BARRETT* The dictionary defines freedom as the state of being free, liberty; the privilege of enjoying particular p r i v i ' e g e s . The latter idea chall e n g e s o u r thought. Is it or is it not an advantage to possess a particular or special privilege which may be denied to the majority of persons? ArgumQn|ts may be advancejl on both sides of the question. The attitude presented in this article is that special privileges which eliminate the element of struggle are most decidedly a disadvantage. "The average common human lot is that of the highest privilege." In his book, "Robert .Browning,-" William Lyon phelps states that freedom from economic strain," gave the poet many advantages. Mr. Phelps writes: "The young poet (still in " his early twenties) was free from care; free from responsibility, free to bring out the best that was in him.'.' But is such an advantage a criterion of success? That iS the question. Perhaps success, under such circumstances, is the exception, rather than the rule. Mr. Phelps expresses this possibility thus: "Most boys brought up as Browning was, would be utterly unfitted for active duties and struggle of life." We think he is right and that Robert Browning was the exception and not the rule. It is not the leisure that wealth and social position affords, but the experience of overcoming and mastering life's intricate problems that callSxout the deepest and best in uis. Many experiences in life are "made perfect through suffering." When adversities like sheeted storms sweep over us, we are made strong for life's encounters. It takes Old Timers' Club "RED HORSE" t W.

We will never understand the world in which we live, if we are freed from all struggle and sorrow. Each new contest with opposing forces reveals a new summit of character. *A11- suffering is remedial. ^ Freedom from struggle means, a world without progress. Every scientific laboratory is a silent witness to the struggle for truth.

Some of our best literature is the product of suffering- &nd struggle of soul. Many of the highest concepeovered him during the night, turned down his collar and seemingly first discovering his friend, who was bracing the saloon, cleared his throat with a "New Yawk, too." Immediately came the echo from Miz. Mike looked up and down the street, shook the chill out of his bones and creaked up the street and also leaned against the building. Presently Miz spoke in an under tone to Mike, "Joe Bishop, Chize Woodburn, Stretcher and Frank are out on the bridge jerking fish already. Pete Weber got there first." , : "What you got to eat this morning ?" Mike asked anxiously. "Got some cold meat, rye bread and a bottle of beer out in the wood shed," replied Miz. •"Better get a move on and get it. Pa will be Up in a minute." Mike hurried out back, looking like an animated- scarecrow. Refreshed, out the saloon," commanded his father. - V.

"Thought you'd never wake up,r' says Miz. "Been waiting a long time for you." " " ; "Don't you ever sleep?" asked Mik4. "No," says Miz, "been around wi^h Niesen all night." ' "Come, let's go out on the bridge," urged Mike, as he hurried away. I^Iiz slowly followed and in a'few minutes was walking along the top of the Superstructure of the bridge." Presently he sat down, facing south and with dangling legs,watched the fishing. "Bet I could catch those fish but tions of beauty put into permanentghat's the use," he thought, as form on canvas and in marble have come through wrestling that has made beauty a joy forever. He who travails for truth, emerges one day into that freedom of spirit that can evaluate the human conceptions of an hour and say with Michelangelo: "Often I have wept, obtaining what I wished." Tradition informs us that the first copy of the Magna Charta was written in red ink. The chapters that record the achievements of modern civilization well might be written in the bipod of saints, martyrs, patriots; and. heroes. The most precious rpemories we have are those when we were comforted by someone who understood our innate struggle. Sympathy ^nd fellowship are the children, of experience. Freedom from care or responsibility would deprive the world of the achievement of character "which cannot be made without obstacles, struggles, and torment." If the human race ever arrives at perfection, it will be through suffering and not through freedom from pain. In heaven there could be no "perfect round" were it not for the "broken arcs on earth." Freedom today is something more than being let alone. Human freer dom consists in finding the right adjustments of human interests, human activities, and human energies;; £ Western Newspaper Union. 4 looked down at the growing piles of 8 to 12 pounders. , , "Knew Stretcher would miss that one, he should of dropped his hooks "New Yawk!" says Miz, as^JFpe Bishop hooked a big fish'and began to tire it out preparatory to -landing jt.
