Yes, we admit the charge, of it. The Star can think a radical for the people's rights Joe Smith radical? You bet he’s radical! nd we're mighty glad and proud of no gr virtue th HANGED if we're going to sit still under that $3,000 verdict for the New York girl who was kissed 1,236 times by a fellow who courted her for 14 years. A girl who couldn't work more than 88 kisses per year out of a fellow didn't deserve anything. Tt is not play that tm t and Two-thirds means. where Thus does Dr. Woods t moat to be Hutchinson set forth a fundamental fact underlying life as we see it today. When we think about his words We cannot but admit that it is a fact, and when we think a little fur ther it comes home to us how significant a fact It ts—how potent in fits bearing upon our common life. It is a cherished belief of certain folk who are not themselves in clined to practice the more obvious vices, that folk drink and make fools of themselves because they are inherently wicked. But th truth is that folk drink and make fools of themselves merely becaus they are tired. They are unfortunate rather than wicked. Of course, many of these folk are to be blamed, in a way are weak and they pander to their own weakness. Many of them could get out of the mire if they would. But there are many who cannot. Look at the stoker coming ashore after a long week's gruelling work in the furnace room. Look at the brain worker, fagged by long hours of mental concentration. Look at the gilded youth, sad with the utter tiredness of do-nothingness. One goes to a grog shop, another to a hotel bar, still another to his club. Each drinks because he is tired—either physically or mentally, or both—not because he is fun mentally wicked. They want to forget their weariness, and they t the shortest cut they know to forgetfulness. It’s the joy of life that we knew once, but have lost and cannot find any more, that lures us on to drink—for drink will avail all up for a brief space the phantasm of that joy. When we were children we did not need to seek the joy of life But that was before we had forgotten how to play. THE S&S. E. CO. says the election of Joe Smith would be an insult! to it. We think Smith’s election would be more like a slap right be- tween the 8. E. Co.'s eyes. A QUINTILLION BABIES Dr. Charles W. Eliot, successor of Theodore Roow in-chief to the univers children. If our memory serves aright, the family of which the doctor fs the distinguished head had just one. But let that pass. One admirer of the Eliot philosophy has been sitting up nights to figure out where the race Would land if the doctor's advice were taken. He informs us that by the 12th generation the population would be standing on each other's shoulders three deep on every foot of dry land on the globe. The census would show a total of over one quintiliion. Ever see a quintiliion in print? At the risk of getting Mr. Rockefeller all stirred up, we print the figure, but without the dollar mark. Here it is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000—19 figures. Count ‘em! Dr. Eliot never opens his mouth without saying something. And what he says always arouses interest. But one should never stop to analyze it. Men have become raving maniacs with less excuse than one can find in trying to work out an Eliot idea to a logical conclusion. velt as adviser supreme court by Governor Hay, a republican. Encouraging, isn’t it? BUSINESS LOOKING UP The announcement that the Southern Pacific raflroad will double track its entire line from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean has revived confidence in the business world beyond anything that bas happened in recent months. It is a $75,000,000 job. True, the improvement is literally forced by the abounding growth of the West and the decision of congress in favor of San Francisco) for the world’s fair, but its stimulating effect on business is none the less marked on that account. A new note of confidence is heard throughout the land. big country, and there's something doing most of the time, Keep cheerful. But don’t get excited. And don't go to sleep!
