len years or SO ago a man in this town
was active in politics. He was chairman
OF the committee He got out and
worked. He was effective. What he
went after he got. He lined up with
lot of fellows, and did about as they said
not that he was weak; he was strong
enough, but they were leaders and he
was obliging. He was good fellow.
When the man got into trouble-what
did his friends in politics do for him?
Cut him deadl That's what all friends
who are merely political friends may be
expected to do to any man, says William
Allen White. There is nothing in poll
tics but politics. The man who plays the
game is not going to get out Of the game
and use his heart much. He is in it to
win. Winning is more to a man in poll
tics than friendship-than gratitude,
than anything on earth. There is moth
ing in politics in the end but wormwood
and bitterness and vanity and vexation
OF spirit. II a man desires to succeed in
business, he should keep out of the game
as a game. lie should vote, get into the
primaries on the right side and when he
can, be in the caucus; but there is moth
ing in politics as game but heart break.
The wrecks Of this town and state are
expoliticians. The men who have won
in this state are the men who have been
Interested in politics only MS far as they
could help honest men to win. In Office
hunting there is only ashes and bitterness.
In manipulating political events there is
only gall and wormwood The man who
ten years ago in this town did everything
under heaven to help his political friend
now couldn't get pleasant look out OF
that friend, much less chew OF fine cut.
That is the story repeated by the thou
sandth time. Manly friendships are the
salt OF life. The ability to help ones
fellow men is a worthy object for any life.
But to play politics for the sake OF win
ning-that is about the shallowest game
there is on earth.

Here is minister who appreciates the
editor. At recent editorial convention
he offered the following toast: "To save
an editor from starvation, take his paper
and pay for it promptly. To save him
from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper
liberally. To save him from despair,
send him every item of news OF which
you can get hold. To keep him from

plainly on one side of sheet and send
it in as early as possible. To keep him
from mistakes, bury him. Dead people

apparently about two years old. The

Work lends dignity to girls an added

Random Thoughts

Work is a great blessing. You cannot
see now, but some day you will say that
you were fortunate in your boyhood days
because yor were compelled to work.
Because you cannot get power to do
things save by doing them. Look over
the successful men you know. Get their
history. Nearly everyone was compelled
to work in boyhood. They toughened
their muscles by hard work and sharp
ened their brains by looking out for
themselves.
