Poor But Honest.

mas apparently gone Oub OF use III Vllese
days when there is such strife Tor
money and what it will bring. 1t APP
pears that where money is plentiful
easy to get and easy to spend-there
is a greater amount of dishonesty than
at any other time. Daily papers are
full of accounts Of hold-ups, of trust
ed clerks who have gone wrong, OF
cashiers who have absconded, and the
only reason they have for their actions
is that they had the money where they
could use it and were unable to resist
the temptation.
No man enters upon life of dis
honesty intentionally. He is drawn in
to it by influences that he is unable or
unwilling to resist. All boys and
young men recognize that the highest
ideals in life are incompatible with
the least faint Of vice, and outwardly
at least, they strive to appear what in
wardly they are not.
This is no better illustrated than in
the life and character of Judge Ogle. |
the Mankato man who has SO sur
prisingly dealt with his friends IN a |
business way that he is now seeking
refuge from the law in a flight that |
will drive him to the land OF outcasts |
and forever bar him from the habita-
tions of respectable people, not so
much because he is not fit to associate
with them, for there are many who in
smaller way are just as corrupt, but
because he has been found out and is
afraid of the law.
1t is not the size of the steal that
makes the crime. Five dollars. to a
poor man would be equal to all that
Judge Ogle took. 1t simply emphasizes
the Importance Of not spending more
than you have and not living beyond
your income. After all, satisfaction
does not come in the accumulation OF
money, and happiness is not gained
by large bank accounts. 1t is simple
wants and contented spirit that make
towards the best there is in life, and
he is fortunate who finds it thus.
Law, strictly interpreted, is common
sense. 1t is founded upon justice.
Justice is not discrimination. A man
may sit in Judgment on his own actions
and be condemned for fool: but he
has no business to sit in judgment on
the actions of another, presuming that
his Judgment is Invaluable. There are
few of Gus good citizens" however,
who are SO Individually right that their
Judgment should not be questioned,
these should have little place fenced
off in the future estate, reserved for the
sanctifed, that they might herd to-
gether in the Green pastures of their
own bliss where they can love each
other to distraction for a spell and
then hate for all eternity. Such
E-Liesch-ian field would delight the
gods of Nero and the worthy votaries
of this sort of justice might get to-
gether and publish an abestos paper
where the higher criticism would only
result in praise for the one who con-
demned the hardest and abused the
most.
According to Mr.. Liesch the sub
scription to his paper is something like
the story of the man who made appli-
cation to an advertising agent for
some business. He was asked where
his paper circulated. The reply was
that it circulated in Europe, Asia,
Africa and parts of the United States
and he had hard work to keep it from
geing to hell. In view of the fact thai
Mr.. Liesch is so wonderfully success.
