THK DAY OF MIHACJ.KS.
ten.
How many stop to think what
an Jnteitstlng world we are living
In, and what a wosiderful age this
Is? We have been here a long tiniain , mouths of the ciirarette fiends
eoir.e of us, and have seen a great
deal, but have learned very little.
We take things with genuine indif
ference as a rule, sometimes with
grouch, but seldom with suitable
appreciation. f
The world is old and life a stale
game, and their accurate impression
i IMtft. on mainyi of , lus. The only'
expuse we can have for being in
sensible to a tray green earth
with its song-bird accompanists
is this. The earth comes to life
and beauty in just this fashion
. once every year, and some of us
may witness the performance
something like four score times.
Not many times when you come
to think about it, but it gets old
to the majority of people before
thev have lived through it a
dozen time?. Strange, iin't it?
And the fact is not a crediJ to us
either.
There can be no excuse for our
lack of knowledge aboit the
forces coming into recognition in
the world at the present time. If
we do not know about them and
are not interested in them we are
behind, that's all. These days,
when the daily papers may be de
livered to the remotest farm
house, we do not have to be be
hind the times.
I know it is hard for people
who work to keep up with every
thing, so much is going on in ev
ery corner of the civilized world.
But, if we would set apart fif
teen minutes every day for the
reading of a good newspaper we
could keep partially informed
about the main things. It is said
that if one will vote only thir
ty minutes each day to the im
provement of his mind; to the
readir.g of gen books, and the
v search for km wle.A'i one would,
in ten years' t.me, evolve into an
intellectual giant with power to
succeed in anything he might
wish to undertake.
But we are so slow in waking
to the necessity of knowing
something that we get so far be
hind we can't even see the dust
rising from the marching feet of
progress. And then we become
discouraged and give up. Shame
on us!
One treat artist, Miss Adelia
Gates, born in New York State,
began the study of art at the age
of fifty. Those who begin some
time do the things that are done,
and those who never begin, and
spend their time in lamenting
over their lack of opportunity. It
is never too late to begin.
Sometimes I wish that I might
have been born later than I was
that I might now have a longer
time to live and make good, after
having learned some lessons that
I had to learn. But it seems we
will wander in the wilderness it
makes no difference when we
were born. The aimlessness and
the frivolity must come, all serv
ing their purpose, we will try to
believe. For another reas I
might wish I were younger. And
that is td witness more of the
marvelous things which the
awakening mind of man is going
to lead him to do.
Flying will be a tame affair be
fore such as I am out of the
world if they can find a way to
improve the aeroplane. To my
mind it is a crude machine at
present and a sort of failure. If
they cannot improve it, it will be
relegated to the rubbish heap
after a few brave ones have sat
isfied their thirst for adventure.
If the automobile-makers had not
improved over the first ones they
made, people would have been
loathe to give up the family horse
and carriage, and today you
would not see an automobile
standing at the front gate of al
most every farmhouse and the
horses playing in the pastures.
The skeptic need not now grum
ble about not being able to "swal-1
low" the miracles of the Bible,
and he will have less need of it
when the worlds possibilities,
guided by the intellect of man
kind, reach their fulfillment. The
present is full of miraculoas
achievements, and the future is
crowded with almost unearthly
possibilities. I have heard it
said by gloomy-minded people
that God had forsaken men in
these days in that He no longer

When a country is rushed into war,
mid the flaring of bands, and the elo
quence of orators who afterwards
seek the bomb proofs, it is not always
the men who go to the front who suf
fer the most, though God knows it is
bad enough for them. Those who
would rush a country into warfare
resk not the dead, the mangled, the
crippled, the sightless, the armless
and the legless that war bequeaths.
The late Mr. J. E. W. Austin used to
tell of how a ragged sodicr, flying
with tho remnants of the once proud
army before the terror of Sherman,
looked up to a cheering crowd and
bitterly exclaimed: "Yes, you waved
me into this war but you'll never
wave me into another one." Suffer as
the soldier does, his suffering is not
greater than that of the mothers and
wives who stay at home. Monroe

performed miracles for His chii

them that He was their God, just
as a mother takes care of her lit

It gives one a creepy feeling to
let the .imagination play on the
subject of the possibilities of the
human rac. Who knows that
we may not yet see our own
ghosts?. The feat of preserving
the image of the human voict so
it may be heard after death is
already accomplished. How
many of you have a little black
box on your sitting-room table
from which you can Jealize, by
pressing a lever, the voices of
dead men and women? Did you
think the vaudeville stars and
grand opera singers who have
sold their voices to the phono
graph companies could not die?
They are subject to the ills ol
humanity and die like the rest
of us?
The feat of preserving the im
age of the body so that it may
stalk across a screen before our
eyes after death, and grin at us,
is another accomplishment off
hands. These are common, well
known miracles which we have
ceased to marvel at, but miracles
just the same. To accomplish
great and wonderful things does
not impoverish the mind of man

es. and said to n,e within the past
two months. "I agree with Taft that
the mass of the people rnnn h

their preference between that senti
ment on m- one hand, andentne

1 am a Democrat. By this I
uieau that I am a partisan Demo
crat and I believe thut any figut
tor improvement in government
liould be wade inside ot the ranks
of the party founded by Jefferson,
who was responsible for whatever
of the people's rights' w ere uiain--tained
in the comproniu-e American
Constitution. 1 am a party Democrat
but more than tl.at, I am aademo-
crat in the sense of the real mean
ing of that word, and that word Is
enough. In its Creek derivation and
in actual life, it mean but one
thing and it U "rule by the peo
ple." 1 am a Democrat without
any qualification, and I believe in
"rule by the people" without any
qualification. A man who Mops ni t
believe in the rule by the people,
may t-tay in the Democratic party,
but he cannot claim to be "a Dem
ocrat without prefixes or suffixes,"
because sit will take some such
things to really describe Mm. Xm
real Democrat will ever be afraid
and try to dodge tbe word " Pro
gressive." It 1 a good word and
sure as the world and the pen-
pie progress the Democratic party
must progress.
I have been 1n ever' State Dem
ocratic Convention in North Caro
lina since the one in li00 that
nominated Ayct ck for Governor. 1
have heard the tar-t-pangled ora
tions and the stereotyped declara
tions until I have come to want
to see them take effect. Who has
ever pttended even one convention
without hearing the words "a gov
ernment of the people, by the peo
ple and for the people',' "the peo
ple shall rule," "all Jut govern
ment derive Its power from the
consent of the governed," etc.. etc.?
Now. in this fourteenth year or a
new century, and in. thp second
year of W'oodrow Wilson, I respect
fully submit that the time ha come
to put these theories Into actual
practice, or to come out from un
der cover and join William Howard
Taft in saying that the people are
not fit to govern. As for myself, I
do not even rai-e the point as to
their fitness, for I say that the gov
ernment is theirs and no office
holder fattening on a salary drawn
from their hard labor, has the
right to question their fitness to
do what they please with what is
their own. The tlrnie has come for
res(4uticm of pilHical parties to
be turned into revolutions.
No more potent factor cu-n be
found of the illness of the people
to attend to their own affairs., than
the apparent convention a display
ed in the Democratic mass meeting
In Raleigh, that they have had
enough of the sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal of cheap talk of
friendship and love for tliem. and
they now demand that the love
show itself by its fruits.
Except for the claim that tha
peoide are unfit to govern direct
ly the one other argument agalmst
the initiative and referendum is
that 'if changes our form of gov
ernment by abolishing representa
tive government and putting in
place of it a pure democracy."
The question here is verbatim from
an opponent of the m ensure. The
answer to it is that the new laws
have been in efftct in nine Statts
of the Union for a decade or more,
and have produced no confusion or
dissatisfaction, and no State which
hag them has ever had suggeted a
return to the old system. It doe
not abolish representative govern
ment but simply adds to it a pro
vision that 1f representatives fall in
their duty to the people, the peo
ple can act by their own Initiator".
Several cities and town in the
State hvae the Initiative, referen
dum and recall, and they have not
resulted 1n any bad effects.
To secure the new maesures, a
Constitutional amendment is voted
on in a general election which
cannot come before 1916. To
amend our Constitution is a serious
thing but it 1e not any violation of
sacred principle. The Q-nsMtutlcn
