Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A.Nye THE fRObLEM OF HAPPINESS. Do you remember that advertisement In which the baby is reaching for a bar of soap which floats In the water and the legend: "He will not be nappy until he gets itr There is a true touch of human nature In the picture. Baby, youth, man, woman we all reach for something that we fancy will make us happy. However One might draw a companion picture, a picture of the baby when he has got the bar of soap and write under It the words, "He's got it, but is not happy." Which would be another true picture of the nature that is In us all. We get what we want, but are not made happy thereby. "If my business were established 1 would be a happy man," says one. "If I owned a good homo I should be perfectly content and happy." "If I had a big farm like So and So." sighs the small owner. "If 1 had a million dollars," wails ' the prosperous business man. And so on. ' "A lioreus. none of these would be ' I. i' ;.v over the possession of the things Hi in ardently wish for. Why? U.v.iuse. In the first place, there is kmori' enjoyment in potting things than in having them. Tho baby got his Joy in getting the soap, not in possession i of It. you wish for and get there . is always something the matter with it when you get it some fly in the ointment of enjoyment. And there is always something more that you want to get. You see. the problem of personal happiness cannot be worked out by arithmetic. When you merely add to what you have something more of the same sort outside possessions you do not get the answer. , And yon slowly very slowly learn the lesson that if you cannot be happy when you set a thousand dollars ten ' thousand will not make you blessed. Happiness is not in what you have, but in what you are. nappiness is inside you. 'J us Is My 55th Birthday LOUIS D. BRANDEIS. Louts i Branded, the Boston lawyer whose name has been mentioned in connection with the vacancy on the united States supreme bench, was ; born in Ixmlsvllle. Nov. 13. 1S50. and was educated in American and German universities, being a law graduate of Harvard. He began the practice of law In Boston in 1S79 and attained success early in his career. In recent years several cases in which he was engaged as counsel brought him into national prominence. He was employed in the celebrated RallingcrPinchot investigation and later appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission as counsel for organizations of shippers opposing higher freight rates. In the last-named case, Mr. Brandeis caused something of a sensation by declaring that American railroads are wasting $1,000,000 a day through lack of system. MASONIC CALENDAR Monday. Nov. 13, 1911.

As It Was In '54.

RESOLVED, That in view of the necessity of battling for the first principles of Republican government, and against the schemes of an aristocracy, the most revolting and oppressive with which the earth was ever cursed or man debased, we will co-operate and be known as 'Republicans until the contest be terminated.

There are men still living who remember the 6th day of July, 1854. Probably they do not remember whether the day was cloudy or the sun hot, but a bronze tablet sets down the fact that "under the oaks" at Jackson, Michigan, a party was born. It was in fact a formal convention which adopted a platform and nominated a full state ticket. And so it is that the seeds of the Abolition and Anti-slavery-extension movements took root and came to flower. Everyone knows the story of the Dutch sailing vessel which sailed up the James River with its cargo of African slaves and its freight of disruption for America in the same year that the Mayflower landed the Pilgrim Fathers. And the story of the war for the preservation of the union Is still more familiar, coming back, with renewed force at the sight of the bronze button on the coat lapels of those who dedicated their lives to the service of the country.

Since that time that glorious history and the splendid traditions of the men young men they were then have been used to adorn many a campaign speech. And on that tradition the Republican party has won successive victory after successive victory. People in the north have been taught, that the Democratic party is the harbor of traitors and the ideas which are reminiscent of the Knights of tho Golden Circle. People in the South have been led to regard the Republican party as composed of carpet-baggers and their lineal descendants the federal office holders. Before, tho everyday citizen woke up a new era had been almost completed.

An industrial era had built a business empire and the capital of the country had been moved to New York. A machanism depending largely on the traditions of the civil war was in full operation in national state and city politics. The desperate efforts of the sturdy men of Morton's time (who used every means to thwart the formation of the Northwestern confederacy) had bred the discipline of party allegiance. This allegiance trustingly placed at the disposal of the party leaders had been directed to other purposes than those simple ideals of Lincoln. They were at the behest of party managers who were in close league with the agents of the business empire and before we knew it the collection of campaign expenses from great railroads and Industrial corporations had come to be a matter of course. Public service corporations used the machinery of both .parties, in all cities and in all states, to get franchises and the thing was excused on the theory that the civil war was still being fought. A Tammany aiding Joseph Gurney Cannon to his seat despite the wishes of the majority of his fellows, and a Lorimer still sitting in his bought seat, have done much to shake the faith of the people in the Lincoln legend the party has been stolen from the people and prostituted.

It looks to us as if things of great importance are happening in Indiana. Straws indicate the coming of a great storm. Last week the advisory commission of Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis, adopted resolutions of a non-partisan nature. It proposes to start an organization "for the purpose of making plain to every voter the method whereby he may register his opinion as to the fitness or unfitness of candidates for city offices !" A day later and the shopmen of Richmond organize the Hoosier State Progressive league. They use these words: "Having organized under the head of the Hoosier State Progressive league, the shopmen of Richmond extend an appeal to all independent voters of the state to aid us in the cause of progressiveness to organize similar leagues in other cities of the state. "Our interests are identical interests that have been too long neglected, and the present marks an epoch in out political history, and the national movement of progressiveness is the death knell to party dictation. We ask you to join with us in writing the obituary notice to broken pledges and help us to bury to such a depth of oblivion that there can be no possibility of a resurrection of the perfidiousness of party bosses." Those words have a sound very like those which Henry T. Hunt used when the people protested against the Cox-Taft machine in Cincinnati. "Let us all Democrats and Republicans, Socialists and all others Join hands and regain for Cincinnati the position to which she is entitled, the foremost place among American municipalities for enlightenment, civic patriotism and progress." And that is exactly what the people of Cincinnati did when they turned in and elected Hunt and, "read the obituary notice to broken pledges" and "buried to such a depth of oblivion that there can be no possibility of a resurrection of the perfidiousness of party bosses!"

In Philadelphia the Keystone party has just won a glorious victory over the Penrose machine. Republicans there, as in Cincinnati, furnished the votes to do it with. Usually a party is anxious to attract voters. In Pennsylvania it has been customary to afford the men who wished to protest with no place to vote. Mark the result. For years many men in Philadelphia and in Cincinnati have stayed away from the polls. Why? "What's the use?" they ask. And what was the use for them to go to the polls to register their choice between two puppets that even public service corporations proclaimed as safe? Much this same condition prevails in Richmond. The people have not even turned out to the primaries much less ward meetings so disheartened have they become with the futility of trying to beat the game. They would far sooner go up against a professional gambler or buy stock of a promoter or mining stock than to try to beat the Boss domination. Of course when things get to this point they do not stop there. Philadelphia and Cincinnati threw off the domination after a long struggleand the people of Richmond are not all sleeping. People are pretty much the same all over the country they are turning if they cannot work through their own parties they work through the opposite if that too is crooked they form a new party, as the people of Pennsylvania did in the campaign of 1910. Then the Keystone candidate cut the Republican majority down from four hundred thousand to forty thousand. If they cannot work through the present primary system, they adopt a new form of primary as they have in IVs Moines and in Ivos Angeles and many other cities. If they cannot

control their councilmen and legislatures they put in the referendum and make the laws directly. In addition they add the reecall, making it possible to vote a man out of office as well as into one. They are not satisfied with the empty pleasure of recalling a man after he has gotten away with the stolen goods. They catch him with his hand in the till.

The men in Richmond are experienced in this line of thought. They have made it a point to keep James E. Watson, the right hand man of Cannon, at home by reducing his vote, and they retired his follower. They have had experience with a boss, and the boss no longer operates. They are successful in escaping thus far an inequitable water franchise and there is reason to believe that they will get a modern franchise, for they are awake to every move. It was with this sort of a constituency that the reactionary county central committee trifled in attempting to do what the "titular head of the party" did not succeed in doing (in passing on the Republicanism of the Republican senator from Wisconsin La Follette). And what this constituency did was to invite the senator to talk to them and explain his record and his ideas the' common courtesy of the intelligent. For your real progressive the everyday man of today will listen to L.a Follette and to Woodrow Wilson to Senator Cummins and Senator Gore to Judge Lindsey and to Joseph Folk to Brandeis, Pinchot, and Roosevelt to every man, in short, who has proved his mettle.

The call to the progressives of the state--of whatever party at a time when "the present marks an epoch In our national history" is a thing which has possibilities. The Hoosier State Progressive league may well look into everything from local public affairs to the question of a people's lobby at the legislature to defend this state from the corporate domination which more than threatens and take a part in national politics, when forced by the attitude of the reactionary bosslets of their parties. It is the people's turn as it was in '54.

JOHN BANISTER. An English Violinist Who Won Fam In tho Sovonteonth Century. rublic concerts owe their direct encouragement to John Banister, who had won fame by his playing on the violin and who succeeded the celebrated Bsltiar as leader of Charles II.'s band of tweuty-four violins. Pepys. in an entry in his diary for February. 1667. tells us the court gossip of the day "how the king's viallin Banister is mad that the king hath a Frenchman come to be chief of some part of the king's musique." Banister's concerts at the close of the year 1672 were advertised In the London Gazette as follows: "These are to give notice that at Mr. John Ban ister's bouse mow called the rausiek school), over against the George tavern In White Fryers, the present Monday will be musick performed by excellent masters, beginning precisely at 4 of the clock in the afternoon, and every afternoon for the future pre clsely at the same hour." Four years later on we read again. "At the academy in Little Lincoln's Inn Fields will begin the first part of the parley of instruments, composed by Mr. John Banister." The admission was at this time as a rule a sb.il ling, and these concerts seem to have been held pretty regularly down to -within a short time of Banister's death, which took place In 1G79.

Tho Peanut. The common peanut originally came probabry from tropical America. Peanuts ware introduced into the United States In the days of the colonies. Bo tanically the peanut belongs to the same group of plants as beans and peas, bt-t the peanut matures its fruit or nut under the surface of the soil, not above ground, as do most other leguminous plants. Properly speaking, the peanut is a pea rather than a nut. the term "nut" having been added on account of its flavor, which Is similar to that of many of the true nuts. The peanut is known under the local names of goober, goober pea, pindar. groundpea and groundnut. Reasonable Request. "Ladies and gentlemen." appealingly began the village handy man. advanc Ing to the front of the stage and ad dressing the few patient persous who remained of the audience which had assembled to witness the beautiful pastoral drama, "The Mad Miller's Daughter." written by the hamlet's accomplished authoress and presented by home talent performers. "I am re quested by the members of the com pany to ask you to remain until the end of the play. In the next act, which I solemnly assure you Is the last, the villain gets his due and is slain without mercy, and we want witnesses." Puck. SECOND

DEAD SEA WATER. Its Density Is More hmn Double That of the R.d Ssa. The Dead sea contains 23 per cent of solid matter and is bulk for bulk heavier than the human body. Many believe that It is impossible to swim in this sen, and even in Jerusalem ridiculous fables are told as to the Impossibility of bathing there and that no animals or vegetation can exist near its shores. So far as swimming Is concerned, the excessive buoyancy of the water simply renders it difficult to make much headway, but a swim is both feasible and enjoyable. Care should be taken, however, not to let the water get into the eyes. Indeed, did Palestine belong to any power but Turkey probably the northern shore of the Dead sea would be a popular bathing station. No doubt the chloride of magnesia which enters so largely into the composition of the water would be found to hare medicinal and curative properties. Perhaps a better idea of the density of the water of this inland sea may bo, realized from the following statistics: In a ton of witter from the Caspian sea there are eleven pounds of salt; in the Baltic, eighteen pounds; In the Black sea. twenty-six pounds; in the Atlantic, thirty-one pounds: In the English channel, seventy-two pounds; In the Mediterranean, eighty-five pounds; In the Red sea. ninety-three pounds; In the Dead sea, 1ST pounds.
