AND PRECISION WHAT I V i X We are more impatient of the sham, the make believe, the dilatory, the merely rhetorical and oratorical. We are more impa tient of the obscure, the tedious, the impotent, the superfluous, the far fetched. We have a new and a sharpened sense for the REAL, the VITAL, the LOGICAL. The dilatory and meandering methods of even such a writer as Hawthorne tire us a little now, and the make believe of a Dickens is well nigh intolerable. WE WANT A STORY TO MOVE RAPIDLY; WE WANT THE ES SAY FULL OF POINT AND SUGGESTION. WE FIND IT MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO READ BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS, AND ALL WRIT ING "ABOUT AND ABOUT" WE ARE IMPATIENT OF. WE WANT THE THING ITSELF; WE WANT CURRENTS AND COUNTERCUR RENTS MOVEMENTS AND RAPIDITY AT, ALL HAZARDS. We are need to peeing the wheels go round; we feel the tremen dous push f our civilization all about us; we see the straight paths, despite ultsim-le.-. that the controlled physical forces make over the earth's" surface: we are MASTERS OF THE SCIENCE OF SHORT (TTS in all departments of life, and both literature and philosophy respond to these conditions. Pragmatism has come in, dogmatism I.m- u-.ne out: the formal, the perfunctory, the rhetorical, count f..r I.-- fl!,d I.-. ; the lir-ct, the MANLY, the ESSENTIAL, count fr timre ami more. Science has cured us of many delusions, and it ha mde up rhe poorer by dispelling certain illusions, but it has -nri'lv MAP!-: II IK KARTII A MUCH MORE HABIT A l'l.l: PI.A.l'K iluiii it wa in the prescientific ages. .r'" BLAND ACRE TRACTS Buy a home in Bland Acre3 10 per cent down and 2 per ffnr per month, price $126.00 to $180.00 per acre.

They are now doing their preliminary work and at present are clear ing the right of way for this line. DILLMAN & HOWLAND - WEINHARD BUILDING. a mighty horsepower of horse sense makes the wires tingle. Harvey E. Cross, "Father of Gladstone,'' and a mighty good citizen, who happens to be Main Trunk for the nonce, hit up on a novel and a successful plan when he decided to ask each member to suggest a subject for discussion at fu ture luncheons. As a result a battery of subjects was turned loose, and each one of them contains possibili ties that would keep versatile men like the members of the Live Wires, busy in discussion for hours if they only had the time. Think ye of the possibilities for discussion in the subject suggested by Frank Busch, "The speedy erec tion of a commodious public dock; egress and ingress most important point in selecting a site." The only trouble with the subject is that each member would be on the affirmative side, and the discussion would lack that vim and vigor that always ac companies one which is enlivened by our old friends, "pro and con," both participants. And in this connection doesn't it seem strange that some thing it is agreed that the city needs, agreed by every business and profes sional man, like the public dock, does not become a real living thing al most instanter? No one opposes it, it is agreed by all that the dock eal Life Characterizes Literature f Today By JOHN BURROUGHS, Naturalist and Essayist has gained in many respects in It has GAINED EN POINT IT HAS LOST IN POWER. should be built, it was so agreed more than a year ago, and yet we have no public dock. It is possible that the free Jocks, improved by an expendi ture of almost $1,000,000, will become a reality before a free dock is built? Seems like putting the cart before the horse, doesn't it? F. J. Tooze made a mighty import ant suggestion, towit, "That the city operate its own electric light plant." While it has not the unanimity of approval as the free dock proposition, if is one the Live Wires doubtless will give due consideration. Other cities own and operate their electric light plants and have made a suc cess of it. A majority of the members urged the building of good roads and they have the sentiment of almost all the residents of the city and county behind them. The suggestion of John W. Loder that a modern city hall be erected was a good one, and it will become a reality in the near future. But it is impossible to comment on all the subjects- offered for discus sion. Suffice it to say that all were good ones, and we are convinced that after they have been given consid eration by the AVires much that will redound to the betterment of civic conditions will result. Each Live Wire Watt is worth his weight in gold. EXPRESS .COMPANY The news LOSS U. S. GAIN from New York that one express company has suffered such- a loss of business as a result of the inaugura tion of the parcels post that it has been compelled to discharge 75 em ployes in one offce is a testimonial to the prescience and courage of our national legislators in providing a system that has long been in success ul operation in many of the older countries. The number of packages mailed daily in the metropolis as ev erywhere in the United States is in creasing daily. And while it did not take a phophet or the son of a proph et to inform us years ago that such would be the case when the govern ment established the system, isn t it strange that the greatest democracy on the face of the globe waited so long? But after all we are a slow people. We feel our way all the time Then too in the past, wealth, coin of- the realm, certificates of de posit, have played an important part in the "feeling of the way." For almost half a century Senator Morgan, o't Alabama, who was the patriarch of the senate, worked un ceasingly for a mighty canal across the Isthmus of Panama. He blazed the trail for a mighty waterway that would connect the two great oceans. But Senator Morgan, grand old man as he was, met with scant encour agement. There was an undercurrent that was against him. Transcontinen tal railways, made powerful by sub sidies from the government, opposed the building of the canal. They were glad when the DeLessups regime failed. Surely after that disaster the United States would not have the courage to try such a visionary scheme. But Morgan kept hammer ing away, and, finally the people came to the conclusion that he was working along the right lines. Then came the Big Stick with that inimitable ability to dip into the fu ture and especially grasp an opportun ity that would bring him glory. A strip of land, the canal zone, as it is now known, was seized and in less than one year hence the mightiest ships of the world will carry the largest cargoes through .the greatest canal ever built. And it is as it i should be. ' j Congressmen and senators have I fough for the parcels post from time j immemorial, but the process of ac- complishment was slow. The express companies were powerful, but they finally lost. Verily are we slow in the consum mation of what 'every one of us knows is best for us. But we get there.

Tbe blue sky. which reveals itself as the hemispherical vault of the firma ment in the absence of clouds, is noth lng more nor less than the far depths of the air sending back to the observer some part of the solar illumination which it receives. The liht thus re turned to the eye is blue, simply be cause the particles of the air are of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of tbe luminous vibrations that Is,' with the blue undulations.
