The essence of every contract now
adays is speed. The world sems to
have acquired the speed mania to an
alarming degree. Yesterday the press
dispatches contained an announce
ment from a well known British man
ufacturer of airplanes and dirigibles
that therg would be a machine built
In a few years that would travel ar
ound the earth in one day. In 24
hours it would circle the globe the
shade of Phineas Fogg must have
turned a flip flop when he got that
by wireless. The inventor claims that
by traveling with the sun he would
have a twenty-four hour daylight trip.
A British dirigible has just called
on us, took tea and blew back home.
Speed the word itself has taken on
a new meaning. All of us over twenty-five
years of age can remember
when the 2:30 horse waB speedy. The
"cannon-ball" flyer that nii'.du forty
miles an hour on the rails was speedy.
Not today. The whole world demands
and is attainlng'a speed hitherto un
dreamed of. There is scarcely a sin
gle daily paper that does not contain
the report of an automobile accident
earring death and destruction in its
wake and that is directly traced to
the mania for speed.
The man who drove a good team a
few years ago and confined his trav
els to a fifty or a hundred mile radius
and who had time to look around a
Utile before venturing Into a blind
railway crossing, now goes five hun
dred miles from home and rushes in
to a danger tone at twenty, thirty,
fifty miles an hour.
Leather is tanned now In a few
daya the same result that used to
take months. In lens time than It
used to take to get the saddle on the
horse that started on the many day
relay trip west with the malls,
today the word Is flashed clear ar
ound the earth.
One wonders If people nowadays
are not missing sonie'.liin in this
speedy, efficient existence. Hoes the
man who gets in his car and "steps
on It" for a run of one hundred to
five hundred miles know as much of
the interesting things that are grow
ing and living near him? Is he able
to enjoy a reposeful hour, walking In
the woods or along some stream,
studying and admiring nalurs? I
think not. He gets his nature study
at the movie show. A mnri-vl man
in a close, smelly dark room takes
a film that was taken fium the life
and "edits" it so as to get the most
action iu the shortest length of film.
He reads only the headlines of his
daily. The writers who have spent
hours of toil searching for a new way
of saying the sume thinss, in older
to attract his jaded mind, lose their
audience because they cannot put a
three column story In a ten line head.
It would benefit anyone to get
away from the influence of speed for
a season and consider the things that
are not desirable when speeded up.
Is the time coming when a man's
span of life will total a doien years?!
Will humanity speed up until nature
responds and speeds up her efforts
so that a man can go through the
whole of his life span, from infancy
to maturity and death In a few years
that now take sixty? Th"re is the
baby beef, unknown a few years ago.
