THINK BEFoRE YOU SPEAK.

There is no question that person
can speak before he thinks, but the
question is, Why doesn't a person think
about what somebody else speaks to
him? The fish should not thank the
fisherman for catching him in the
beautiful big pond or spring and keep
ing him alive in a tub OF water; the
great big elephant should not thank
the hunter for catching him in the
great wide desert and keep him alive
in a cage; the canary bird should not
thank the hunter for catching him
alive in the great wide, airy world and
putting him in cage, even to put him
in the finest of parlors and feeding him
with the best of foods. as he is still
prisoner. These wild animals notice
and feel their mistakes as soon as
they look or notice their situation.
Human beings are always blind. We
don't notice our situation. Why not
stop apd think and consider if a really
good ming is good as long as the next
person calls it good, if it is in his favor
as well as in someone else's favor? To
a person who didn't have any food for
three days, a slice of bread would be
very sweet, but to person who is ac-
customed to the finest and the best Of
food and has it in plenty all the time,
slice Of bread is as nothing.

ing permanent privileges that may be
harmful years hence. The veto message
