I In the first place, the residence districts ought tosjave some police protection ! And the vagrants and street comer loafers ought to be made to eliminate themselves And there should be an emergency officer night afnd day, equipped with quick means of transportation - And jaywalking ought to be stopped, for the safety of the jaywalkers and automobile drivers: and parking places ought to be better regulated, and traffic generally better protected against accidents - r I ' And it would be a good thing to have an adequate call box system lor the ponce. This ambitious program is set forward on account of the pride Mr. Mof f ittwould like to take in furnishing to the peo ple of Salem greater safety of life and limb and property. Not for his own glorification, but In the spirit of service, does Mr. Moffitt announce his program. . He may- be disappointed in the speedy realization of : norne of his dream of an adequate service for life is full of disappointments .1 v V V 1 i And everybody these days is likely to shy at anything that looks, like adding to the already too heavy tax burdens. But Mr. Moffitt offers nothing more ambitious than Sa lem deserves and ought to-have,' and if heVill keep on pa tiently plugging away, he will realize his dream one of these days and probably before long for Salem is going to grow and prosper, and her, people will come to agree, presently. that tjiothing in reason is too good in the way of proper pro tection and security an the domain of law ana order and safety. ; . k. . ., ' . . .. . : THE SUCCESSFUL LIFE - ' (Copyrighted by The San Jose Mercury) 1 ' Our idea sfof life change with our development. Each suc- rcssive stag in the development of the individual brings its ambitious atul interests and changes its purposes and viewpoint, . until maturity comes, when the, so-called frolics of childhood tiid youth arc Irft In-hind and the man is absorbed in avocations Miid ambitioiiK of the average normal man. But how much bel ter in the ordinal- .man 'employing Jib time than does the child or youth? He s,eiids nearly all of his time in his business, in the making of money,' in solving his professional problems . . .t . - 1 .w.. ir- '. r 1U I lie '1191 vuuuii v L .iiui uiuiiaiiiai vuki y- tit iuio.v ures the success of his life in dollars and cents, and gets Ms satisfaction largely, if not cnlinly, froji the purely physical results he is able to accomplish, ' Itarcly indeed does man spend much time in thinking or striving for those finer, deeper, diviner things, without which the most active, prosperous and influential ' life is little better than a miserable failure. But there is here no attempt to belittle business or any useful occupation by which men make an honest livelihood or work the modern business miracles. 'All of these things are iuightily important to society as well as to the individual. . "He that provideth not forihis owu household is worse than an infidel." says the very" highest authority. He that does not discharge faithfully and " conscientiously the physical and worldly duties that lifeQbrulgs to him is in no. attitude or eon ilitiou to properly discharge any higher ones. No person, neglecting , his first duty to himself and his family, to go into 1 Hie world m an effort to reform or regenerate it, ever amounted to much as a preacher or reformer or got much satisfaction or reward out 6l life. , . i ' . : . . V . r'- Most people have not learned that man is endowed' vitb 'three distinct natures, the physical, the intellectual and the spiritual ; and that symmetrical and harmonious development of the individual is impossible unless all three of these natures are givcu projMr action and attention. Without this symmetrical and harmonious development no one can become as efficient us he may and should be and accoinJ)tish what he might accom plish industrially, intellectually or spiritually. The.physical nature is the first to tlevelop and if properly controlled and directetl will lccomc the foundation to sustain the other two-natures. It can not. however, become such foun dation if wholly neglected, as it is by the great majority of American business and professional,; men and educated, and well-to-do Americans generally. That regular habits of life, good, wholoouie food, regular, active bodily exercise, and plenty of fresh air arc necessary to bodily health, strength and vigor, most men will readily agree;. but when you tell them that fhese things arc just as essential to intellectual and spiritual ilcvck'pmcnt, Mreugth and achievement, they are apt to look puzzled or sneer in derision. It is true nevertheless. No 111 a 11 can do ir be bis best in any lircction wheu banr percd by a weak, sickly or pain-racked botly. Many a student has made himself a wreck for life, deprived himself of the cilucation that he'eraved or brought himself to an early gra re by neglecting the demands of his botly. A frail and cmar iati-d fnuae,' a pallid and solemn visage, end big hollow ryes are not iMM-essary awompanimcnts of a saint. ; Those who arc informed Know lhat these things aie apt to be the marks of the dyspeptic, hypochondriac and misanthrope. The real, live saint should hiive bounding health, a smiling;face. bright, uj looking eyes and endurance of body r as well as of mind and spirit. The ideal lifethe truly successful' one. the ; one that incans the cry uicst to the individual and to the world is the one, with till three part of the nature harmoniously dcveloel; strong in body, quick ami penetrating of . mind, aud a regenerated, active. pirit guiding, directing and dominating it all. ' Th- ?oul. ihe spirit of mau, is the only thing he takes into eternity. The great purpose of life' here,; therefore, is not to aciuire riches or iuflucnce' or pojerl not simply to enable us to grasp end enjoy the goodf things of the earth and come down to the grave at last with4 our. hands and hearts clinging to perishable things of the world and empty of everything else; but it is to furnish us an opportunity to develop, purify, elevate, and make active 'and dcmina,nt our spirits. y This life is like a school, for the education and development of the spiritual nature in each man, in order to fit him to take full advantage of the ihm opportunities and larger life to come. This life is "the'primary -school in-which are to be earned the lessons that fit man for the higher department to follow. 'With out taking the fullest advantage of the; opportunities offered in this primary grade lie is in nojeondition to understand or to take part in the work of the next department, or to share in the development which it is intended to bring. : The man who has neglected the needs of his spiritual nature lias not only overlooked the main purpose of life, but he has missed its greatest rewards. The beast of the fryJd, if supplied with food and warmth, has 'physical content, but is incapable of happiness. The man who follows t lie desires and impulses of the flesh and is wholly absorbed .with' the things of the-phy-sical world .may, like the bcsistsometimes have ;i kiud of animal content and satisfaction, tyut he is incapable of feeling real happiness. The intellectually developed man has a higher enjoyment than this, but real happiness is reserved for the man with -a developed soul. His spirit is attuned to the melody of the spiritual universe, lie feels the thrill of the inspiration that comes from the Great Center Life of the creation. The unselfish love of (Jod is swelling in his heart, bringing its price less blessings. Every moment brings; a joy which the uuspiri tual man call not know. And while 'enjoying the present he cau look forward and upward -with hope aye, with certainty and trust in his uod, and know that all is w ell, here and now and always. . Whatever the world may think of it, his is the puccessf ul life. It is the only truly .successful life there is.
