Every American will accept the verdict, and work for the common cause for the good of the country. That is the spirit of democracy.'' So ran the telegram dispatched by Governor Landbn to Prgsidpnt Roosevelt when it became apparent that the voters had rallied in unprecedented numbers in support of the administration. And that telegram represents something more than good sportsmariship it marks an attitude (hat should be held by all of the people in every walk of life. The Democratic victory was no? a party victorv. No mere j party victory could be so over- j whelming .r so completely i break down sections 1 lines of I partisan svmpathy. The victory was a very differ- ; ent thing -it was a personal vie- j lory for Mr. Roosevelt. No man : in a century has so captivated 1 the imagination and emotions ! of the people, and none has re- ' ceived so great an expression of publie confidence A Republican newspaper said | the morning following the elec- j lion thai- "the President today is j the most uopuiar ngure our national life has JjjhowYt since Washington." T1 i - impossible I ha gainsay that. Tar of' presidents, and those whose administrations stand out tnoniitai nously in our history ? Jefferson. Lincoln. Cleveland were never so popular as Mr. Roosevelt. The past records have all been shattered. Tito time for partisanship has passed. And the time for cooperation has come. This does not mean that the President should bo followed blindly in every course?that would be j unjust to Mr. Roosevelt himself i as well as to the country. It i does mean that all should work j together in the common cause, as Governor Landon said, deliberating differences and adjusting varying points of view to the end that the great ideal of democratic government be served to the ultimate of all our capabilities. | MOUNTAIN TOP MEDITATIONS By .1. c canipe Some tihngs seem like an inherent, i necessity in our beings. One of them i is that of secret prayer .lesus warn- j ed against iong public prayers, but j exhorted to long secret prayers. He { prayeci all Mgift long on many occa- j sior.s. He advised. "When thou < prayest enter into thy closet and ? pray thy Father who seeth in secret \ shall Himself reward thee openly." , One often feels the urge and the necessity to repair to a lone quiet place and there meditate with God. But if one fails to go immediately, the rush and push oi life iuay snatch away that divine impulse. And thus one v loses vital contact with that which puiis at ins heart. Early in the morning or late in the afternoon is the best time for such prayer and meditation. Then things are quiet, the sun is either rising or setting, the birds are either greeting the new day with bursts of song or chanting gloriously the knell of parting day. The sou! at such times responds to the holy quiet of the day with the song: of the birds. Listen to the call of your soul for such meditation, steal away with God and nature and see if you are not a better man. > TRAGIC LOVERS An unusually interesting Story of exploration in search of the Tomb of Tristan and Isolde, whose romance has been long a theme of song and story.

OPEN FORUM Readers are invited to contribute to this department. Profit may be derived from these letters. Name ! of writer must accompany all man- ! uscript and brevity is urged. DUTY While a. word with but four 'etters. i like that of iove. it signifies more than 1 can explain, at least it might aid a little to say that it signifies moral obligation and applies to each ! and every nun\an being in existence. | To reach out without that ever 1 keen, criticising eye, over straining at gnats and swallowing camels, or trying to find a mote in his neighbor's eye while a beam is within his own. tnal ever ever forgiving and best wishes and kind acts and words to each and every human being with whom we come in contact, only tends to broaden goodness and napplness at times whereby we be at all times . and places ami will ever tend to j scatter the hovering clouds that prevents our vision and obstructs tile sunsiifny and happiness from v-itering. Oh, well.

I now leave with you to each j | commit to memory with hopes that i ! you raav likewise, he benefitted: LIFE I Sue is a wi kier ness beset with J t angled thorn and treacherous net. j With prowling beaste of prey, one path alone leans to uie rignt. i One path alone with but little light, t A thousand lead astray. j Let's evei remember: i That it ain't ca to>- f.-rt.-.. ^..V.r t wrong-. The trail ain't hard to k?se; Ifd sometimes almost give my horse ! to know Which one ivi ciioose! There ain't no signs nor guide boards 1 Up to keep you on the track; Wrong's sometimes white as "driven j snow. And right looks awfui black. So when T see a man who looks as | though he'd gone astray, J want to shove my hand in his and S help him find the way. We should also keep in mind that if by each step we take we intend j the best results toward good for one I and all, and if the worst should hap| pen, we're innocent, not guilty, bej cause we had no intent toward wrong. Burns expresses it. as fol| lows: | Life is but a leaf or paper white, Wheron each of us may write a word or so. And then comes night. Though thou has time but for a line. Be that sublime. Not failure; But low aim is crime. And then Bob Ingersoil gives a very clear picture of life: "Life is a narrow vale between the cold and frozen peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. But in the night of death hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing." I wonder what star, and conclude that it was the Star of Bethlehem, and that the wing was that of an angei from the great celestial city of God. Do right and fear not is my suggestion to one and ail at all times and places, to and for all the I people. You can as you would that 1. they do unto you. JOHN H. BINGHAM.
