generation, the chances are that he is a 
century or two behind it; that his dis- 
covyeries are exploded or worn out theo- 
ries of the past. Goethe said, if he had 
nown when a young man of the master- 
pieces of Greek literature, he would 
neve have written a line; this was an 
cess of modesty, but how much better 
than the egotism of many present-day 
yriters who seem to think that the path- 
ay to fame is to ignore the great cre- 
ive minds of the past, and to reverse 
the judgment of the ages by rehabilitating 
the Neros, Tiberinses and _ Robes- 
pierres of history. Sainte-Beuve says 
that “‘ from time to time we should raise 
our eyes to the hill-tops, to the groups 
of the immortals, and ask, What would 
they say of us?’

_ How remarkably a storm will clear 
the atmosphere of its vapors, so that we 
can see twice as far and as clearly as we 
a 
could before; on the whole, perhaps, 
storms work more good than calms in 
the political and religious worlds, as well ‘ 
as in the material.

To sow and not to reap, to plant and 
not to gather into barns, to toil and see 
Biers enjoy the fruit of our labors; this

is the lot of many, and often of the best 
of our race: what then? Shall we sit 
down and do nothing, and say, let those 
who come after us look out for them- 
selves? Nay, verily; other men have 
labored, and we have entered into their 
labors ; so to keep up the succession, and 
bind the generations into one, we must 
work on in our day though the night 
a it comes may find our work scare- 
ly begun; we do not livein vain, if we 
only clear the ground on which others 
may build.

The love of fair play, for which it has

is one of the elements of a strong and

Demand Lamp and Bell Regulation. 
Los Angeles papers are making a very 
reasonable fight on cyclists who evade 
the lamp and bell ordinance. The time 
is opportune, as the city recently adopted 
a traffic ordinance, which is about to be 
recalled for some amendment tinkering. 
The Los Angeles Examiner calls atten- 
tion to the greatly increased number of 
bicycles now in daily use, and_ nightly 
use, and says that regulation has become 
imperative. The paper says that with- 
out lamps and bells, bicycles are the 
most annoying if not the most dangerous 
vehicles on the street.
