Future
Changes
End of Progress
Is Seen in
Years to Come
By T. RAYLE RUCE
E ALL know that, the nations of the world are beginning to
yMT enter into 11 change of all things, political, economic and Bocial.
The nation! must expand and find now territory for their
surplus populations because the countries cannot produce
enough foodstuffs for their support. The ground Maich for
years has produced a hundredfold is exhausted. The nations
seek virgin soil and in doing so will come to blows. Africa
will be tin; theater of future conflicts.
Civilization, which is progress in all things, is like a
mighty wave that rolls onward all obstacles. It sweeps before
it all that was, mankind, animals and plants, and puts in their stead what-
ever is needed for its support. Wo know how progress drove the red man,
the beasts of the forest, the trees thereof before its tireless march until
they became extinct. The same thing will occur as the plains of Siberia,
of South America shall be settled and cultivated. The original inhabi-
tants will disappear. The tents of the Lapps and Patagonians will make
room for cities, their feeding and hunting grounds become farms. With
them will vanish those wild animals and plants which are now their sup-
port.
This must occur in Africa as well. The original inhabitants will be
driven farther and farther until with the help of various diseases, which
accompany progress, the black race will be no more. The white race will
dwell in cities where formerly the Matabele had his
hut. Farms will flourish where stood the primeval
forest with its animal life.
It may take hundreds of years before this shall
be accomplished. Then a mighty hand will call a
a halt and progress is at its end. Civilization will
have killed itself.
As the physician gives stiinluants to his dying
patient to prolong life, so will silence come to the help
of the exhausted ground, until it becomes utterly un-
productive. Progress is dead.
Migration of nations, wars, as of old, will be the
the rule, the stronger surviving. A new race will
inhabit a new earth, which will resemble the old one
only in its outlines.
Man
Living*
From
Hand
to Mouth
IVv FRANK CRANi:
People are inclined to complain a good
deal over the precariousness of life. We
hate fo live from hand to mouth. Yet it
is precisely from this element of our earthly
career that our noblest qualities come.
Endow a man so that he never has to
worry about money, remove him from all
temptations, insure him against ever falling
ill and his soul will shrivel up like a bean.
The strong, free, sweet souls are those
who every day are stopping out into the
dark.
All that manly charm which plays like
a halo around the soldier, the cowboy and
the explorer of wilds is due to the fact that men in such enterprises are
brothers and companions of alarms.
The more settled and wealthier portions of civilization are full of
email, dried up, spidery souls who have retired on a settled income. They
are fatal to life of any kind and particudarly to young life; hence most
of the youth emigrate.
They go west. The \vo4 is greater than the east because the east
is settled and the west is unsettled. In the east are old religions, old cus-
toms, old families, old laws and old institutions—all full of rats and fever.
In the west is fresh air.
One reason a king cannot be a great soul is because he cannot lose his
job. Another reason is that "the king can do 110 wrong." Take away a
man's right to sin and you assassinate his moral character.
It is even better, morally, to be a gambler than to be endowed.
"It is not," says Carl Ililty, "for the needs of luxury that Qod is
to be ha/1, but for dailv bread."

It does seem a great wrong that busi-
ness men in hiring help should discriminate
in favor of the young man when it is very
evident that the older man is superior in
every way.
All men of forty-five or thereabouts
hould not be classed together, as there are
those men who at that age have every qual-
ity of . uperiority over the voting man.
They have had the experience; their
judgment is the ripest and their knowledge
the amplest and broadest.
