NOME. ALASKA, OCT. 9, 191$.
John l>. Rockefeller says that the
way to attain great age is not to
worry. About what? The present, or
the tutuie life? If the former, why,
most of us haven't enough millions
siilted down y>t to assure us our bread
and butler and coal at present prices,
n wo should live to be very old.
This weather doesn’t help the water
on ivhants any, for rain barrels are
mil lo overflowing all the time.
President Wilson is reported to be
anxious to meet former progressives
who are now supporting him. His de
sires are not likely to be gratified in
any large quantities.
George Halley of the Houston Post,
stauneh democrat as he is. cannot re
frain from saying: "The president
signed the eight hour law twice. It
only required one signature to make
it outrageous.”
WHY SHOULD WE WORRY?
The present hour is heavy with
seemingly insoluble problems. Collec
Uve human thought faces on all sides
enoditions of such magnitude and im
portance as humanity has never before
been called on to solve. There is the
Kuropean war with its present awful
ravages which must come to an end
some time with some sort of a settle
ment or series of settlements. There
is the aftermath of the war when, It
would seem, want and misery must
prevail In the world as never before.
In our own country there is the un
equal distribution of the products of
our collective industry, a highly or
ganized system of political machinery
whereby great wealth accrues to the
few and only a living wage to the
many. We have what seem to be
problems that not only involve our
national honor but also our national
existence. We have the problem of the
high cost of living and consequent
imperative demands by all who have
organized themselves to do so for an
increased wage which in turn, if
granted, and the distribution of profits
he not changed, can result only in a
further Increase in the cost of living.
We are facing what many aver to be
an unprecedented indifference to the
spritual aspets of life and a growing
laxity of morals whose only outcome
can be racial degeneracy. Those and
many other things weight heavily
upon the minds of many people.
Pondering on these great questions
is apf to depress one, to cast a shad
ow over one’s life, to deprive one of
one's birthright of happiness, and to
what purpose? What is the burden
of thought and worry that a con
scientious man is called upon to bear
regarding all these things? How best
can he do his full duty? What is the
nearest and most logical thing for each
one of us to do?
Why should one worry and become
miserable, for Instance, over the thou
sand and one problems growing out
of the great war? It is true that we
pay more freight on our goods because
of the war. pay more for our flour,
| our beano and in (act (or nearly every*
! thing that we use. But that la inevt*
‘ table und no why worry about It?
The problems of the war itself are in
the hands of the nations engaged and
belong to thenr solely at present. We
cannot by taking thought help them.
They are solving their problems in
their own way, which Is possibly the
only way. The solution will be made
! manifest in the course of time.
And so also with the problems, econ
omical and political, in our own coun
try. We have delegated power to men
who hold office to handle these mat
ters for us. It Is their business to do
the hulk of the thinking and worrying
and to bring about solutions satisfac
tory to the majority. If they fail to
do so, the maporltv probably will sub
stitute others who in their turn will
make an attempt. As units in a nation
of one hundred inllllou people each
one of us can do little more than keep
well-informed an to public affairs and
vote, and influehcc other voters If wo
can, for those men whose attitudes on
public question meet with our ap
proval. %
Certain it is that worry, depression
and despair will not help us or any
body else. On the contrary, it will
injure us and every one with whom
wc come in contact. Worry poisons
I the mind, deranges the nerves, inter
• feres seriously with those organic
functions which arc necessary to our
well being. Worry injures us montal
ly. physically and spiritually.
Our plain duty then is to leave the
problems of the war and of national
import in the hand* of those whose
place it is to deal with them. Our
duties arc nearer home. First we may
help ourselves and our community by
throwing aside gloom, and worry, and
misgivings, (they can be thrown aside)
and by looking at life cheerfully. We
can fmlle even when we are being
| hurt and it is often best to do so. By
being cheerful we encounter cheerful
I ness because, as has often been said,
j life is a looking-glass and when we
look at It we see only a reflection of
ourselves. If we are polite, consider
ate, hopeful and happy we encounter
1 politeness, consideration, hopefulness
and happiness. If we are filled with
——i , - ■ i. ■ i
misgiving, dread and misery wo are
likely to Infect those about us with
those qualities and thus the circle in
which we move is injured.
But, while our plain duty toward
the great problems of the world should
not be allowed to weigh us down by
their immensity and complexity, we
should not fall to remember that we
have political duties at home which
are of immediate concern to each of
us. We must try to elect our best
men and women to municipal and ter
ritorial otHfiBoes and must concern
ourselves with the way they transact
the public business.
But there does not seem to be any
need for worry about our local mat
ters and the larger affairs of the world
are not in our hands at all, so. why
should we worry?
