That populist exhorters and COM
munistic declaimers all aver their
hatred of thrift and it's accumulations
everybody knows. And everybody
but their immediate dupes sees and
understands that by mere words those.
exhorters and declaimers would get
money which successful men get by
work and retain for use as by good
Judgment, self-denial and careful
management.
To hate people who have earned
and saved a competence to array all
the thriftless against the thrifty to
stir up discomfort and make antagon-
isms in the social and industrial life
of the United States and at the same
time to gain for themselves political
prominence and pecuniary compe-
tence is the object and aim of ninety
nine out of every hundred of the bla-
tant advocates of populism, which is
communism only thinly disguised.

most universal dread of being alone.
Nothing frightens the average states
man in this country so much as to
find himself alone in the support of a
great truth or principle, which in
moment Of uncomfortable vehemence,
he may have proclaimed to his party
or the whole people and had rejected.
This idea of being with the crowd,
herding with the majority, permeates
all the politicians of the partisan or
ganizations of the different states.
And never until the present discus
sion as to whether the Republic had
better or better not add to it's citizen
ship, besides the already secured lep-
ers of the Sandwich Islands,. millions
of half civilized, hybridized and in
ferior beings in the Philippine and
West Indian Islands, has this fear of
being found alone with a principle or
truth which the multitude repel,
been so visible amidst the officialism
and officeseekingism of the United
States.
Moral courage seems to have been
pretty thoroughly bred out of the
male mass Of humankind. The Gus
tom of ascertaining the trend and
tone of the mob and following the
same, while posing as leader, has so
long obtained that it has become a
sort of second nature among American
politicians. And the voice of the
slums and sins of great cities, al
though known to be the utterance of
ignorance and crime has been and
continues to be accepted as the Vor Del
for patriots in pursuit of ballots that
may place them in offices. The Oft
repeated lie that "a majority is al
ways right" has come to be regarded
as social and political axiom And

ed with any religious faith, many
have seemingly concluded that
wickedness is therefore, especially in
a public matters, more popular and
and honesty.
West Point and Annapolis perfect
the youth Of the country who are
there schooled in all arts of war.
Physical courage is coached, exer-
cised and disciplined in those great
national institutions until their pupils
are perfectly prepared to enter apon
those vast international orpse-mak-
ing matches, called battles anywhere
ON earth. Such splendid machinery
has modern civilization and Christian
ity invented for the wholesale de-
struction of humanity when the op-
posing armies of two refined and pi-
Gus people meet in conflict that physi-
cal courage has become almost part
of the mechanism of that magnificent
murder which we call war.
And now the need is for men who
have that sort of intellectual and
moral bravery that will make them
bold enough to tell the truth, to ad-
vocate the truth, and if need be, to
politically die for the truth.
The schools, colleges, and universi-
ties of this Republic should teach
their students the Importance of think
ing instead of depending upon what
others have thought.
Individuality and the strength and
self-reliance of an enlightened inde-
pendence in thought and speech are
sadly lacking in the public life of the
United States.
Men who dare to denounce wrong,
in the face of mad populace who for
the moment approve and support the
wrong, are needed now.
The old fallacy that "a majority is
always right was exploded on Cal

by industry, sobriety, good manage
ment and self-denial, enough capital
to hire mind and muscle to work for
him. Then it is that he becomes a
target and is denounced as a tyrant.
Then it is that he is lashed by the
tongues of those fervid lovers of "the

down the country proclaiming the
greed and wickedness of the capital
istic classes, and are also collecting
money from wage-earners with which
to pay themselves for making an econ
omic disturbance. They hate money,
but get it by any and every device ex-
cept that of honest efforts to earn
money. Each one of them denounces
capital and capitalists, and each one
of them is ambitious to get capital
and become capitalist. They tell
how hard the times are, and how
close money is, and brag of getting
five hundred dollars for single
speech full Of froth and fallacy. They
talk of the limited libraries for plain
people and boast of sales, amounting
to hundreds of thousands of dollars for

What Happened When One Woman Went

What Happened When One Woman Went
to Call on Another tho Other Day.
New York Evening Sun: woman the
other day went to call upon another wo-
man who may be always relied upon to
act up to certain well-recognized idiosyn-
crasies. With great ceremony the caller
was ushered into the drawing room,
with it's dim lights. its FAINT fragrance of
incense, its blazing fire upon the hearth.
Hardly had the butler announced her
name when the hostess rushed forward
and grasped the visitor with both hands.
My dear, I'm delighted to you"
cried the hostess; then. dropping the
hands and turning to the wood box by
the hearth, she drew forth a fat black
book. Opening it till it's back cracked,
the hostess thrust the book under the
blazing log with a melodramatic gesture:
That's how l treat the Social Register!'
she cried. Dear met observed the Wis
itor. letting out the first thing that en-
tered her astonished head: do you do
that to every caller?" The hostess didn't
answer. AS the call progressed the visitor
fell to wondering whether it wasn't just
gas log and whether the whole thing
wasn't just u neat little parlor trick per-
formed for the benefit of each caller, the
book pulled carefully out from the log
and the ashes blown from it at the end Of
one visit that it might serve again at the
next. But no, the log was the real thing.
as turn of the head proved. for there
lay the book blazing away merrily be-
meath. BY the time the woman rose to so
the book was in ashes In the open air,
free from the spell of the dim lights and
the faint fragrance of incense the woman
got to thinking. II don't believe it was

Tho Supremacy of Right.


oh. it is hard to work for God,
10 rise and take His part
Upon this battlefield Of earth
And sometimes not lose heart!
He hides Himself so wondrously,
AS though there were no God;
ne is least seen when all the powers
or Ill are most abroad.
Or He deserts us at the hour
The fight is all but lost,
ana seems to leave us to ourselves
Just when we need Him most
III masters good; good seems to change
TO Ill with greatest ease,
ana, worst of all, the good with good
Is at cross purposes.
Ali God is other than we think;
Ills ways are far above,
Far beyond reasons height, and reached
only by childlike love.
Workmen of God o lose not heart,
But learn what God Is like
And in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike.
Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible.
BEST, too, is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie;
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to mans blindfold eye.
For right is right, since God is God:
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
