when he said in the Kilgore Herald,
So. wet or dry. hot or cold, the
world goes on, laughing, crying, lov-
ing, hating, painting and powder-

No doubt you have reached the
c age of reasoning, Mr. Gandy, and
have observed that nothing makes
much difference with anything. Man
is a hero to himself and he cuts big
licks. But in his confidential mo-
ments, when he holds communion
with himself, he confesses in un-
spoken words that all his works are
trivial in comparison with the ways
of the natural world. The record
makes little note of any man, al-
though his immediate biographers
may try to make him immortal. If
he was wonderful in their estima-
tion. One King about equals an-
other King, so when one goes and
tether comes the world feels no dif-
ference A dictator rises, dictates in
lordly fashion and makes himself
and his crowd believe he is an
epoch in the trend at civilization,
but he dies and somebody else
starts dictating for better or for
worse, and nobody could sense the
change with eyes closed. The field
daisy blooms, fades, dies and is
gathered into the soil to make hu-
mus for the next crop of daisies.
It lived, It died and the sun con-
tinued to shine, the rain to fall or
the drouth to dry out without any
reference to the daisy blooming or
the daisy dead. Man has sought to
amplify himself since his first an-
cester walked on his hind feet, but
all he has accomplished is the dig-
ging of some tunnets, the raising
of some houses, the building of
some dams, the laying of some rail-
roads, the clearing of some fields
