Labor

Reduce a sorrowing life to its simple, triumphant element and we find Labor.  If love has been a Dead-Sea apple of ashes, and ideals formed in a passionate dream have seemed like fogs of the mind on waking, turn to labor and it will show that life still has real value.  A man must love - if defeated and dismayed in the direction of his dream, then there is a world needing his loving best.  A man must love something, worship an ideal, cling to a laboring purpose, or he will as good as perish while he yet walks around alive. - Talbor & Dawe.

States legislate against prize fighting and yet the fact that the very newspapers which decry the alleged sport most earnestly give prize fight news the most conspicuous place in their columns, goes far to prove that the public sentiment demands that kind of news.  If this were not so, no such prominence would be given it.

Republics are proverbially ungrateful.  Examples in point: Miles and Schley.
