SATURDAY EVENING THOUGHTS j
EVERYTHING FOR ALL.
SOCIAL REFORMERS who want society organized, on the communal
plan start with a most attractive idea. The world is tending to
ward democracy, the equal rights of everybody In everything there
is for human comfort and welfare. But it is certain to occur to many
people that the change from private ownership to communal ownership
would not make a very radical difference in the distribution of the good
things of life, yet It might lessen the production of things, and in the
end the mass would not be the gainer. For at least a century democracy
has had a fair swing and progress has been made under sharp private
competition. Under the reign of competition the distribution has grown
wider and wider, and now, when competition is fiercest, the distribution
is the most liberal In the history of the modern world. Everybody
shares in about everything that is of real importance in life.
Steam power was a wonder worker when applied to commercial ac
tivities. Electricity supplements steam as a power and also furnishes il
lumination. There are few people In this country today who are not
benefited by steam or electricity, or both. Yet no community Invented
these forces. Individuals wrought out the wonders. The nobleman and
lord of ancient days had at command no such agents of power as the
laboring man has today. A hundred years ago musical instruments
were the property of the few. Today almost every cottage has one or
more musical instruments. The phonograph gives to the humblest toiler
today what a lord of the past could not have had even by pawning his
realm. The communal plan would make the phonograph the property of
everybody that is, if there should be a phonograph when the distribu
tion takes place. Perhaps there would be none, and none of the various
inventions which contribute so much to the world's progress and com
fort. Inventors' royalty is about all that stands in the way of making
the phonograph and other like inventions as cheap and common as the
advocates of communal ownership think they should be. But if Edison,
for Instance, were to offer to forego his immense royalties, provided his
physical burdens should be shared pro rata by every user of his Inventions,
would be public take him up? Here Is the idea in a nutshell. Things
that count in our lives are cheap considering what it has cost somebody
to produce them.
Money doesn't stay with the individual now as It once did, perhaps.
The reason is that money will purchabe so much that is worth having
for the work it will do. Formerly all kinds of machines, all kinds of
books, of pictures, of works of art,
fortunate few could have them. Now these things are common, they are
cheap, and almost everybody has all they need and can use. J. P. Morgan
gets no more delight looking at a plcuro which costs him a fortune than
does the man who buys a reproduction of it for a dollar or two may be
less. Morgan owns it, of course owns its fictitious value but may never
see It more than half a dozen times In his life, for he doesn't live in his
picture galleries. The other owner ses his copy every day, if he wants
to, and Is the possessor of whatever
After all, there may be a fallacy In this idea that a distribution of
ownership will Increase happiness. The wider distribution of things, the
infinite multiplication of rare and good things, bringing them within the
reach of the purses of the mass, hasalready revolutionized life within a
century. The end of this process of multiplication and. distribution is
not In sight, and it may reasonably be questioned whether the competitive
system is, as. some contend, inadequate to give everybody a square deal in
everything necessary to human happiness.

Sunset Bay.
Life with Its duties, life with its play
Is only a trip to Sunset Bay.
Over the thorns with the cruel stings
Over the turf where the sweet bloom
springs,
Down through the vale, where the
cool rills run,
Over the sands in the scorching sun.
All of the tolling, all of the play
Will end with a night at Sunset Bay.
Take up the Durden, march bravely
along,
Cheer up the heart with a prayer and
a song;
Labor with fervor and strive with a
zest,
Knowing the Journey Is ending in
rest.
Life hath its sunshine, Life hath Its
rain,
Life hath its crosses. Life hath its
gain;
Life hath its pleasures, Life hath its
play
But Life Is a trip to Sunset Bay.
Over, just over the Sunset hills,
Is the Beach of Rest where the tem
pest stills.
Where turbulent storms of woe ne'er
break,
And weary souls may of peace par
take. Over the thorns with their cruel
stings,
Over the path where the sweet bloom
springs,
Life with Its duties, Life with Its
. . Play
Is only a trip to Sunset Bay.
THEY COST so little and they are
worth so much, the little cour
tesies of life. Perhaps no one
will ever know how much. A pleasant
look a cheery morning, that is all but
it brightens the day for the poor soul
whom, let us not say chance, but
providence, has thrown in our way.
So many little things that we may
do for others every day. They may
not always recehe the "Thank you,"
to which they are entitled, though
that is spoken oftener than would be
believed. Other people notice it and
though those things ought not to be
'lone just because of the satisfaction
which comes from doing what is felt
to be the thing to do, that is a fai;
better motive than many another.
There is no place where these lit
tle courtesies are more neglected,
and yet where they should be prac
ticed the most, than In the home.
Exactly because we love our own the
best Is the reason why we should
be most polite when no strangers are
around us. It is partly the fault of
our Anglo-Saxon habit of repression,
partly a half-ashamed feeling lest we
allow ourselves to give way to our
emotions, that keeps us from letting
each other know how strong is the
bond between us.
Not only the elders, but the chil
dren, are to be envied who live In a
home whose atmosphere is marked
by little graceful acts of courtesy.
The meeting at the door, the goodby
when father or sons leave the house,
the slippers ready by the hearth, the
pulling forward of the easy chair for
father or mother, the readiness to
run on errands, the saving steps for
others, these and a thousand more
mark the happy home.
The Beautiful America Club of
North Bend, held its annual meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce hall
last Tuesday afternoon. It was the

months ago. It was decided to take
up a course of study of flowers,
shrubs and trees to enable the mem
bers to do more effective work for a
city beautiful. The annual election

cellent work accomplished during

The friends are keeping the secrets

for the nuptials so that formal an
nouncements will not be forthcoming
