While (he future of Alaska has been discussed with mingled hopefulness and forebodings, the work on its 163,000,000 railroad bas been qnietly proceeding; and it Is now announced that its la3t spike will be driven on Christmts day. Already the! territory Is re sponding to (he Enterprise. Entered at the Postoffice in Salem, Oregon, as second class matter. WE: LIVE NOT TO OURSELVES ALONE - -t " (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury) , No legitimate business or enterprise can be carried on in the community without a resulting benefit to all in the com- .munity. No man can "make money" and get anything out of it unless he invests it or spends it. If he does cither of these things, in the end I am sure to get some of it ; it will certainly stimulate my business and add to my wealth and '. ' opportunity. And whit is true in this respect of the corn 's munity is just as true of the state and the nation. Only ' the miser and the parasite he who does nothing useful confer no benefit upon the public. Everybody therefore has v a real interest in the personal labors and efforts of every individual citizen. .Whether you know it or not, you are working, not for yourself alone, no matter what your vocation; you are also working for the community, the state, the nation. Whether you recognize it or not, you have a stake in the business of - your neighbor; what he produces adds to your wealth. If he produces nothing, what he might produce is in a sense a loss to you and the community. If he produces only half what he could, .whatt he should produce, then-society, and you as v a member, of tit, have lost one-half of what might have been realized, from your neighbor's efforts. What is more important from the individual point of view, if you are a miser, a parasite, if you do nothing to make the world richer, wiser, happier or better, you your t ; self get nothing worth while out of life. And the more you ' ' do and the better you do it, themore you get, not only di r rectly but of your .effort, but, indirectly in the resulting sat- i isf action, development and happiness that come from con s scientious work. The Creator never intended men to live to themselves alone. Indeed, they cannot do it. - Whatever they do or fail to do affects not only themselves, but others, the world. .The mass of humanity is doubtless the impor tant thing to God, and to Him the most important use of the individual is his function as a part of this great mass. It is plainly for the interest of the world, of humanity, that each should do the highest and best work of which ho is capable. And God has flot made society with one interest in the life and efforts of an individual and n different bene ficial interest for him, one antagonistic to the interest of society. Even from a selfish standpoint it is for everyone s true interest to do the highest and best that is in him, for . I the richest rewards come to those who bring the most to the, world. And one cannot get much that is worth while for himself without .sharing it with others, with the world. , - A , "There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, - 'T .There, are souls that are pure and true; . .Then give to the world the best you have, fl And the best will come back to you. ( -'Give love and love to yout heart will flow, ' A strength in your utmost need ; ' ."Have faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. There is a multiplicity of laws in this country, too many, in fact. It was a hero of the late Artemus Ward Who shouted, "we are gov erened too much' as his head flew off. The ten laws handed down from the flaming mount of Sinai ought to be enough. An art "raid" On Europe on a gigantic scale" by K. Matsukata, a Japanese shipping magnate and son of an ex-premier, is a Lon don report. Mr.; Matsukata Is said already to have acquired 903 pictures and other works to a ralue of $5,000,000 and to be planning to place them perma nently ion public exhibition. ; A voyage in an amphibious monoplane across the Atlantic with 150 passengers, starting at Croydon airdrome, near London, at noon and reaching New York the following morning is the pro posal of a British manufacturing concerh that is already at work on the; huge machine. The exhi bition jot faith is impressive, whatever the future may hold. By a referendum vote ot 2517 the Socialist party has indorsed the pojicy of no affiliation with Lenin s third international, a minority of 676 favoring renewal ot overtures. Uvea if these fig ures represent a comparatively small proportion of "dues-paying" mebers of the party,' they contrast interestingly with; the enrollment figures of some 1100,000 before the war. THE SLOGAN OP THE WORLD "For life is a mirror for Icing and slave1, Tis just what you are and do: Then give to the world the best you have, ' And the best will come back to you." 'The miser sacrifices everything for his gold; his only pleasure consists in gloating over its possession and in striv ing to accumulate more of it, only that he may have more to gloat over. His narrow and selfish lif withers or destroys all the finer better, sweeter things in his nature. He comes to have no love for anybody or for anything but his gold. He finds neither pleasure nor stimulant to higher effort in the society of othersi: He cares nothing for the. development of his mind oraoul.? The riches of the spirit haye no appeal for him; he does' not even appreciate .them in the "lives of "others. What a pitiful end comes to such a narrow, empty, useless life I His gold which has not enriched or giVen larger oppor tunity to others or the world, he must leave behind. ; No friends, no loved ones regret or mourn his departure. He passes into the great beyond with no record of usefulness or gfcod deeds to his credit, with no riches of the heart. He goes to meet his Maker naked, empty a spiritual beggar. How sad! How pitiful! '. ., , ! Yet, how much different from this is the earthly end of one who has spent his life,-hi3 thought, his energy and ef forts entirely in the production and handling of the things of the physical life? Although he may have added to the material wealth and comfort of the wprid .and be entitled to credit for that, when the light of eternity breaks upon: his soul, what will such, a one have to show as the result of his life here? I And this is not intended as a condemnation of the business man. The world could not run. without him ; j land the more thoroughgoing, energetic and enterprising he is the better. Whatever ones vocation, let him strive to be the best in his line; he owes this to himself as well as to the world. 4 But giving the best that is in one to his business or voca tion will not prevent his accumulating some.oi tne ncnes oi the spirit Giving his best to his business may even help him to giye the best that is in him to the development of I the kingdom of heaven within himself and in the world, when he comes to realize" that -the things that are .reallyt wdrth while are not the material things of life, but the indestruct ible things, those things that abide, not alone for this life, but in. eternity.

Brown Blackwell. who died Saturday, Nov. 5i! in Elizabeth, N. J., at the age; of 96. Born in a I03 cabin l'it Henrietta, J. Y., Ma 20, 182$, Antoinette Brown we? obliged: j as a child to earn hei living, and at 15 was teaching school for dollar- a week. Sh3 was admitted to Oberlin college in the erly 40s, and there form ed a friendship with Lucy Stone, co-operating with her In organiz ing the jtirst debating society ever formed j among college girls. In 1847 she was reluctantly .admit ted tojjthq Oberlin Theological seminary, but prejudice was so strong tjhat a special, rule was passed jto prevent : her ' from . pay ing her j expenses y teaching in the preparatory school then con nected with' the j college. - Her friends, howerer, aided her in for ming ai Wivate class In drawing. ; In IS 15 she had begun - public speaking, and after taking her degree ib theology she returned to the lecture platform, but with a brief , jinterim devoted to mis sionary j fend social work In New York. Sometimes she was paid as much j as $100 for a lecture, a large sum In those days. In 1818 she began to preach, and Horace Greeley and Charlis A. Dana of fered, to guarantee her , a salary of $100( in New .York, but she felt her training and experience to be Inadequate, and in 1832 ac cepted atcall to thej Congregation al church t South Butler, N.' Y. where -she was ordained In the Queen of the valley! Fair Salem, we hall thee! A city so cleanly: so spacious each street. Thy trees, and they flowers! Thy people so genial! Methinks. pretty Salem, thou are hard to beat. Embedded 'midst orchards of peach, plum and cherry, With boughs bending low; the Father's rich gift. A gem in the midst of nature's choice blessings; A drive through our highways, and mental clouds lift. Your Tine schools of learning, where character broadens, A glory to city to country, and state. Your bright, charming river that forms your west border. The lesson It teaches, in progress, how great! O city of churches! And state grounds delightful With autumn's gay coloring, 'neath blue shaded skies. Q fountain o pure, could wrong thoughts come nigh thee, From Uie hearts of thy people sin lurk in disguise? . No cyclone; No blizzards! I miss the mosquitos. How I love your cool climate on midsummer nights; With "Soranns" and weather both working together, Sweet dreams should result', if one's conscience is right. We know, dear Salem, your winters are wet ones, We know that they challenge kid curlers with mist. We know that the style of your doughnuts has altered, 'Cause the twisted ones simply won't' stay in a twist Your peanut brittle, just won't stay brittle, 1 The salt in the shaker refuses to shake: But don't' we know. too. that if everything pleased us. How monotonous, how inactive, our poor mental state And after a summer of cream and fat berries. Fair weather, fun camping! O bliss, all serene! Who, who but a traitor would run off and leave thee? Let the rain, if it will, come down in a stream! All lives need some dark days, for deep meditation; We need to be tested, and tried, to grow strong. If nothing but sunshine attended our pathway, From whence, would come strength to battle the wrong? O Salem, the beautiful! Blessings attend thee! Success and advancement for aye be thy lot! Where the future may find me, in memory's store room I'll think of thee ever a God chosen spot! MRS. GRACE BOWER. Letter Accompanying the Above. Editor Statesman: I am from Iowat -Came to Oregon first of June, to visit in vl cin4y of Salem a few weeks, and am here yet I am in love with Oregon, 'as I have been as far as the coast twice, and have seen much -of the Willamette valley.
