PERSONAL PREJUDICES
Most of the world's best
creative work was done out
of misery, not out of happi
ness; we suspect that Shake
speare was unhappy when he
wrote "Hamlet," and we knov
that Mozart was miserable
when he composed his most
profound and beautiful music;
all art is the child of suffer
ing, even the gayest and most
ecstatic works.
Science can fell us how
to do things, but not which
things are worth doing and
which are not; until we can
develop a science of ends,
our science of means will
only betray us into follow
ing unworthy goals.
Most of our so-called beliefs
are negative, not positive; we
can say with vigor and pre
cision exactly what we arc
j against
but when asked to
profess our positive beliefs,
we are vague, general, con
uSCC and self-contradictory.
Not one person in a thou
sand knows how to livo
properly in ihe present,
with a decent respect for
the past and an intelligent
anticipation of the future;
most of us are either cap
tives of the past or ransom

our joy in the present is

maxim I could write on ev

lo ponder, it would be the
brief and devastating sen
tence by E. W. Howe, whose
truth we never recognize
until we are too old: "The
way out of trouble is never
as simple as the way in."
Every company must give
its responsible executives tite
riiihl lo be wrong not
wrong most of the time, or
company or lo himself. "Don't
rock the boat" is a slogan, that
will eventually capsize any
corporate craft.
People whose philosophy
of life is always to "look
on the bright tide" must
view the crucifixion, and
Jesus' real anguish, as
piece of capricious morbidi
ty on God's part.
Unptinctualtty may be, a
they say, a feminine trait; but
it is worth noting that it is
rarely ihe homely woman who
is late for an engagement.
Again Staking Poweron Vote
Gaulle to save France from
civil war, have grown increas
ingly restless under De
Gaulle's open contempt both
for Parliament and what he
considers the petty games of
party politics.
The result has been a se
ries of referendums which
permitted De Gaulle to by
pass Parliament and take his
policies directly to the people.
In this way came the new
Constitution establishing the
French Fifth Republic and
others by which the French
people approved independ
ence for Algeria.
On Oct. 28, French voters
again will be called upon to
ballot in a referendum. But
this time with a difference.
Even De Gaulle's staunchest
supporters concede the out

And for the first time, his
combined opposition sees a
chance to bring him down.
They started it with a vote
of censure which brought
down the government of the
De Gaulle-appointed Premier
Georges Pompidou.
The motion accused De
Gaulle of violating the Con

breach through which an ad

to overthrow the republic and
suppress its liberties."

In Minneapolis, three St.
Paul teen-agers fake a thick
German accent, pass them
selves off as foreign exchango
students, win their way into
make a speech at a money-
raising cocktail party, and get
a cordial handshake from tho
President of the United Slates,
who welcomes them lo this
country.
nPHEIR exploit leaves some
red faces, including that of
Senator Humphrey, who got
into the act, and those of tho
Secret Service men, who wero
there to see to il that no un
authorized persons got closo
enough lo our nation's Chief
Executive to be dangerous in
case they had been up to no
good.
Both the Senator and the
Secret Service men insist
that they "were never fooled
for a minute," and a spokes
man for the Secret Service
points out to the nosey report
ers who scented a good story
in the incident that the Presi
dent shook hands not only
with the teen-agers but with
the hotel employees and other
persons before going on to the
reception.
HAT shall we say about
Let's put it this way:
If our teen-agers never did
! f"'v!hinj ,more "Prehfnsible
than putting up a clever job
to gel a handshake from tho
President of the United Statc.t
at a time when he is out on
a hand-shaking tour just
ahead of an election at which
he is seeking ail the Demo
cratic voles he can influence,
we'd have nothing much to
complain about.
AMONG other things, they
got themselves a real bar
gain. Their Presidential hand
shake came for free, whereas
if they had been formal guests
at the fund-raising party it
would have cost them $300
apiece.
GOING from teen-ager an
tics to more serious sub
jects, the Supreme Court has
agreed to review the constitu
tionality of Bible reading in
the public schools.
Let's all applaud the deci
sion. If the Constitution, as pres
ently interpreted, forbids tho
reading of the Bible in our
' public schools, it's getting
about lime to AMEND the
constitution.
The Bible, among so many
other things, is GREAT LIT
ERATURE. THAT brines un the subject

me not to leave thee or to ri
tire from following thee; for
