Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
GOVERNOR ARTHUR BELIFMAH,
ot New Mexico, sged . drop"
dead In his hotel room at Albuquer
que Immediately after delivering n
address to the state bankers' associa
tion. Heart (allure, the papers tell us
brought on. probably, by the slight
excitement accompanying the de
IKery of his speech.
ON THE same day. Dr. Henry Suz
talo. president of the Carnegie
Foundation for Advancement ot
teaching and iormer president ot the
University of Washington, dies sud
denly In Seattle.
Heart disease again.
m weart disease, as ol course you
I-! know, la the LEADING cause ot
death In this country.
Why? Probably because ol the kind
ot Ule we Americans lead speed, high
tension, nervous strain. t
We pay for EVERYTHING In the
Jons run, and heart dlsesse Is the
price we pay for the kind ot life we
lead.
wnhath. within the past couple ot
U days, has been choosing heavily
from among tha well known.
Rlns Lardner, famous humorist,
passes at his home In New York In
tha 48th year of his lite still
young man.
HEART DISEASE, complicated In
this instance by other ailments, Is
given by the doctors as the cause ot'
death.
ONE of the. complicating ailments
was tuberculosis, against which
he had fought for 10 years.
In all these ten years, with death
hovering always over him, ready to
swoop and strike at any moment, he
went ahead cheerfully with his Job as
a humorist, making mllllona laugh.
It takes real courage to look death
steadily In the eys and then crack
Joke.
This writer, for one, ADMIRES
courage like that.
H
SO FAR, In the news of one day, we
have been dealing with death at
retail.
At Tamptco, oil town on the east
eoast of Mexico, death la dealt out
at wholesale by a eudden hurricane
sweeping In from the Carrlbean. As
these words are written, estlmstes
clicking In otf the wires Indicate a
total of some five thousand killed or
severely Injured.
Imagine the entire population of
Ashlsnd wiped out and you csn get
some idea of the Tamplco dUaster.
AT THIS season of the year, the
tropical part of the east coast
of North America Is never free from
the fear of hurricanes. Yet people
continue to live there.
The town of Tamplco, destroyed in
a few moments without warning, will
be REBUILT.
It takes more than the fear ot
death to keep people from living
where they want to live.
M
ISA MATTER ot fact, the tear of
f death has NEVER deterred any
one really worth while from doing
what he wanted to do and considered
worth doing.
That Is at least ONI rather ad
mirable trait In human nature, along
with tralta that are not so admirable,
Most of the progress this world haa
seen haa come about because some
body had the courage to go ahead In
tha face of tear.
