Going Forward to Nature
Life Is Rcc.Kiiiij M r.' Complex Every Year
"Back to nature" is a popular slogan in many quar
ters. It is seldom taken seriously.
The "back to nature" people all end up in New York
or Chicago. '
. They go back to nature for two or three days and
back to the city for life.
Man dislikes to sleep on the ground.
He does not relish being bitten by mosquitoes and
other insects.
Clean beds appeal to him more than a bed of leaves.
Clean, well lighted, well ventilated houses seem bet
ter to him than dark, damp, poorly ventilated caves.
Sidewalks and paved streets meet his approval.;
Wading in mud does not.
Books, newspapers, schools, libraries, art galleries,
etc., attract him. ;
"All 'modern improvements" make life comfortable
and saves time.
Shall we go "back to nature" or "up to nature?"
What is man's natural state? There are two answers
to this.
One school of- thought holds that man was always
civilized They hold that savagery is a degenerate state.
They maintain that there is no evidence of a time
when man was not civilized. There .are many facts that
appear to Support this view.
. Another school holds that man has slowly evolved
; from a lower form of animal life. They hold that civiliza
tion is the crowning result of a man's slow progress and
adaptation.
According to this school, man adapts himself to his
environment- He is not what he was - twenty thousand
years ago. He is adapted to the civilized life.
Whichever view we accept, man's present natural
atate' Is otie of civilization'. .yJinummomiri) I "vras
To attempt to live like the animals of forest and
field would be degeneracy on either theory.
Back to nature in this sense is not desirable. It would
mean the destruction of man's achievements during the
last few thousand years.
There is no reason to believe this would better man
physically and mentally.
In fact, civilization, rightly used, should improve man
in every way. That it is abused is not the fault of civ
ilization." Man has himself to blame for this.
With the population of the world as great as it now
is, what we call civilization is absolutely essential. Back
to a primitive state would mean extinction for half the
rnce.
Civilization is not perfect. It has many glaring de
fects. In many respects it is top-heavy. It is too complex.
Its vices are many and increasing. Many of its best
miads are at work devising means of destruction.
Life is becoming too complex. The human constitu
tion is unable to endure the strain that is placed upon it.
The mind becomes bewildered- Specialism becomes
necessary. Specialism leads to a one-sided development.
Specialists become puffed up. They refer to those ig
norant of their specialties as hicks and morons.
Life should become more simple. It must become
more simple. Unless it does so civilization will suffer by
deteriorating civilized man.

General Andrews, the new prohibition head, says
he will try to dignify the prohibition enforcement busi
ness, and he wants $50,000 a year men to put the thing
over. That would be fine. We'll take one of those jobs
at $50,000 a year, as that is a trifle more than the print
ing business pays us. Creswell News.

"Reggie" Vanderbilt has died. He inherited $15,
000,000 and lived a life of case and gaiety. He is dead
at 45 yours of age, at a time when most men are entering
upon their greatest usefulness. There is no evidence to
show that Vanderbilt used his money in any public move
ment or for the good of society. His passing leaves no
void. Albany Democrat-Herald.

Dinner Stories
A little son of Italy 12 years
old came to his teacher in a New
York public school an1 ,-sked if he
could not have his name changed.
"Why do you want to change
your name?' the teacher asked.

"What American name would
you like?"
"I have It here," he sold, hand
ing the teacher a dirty scrap of
paper on which was written: "rat
rick Dennis McCarty."
When David Lloyd George, ex
British premier, was a young
country solicitor In Wales, he was
riding home in his dogcart one day
and came upon a little Welsh girl
trudging along so wearily that he
offered her a ride. Sho accepted
silently, but all the way along, al
though he tried to en.tage her In
conversation, he could not get her
to say anything more than a timid
"yes" or "no."
Some days afterwards the girl's
mother happened to meet l.loyd
George, and said to him smilingly,
"Do you remember that my little
girl rode home with you a short
time ago? Well, when sue got
home she said: 'Mamma, I rode
home from school with Mr. l.loyd
George, the lawyer, and he kept
talking to me, and I didn't know
whatever to do, for you know Mr.
Lloyd George charges when you
talk with him. and I hadn't any
money. "
The mother heard a great com
motion, as of cyclones mixed up
with batterlngrams, and sho hur
ried upstairs to discover what was
the matter. There she found Tnm-
mle sitting In the middle of I ho
floor with a broad smile on his
fare.
"Oh, mamma." snld he delight
edly, "I've locked grandpa and
Uncle George In the cupboard, and
when they get a little angrier I am
going to play Daniel In tho lion's
den."
As the celebrated soprano began
losing little Johnnie became great

of the orchestra conductor.
"What's that man shaking his

"Sh-h! He's not shaking his
stlrk at her."

Even a sense of humor may ex
ist In excess. There is a case of a
British soldier who was sentenced
to he flogged. During the flog

"Why." Ihe soldier chuckled,
