COLUMBUS DAY ; October 12 is the 429th anniversary of the dis- covery of America by Christopher Columbus. All over the world it is celebrated as Columbus Day. What Columbus sought was a short-cut route to India, by way of the westward ocean. "What he diseovered was more than a‘continent, it, was a turning-point in ‘civilization and govern- ment. ce i ” When the fearless Italian navigator landed on} the Island of Guanahani, West Indies, in the early morning of October 12, 1492, he opened the door of the land that made, government by the people possible. Gold lured the early explorers of America. But it was refugees from European political oppression that built the foundations of the mighty civiliza- tion that has risen on the American continent. Individually, and as a nation, we owe'a tremend- ous debt to Christopher Columbus. And let us not forget the queen who pawned her jewels to finance his venture into the uncharted Atlantic Ocean. A ~ When you are discouraged or have the blues, think of the graveyard. Ina twinkling, you will brighten up, be glad you are alive at any price. Life'is sweet. Scientists say that man ‘some day will live to an average age of at least 150) years. No doubt, they think ‘that is good news. | But is it? Much as you lave life, would you care to live.to 150? If so, how about 200, 300 or 1000? ie Most old folks, who live beyond 90, go to death with a smile on their lips. They have tasted life in all its forms. ‘Wearied, they yearn for the here- after. At what age does’ the vaudeville show called life. become monotonous? Talk it over with grandpa. E Numas ‘De Cugna, famous’ in ‘Hindu ‘history; died at Bengal in 1556, when he was 370 years old. It’s too bad there is no record left of him except tradition. What answer do you think you'd get if you could call Numas up on the ouija boayd and ask him this: Beads “Numas, at what age did you weary of life? When did the stupidity of humans, making the same mistakes century after century, begin to get on your nerves? How did it seem to find all your friends dead, time after time, while you-stay- edon? If you had to live again on earth, wouldn't 100 years be enough?” . Numas probably would say. “I found my life} interesting at times, even in old age. But the * first 30 years, my -youth, were -better than all. the 340 years that followed.” Y Youth is life — all of life that is really worth living. Years that follow may-be interesting, but they would be dull without, the thrills that come from the memoriés of youth. } ea Conrad summed.it all'up.in.an allegorical story about the sea of life when journey’s end is it:sight: “Ah! The good old timé—the good .old time! Youth and the sea. Glamour and the sea!’ ‘The -good, strong sea, the salt, bitter sea, that could whisper to you and roar at you and knock your breath out of you. 4 “By all that’s wonderful, it is the sea, I believe, the sea itself—or is it youth alone? Who can tell? BRut.you here—you all had something out. of life: money, love—whatever one gets on shore—and,, tell me, wasn’t that the best time, that time when ‘we were young at sea; young and had nothing, on ‘the. sea that gives nothing except hard -knocks— and sometimes a chance to feel your strength?” CONSUMERS Ina recent speech, Andreas E. Burkhardt, pres- ident of the National Association of Retail Cloth- iers, blamed the “buyer’s strike” on newspapers and bankers, claiming they encouraged the public 2 to refrain from buying. Not,so! The so-called “buyers’ strike” was due simply to a situation in which combined retail prices exceeded the buying power of the public. a 50-cent article cannot be bought with four jimes. x : ‘ HUMAN At Prince Albert.

It is just a routine-announcement — that the President ‘has designated Frederick Funston of 'San Francisco to take the West Point entrance examination:on March 7,’1922—but it will touch a tender chord in a good many breasts. Yeung Funston is. the.son of as brave, as brilliant and as typical an American soldier as we have had in.re- ‘cent years. In the height of ‘his powers, in the, flush of his manly years, General Frederick Funs- ton was stricken down just at the moment when: his shighest and noblest ambition ‘might have ‘been lrealized. “His death occurred .on Feb. 19, 1917,; just as the nation was drawing its sword for en- {trance into the great war. . No American soldier had ever madé good in so astounding a way, perhaps,.as Funston did. He had. been a newspaper reporter, the nature of whose adventurous duties led him into actual mili- tary~service in Cuba. ‘His military talent was proved on many fields. He was a soldier of the ‘old dashing and “inspired” type. But he solidi- fied, so to speak, into an able regular commander. +No one doubts that he-would have acquitted him- self brilliantly even in the type of. static warfare [that we had)in France. viens ; | If'there is anything in the inheritance of mili- there is—we may expect much from this younger \Fregerick Funston, and we may be sure, from par- ‘ental influence as-well as'from inheritance, that he will be.a man of patriotism and spirit—Boston |mail finally is delivered.
