But here is the paradox that while men work together in the creation and maintenance or our 1 institutions, (must in the very nature of things do so), they do not realize that they are working to gether for a common purpose Subconsciously they co-operate in all the activities or lire; out con sciously they think and work as individuals, for purely personal ends.

The world today is one vast miracle of man's achievements.

Wherever we turn we hnd the results of his energy, his indomitable will, his persistence, his ingenuity. He has laid his hand upon the mighty forces of nature and learned to utilize them in the ex tension of his thought, so that he becomes a creator.filling the world with new expressions of force and law. Even the construction and manipulation of the simplest ma chine must take into account laws and forces which thread the universe from the tiny grain of sand at our feet to the remotest star, and only to the extent to which man allies himself with this uni versal law and order is his thought productive and effective. The flow of rivers, the dashing of waterfalls, the sprouting of grasses and budding of leaves and flowers, the ripening of fruits and grains, tne glory cr autumn, ine falling of leaves and their slow decay to become nourishment for other life forms, forests with their sweet and solemn music, clouds and rain and enow, the sun and moon and stars running through all these we see a law so sure that it endures forever, so all enfolding that not the tiniest leaf that falls can escape from it, so compelling, that man though he defy every man-made law that has ever been formulated, mu6t obey it. His obedience may be a blind obe dience, but whether blindly or consciously, it is obedience none the less.

Through the material universe we see one great harmony an interdependence that makes all things necessary and inevitably in their time and place each being a tone in the universal song. To the savage who shaped his stone arrow heads and wore skins for clothing and kindled fire by striking flint or by rubbing pieces of wood together, the wondrous forces about him were hidden and he respondod with hardly more consciousness of them than did the bird building its nest, or the deer stealing timidly through the forest seeking food and water; and the power he put forth was simp ly the power of the individual. Man today has his power multi plied manyfold by his conscious ness or some or nature powers, and a knowledge of how to ally himself with them. All the wonderful inventions by which work is simplified and facil itated in mines, in factories, on farms, in our wondeful and intri cate systems of transportation and distribution, our methods of com munication over long distances, even the modern home with its heat and light and water, are made possible by the utilizing of na ture forces in harmony with her laws. We see, then, that in the world of nature, ae distinguished from that of man, there is a universe of mutual helpfulness, law linked unto law, and form nourishing form, and that any single manifestation is the product of the co-operation of many forces working through many channels.

The violet is a child of sun and earth and wind and rain, hnd other forms like it self lovingly nourish it, and it in turn nourishes that which is to follow. When we come to contemplate man as a conscious being, we find that the simplest accomplishment of his involves the use of some one or more of the invisible forces about him, and the forms through which nature manifests herself. As his achievements increase in complexity they involve not only the laws about him, but the help of other men, so that at the present time we find that any single ts published every Friday.

It is predicted by some of Gov. Hoch's close friends that he has fully marie up his mind to spring a surprise on the prohibs by recommending resubmission in his message to the next general assembly. It is said that since the suits of ouster were begun against many Kansas mayors for the non-enforcement of the prohibition law that the Kansas druggists are joining the church and putting on an air of chastened resignation. K. C.

Post. It is to be presumed that young Ilockefeller had in his mind's eye his own progenitor when he, with eyes lifted heavenward said to his Sunday school class: "Who is there among us who has not sinned? Take the great men who have fallen in our day and you will find that they are men who have shut God from their hearts, and men who have been tempted because of the power of wealth they possessed. If President Roosevelt in his next message to congress recommends passing a law authorizing a tax on inheritances, he may prepare for a savage onslaught from the eastern metropolitan press. The New York Sun already is paving the way for this concerted attack of the money bigs. However the public has more cause to apprehend a stunning effect of this onslaught on a weak-kneed congress than on the president.

Roosevelt is not of the "tottering" kind when he has once made up his mind to do a thing. 1 Governor Folk's present views ,1 i on tue nome rule proposition says a "special" to the Journal from Jefferson City are so dia metrically different from those he promulgated when he was a candi date for governor that some of the suggestions he has made for legis lation this winter cause no little comment. For instance, in his in augural message two years ago he observed: "If it be wrong to give local self-government in the selec tion of local officials to any part of the state then it would seem that the entire theory of our gov ernment is wrong. If the people of these cities do not take interest in public affairs sufficiently to se cure good government for them selves, they ought not to expect to get it from the outside." In another place in the same message he says: "I believe the people can be trusted to govern themselves It is pointed out by some that t'Ae governor's contemplated re commendations to the general as sembly for the enactment of laws creating the office of state excise commissioner and for a lawgiving the governor power to suspend sheriffs, coroner and prosecuting attorneys at will are decidedly at variance with these and other declarations. It is likewise obseryed that such autocratic power as the removal of county officers has never been asked or desired by any other governor the state has ever had.

It is questionable iudeed if such a law should be enacted it would stand the test of the courts under the constitution, for it would be placing in the hands of the chief executive the power specifically delegated to the people to select their own officers. Give a health. Un the other hand there are men and women and children who live in the most exquisite comfort, feast on the finest foods, dress in the costliest fabrics, deny them selves no luxury, pleasure or ser vice that money can. buy, but they do not work. Yet this world of ours has with in it enough in the way of cuateri al to clothe and feed and shelter every man and woman and child nature's forces are so great that in using them intelligently man can create rrotn the natural resources comforts and luxuries sufficient for all and so prolific is nature, both in her forces and her forms, that man, laboring intelligently need give only a few hours a day to the production of the things re quired for his needs, instead of spending, as he now does, the whole of his waking hours in labor that deadens his faculties and his sensibilities, consumes the whole of his life and energies and makes of him but little more than an animal.

No thoughtful person can fail to see that there must be co-opera tion in order to carry on a single one of the activities of our present civilization we 6ee it on every hand, and we know that it extends throughout all activities. Nor can any thoughtful person doubt that the Lreneral erood would be better served and the individual happi i ness and comfort increased many labor in production and distribu tion, but to the sharing in the pro- action. of a great social organism and rea lize that by working in harmony with the other units or the mass he may increase both the indivi dual happiness and the general welfare, the conditions of life would change from the extremes of poverty and its sufferings on the one hand, and wealth and use less idleness on the other, to comfort and healthful occupation and restful relaxation for all, and the desire for inequality (special pri vilege) would disappear. People cannot be legislated in to a realization of their true rela tionship there is but one law by which the spirit of competition with all its heartlessness and in humanity can be replaced by the spirit of co-operation, and this is the law of love cj salvation of humankind from the intolerable burdens that weigh it down. It is an individual lesson with a universal application to live in the spirit of true brother hood.

This spirit of competition has touched and tainted almost every emotion and impulse and relation ship of human life. We call men great who have amassed to them, selves immense wealth with its at tendant power, and we define success in terms of dollars. There are great of men and women and children who spend almost the whole of their waking in a monotonous round of work, often in an atmosphere poi- soned with chemicals and dust. that deadens and stupefies and siunts physical, mental and spiri- tual growth; and whose homes are bare of even the ordinary necessi-J.
