(Established 1878) > WHY LIVE? A St.Louis millionaire killed himself. No scandal, ‘no loss of fortune, no, unbearable disappointment had fallen upon his life, and yet he was tired of living. Se This man had accumulated millions. He had a mansion to live in, a family to love and live for, many friends and health. His neighbors had just ; honored him by nominating him as their candidate ‘ae for Congress. He had everything most men wish for, everything all young men set before them as goals worthy the strongest effort. And yet his life wasn’t worth living. Why? At the same time, in the same city, a man of 72 lay in the charity ward of.a hospital. He was putting up a brave battle for life. He wanted to live. He had been a failure in life, as failures are reckoned. This old man had never earned as much as three dollars a day. His home long ago was broken up by death of wife and children. His friends long since have passed away, or forgotten him. He had nothing to live for, and no one to care whether he lived or didn’t. Yet he was exceedingly anxious to live? Why? Can it be that the highest goal in life is not wealth, fame, family, friends? Can it be’ that there is something more to life than possession of money, mansions, health? , Can it be that this = “gomething” missing out of the millionaire’s life was present in the pauper’s life, and out-weighed the lack of home, health, friends, fortune, fame? DISASTER COMING? Oswald Spengler has written a book, the “Death of Western Civilization,” which reviewers regard as noteworthy. He compares the future with the past and declares that the civilization of western Europe (which of course includes America) has reached its limit and is about to come to an end. When a civilization is broken up it means dis- ., aster for individuals. Even a railroad strike may H * starve acity. But if disaster overwhelms the civ- ilized peoples of today it is their own fault. Some writers attribute the fall of Rome to the weak- ness caused by malaria; but today medical sci- ence is competent, as'it never was before, to over- come the plagues that once laid peoples low. . With scientific agriculture and a world to draw “on for supplies, no country need be starved by lo- . cal famines. The wider civilization spreads the 1 = Jess it has to fear from barbarian invasion. The <4 invention of local self-government within a nation 1 diminishes the chance of despotism. } In all these respects modern civilization was an , : advantage over all those that preceded’ it. What i threatens it most is mutual misunderstanding be- tween its own different nations or classes. But | = here also it has an advantage over former civiliza- i tions. Christianity and Buddhism are both re- ligions of peace and sympathy.. Slavery, once uni- versal, is a thing of the past; and the exploitation of others is recognized as bad morals and (in the end) bad economics. THE WINNING RUN When the batter brings in the winning run, or when someone casts the deciding vote, all eyes are fixed upon him and for the moment the whole world seems to turn on him. But afterwards he takes his place amongst his == fellows, for, in fact, his play or his vote were no more important than those of all the others, with- out whose effort or whose thought his own would nt have counted at all.

Harding (Republican Nominee for President, in a Speech Delivered at Worthington, Ohio.) We have been motoring, and in the reflections of the ride, while driving so carefully that one could look from the road occasionally, I found my- self likening modern travel to sore of the prob- lems of life. I discovered that when the going was smooth we went along speedily and comfort- ably, and then occasionally we found spots rough, so thoroughly out of repair that we had to detour. But I observed always that just as quickly as we could, we always got back on the main highway again, and I likened that to a very recent experi- ment in government. The torn-up condition of the world took us tem- porarily off the main, forward track, and I think it is the business of the people of the United States of America to get back on the main road again. Then I thought of another, somewhat similar par- allel, that when you build a road that, you expect humanity to travel over you must not only build for future usey but you must commit yourself to the upkeep of the road—and I likened that,to the experience of government. You must not only build on a foundation for the future, but it is per- fectly futile to build if you do not give some atten- tion to the upkeep, and the biggest problem in life today is the upkeep of modern civilization. Then I noted one other—a highway for modern travel is not any good if it does not haye a:perfect foundation. . There has never been a perfect high- way builded since modern civilization began if it did not have a good foundation. My mind ran back to some sections in our country where we built the old corduroy roads, and they were always pass- able, because underneath the surface were the lumber and logs which made the foundation, and you could always get across. Make the application again. If you' have a firm foundation you can always get on, no matter what the immediate surface conditions may be. And again I make the application of government. The United States of America must hold to a firm foundation no matter what the immediate sur- face conditions may be. I don’t take those things to have. a partisan’ application, my countrymen; Iam not thinking of partisan policies out loud at any rate—but I venture to make one remark and you make the application—because the world has always, foundations necessary to government. I .am not looking backward. I am just clinging to necessity. The story of civilization is a very interesting one, and I think I can make the application to this meeting this afternoon. We get on in life by touch- ing elbows and exchanging ideas, and that is the story of man. Civilization has progressed throughout the world just as ideas have been ex- changed and men have come in contact with one another. When they began to exchange ideas they began to exchange products. And then camé the expansion of world civilization, and I liken that to your association of various lines of activi- ties and endeavors.’ I want to preach to you as a fellow citizen, not as a candidate for office,:the supreme necessity of the present-day gospel of understanding. If there is anything the world needs in the present state of turbulence, in the present state of unrest and fev- ered conditions, insurrection and: rebellion—aye, and revolution—it is understanding of men and women with one another. I don’t know but what the world needs a nerve specialist, or the brother of one, just now. f ? Seriously, the biggest need of the hour in America, the biggest need of the hour in Europe, in all of Europe, is to securely settle down and take stock, and to know where we have drifted in the great tumult of world war, and to get our foot firmly on the right track again, and then, in un- derstanding with one. another, move on to fu- ture accomplishmentgand the triumph of civiliza- tion. : ; I do not think I am pessimistic, but I tell you, my countrymen, there is just so much of menace in the world this evening as there was in the midst of the tumult of war. Civilization has not become steady again. There are wars in Europe today, threatened industrial revolutions through- out the world. There is an assault on our ‘inher- ited civilization, and I want our country to steady down, to come to an understanding of our inherit- ance, and let. America stand as a barrier against the onrush of revolution and destruction through- out the world. eee We of America have had the supreme inherit-}- ance, and it is the patriotic wish of every citizen quite without regard to political affiliations to preserve that inheritance. Some of us may dif- fer as to method, but I beg to speak this afternoon seriously. and solemnly. Let us hold fast to that which came to us first through the sacrifices of the founding fathers, and then through those who gave us the preservation of this Union, and cling to the firm foundation, certain we can always go on safely, and make an effort to get back on the In the Olympic swimming events, manyypicked; tight track again and go ahead in the United States of America. SSS Ss SSS SS XB, Vir a GAN TSS A GOMPERS’ MESSAGE, Washington, Aug. 24.—President Wilson never put into any note to Ger- many more thought or more conscien- tious or painstaking labor than Sam- uel Gompers, President of the Ameri- ean Federation of Labor, is putting in- to his Labor Day- message to Ameri- ca’s workers. ~ Normally, Sam can, talk or write la- bor messages with his eyes shut. But the old forms and the old appeals somehow don’t fill the bill today. No- body recognizes that more fully than Gompers. So instead of attempting to prepdre his Labor Day message in his office at federation headquarters, where he would be subject to inter- ruptions, intrusions and conflicting suggestions, he had packed his grip, bought an extra box of cigars and dis- appeared. Ht He will stay in hiding for a full week at least, and when he emerges hopes to bring back with him a mes- sage that will give America, both in and out of organized labor, a new un- derstanding of the aims, aspirations and program of the A.

It also marks a new step in the co- ordination of our inland waterways with out ocean shipping. Heretofore shipping on,the James River has been restricted to traffic moving between Richmond and Newport News or Nor- folk.

BROTHER’S KHAKI MAKES EXCELLENT TOURING UNIFORM 1;Girls Choose It for Making Cross-country Tour in. Autos Girls have discovered a new use for brother’s discarded army uniform. Many women are adopting the uni- form for cross-country _ automobile tours. Hardly a day passes but that three or four girls are seen gettij out a dust-covered machine for a briet respite, clad in a reminder of the days of 1918. “Making a cross-continent tour by automobile is a lot of pleasure, but it if no trip on which to wear a chic summer Glothes,” declared one young woman who passed through Bis- marck. At the beginning of the tour- ist season only occasionally was the khaki uniform seen, but as the season advanced it came more and more in evidence. Notsall have adopted the uniform —perhaps not all have a brother who was in the service. A lot.of the tour- ists are wearing overalls. Yesterday. a young woman appeared on the streets clad in khaki overalls and khaki shirt; with a neat little gather- ing at the bottom of the ~ trousers, through which protruded a . dainty foot embellished in a high-heeled shoe.

They are, however, of very little in- terest, for they do not appear to be associated with health in any way, and should therefore, occasion no worry. Q. I had two boils on the cheek, an they left a mark. Is there any way this could be removed, as I am only 19 years old, arid people know at once that the mark is not a wrin- kle?—"A.
