Those who do not favor a particular
amusement have left them the privi-
lege of retaining from an indulgence
in it. Beyond this point, it is ever
well to express your judgment with
discretion; that is to say, it is never
well to force your personal judgment
too strongly on people who are just as
capable to make up their minds as
to right and wrong, as to propriety
and improperly, as you are yourself.
Instead OF doing good it, ir deed, often
does harm, in that it makes you the
object Of laughter and contempt. The
ordinary human being-especially if
he be one OF intelligence and expert
ence-resents the over solicitation OF
the cheap, unsought advice Of people
whom he regards as no whit wiser OF
better than himself, and no more ca
pable of setting a moral or socia

There is rebellion going apace in
Colombia. Nicaragua wants the Mic.
laragua canal built. 1t is possible that
the latter country has made it clear
to Colombia that she does not want
the Panama route accepted by the
United States, and that unless some
effective obstacle is raised by Colombia
to the consummation OF the Panama
deal, Nicaraguan forces will be found
rendering aid and comfort to the rebel
forces OF the South American country
This would be an effective argument
