He will be distinguished, however, by
one sterling thing:
He will want to be fair.
One has but to think Of all the millions
Of special pleaders, persons who obvi-
ously do not want to be fair at all, to
understand the value Of this wish.
This wish to get at the truth is at
the bottom Of all science, the best writ
ing and the finest living. And yet some
demand we be ashamed Of 1t.
What is truth?
NOBODY knows, except piecemeal.
Bit by bit, here little and there
little, man arrives at truth.
This very truth Is not static, but
changing, yet at the time 1t seems the
utter truth, the very truth.
Old truths crumble-washed away by
the waves Of the years. They fall to
bits. but in doing so add their precious
golden necks to the new truth.
1t Is thus the intellectual world ad-
vances.
In the van must be all those, learned
or otherwise, who refuse, at least In their
hearts, minds and souls, to be too afraid
OF the unconventional. the despised, the
unpopular.
These are the real heroes Of the race.
Only few Of them, In any age, get
mentioned" The rest work in silence
often in despair, perhaps not exactly
despised and rejected, but close to 1t.
Often it hurts worse that way. Just to
be tolerated-what is worse?
The vast world of mind goes ahead.
despite periodic set-backs.
The great foe tS Ia u,l,o doaen,x ~,ax.k
TO be fair, who despises all those who do,
who puts expediency above ethics.
Expediency is an animal discovery.
Ethics, mind, heart and soul discovery
Templeton Jones, reading his own, and
liking it, when he thought it another's,
was true to the best in him.
Such writing is nothing if it is not an
attempt to tell the truth of what has
been discovered by personal investigation.
Jones recognized in it, after a few
paragraphs, real attempt to tell ALL"
That was what he liked.
He could see at once that the writer
had nothing to sell except the truth, as
far as he had been able to ascertain it.
One part of his mind was busy read
ing, and another part of his mind was
saying, all the time, Why, this is pretty
good; this fellow evidently knows what
he is writing about: this is put together
by some one who knows how to handle
words"
Jones bluShed when he realized Just
who was being praised. He downright
blushed. in his old-fashioned way, to find
himself praising himself, a little trick of
the century he had not yet learned.
The open mind Of Templeton Jones,
the open mind of any honest fellow,
ceaselessly searches for evidence of truth.
That is what the mind hunts-not en-
tertainment so much, not just for agree
ment, or meeting ones wishes, or the like.
The fair mind is not satisfied with
this. though. 1t does not set itself up
as the complete standard of judgment;
that is why it tests and tries so often,
with what lamentable results sometimes.
The fair mind, which is every mans
mind. when he is fair, is willing and
occasionally able to grasp that triumph
Of the intellect, the greater truth, that
ones own precious mind may be wrong,
at times, and that anothers mind may
be right.

Shooting Stars.

Too Much to Expect.

Too Much to Expect.
Amid PHILOSOPHERS that fly,
With fancy's rainbow colors fraught,
Perhaps it might be well to try
A simple, unpretentious thought.
So here's line for joyous youth,
AS well as manhoods toilsome prime.
Remember. son, this simple truth
You can't be lucky all the time.
The wheels of fate, as they go round,
Must turn for loss as well as gain.
Some blame as well as praise must sound,
And great reforms prove oft in vain.
And so, when wearying in the strife,
Do not forget this homely rhyme,
Be brave and play the game of Life
You can't be lucky all the time.

The benign influence of song is shown

Young musicians, who may at times need
restraint as well as stimulation, cannot
be tossed into the waters of intellectual

litical economy and social ethics. Young

A Rhyme at Twilight

The verse born dead is tragic thing,
With no life spark even flickering.
Nothing more pitiful, bury it deep,
Try not to wake it from its sleep.
But the verse born kicking-a merry

A song to cause the heart to sing.
The vital breath of life is there,
Nourish it, cherish 1t, give 1t care.
Is it genius that to the verse life brinSsf
No. It's delving deep into human things.

Peace Futile
PROGRAM TO AVOID
STRIFE REVEALED

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y, Aug.
i15.-UP)-Through foreign of
fees and chancellories of the
world there rang President Roose-
velt's forceful preaching against
war and his pledge to isolate the
United States from all war dan
gers last night.
In the major pronouncement Of
American policy the president told
a crowd here he has been bitterly
disillusioned in the hope that the
whole world could be led into
ways of peace.
He betrayed his grave concern
with world conditions, saying he
had been studying foreign rela-
ftions but his listeners believed his
fears were based on the Spanish
civil war, the Italo-Ethiopian war
and the Japanese conquest of
Manchuria. Z
eve believe in democracy, we
believe in freedom and we believe
in peace, and so we offer to every
nation of the world the handclasp
of the good neighbor. Let those
who wish our friendship look us
in the eye and take our hand" he
said.
The four points he emphasized
tfor American. neutrality WERE:
r In1iSSence that American
business, industry and agriculture
foreswear profits from foreign
conflicts;
2. Cultivation of an active and
vigorous public opinion for peace;
3. The greatest official caution
to avoid any step or action which
might lead to embodiment of the
United States into war;
4. Extension and development
of the good neighbor policy in the
western hemisphere.
The chief executive, reviewing
in blunt language the troubled
world picture, pointed with salts

neighbor as an instrument OF

In his first major speech on for

at San Diego, Calf, Mr.. Roose-
welt set forth the philosophy of
his peace policy and by inference
held it up to the country as a
political consideration of the first
order.
The address, well sprinkled with
Rooseveltian parallels, hailed the
Forthcoming conference in Buenos
Aires as "the hope of all chiefs
of state of the Americas that this
will result in measures which will
