Common Sense.

1t seems strange, considering the
scarcity or exercise OF the quality, that
it should be called common" sense.
Common sense is the most uncom-
mon virtue in the everyday world Of
men and women. 1t is the second
greatest thing in the world. Exer-
cised always, it does more to oil the
wheels OF progress and keep down the
jar and friction in the machinery OF
affairs than any other quality in the
world. 1t is never in hurry; and it
is never afraid, and therefore slow. 1t
never carries chip on its shoulder;
and it never sees the chip on the other
fellows shoulder. 1t takes no snap
Judgments; it allows other people to
stand innocent before the bar OF its
opinion, until proven guilty. It is
never carried off it's feet by popular
clamor, and it is never afraid OF its
shadow. 1t refuses to be dragged into
other peoples troubles or rows. 1t
always says the right word in the
right place, and keeps its mouth shut
at the proper time.
1t doesn't try to force its opinion
down anybody's throat; and it is al
ways open to conviction as to the
right or wrong of its own opinion. 1t
sees both sides of a question; it does
its own thinking, and it allows other
people to do theirs. 1t is slow to give
promises, faithful in keeping them,
calm, temperate and courteous in de-
bate, good tempered, cool-headed,
clear-sighted, steadfast and brave. 1t
isn't ruffled by trifles. 1t never mixes
essentials. 1t is truthful, consistent,
and promoter of harmony and good
will. 1t never goes out of its way to
make an enemy or wound friend. 1t
moves on q straight line to an ulti-
mate goal, without being pulled to
the right or to the left by side issues.
1t is never forced to snatch at expe-
dents because it foresees the logical
outcome of any question, and hence is
always repaired to meet emergencies
with unerring judgment.
All in all, it is more to be desired
without genius than genius is to be
desired without common sense. Com.
mon sense always wins success. Gen
ius sometimes wins success without
common sense; but it never long
keeps its winnings without this great
quality in charge in the pilot house.
