, new land in which we dwell. There are new uses for our energy and new fields of labor and happiness every where around us.
 The fascination of the past is made up of perspective and the miraging mists of time and distance. Lacking these, we may miss the inspiration of the pioneer spirit that is always making the world over. Yet it dwells among us, in every man and woman who matches wits and work against the chall- enge of their own future; who hazard 3 new mining enter prise, a new business venture, who perfeets a new invention, breaches a new gospel or writes a new book.
 The pioneer spirit, if we but realize it, is the perennial ex- pression of vigorous human life and it demands no favor of time or circumstance.
