The question to be answered in next
weeks issue is:
1t being admitted that whisky and
beer are naturally distasteful to a
beginner. what, in your opinion, is the
principal fnducement to taking the
first drink?
The above question is one to which
every man should be able to give
fairly intelligent answer 1t matters
not whether you are rock-ribbed pro-
hibitionlst, moderate or confirmed
drinker, the point we desire in the
answer is what you consider the in
ducement offered to make man drink
that which on first trial is so repulsive
to his palate and stomach.
Following we give some of the an
swers received to the question "What
in your estimation do you consider the
most prominent trait of truly honest
MANI"
My answer to question may be found
IN Exodus, chapter Xxx, verse II.
H. d. 1881.
The most prominent trait in an
honest mans character just at the
present is his willingness to reSurrect
| from there to embark for Cuba to
assist in dispelling those bloodthirsty
| SpaniardS that have for so long ruled
with despotism over that patriotic lit
tie band domiciled upon that little
| Isle, and to avenge the death of those
American sailors who were murdered
while they were dreaming peaceful
dreams. G. B. 4134.
The most prominent trait of truly
honest man, in my estimation, is some
thing far above that which most of us
ever thought of stopping to consider
until we reached our present abode
where we have plenty of time to stop
and also plenty of time to think it
over. n. Nc. 1880.
The most prominent trait in truly
honest man, is, in my estimation, his
polite and compaisant manners, and
the absence of profanity from his
vocabulary. E. G. 4427.
In my estimation, I consider the
most prominent trait of truly honest
man is, when he draws precise line
between the rich and poor, and remem-
bers the widows and fatherless in their
affections. O. B. V. 1850.
| What 1 believe to be the principal
trait of an honest man, is his integrity
in the simplest thing that he has to
deal with in his daily life, both in
regard to himself and the world. Many
of us think that it is only the thief
that is dishonest; but this is not so; we
can be dishonest in good many other
ways, if we pause and consider the
matter over. G. B. 4763.
Without confidence and faith in our
| fellow creatures, neither ourselves nor
our associates can be honest. Because,
| if we look with peevish suspicion on
person, we not only make scoundrel
and criminal of him, but we show
that we are morally bad ourselves
F. j. 1852.
/ would consider square dealing the
most prominent trait in truly honest
man. Square dealing, in the general
acceptation of the term, followed by
man and he becomes even above queS.
tiOn-a man among men.
c. R. 47O5.
In my estimation it is his eager
willingness to do unto others as he
would have them do unto him.
G.. E. c.. 1916
When truly honest man discovers
that any one else has infringed on the
laws of honor, he becomes imbued
with a sense of Indignation, which
compels him to tear the culprit from
his family and land him in prison, if
possible, regardless of expense. This
in my opinion is his most prominent
trait. In addition, might say, from
my own experience: "There amt no
