Senator Caraway, democrat, Ar- kansas, opened it by saying he had received information that Secretary | of Agricultrue Hyde sent his Christ- mas cards out postage free under the franking privilege extended of- ficial business. Hyde replied he had not. cards sent under frank, he said, were from the department to thos: who had aided its work during the | year and to members of the senate | and house agriculturc committees. An official of the post office de- partment said a few cards not en- | titled to frank had been sent over | rom Hyde's office through an office error but that the small amount of postage due had been paid im- | mediately the mistake was discov- | ered. | Mentions Relief Opposition | The | In bringing up the matter, Cara- | way said Hyde “was opposed to | using government meney to succor | states but I understand he used it to send out Christmas cards.’ Hyde said sufficient proof that the franked cards were official greet- ings only “can be adduced from the fact that Senator Caraway received one.” “The number of these cards sent | out this year,” he continued, “was about 900. The postagc would have been about $18. “The senator’s interest in starving babies is very touching. It is hard | to sce how the payment of $18 to| the post office departmeut by this| department would have changed the | status of any babies—whether starv. ing or otherwise. The scnator’s in- terest in such babies iz I am clined to believe, both ceaderic and | political.” h cards, he added, have been sent out for 10 years and he had | not heen required by postal inspee- | tors to pay back “a lot of postage | or a cent of postag: the matter, the he was sending a sample of the of- | ficial greeting to the postal authori- | ties with a request for a ruling on whether it was entitled to travel postage free. sec!

Pessimism has always been one aspect of thought and the present brand is but an echo of that | which has gone before, he said. In 1825, France had had her revolution that was to bring order and peace to the realm, had had Napoleon and then Waterloo. Pessimism was in the air. None of the great hopes had been fulfilled. Goethe and Schopen- hauer, writing at that time, forecast only the most dire events and the latter had even counseled universal suicide as a remedy. Five years pass- ed. In 1830, a new generation sprang up and genius blossomed in Paris garrcts. The names on the European | tongue were Gautier, Balzac, Paine, Hugo, Dickens, Thackeray, Tenny- son, Carlyle and a host of others. Exuberance and optimism were in order, Pessimism was forgotten. The present wave of pessimism started in 1914 and will eventually end as did the last, Dr. Durant said. “The thing we must realize is that each age sees an upward trend in belief,” he declared. “We are realiz- ing that wealth and power do not in themselves mean progress. Bacon | said ‘Knowledge is power. That is | tallacious. in that knowledge is neu- tral and can either kill for you or heal for you. But knowledge is only real when it can bring Kindliness and beauty, understanding and peace to the soul. Each age is draw- ing on the experience of the past in achieving this end. “Let us accept a pessimistic view e and fall of great nations. wledge that Egvpt, have lo: eir n splendor. We may agree uropean writer who Europe shows the same sig cadence that led to the fall of Rome Materially they have gone But Plato, Aristotle, Horace, Homer and Virgil are as alive now and perhaps more widely understood than cver before. Let us consider ge s, in history of the race. Let us agree with the pessimist in that material splendor has gone, but let us go farther than that and embrace a larger belief, kind has learned from the and that ave man in each successive generation is better for what went before. Rising and falling are but the instruments for mankind's development “The essential history civilization. Dr. Durant closed his talk by say- ing that the important milcstones in man’s development were speech, dis- covery of fire and light, conquest of animals, passing from hunting to agriculture, social organization and betterment physically, mentally and morally, invention, sci- ence, writing and education.
