PURPOSE IN LITE
Montaigne said of society: "It is
diScult to find it in a dozen men
who direct their lives toward a cer
tain definite purpose which is the
principal aid of wisdom."
One advantage of having to earn
a living is that it subjects one nec
essarily to discipline. The great
fault of people in the social world
is that they are idlers; they have
nothing to do; they suffer from a
lack of purpose.
One of the greatest curses that
can happen to a human being is to
be condemned to a life without toil.
All great moral movements have
started with the working classes.
The idle classes do nothing but raise
the devil.
They have a certain facility of
speech, but they lack the power of
concentrating on intelligent thought.
Their intelligence, or rather lack
of intelligence, is masked by wit, or
a ready ability to use brilliant words.
All their real and noble sentiments
tend to disintegrate. Love becomes
gallantry, ambition becomes intrigue.
The whole atmosphere of society ia
such that normal sentiment cannot
grow to maturity.
In it an energetic sentiment is out
of place.
For proof of this you have only to
read the modern society novel with
its total lack of moral background and
lack of appreciation of anything that
is simple and great.
The trouble with these people is
that they put forth no consistent ef
fort. "Oh, God." said Leonard de Vinci.
"you sell us everything for the price
of an effort." But effort is the very
thing which society people avoid.
One of the worst afflictions in the
world is boredom or sophistication.
yet it is made a virtue dv society
people.
As they have no work they have
no real rest. As the soul is unem
ployed in noble sentiments, resort is
had to wine, wild parties, gambling
and the like.
Life is not long for such people.
Society is instinctively the strong
hold of dead traditions, religious or
thodoxy and reactionary idea?. It
is therefore a tremendous power
which is opposed to progress.
All of the noblest sentiments are
perverted. Personal loyalty becomes
loyalty to the clan. A man. for in
stance, is not blamed for seducing a
girl outside of the clan, but marriage
to an outsider is considered a crime.
The whole group perhaps is char
acterized, more than anything else,
by its tendency to look down with
contempt upon physical labor. In
fact almost all of the upper clashes
in this world have been composed of
idlers.
All that has been said does not im
ply that there is no advantage of cul
ture and refinement, by meeting the
right people, reading the right books
and forming the right associations.
But all this should be done under
the influence of a lofty and steady
purpose to be of some use in the
world.
A BILLION FOR HOMES
George W. Hinman. a writer on
economics, says a billion a year is
spendt for new homes in America
an amazing sum; but it proves that
the makers of cosmetics, chewing
gum and automobiles are not getting
all the money that's made. Mr. Hin
man's comment is extended, but we
quote one paragraph:
"Of 26.000.000 families in the
United States about 12,000,000 are
supposed to own their own homes. If
the number could be increased to
15,000,000 such an increase would
be the best guarantee of stable
American conditions and steady
American progress in business that
anyone could .imagine."
Many people tell Mr. Hinman that
in their opinion building is being
overdone, but he doubts this. It is
overdone here and there, he says, but
not generally. Proof that we are
not over-building to any great ex
tent is the fact that the activity con
tinues. Men do not continue to put
money into enterprises that promise
no return. There is a demand for
new homes.
:o:
A BUM SHOW
Regardless of what may be the
jury verdict, this much may be said
of the evolution trial at Dayton:
First: it won't prove anything.
Second: Nothing will be said on
either side that has not already been
said and said much better than the
attorneys on contending sides are
able to say it.
In a word, the much-touted "big
show" in Tennessee is all "old stuff"
from start to finish. It is not even
in the hands of capable performers.
For the prosecution there is not a
man who can qualify as a first class
theologian, and for the defense there
is not a real scientist.
Under these circumstances the
very best we can hope for is a "bum
show."

EARTHQUAKES
We read in the Chicago Journal of
Commerce of "the reluctance of peo
ple to live in or invest capital in
any section in which there is more
than a mere possibility of an earth
quake." And yet human conduct in
the matter, as recorded in history,
does not indicate that this alleged re
luctance has been strong enough to
have anv considerable effect on men's
actions.
We do not have to go far from
stricken Santa Barbara for an illus
tration. It is only 19 years since San
Francisco was stricken by the most
disastrous earthquake that has ever
fallen upon any part of the United
States. And yet those 19 years have
seen a large increase in both the
wealth and the population of the
city, which, at first thought, seemed
to have been demolished beyond hope
of recovery.
Certain and continuing advantages
draw people together in certain lo
calities; and if those advantages are
great, the knowledge that residence
there is attended by possible but not
certain disaster will not keep them
away. The farms and farmers vil
lages that dot the sides of Mount
Aetna are more are more numerous
today than ever before, although the
crater has poured destructive and
death-dealing floods of molten lava
over them again and again, ever
since Sicillians first became aware of
the rich agricultural possibilities of
the disintegrated lava on those dan
gerous slopes.
Men are terrified by the earth
quake or the volcanic eruption when
it brings ruin or threat of ruin right
to their homes; when it is over, they
rebuild their damaged properties and
go bravely on. It is a trait of the
human mind to ignore disaster.
Hundreds of thousands of persons
have been killed in years agone by
the flow of lava from Mount Vesuv
ius, ot generation after generation
builds villages around the base of
the volcano, and in full knowledge
of the fact that Its eruptions are
frequen". and violent.
:o: j
EDUCATION I
Nicholas Murry Butler, president
of Columbia university, once said
there are five evidences of education.
Let's us examine them briefly, each
of the evidence. See what you think
about them.
The first evidence is the correct
and precise use of your own lan
guage. Most of us speak English
and it is the finest instrument for the
communication of ideas ever devised.
We are inevitably to be judged on
our ability to use the tools of thought
correctly.
Refined and gentle manners are the
second evidence. Not mere parade
manners to be polished up and ex
hibited on occasion, but manners that
are the outward expression, as Mr.
Butler says, of a fixed habit of
thought."
And then there is the power and j
habit of reflection. Have we head-,
line minds? We are accused of it. 1
We go glancing through life. It has '
been said a life that asks no ques- j
tions of itself is simply the life of
the lower animal. It is man's high ,
business to wonder and to eeek the
answer, to hope and to have faith.
Education involves the power and
habit of reflection.
Fourth is the power of gTOwth. Of
course, that means the power to
change and adapt, no matter what
age you may be. As we grow older
it is increasingly harder not to be
bound hard and fast by custom and
tradition. Old men who can still
take on ideas and adjust themselves
to new ideas always attract our ad
miration. Such men have real edu
cation.
Lastly, an evidence of education is
the power to do. That might be ex
pressed by the over-worked word
"efficiency." If we simply know but
do not know how to do, we are not
equipped for life, we are not truly
educated. There is in the world, as
Mr. Butler says, a great deal of well
informed incapacity.
James of Harvard was right.. Our
job is to convert our right impulses
into Eome form of useful activity.
The power to do is one of the great
essentials.
Think over these evidences. Check
yourself up by them.
:o:
A Philadelphian who has mastered
the mathematics of Revelations finds
heaven much more spacious than
anything we have known. Each an
gel, he says, has a five-room house
with 20-foot ceilings. We suspect
that the house they will put him in
will be bigger than that.
:o:
People are very snarly in hot
weather, but not in the way that pro
duces civil war. In war, sides are
chosen and it is necessary to frater
nize with one's partisans. In hot
weather, there is little danger of
anybody fraternizing with anybody

R0HSE SHOE PITCHERS BATTLE
From Friday's Daily
The championship honors of the
horseshoe pitchers of the city are
still resting in the first ward as the
result of the meeting last night be
tween the Hilltoppers, representing
the dwellers in the vicinity of
Eleventh and Main streets and . the
Riverside team, composed of the resi
dents on the North Third street hill
Not only was the ambitions of the
Hilltoppers shattered last evening
but the junior Riverside team made
a sad uent in tne recoru oi mtir
youthful foes from west Main street
The battle was staged on the North
3rd street park, whither early in the
evening George Sayles and Harley
Burdick had hastened, laiden down
with their own special horseshores.
to meet in combat John Iverson and
Homer Shrader. The Main street in
vaders were accompanied by George
Savles Jr.. and Ralph Mason, who
were to combat with Mr. Iverson, Jr..
and "Buzzer" Walling, the youthful
champs of the east part of the city.
The big battle between the adults
resulted in the Riverside team win
ning seven games while the Hilltop
pers were able to annex only one of
the games. In this struggle John
Iverson. the mighty blacksmith.
smashed all records by making six
teen ringers, two of which were
doubles. Homer Shrader secured one
ringer while George Sayles annexed
five ringers and Burdick three, but
against the masterful hurling of
Iverson the visitors were sadly out
classed.
In the junior game the Hilltoppers
won 4 and the Riverside boys an
nexed two which was a very pleas
ing showing for the more youthful
first warders. In the ringers Edmund
Walling secured 5, Iverson, 2, Ralph
Mason, 3, and George Sayles none.
This makes two and one for the
men of the first ward and the west
side team are preparing to gird up
and losen themselves on the first
warders with the hopes of retriving
the lost honors.
It was stated at the court house
this morning that George Sayles was
out bright and early this morning
practicing: some of the new slants in
the hopes of tying Iverson's record at
the next meeting.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE WATCHED
Recently there have been several
very close calls by children from be
ing run over on the main street or
the city by passing autos and from
the examples of these narrow escapes
there should be greater care exercised
by parents and guardians in watch
inging the small children from trav
eling across the street recklessly.
In one of these cases the auto driv
er was wholly at fault as he was
driving up the wrong side of the
street at the time a little child ran
out in front of his car and narrow
ly escaped a severe accident while in
another case that was observed yes
terday a car was coming west on
Main street at a very reasonable rate
of speed, the driver was clear over
on the right hand side of the street
and was only a short distance from
a child standing on the curb, when
the child suddenly darted out into
the street. It apparently started to
cross the street, hesitated, started
back to the curb and as the driver
turned to avoid the child then going
back to the curbing, it suddenly
started again to cross the street, the
driver by only the greatest effort be
ing able to turn his car to avoid hit
ting the child.
These cases indicate that greater
care should be exercised by persons
crossing the street as well as the auto
drivers in keeping on their side of
the street and trying to avoid acci
dents. Parents who allow children
of tender years to navigate along the
street should exercise some degree of
watchfulness or there will be a trag
edy Borne of these days to shock the
community.
GET RID OF THAT BACKACHE
Plattsmouth People Point the Way.
The constant aching of a bad back.
The weariness, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness.
Distressing urinary disorders
Are often signs of failing kidneys
And too serious to be neglected.
Get rid of these troubles!
Use Doan's Pills a stimulant di
uretic to the kidneys.
Hosts of people recommend Doan's.
This is a Plattsmouth case.
You can verify it.
Mrs. Maggie Kaufman. 624 S. 6th
street, says: "I felt weak and de
pressed and my housework was a
burden. Every move I made sent
sharp pains across my back and my
back was so sore I could hardly rest
at night. I became dizzy and had
headaches, too. My kidneys were
weak and acted irregularly. I used
one box of Doan's Pills and they
cured the trouble. It is very seldom
I need anything to stimulate my
kidneys."
Mrs. Kaufman is only one of many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
renledy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mrs. Kaufman
had the remedy backed by home
testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.
