LIFE'S PROBLEM
The poet sang:
"From harmony, heavenly bar-
monyi ,
This universal frame began,
Closing its diapason on man."
Bat it man is the ultimate re
sult of a harmaneous mingling
of all the forces and elements
that constitute the universe,
viewed from a human stand
point, the quality of harmony
was exhausted in the making,
for mane astions show him to
be a complex if not heteroge-
of waring elements physically,
socially and mentally. He is
born hungry, naked and help-
leas into an existence where all
the surrounding elements seem
at war with him and bent upon
ms destruction. Wnen paren
tal care and labor has pilated
him through measels, whooping
cough, bad colds and school
days by means of much chiding
scolding and spanking and he
reaches maturity, and he starts
put upon life on his own hook,
harmony presented to his view
along the pathway he has to
traee whet tier he likes it or ap
proves thn direction it leads, is
anything but assuring of a
smooth voyage or successful
termination. .
His wants are so many and
the means of satisfying them so
irksome, that it is a bold spirit
that sometimes does not
have fits of the blues
as he trudges along life's path
way despoadingly coning.
"Life is all a fleeting show, to
mans delusion given" while in
search of a job whereby he can
earn some bread to satisfy his
inner cravings, or clothes to
aard off the fierce assaults of
the north wind. Hungry, shiver,
ering and alone in a ; seemingly
unfriendly world and absolu
tely an indifferent one th para
mont mandate from his sur
roundings'is "Root hog or die"
arrouses his courage, appeals to
his manhood and .he tackles
lifes problem because he has tp
If he makes no mistakes
and can under all circum
stances "keep a stiff upper lip"
and falls into no bad habits he
will succeed that is not starve to
death, keep out of prison or the
poor house, and as his -friends
lay him to his eternal rest they
csn give his biography by say
ing, "Life is but a day at moat,
Sprung in night in darkness
lost"
The senate wants all sommer
to study the railroad question.
Does this indicate ignorance on
the part of senators or a desire
to postpone the evitable?
Noting the demand of the St.
Louis Republic, a paper which
bas bad many years' service as
a democratic leader, and is pub
lished 1,200 miles from the sea,
"that a progressive naval pro-
gram must be developed which
when carried out, will put the
United States in a position of
sapremacy on the ess," the
Washington Post aptly declares,
"It is only one of many strange
incidents that have marked the
course of the democracy since
the wheels of the werldran over
it on the 8th day of November."
It is quite possible and great
ly to be desired that as a result
of the present land frauds, that
the two rival political republi
can factions mar be dissolved
and men of merit in which 'fac
tion may be selected to fill posi
tions of trusts. Heretofore only
those of the successful faction
were considered.
