THINK Q 1T.

We like the sentiment expressed by
the Greenfield Times when it says:
Don't laugh at a drunken man reel
ing through the street, however ludi-
crous the sight may be; just stop to
think. He is going home to some ten
der heart that will throb with intense
agony; some doting mother will grieve
over the downfall Of her once sinless
boy, or it may be a fond wife, whose
heart will almost break with grief as
she views the destruction of her idol,
or it may be a loving sister who will
shed bitter tears over the degradation
of her brother, shorn of his manliness
and self, respect. Rather, drop a tear
in silent sympathy with those hearts
90 keenly sensitive and tender, yet so
proud and loyal that they cannot &C
cept sympathy rendered to them either
In word or look, although it may fall
upon their wounded hearts as refresh.

duty In this matter, and do all we q
for ourselves and those around us.
We know that at times everything
looks dark and gloomy, but we must
work the harder, ever keeping in mind
the fact that success will attend honest
efforts prompted by pure motives.
We must work. We must move
forward, or we shall surely go back
ward. There is no standing still in the
work of life. Let US be patriotic and
work for the upbuilding of our coun
try. We must disabuse our minds of
the belief that patriotism is dead; that
public virtue has lost it's place in the
hearts of men. and that there is no one
to solve the problems which confront
US.
The American people-the civilized
world, is in a mad struggle to get rich.
Natures store houses are unlocked, her
powers are ~harnessed, her seas and
plains are traversed TO increase mans
possessions. Dishonesty, prevarica
ton, injustice and the: cursed tyranny
of wealth is all too often used to in
crease the grasp and tighten the hold
of man upon the treasures of the earth.
With too many, the higher principles
of manhood, of patriotism, OF unseldsh
devotions to the best interests Of hu
manity, occupy a secondary place, If
they occupy any place at all, The
patriotism of our fathers is forgotten
and s%el6shness seems to have taken the
place of all the higher and nobler in.
terests of humanity. All this sowing
to the wind is reaping a whirlwind OF
strikes, of hungry men, women and
children, and of broad and organic
discomfort. If ever an age called for
craftsmanship, it is this-the very even
ing of the nineteenth century. The
complexities Of government and the
