SECRETARY OP STATE BRYAN, in bis paper, the Commoner, comment ing on tbo true purposes of education, whether It is "to soar or to sorve," uses the following illustration: "The buzzard and the boe may bo taken as representing two views of life. The buzzard soars high, but never gots so high but that it is looking for somothing to oat; when it dies it leaves nothing to make its exist ence remembered. The bee, on the other hand, has an instinct for sweetness; ( it knows where the houoy is. It feeds upon the best wliilo it lives; whon it ' dies it leaves a monument of honey to make the world glad that it has lived The buzzard must bo a buzzard and we 'cannot blame it for it. The boe must be a bee and deserves no credit for it; but man is frco to choose which ho will imitato, the buMord or tho beo. Somo imitate one, some imitato the other. There are those who, howovor high thoy go, are always looking for something . to eat, something to wear, somothing for themselves; when such an one dies the world is not grieved. There aro others who produce more than thoy con sume, and whon they dio thoy leave the world richer than thoy found it." All of which is true as well as trite. The illustration is apt, but it only touches tho preface and does not go into the meat of the matter, which is thnt we as a people encourage tho buzzard and look with contempt on tho boe stylo of humanity. True, once In a great while we run across a boe that stirs our admiration aud for a little while takos our eyos off the buzzard, Edison is inich a bee. Luther Burbank is another. There are no doubt thousands of others that should attract our attention, but somehow they do not. It is dif ferent with the buzzard class of human beings. Any old buzzard will draw our attention, and hold it, too. J. J. Hill is an apt illustration. James Pior pent Morgan and Rockefeller mako another noble pair. As for tho great flock of the birds, just take a look at the bank accounts and you have it. There are some thousands of millionaires In the United States who have done nothing for the botturmont of humanity, but whoso names are familiar to every one, for the simple reason that they have monoy, and sail the upper skies whoro they, like other buzzards, aro always In evidence. Wo aro not finding fault with this class for gathering in the sesterces. Coin is a very handy thing to have around tho house, and wo could stand a trifle mora of It. As Mr. Bryan says: "Thoy aro buzzards and are not to be blam ed for bein buzzards." If there is anything discreditable in tho fact that tho buzzards occupy the sky to the antiunion of everything else, it Is not their fault but that of the people generally. Individually wo all bow down and pay rev erence to wealth. Colloctivoly wo do the same thing. Tho press plays the millionaires up, ond tho publle breaks its unck to road about them. Hnlfpogo pictures are printed In tho big city papers when tho daughter of somo million aire buzzard is married to or divorced from some nialo buzzard, for no other reason Can the parties have great wealth. Wo strenuous Democrats fall for the worship of aristocracy, the only kind we recognize, that of wealth. Charles W. Clates was only a young buzzard and he never did anything but fly high and distribute big tips, but tho newspapers wro all full of his suddenly drop ping from tho social skies, and one would harnly think from tho fulsome and eulogistic notices of him in the press thet ho wns only a dead buzzard. There are undoubtedly lots of rich men who aro also good men. Ooodness is no more to tuoaosurod by poverty than by weulth, The Idea wo wish to convey is not that wealth Is evidence of wickedness, but that we as ft people handicap all goodness, and pretty much everything also by fixing wealth as tho stand aid by which lifo and success aro measu'ed. It is a false standard and one that wo should get rid of. We should emit the bee typo of humanity aud deprecate the buzzard typo, but wo will not do It, for the simple reason that ns a people wo look iikii men and moasuiu them by tho size of their bank ac counts, and this for the simple reason Hint money is what most of us most feel the need of and therefore look upon as the great desideratum of lifo. The bco type Is splendid to contemplate at a distance, but the buzzard t; pe Is tho one wo chooso to emulate. Suxo drew nn nccurute picture of the American system when he wrote: "Of all mankind I classify the lot, Those who Imvo money, and those w!io have not." FORGET THE PAST, LOOK TO THE FUTURE.

Ho far as tho election is eoucorncd, the ma'tor is settled. When the courts pet through with it, it will bo finally Mttleil at least until another election, and however It Is settled, tho proper course for all of us to pursue is to adjupt ourselves to whatever conditions the fourt leave us in. If tho election should be declared Illegal for any reason, there will b ho change; and If the election Is held legal, all we can do is to ac cept the fact regardless of individual Opinions, and go along with our usual )nslnc as heretofore, that is all, except the saloon buslnessi Kalem Is all right aud will grow ami prosper In spite of anything that may happen.

The recent election has caused considerable bitterness, naturally, and as wo must live heie together, must rise of fall together, we must all pull together aud work fur tho roiumou good; forgetting tho post and looking only to the future.

OEDDES (Staff Correspondent of the United Prose) Washington, Nov. 14. Although manv economics In the purchase of the Christmas presents, aro prophesied by the democratic tariff framers, you'd best not count too much on tho forecast this year. At any rate, you'll be wise to continue to obey that Impulse And do your Chrlstninn shopping early. It Is tho custom for the wholesalers end retailers to buy their Christmas goods luring the summer, and they are now receiving stocks bought several mouths ago before the new tsriff law went into effect. When they buy ai;in next summer, however, it Is generally believed they will be able to do so at notlcably reduced prices, which In turn are eK-tod to be noticed by Old Man Kris Kingle. In 1014. Home of the Bant Clans economies which should niMerialiso this year will is my own talents and tho fruits of do for me I will try to do for myself. mean quite a bit to Santy. First of all, tho democratic turiff framers kept Christinas trees evergreon Boodlings on tho free list. They also showed their good intentions by cutting in twain the import duties on candy. Although only 400,000 worth of foreign-made candy is expected to be imported next year, to compete with the $131,000,000 worth manufactured in this country, demo crats hope in time that the amount will bo increased and prices therefore go down, much to the joy of all sweet toothed people. Thero is ono Bad blow for tho kid dies iu the now tariff. It was the ro fusal of the democrats to reduce the import duty on foreign toys, doll heads, marbles, and other similar toys except ing thoso of china and earthenware, on which tho duty wns reduced so little, that it probably wont make very much difference. Last year Americans bought 7,881,000 worth of foreign toys on which they paid a duty of $2,7.')8,000. Christmas cards ought to bo quite a bit cheaper if you buy them by the pound for they have been reduced from five to ten cents a pound. Christ mas fruits also ought to be cheaper thiB Christmas. They seem certain to cost less next year. Oranges ought to cost from one-half to one cent cheaper un tho dozen; figs ono cent a pound cheaper ami crnnberries eight cents a quart instead of ten. Hut ono thing is certain.

Diamonds formerly woro on tho free list and a stone which cost $200 under tho old law, will cost you from 220 to $250 now, However, if you nlready have a diamond you can feel better because of its increased value. While few of tho usual, conventional Christmas gifts aro reduced In duty under tho new lay (fur tho democratic framers have generally Increased taxes on luxuries, including Santa Claus,) the rates are generally lower upon useful and wearable gifts. Mr. Bloated Bond holder's Christinas will probably cost more, but Mr, Common People may be able to reduce tho "high cost of Christ mas" next year.
