"Of course I don't want to po," said the doctor, leaninjr
back in his chair with a smile. "This is a mighty interesting
world and 1 am havini.' a food time in it. Hut 1 am no more
afraid of death than I am of walking through the door to this
stiidv. Kor 1 know 1 shall have a spiritual body to do with as
1 please and I won't have to worry about the itches mid pains
of this poor physical body." 1
Lucky doctor! He has the true religion, which takes no
note of doniiia or of creed.
Death? .Merely the passing from one room to another, f,"""''
uating from a physical plane that has worn out, to a spiritual
plane that-means to be born auain. , ,
C1,A RKNC'K DARROW would shake his shaapy head and
smile sardonically at the optimistic theologian. For Uiw
yer Darrow is as certain of individual extinction after death
as Dr. Davis is of immortality. .
". Who is right? No one knows. No one can know. Hut this
much is certain. Those who cu believe as Dr. Davis believes
get more happiness out of living and far less anguish at tho
prospect of dying. Thy also have a philosophy whiclt makes
life not only more endurable, but more understandable.
MY. Darrow prides himself upon his reason, but in his con
ception of things, life has no reason no meaning at best but
a fortunate accident; at the worst, disillusion and wanton pain.
AND KINAldiV, when one comes down to brass tacks if
Lawyer Darrow is right, isn't he wrong? That is, if he is
right about death, isn't he wrong about life?
We ditln't intend to get in so deep when we started, but
here we are the' machine must have its copy it's too late
now to withdraw.
.So we shall answer this (iiestion by asking another, to-wit:
' If physical death means complete extinction, isn't the only
possible recipe for human happiness to believe what isn't true?

TAKE THE TARIFF OUT OF POLITICS
i
TIIK I'RKSKNT TARIFF situation in congress deiiionstrales
how destructive partisan politics may become.
As a matter of fact, as far as the protective tariff is con
cerned, there is no real party issue.
Kven (iovcrnor Smith in the recent campaign endorsed the
protective principle. The democratic platform ilid tl;e same.
There are southern democrats today who favor a higher tariff,
on certain products, than President Hoover.
Hut the temptation to play the old political game is too
strong for the, democratic leaders in Washington. They arc
mouthing the same old moth-eaten phrases, not because they
believe them, but because they think they may embarrass a
republican administration. ,
' It 'is really, an 'exasperating and -distressing spectacle.
There is no foundation to this democratic tariff -offensive out
sitle of partisanship, hyprociky and cant.
' The'sitniftion, however, promises to get worse before it gets
better. And in that fact perhaps lies the best hope for a .satis
factory solution.
.....
FOIITIFIC I'FOl'IdC may become so disgusted with this entire
tariff mess that they will demand the tariff be taken out
of politics entirely, anil placed where it belongs, in the hands
of a non-partisan (or bi-partisan) business commission.
There is utterly no excuse for making the tariff a political
football. President Wilson had the right idea, when he secured
the passage of the tariff commission bill.
Hut the republicans proceeded to do then what the demo
crats are doing now play partisan politics -and the com
mission virtually ceased to function, at least as the designers
of the measure intended.
Partisanship is bail enough when it is necessary. But when
no actual conflict of opinion renders it- necessary, it becomes
entirely discreditable, and should lie crushed by an aroused
public opinion.
Prohibition works all right. The growing indifference to
oiatory proves the country is sobering up.
The idea is to help the farmer as the manufacturer was
helped. Hut when two men are fighting, how can you give
both of them an unfair advantage?
Fortl and (ieneral Motors planning expansion in Knrope pay
no attention to the cry that the people are broke. They got
rich selling to that kind of people.
Historians examine a carved stone and picture an ancient
civilization. Imagine some future savant judging our era by
the fragment of a tabloid.

it near-sighted driver mistakes voti for a truck.
