The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-19

Has it ever occurred to you
when you have met peculiar
person, abrupt in his way, i'm
patient. short tempered, that
after all there may be excuses for
him? 1t is frequently true, for
instance, that great musicians
are very odd in their dealings
with the world. Using the must
clan only as an example, how ur-
gent it becomes in our dealings
with our fellow creatures to I'M
derstand that there are many
view points on any subject, and
that the failure of a person to
understand us or see just as we
do should not place him outside
of our sympathy; for to him we
may also be difficult of under
standing.
Referring again to the musi-
clan, picture his state of mind.
He is alive to melody, he perhaps
even hears music Within himself
like Schubert, and then comes
petty troubles, or an unpleasant
voice TO break in upon his tone
dreamings. lis it astonishing
that his nerves should be on edge
and distressed at the bothering
probabilities of life?
This then leads to the plea for
charity towards those who differ
from us, for we ourselves have
oddities and difficult characters
and unyielding points of stubborn
nonsense that will call for charity
on the part of others if we are to
get along comfortably with our
fellow creatures.
And is there not related to this
the thought that friendship does
not consist in two people agree
ing on every point? IL consists
III finding some points on which
to agree most heartily, without
trying to force to compel an
agreement on everything,
Let us go armed through life
with large cloaks of charity for
differences, and we shall win
more to our way of thinking on
important subjects than is posi-
BILE il we condemn every differ
ence, as If all of life and all death
depended upon agreement in
every trifling particular. Let us
acknowledge that as varied as
are the forms of living things SC
varied are the different minds and
developments and characters OF
men and women. and it will not
be long before our duty of kind
illness toward all human beings
because they are human beings
will win from even the hardes
and most difficult a feeling O.
kindness towards US.

AT least one hundred republi-
can Congressman have already
left Washington for home to look
after their fences-to repair their
defences. May we not hope also
to expiate their offenses.

Porto Rico is about swarm.
Five hundred of her school teach

THE "kNooKER."

complacent air the hustlers' eff
forts to add to and maintain the
prestige now enjoyed by our
community ?
The above may not be the ex-
act words used by the "Melan-
choly Dane" in his soliloquy, but
for the matter in mind they will
serve as a text.
In every community, especial
ly in q new country, there exists
a class of men-and women, too
who seem to be imbued with o
chronic desire to combat all that
which tends to the betterment
and advancement of their own
home town. These people, for
want of a better name, are called
Knockers"
No matter what new enter
prise seeks to enter their town,
whether or not it might be o
benefit, this class gets out its
hammer and proceeds to knock
right and left in an effort to pre-
JUDGE their neighbors against
proposition. They may not do
this because they do not think
the enterprise will be benefit,
but solely to crafty their dispo-
sition to knock. Many worthy
towns have been practically kill
ed because of the Knockers eff
forts.
Again, man may stand for
election to a public Office. He is
honest, upright and capable.
Nothing whatever can be said
against his character, but as soon
as his candidacy becomes known
Mr.. Knocker is after him. The
Knocker remembers the candi
date as a boy; when he was sell
ing papers, or saving wood, or
backing boots. For that reason
he should not be elected and the
Knocker gets busy trying to de-
feat him. In this manner some
of the meanest, low-down party
whipped incompetents have been
elected over their every way cap
able opponents and in the end
have proven costly to their con-
stituency.
A man goes into a new coun-
try; he looks around and recog-
nizes the natural possibilities of
the section. He secures a hold.
ing, enlists capital and proceeds
to inaugurate q campaign of inn
provement. Settlers are Undue
ed to come and the prospects for
opening up the mines and for the
cultivation of the section are
bright. But the Knocker is
awake, ready and anxious to be
heard. At the first opportunity
he buttonholes the newcomer
and pours into his ears a tale of
woe, and this is the burden of
his song This country is no
good; people here now are living
a sort of hand to mouth existen-
ce; the proposition you are here
to look over is nothing but a
money-making scheme and after
its promoters have gotten your
money you will find yourself
richer in experience and poorer
in pocket" In many instances
the Knockers argument causes
the prospective settler to throw
it up and thus the community
loses a good citizen and the
Knocker is happy because of his
success in soaring the other away.
A young lady is observed walk
ing on the street with q man. AS
soon as he sees them the Knock
er pulls down his vest and be-
comes active. The lady's name
is handed around promiscously
and at the end she is credited
with a reputation anything but
white. Thousands of young
women have been driven to sui
eide and others to deeper depths
of degradation by the virulent
remarks of that moral leper, the
Knnnlxo,.
