MAY 5, 1927 THE HELPER TIMES Issued Every Thursday ajt HUMAN DESTINY By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, Univertity of Carbon County, Utah. ntered in the Postoffice at Helper at Second-Clai- s Mail Matter. ' rK WROTE oratiuns when I was VV in college.. Each senior prepared laboriously an effort of a tlmu sand words or so upon some topic which lie but vaguely understood, and then, "after a certain amount of drilling on tliepart of the professor of elocution, perpetrated tlie thine upon the assembled student body In chapel. The oration gave Interest and zest and variety- - to the diiii routine of daily clinpel exercises, its delivery was often crude and awkward and halting. Sometimes the spanker halted Indefinitely, having memorized Ms speech bndly. In whatever way he performed, however, he was greeted with tiproarous applause. A good ninny of these '(Torts I still vividly recall, and one of them especially. "After College, What?" was the title which one of my classmates enlarged upon. lie was n lazy, shiftless fellow who did his work Indifferently and seemed to have Utile ambi tion or purpose In life. If he passed his courses. It was by the slightest possible margin. If he ever showed en-thuslnsin In class, It wns a shock and a surprise to every one who knew him. His oration was, however, a rosy prophecy of what the future held not only for him. hut for nil those Intellectual workers with whom he was associated The present might be dull and uninteresting; the work In which he and his friends were now engaged might be heavy and depressing, but there was a bright and glorious future confronting each one of them Immediately upon their exit from the college halls. After college there was to be one round of excitement and success after another. I met him a few weeks ago and he borrowed two dollars of me to get himself back home. I kissed the bills goodby as I placed them in his eager hands, for I knew that was the last time we should ever meet. ,A man's career after he gets out of college Is seldom very different excepting in degree from what was suggested when he wns an undergraduate. Occasionally he wakes up after loafing along through his studies; once in a while he picks out an energetic wife who Injects some snap Into him; less often, I think, an energetic man in college slumps after he gets out; but in general you can tell about what a man will accomplish when he is forty by the way he goes at things at twenty. Of all the men I knew in college thirty-fiv- e or forty years ago, not many have changed excepting in degree, from, what they were when we were studying physics and chemistry and calculus and German together. The slow and lazy ones still come in on the freight trains. The fellows who went to Sunday echool are now the pillars of the; various churches to which they belonged. The men who got the assignments even if it took all night to do It, are forging ahead. In business as they did In books. Men and women after college are about the same sort as they were In college. We don't change much. T Kate, $2.00 Per Year ir Advance Subscription C. L. CONNER, Publisher RUTH METZ, Society Editor A NEW ONE FOR TOURISTS The f raze for compulsory auto mobile liability insurance is ene of the latest fads. The theory of the law is that if everybody was forced to carry insurance, there would al ways be ready money to pay for in jury to persons or property on the public highways. This is the bait used to interest the public. As a matter of fact, in a large percentage" of the cases, there would be no money paid to the injured party or to damaged property for thf simple reason that the damage would be due to the carelessness or negligence of the person making the claim. Of course, if the ultimate program is to have the state furnish the insurance and pay everybody, regardless of their own negligence, a great Tensioning system could be built up and public offiautocials handling this imme-nsmobile insurance fund would probably reject few claims. The finan-- , cial burden of such a system would fall most heavily on the careful automobile driver and the farmers who have the fewest accidents, or on the taxpayers. To show the freakish features which have, already cropped up un-- . der proposed compulsory Insurance laws, it is interesting to note the bill just defeated in the California legislature (a commission for investigation having been " subsstitut-ed.- ) ' This bill would require every tourist entering a State having such a law, to at once take out an insurance policy. The cost of such insurance for a brief stay woud be so exhorbitant that the majority would avoid state or states with such re' quirements. As the tourist "crop" Is a highly valuable asset to many of our states, such a' law would have a direct bearing on the financial of every .'line of business in the state. On-transcontinental au- tomobile trip, a tourist would almost' have to have a legal opinion before he would fee! safe In venturing from state to state. There is such a thing as running on protective legislation for the benefit of the public. . ' ..' ' a -. hog-wil- d r AMERICAN CHILD PRAISED .

Novgorod in the north of Russia was a republic and for many years one of ,the mightiest cities of the earth. Its position was unique. Surrounded on all sides by tribes of barbarians who roaim'd over the vast plans of two continents, Novgorod alone of all set tlements of Scythians attained a degree of civilization. Its neighbors were peoples who drank the blood of their enemies, scalped them and used their scalps as napkins and who ate the flesh of their parents. The organized strength of Novgorod enabled the city to extend its rule over thousands of square miles and to exact tribute from tribes as far distant as the Ural mountains. The city enjoyed a wide commerce, sending goods eastward to I'ersia and India, south to Constantinople and west to lands along the Baltic sea. It was this western commerce that suffered from the raids of the tierce Scandinavian pirates. Their attacks on the traders of Novgorod soon threatened to ruin their western commerce. Then it was that Novgorod in the year SG2 struck a bargain with three Varanglali brothers, Rurik, Sinaf and Truvor. The Varangians were engaged in piracy in a small but enterprising way and were accomplished seamen and warriors. They now gave up that calling and settled on the western border of Russia to defend the commerce of Novgorod against their kinsmen. Victorious against the foes of Russia, they turned their arms against their allies and so harassed them that Nov- -' i l "ask '!
