AN OUTLINE OF LIFE.
The
Treadmill that Too Many of
Our People Tread.
Not long ago the writer, for a few
moments stood at one of those mys
terious mile posts that we pass an
nually alone the high way of the
Dhenonomon called life. Reader, if
time is not too urgent wilt you pause
a moment and with me look hick
over the uneven road which with
blistered feet I have groped? Often
hungry; most of the time underfed,
poorly clothed; scorched in summer,
and freezing in winter.
I have been told that song birds
were plentiful along this highway.
In the springtime of youth perhaps
such is true to those who may pause
and listen but to the child born to
toil, growing up in ignorance amid
distressing poverty, the senses that
call forth the lyric imagination of
childhood and youth, such sounds,
which denote the scale of music, blurr
into the snarling, growling tone that
ever seems to say "hurr hurry-hurry-up.
But perhaps you are not interested
in mv story well personally Jl am
To me it seems that we who have
borne the day's toil and heat should
have during our life the best products
of the efforts of mankind and when at
last we can no longer bear the bur
dens of the field, the mine or fac
tory, that we might be relieved from
the dread of hunger, and cold, nor yet
feel the sting of -grudging charity but
spend the evening of life looking over
our lives and the beauties of this
warm and peaceful earth. Then we
could feel that the human race was
redeemed from the savages of the
jungle called business.
"Better the wealth of the heart, the
gift of feeling, though worn by sor
row, penury and toil, than all the di-
amonds of the mines that glisten; or
all the gold in California s sou."
JOHN L. STARK,
Editor Courier:
In regard to this currency matter
you fail to state the question cor
rectly. The government stamp gives
money, not metal, the purchasing
power. Again it is only superstition
to belive that there is metal behind
the government money, that is if we
take all forms of so-called money,
which includes National bank notes,
which are usually called money, tho
if I owe you a bill and tender you one
of Latourette's bank bills you can
turn it down. It is not legal tender.
Should the bank fail with notes in
your possession, the government
would swap you a treasury note for
it and cancel the bank note. This re
diculous process is called "redeeming"
the bank note is "secured by U. S.
bonds or other securities."
The constitution says "Congress
shall have power to coin money and
to regulate the value thereof and the
foreign coin." Note carefully the
f ramerg clearly saw that the value of j
money depended on the law (fiat")
and not upon any inherent quality of
the material upon which the words
or figures are stamped; also note in
time of need paper is the only form
of material upon which money is
coined that becomes available, the al
leged precious metals disappear from
circulation.

There was some excitement last
week over the reported explosion of a
meteor near Karl Fallert's heme.
Many people heard the sharp report
and some saw the smoke. After in

stumps for E. C. Guerber and who
had quarreled with his partner, set

right of property in jobs by which
method greater and quicker fortunes
have been exploited than by the old
worn out and crude method of prop

to being reformed. However when any
group adopts a theory against which

economic interests have changed or
they have become conscious of thoir
interests.

have the votes so that whenever we

Can you put yourself in my plnce

would not insinuate that you ever
have experienced the despair of pov

found you had often travelled many
miles from place to place seeking an
opportunity to earn a living, only to
be told by a fellow man ( and he of
ten in nearly in your own deplorable
conditiun) that "nothing doing," then
if your senses were not benumbed
with fatigue and hunger, you would
wonder what was meant by the words
"life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness." Can you think of a condition even
at the end of a year of what is call
ed good employment of being in the
same economic position as at the be
ginning and during all that time you
could never be swayed in emotion by
the "Divine Sarah" upon the mimic

came to your town Futti's voice could
not penetrate thru the thick brick

strolled about the streets with your
wife clad in spotted calico or cheap
gingham other women drove by in
silk. Yet these women never know
how to labor. Your child kept out of
school on account of necessity while
thers go off to universities?
Shall I prolong tho list of thoughts
that drive the iron into the soul?
Shall I again go over life's stony
path with bleeding feet and aching
limbs to come again to this mile post

The White Rose of Paradise.
As I lay on my couch a-dreaming,
There came to me on this wise,
A lovely, entrancing vision,
Of a garden beyond the skies.
As I wandered amid rare flowers,
displayed to my wondering eyes,
I came to the fairest in beauty,
The White Rose of Paradise.
Do you know, it is Love blooms richly
In that garden beyond the skies;
Love's fragrance rises eternal
From the White Rose of Paradise.
And through life's varying turmoil;
Through sorrows that oft-dim our
eys,
There blooms, for a soul's redemption
The White Rose of Paradise.

I have been thinking about poor
old Taft how he could exist on sev
enty-five thousand dollars for wages
and twenty-five thousand for expens
es. Of course he has to put in twentl
four hours per day. That is a little
over two hundred and seventy three
dollars and ninety cents for the 24
hours and every hour in the year he
receives eleven dollars and a little
over forty-one cents, or about nine
teen cents per minute.
Now that man Rockefeller made a
statement a few years ago that he
received twenty million. That was
when he concluded to retire from bus
iness, and that was a little over five
thousand four hundred and seventy-
four dollars for every twenty-four
hours of the year and it was two nun
dred and twenty-eight dollars per
hour or three dollars and eighty cents
per minute. Why he got more every
minute, whether sleeping or awake,
than most men got for working.
Now we will compare him with an
other man, and we won't take a com
mon one either.. We will take a ma
chinest, will start him in at 18 years
old and he will have to quit at 45, for
according to an . English authority
they won't hire a machinest past 40,
because if he has worked as he should
have worked, he is played out, and if
he hasn't he is no good anyway. So
we will give him two dollars a day
and his expenses, and he must put in
every day, Sunday and all to make
the 365 days Of course they would
give him a holiday on leap years.
Now if he saved every penny of it he
would have the magnificent sum of
$16,060. But how about the fellow
who has to pay all of his expenses out
of say $2.50 per day?
Here is a question or two I would
like to ask: Did God put the oil in

Rocky, or the coal in the ground for
the Gueigenheimers, the iron and the

Who can grasp the meaning of one
million? I must confess that I can't.
I read of a million, and I look at the
figures and they say ten hundred

says there are millions of truths that
