personal reason that wholesome, well-bred children are adorable for their own sakes, and worthy of all the grown-up world can give them. The aristocratic world is not one of dead levels, but a world of varied interests and constant promise and unfaltering progress. It is, in a word, the world evolution.

In his industrial life, the aristocrat may occupy any post from the very lowest to the very highest. But whatever the job, he must do it well and he must love it for its own sake.

It may be tragic, but it is nevertheless true. that in the serious affairs of life, a man must be able, thus resolutely, to stand alone and in the final great adventure of death. Destiny brings curious gifts, but in the face of the most difficult of them, the true aristocrat is unafraid and victorious. - Handford Henderson in North American Review.

The land of Gobi, or desert of Mongola, to which every occult student turns with awe and wild ecstacy, has been surveyed by an automobile taking two and a half months to complete the trip, under difficulties known and appreciated by Globe trotters only. A Pole, Moszkowsky by name, had the courage to do it.

HIGH TENSION SPARKS

July, the month of hot days and hot heads at both the Republican and Democratic conventions.

To choose between two great evils is placing us between the devil and the deep sea. If we lean to the one side the devil gets us, if to the other we find ourselves on the "jumping off board" compelled to leap to the bottom to meet McGinty in his eternal sleep.

A third party is run by an organization that must ward off all suspicions as to its guiding hand within the other parties. Politics is tricks.

Instead of the Pentecostal firy tongues, "there's razors flyin' in the air."

Political slop buckets are being emptied, and garbage cans of "soft soap" sophistry are displayed with every turn.-Oh, blessed thot!

There is a tie-and for a time it seemed as if the Gordian knot of democracy was going

to resist intussusception, but republican fury induced mitotic action dispelling all karyomitome.

When the Lord God Almighty attempted to attend the political conclaves he was met with the sign on the door "keep out" and having no "tag" pinned to his lappel, he has to hold his own "counsel."

Wire-pullers and poolers won't take a "tip" from the Lord by reason of-suspicion.

And now, whose will it be? If we go straight-it will be hades; if we go "pickin' our way" we shall find ourselves at the end of the trail.

The organization that runs the one party also runs the other for its own convenience so that it is merely a matter of choice between two evils with or without the "d".

Either of the great Political Conventions should open by having the chaplain read carefully from Ezekiel, chapter sixteen. It will furnish more food for thot than even the severest of opposition can possibly hatch out.

It matters not whether you scratch yourself behind your left or your right ear-it's a scratch.

Before election we are all our brothers and his equal-after the election read Hezikiel, chapter five, verse ten.

AGREE ON TERMINOLOGY

That there be no misunderstanding, we adopt the term race as to distinction of colors. For this reason we cannot call the English a race, neither the Belgians a race, nor the Norwegians a race. To us they are nationalities, or they are distinct or relative tribes, but not races. Altogether, they constitute one race-namely the Ayran, or White, race. If we call Italians a race and Ukranians a race, and then speak of the Negro as a race and the Borean as a race, we shall soon become confused in our terminology. We consider six races: the Black, Brown, OliveGreen, Dusk, Yellow and White. We divide a race into tribes, tongues and nations. By redividing a tribe into three classes, with each class having four types, we shall be able to more systematically study man.

THY DOMINION COME

The Coliseum stands in ruins, a monument of perfect lines in art, and in testimony of the unchained animal nature of man. One man, thru sacrifice, awoke the invisible spark of horror in perhaps the most criminal in that age, and the tearing apart of men and women by starved wild beasts ceased to be a sport.

Every Savior brings sacrifice and is crucified by the prejudice of man and thereafter worshipped and acclaimed.

How much better to look for the motive of a life of dedication instead of assuming that -what is not of my thot is of Beelzebub. There is a law like unto the "Mills of the Gods" which will surely call you to account.

It would seem that with all the examples back of us the white man would go slow in his condemnation of what he has not tested out. How strange that we should pray and weep over a crucified Savior and help crucify the one of our day.

Still "God is God" and we continue to proclaim "Thy Dominion come, Thy will be done." And so it shall be.
