A man’s life, it seems, is as long «« the sight
of^his eye. It is directly relative to the size of the
world ip which he lives- Time was when this world
was limited to the visible, to what could be taken
in by the eye on its,own.
‘ ’
Not now. The telescope came and extended the
world farther and farther into the sky, measuring
of billions of billions of additional miles of elbow
room in that direction» The microscope came and
measured off figurative billions and billions of ad
ditional miles in the other direction. Out in the
newly discovered reaches of the upper world, the
world of gigantic forces, the telescope-aided eye
learned hundreds and hundreds-of things that helped
to make the life of a man a little easier and a little
longer. Out in the new reaches of the lowej* world,
the eye first found horrors and then safety. It dis
covered billions of billions of unseen, infinestimal
but deadly enemies, and discovery was but the first
step toward conquering them. With all this the life
of man was stretched out from twenty to fifty-eight

Now comes Dr. Mayo .to announce the ultra-
microscope which will stretch out the average life
to seventy or more- There will be additional billions
of billions of hitherto unseen enemies, of course,
enemies so small that even the microscope could
not reveal them. This will be additional horror, but
eventually additional security, for seeing the enemies
will be the first step in conquering them.
This should be an especial lesson for the apostles
of all creeds of all kinds of suppression. Nothing
is terrible once it is dragged out in the open and
into the light. It is the hidden things, the things
covered Up, that do the damage.

I What Others Say
(Lincoln County Leader)
On The Road To Eighty
x Professor Irving Fisher predicts that by the
end of the century, America will have become a
nation of octogenarians. There*Will be* young folks
too at that time we surmise, but we shall all have
become so disgustingly healthy and the medics will
have developed such miraculous efficiency that we
shall be germ-proof. The result w ill be an unusual
percentage of old folks hanging around waiting for
their arteries to harden before booking passage to.
the new Jerusalem.
Still germs aren't the only things which make
life hazardous — and interesting. We may sterilize
society and fumigate it and put it on a scientific diet
and give it setting up exercises every morning
and still leave it plenty of opportunity to play daily
tag with death*
The octogenarian fiiust have run the gauntlet
of poisoned hooch, of grade crossings, of automobile
hit and run speeders, of footpads and of county
sheriffs who shoot first and investigate after. The
process of getting to be 80 years old may be more
scientifically regulated in the future, hut it is
bound still to be an exciting one.
What Will The Senate Do
Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania spent some
$700,000 to secure his nomination. Senator-elect
Smith of Illinois spent some $600,000, a large part
of it coming from the public utility corporations
Subject to his jurisdiction as chairman of the state
utilities commission.
The senate is already on record as declaring that
so comparatively modest a sum as $195,000, spent
by Senator Newberry of Michigan, is harmfill, de
moralizing, menacing to the republic and altogether
intolerable.
Will the senate therefore refuse to admit Vare
and Smith to its August membership.
