AGE BRINGS ITS PENALTY
-♦ ♦ ♦
Of all human life there are none like age. Age
bring? suffering that is mu i more keenly felt thsr.
any other. And the worn thing about age that gross
so sauce anguish is that it culls for dinity. Conven
tionality uas arbitrarily fixed to age in such a manner
that wrinkle- and gray hair without dignity is likely
to cause comment- Not that age is by nature di
nified but should age play youth, corventi onahiy would
be highly offended.
Dignity is more or less a sort of artificial accom
plishment that is culitrated with age. And just at
that age when a man should he serious, if be feels that
be would like to play “kiddy'' a again but fear? conven
tionality, it is then that age brings suffering.
People talk of “wearing a smile, of “getting Use
habit” and all that. This is wrong. One should be
serious most of she rinse. As a matter of fact we all
bare met persons who were newer serious, always
speaking with a jest, with never a foot on the solid
ground of the practical an-i who were just as much bores
as those who are always serious. It is well to smile
but dignity that is supposed to accompany age cannot
afford to appear foolish to company however anxious
one may be to play “kiddy” again. Thus age goes on
(earing a trai. mark-sd with suffering, the creature of
cofiTPE n i_ C”iL<LLu ;y.

THE BEAST IN MAN
Periodically some men commit attacks that
prove them brutes of the lowest order. That s ex
amplified is the man who killed those men near Ear
Lake, is the Yukon Territory recently. In this mas.
it wss to apparent reason to beli^w, cr ever, to
szrpert that in his black bean murder awaited the
sh': >5 opportunity, and that on an imaginary wren
he you.» become an ugly K»<t with she lies ire for
blood. We can understand that the passion for
revenge when a real wrong has been committed may be
come at times iisusffrable. and how it may become a
pressing temptation for revenge when She opportunity
presents itself. Bat she coo' yet unreasoning ferocity
displayed by that man in the killing of five men who
had committed no wrong, is inexpkable.
Cases like this are rare of course, and fortunate
ly so. Such a man is in a class by himself. But
the worst part of it is that he declared war against all
those men. yet showed no sign of his beastly instict un
til he had accomplished his deed. It may be that we
are wrong in oar belief that in some men total deprav
ity and inherent, incontrcllable fercsity exist, yet
cases like this leave* little choice.

SENATOR SILVER'S EXHIBIT
Last Saturday evening, the Progressive-Minor re
ceived a box of celery and potatoes from Senator Sail
er's garden for display purposes. The display is now
in the window for everybody to look at. But for
goodness’ sake, let everybody hurry as the vegetables
look too good to be wasted and we want to take
them home. But we dare not until everybody has seen
them, because the Senator would be offended, and the
last thing we want to do is to offend the Senator for
fear of cooling off his generosity. For the excellent
\ display, the Senator can take the cake well take
the vegetables,

AMERICA A KNOT OF JONGL1NG NATIONALITIES
The h mud States owes a duty to other nations,
we should so act as to show that we are one in a com
munity of nations, with common rights ana common
» cuties. and that we are fit by our own trained strength
I to do our duty to others as well as to ourselves. This
; auty the United States can never perform until and
; uniess she acts purely as a nation, not as a knot of
jangling nationalities . If America means nothing but
a squabbling congeries of German-Americans, Insh
Ameitcans, Eng.ish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, then
it is not worth while to have it a nation at alL Every
man in our country who seeks to divide himself from
his fellow Americans along lines of creed or national
origin is a oau American. Every man in this country
who seeks to shape the policy of the nation, not in ac
cordance with the interests of the United States and of
humanity at large, but in accordance with the interests
ci the nation fretn which his ancestors sprang, is
a thoroughly unworthy and unpatriotic citizen and
should leave the country, to whose welfare his mere
1 resenee is a menace.—Theodore P.oosevelt ir. LTe
October Metropolitan.
