So. Willie will be glad to hear
of this one.
Lieutenant Seaman finished his
trick of duty one day not so long
back. He gathered up a pad OF
butter he was taking home and
got into his car. The driver got
in behind the wheel. He stepped
on the starter.
There was a shrill whistle rising
to a crescando and then a loud eX-
plosion. Smoke rushed from the
engine. It drifted from the floor
board. Larry and the driver sat
frozen in their seats. Then both
jumped out.
"See if the engin's still there"
Larry called to the driver.
The driver gingerly lifted the
hood. The engine was intact.
Larry insisted:
"How about your tireS?"
Solemnly the two walked around
the car, looking at the four wheels.
All o. K.
The driver went back and lifted
the hood. Two broken wires
showed attached to the starter and
a spark plug.
The driver exploded:
''It was a bomb"
Into the White House he went
for the Secret Service. But by
that time they were getting the

THEY MUST LEARN HOW TO DIE

'creasingly clogged with failures
and parasites. We think such
derelictS haven't learned how to
live. The truth is, they've never
learned how to die. how to face
those continuous deaths which
form the chain of life. They were
born in a Softie Age, expecting
the Machine and the Set-up to do
everything for them.
Their grandfathers were trained
to hardship and sacrifice before
they were out of their cradles.
Learned to die" before they shed
their baby teeth. So when life
grew tough, they were prepared to
take it.
We have no such preparation in
our present program. Our success
school of thought does not even
contemplate the possibility of a
failure. Sacrifice is as antiquated
as great-grandma's pantalettes.
Only sapS flop-or find them
selves on a spot.
PART OF LIVING
AS a consequence, the first time
a young modern finds himself in
a bad jamb he concludes that he
has been framed-or practiced
the wrong technique. He does
not realize that jambS are newt
able. that failure is as much a
part of normal living as the four
seasons. . that every spring must
be preceded by a long, hard
winter.
Learn to die!
Learn to expect death.
Learn that constant death is
unavoidable if you would have
continuous, progressive life.
Learn that disappointment, hu-
initiation, sacrifice, hardship are
part of normal living-that no
man is really trained or educated
who has not passed through them
or is not prepared to pass through
them again.
Learn to laugh when each blow
comes-to take your falls as a
trained motorman takes his, with
the least injury to the others in
volved.
Learn, above all else. that no
death need be final unless you
make it so-no grave inescapablo
unless you're too spineless to climb
out of it.
Learn to die, that you may
learn to live!

More Lip Service

The Civil Service plank in the Democratic platform is
at once confession that the Administration has done
its utmost during the last three years to wreck the merit
system and pledge to try to repair the damage.
Impartial observers of what has been transpirng in
Washington during Mr.. Roosevelts administration will
accept the confession which was scarcely needed.
THEY WILL, HOWEVER, BE SKEPTICAL OF THE
PROMISE.
This skepticsm is warranted not only by the way the
Democrats outed their promises of 1892 but by
of the fact that right up to the closing hours of the last
Congress the overwhelming Democratic majority had
every opportunity in the world to extend the merit
system.
That the majority failed to do speaks poorly for
the earnestness of the cheering delegates that ratified
the Philadelphia platform.
LikeWise the fact that the majority, Which had
prOUen so susceptible to White House coercion on
other legislation did not receive eUen nudge along
speaks poorly for the earnestness of the man WEO
IVW run on the Philadelphia platform.
The Democratic platform says that the party pledges
itself to extend the merit system Or the protection of
government itself and promotion of its efficiency.
If the Democrats believe that the extension of the
merit system is essential for the protection of govern
ent and for its efficient operation then they must admit
that although in complete power in Washington for three
years they have not given that protection and have done
nothing to promote the efficiency of government.
Their own words demonstrate their culpability.
Like Sinners they repent but their repentance
too late and follows too closely the heels of an
opportunity to make amends-AN OPPORTUNITY
WHICH THEY DELIBERATELY AND PURPOSELY
AVOIDED.

hardened Jail breakers are about

They can at least take Billy Am

He finished his sentence at AL

And Billy's valedictory ran as fol-

car would run completely amuck
and its passengers be most ur-
pleasantly "liquidated." But, with
the "dead-man control" the car
comes to a halt the second the
motorman's hand drops from the
lever.
So it's up to Bill to remember
how and when to drop that hand.
Which is asking plenty Of our
weak, human nature.
The average citizen doesn't
waste much time thinking about
the rest of the audience when his
time comes. and learning how
to die is one department of educa-
tion he's willing to skip. Yet he's
betting wrong there
For learning to die is the most
important part of learning to live.
HARD LESSONS
Life doesn't contain merely one
funeral. .one death. one resur-
rection. We die daily, hourly.
The more we live, the oftener we
must die. Each step ahead means
leaving some part Of us behind
.. the death of some old hope or
habit, some pride or prejudice.
And our chance of survival
after these little deaths and
burials depends on whether we've
learned how to die gamely, will
ingly with proper regard for all
others concerned. and have
spunk enough left to pick our
selves up after the smash and go

ATTRACTIVE TOWN

Washington isn't such bad
town after all for the Nations
Capitol.
Representative Otha D. Wearin
CD of Iowa thought differently
at one time. Representative
Wearin opposed the plan to change
the front of the Capitol. He said
that if the people in Washington
didn't appreciate the honor of hav.
ing it here and wanted to change
it they ought to move it out to
Iowa, where it would be revered.
But Representative Wearin was
seen coming out of the sergeant
alarms office of the House last
week counting his money. Con-
gress quit long ago, but Represent
ative Wearin stayed in town.
There is another Iowa Repre-
sentative who thinks the Capitol
is all right, too.
Without any fanfare and no lost
motion, two huge vans parked on
the Plaza recently. From them
diSgorged a group of young men
in blue uniforms. They were mem.
bers of the Luther College concert
band from Decorah, Iowa.
With neatneSS and dispatch they
got their instruments, muSicstands,
etc., from the rear of the busSes
and set up for action at the foot
Of the steps leading to the House.
A small crowd gathered in the
shade across the street, while in
the full, unprotected glare Of the
streaming sunshine, the boys put
on a concert.
One of them said they were
playing at the request of Repre-
sentative Fred Beiermann OF Iowa.
After they finished with the
"Stars and Stripes" and THE
Star-spangled Banner" t h e
strolled through the empty halls
to see what they could see.
Last week while Edwin A Hal
sey. secretary of the Senate, and
most of his staff were in Philadel-
phia, the Capitol cleanup squad
got busy on Colonel Halsey's office.
They disinfected it from wall to
wall. The Capitol is an old, old
