ing some of the difficulties of the

We are not forgetful of the posi-
tion of the stump orator who said to
his would-be constituents, 'sI assure
you, my friends, you will always
find me steering a straight middle
course between right and wrong"
This is not the true spirit of COM
promise; rather does it mean straight
hitting whenever it can be done !;
when common sense says it cannot,
then do the next best thing possible.
Away back in the sos Judge Will
Jams delivered his views on this sub,
ject of compromise in lecture on
that title, which he delivered in sew
eral of the valley towns. He worked
under this flag in the Reconstruction
period, at time when any other
course would simply have let loose
the dogs of war again, when the
remnant that has now grown to such
a lusty manhood would have other
wise been still further torn and
wasted.
If this spirit taken in its true
interpretation-not meaning the com
promise of good with evil, but the
accommodation that would adjust
the edges, which otherwise would not
come together-could be extended
to the incidents of every day hfe
and made a part of each mans code
of action, how much more smoothly
the affairs of life would glide.
