Discourage litigation, was his

nominal winner is often the real loser

AS q peacemaker the lawyer has su-
peri n opportunity OF becoming good

business. Never stir up litigation
A worse man can scarcely be founo
than one who does this. Who can BIZ
more nearly fand than he who
habitually overhauls the register OF
deeds in search Of defects in titles,
wherein to stir up strife and put
money in his pocket? A moral tone

An Address to Boys.

The following address by Judge
Wofford, of Kansas City. to boys gives
advice that should b. read by every
boy in the land Read it to your boy
this morning:
81 have been on the bench fourteen
years and during that time thousands
of boys have been brought before me,
but not one Of them was q constant
attendant At church or Sunday school
or obedient to his father or mother.
I have inquired of many boys what
caused them to get into trouble and
have found that in mos. instances,
staying away from home and school,
playing pool, hanging around saloons
and cigarette smoking are responsible.
Start right, boys. To be any
body, to accomplish anything for your.
self or the community You cannot be
idle. Don't drink--liquor destroys
the mind and the body. Dom swear.
Gentlemen do not. It is low and
vulgar. Don't read trashy literature.
It leads to the devil. Don't hang
around saloons Good men are not
made that way. Whenever you see q
man lying around saloon THE devil
is after him and will get him sooner
or later. Benjamin franklin would
never have accomplished anything if
he had been guilty Of these practices
Be honest about all things. Poor
boys make the best future citizens.
ITO make good man you must be
good boy. So start right. The
graveyard is filed with those WHO
started wrong. The world is growing
better. The teachings of Christ are
beginning to be felt. Let me impress
upon You the only road to success is
by living a right life. Be honest. in.
dustrious, frugal. Il is not necessary
to be sanctimonious--to wear long
face. Keep laughing. Have good
time as you go through life. but let it
be the right sort Of good time, If
we we're all angels the world would
not be fit to live in =

ed at the immense number of the in.

pie. We have heard not few cry
out that all honor is dead. We re-
greet to hear anyone express such an
opinion. not only because such view
is quite erroneous, but because OF the
evil effects such expressions have upon
the unthinking.
AS q matter Of fact, the shock
among our people that is apparent
when the cases of dishonesty are re-
vealed, is an evidence of high sense
OF honor among our citizenship.
Again it appears to as that the fact
that this wrong-doing is being ferret.
ed out is evidence of an awakened in.
telligence and an aroused conscience
on the part Of our people. Never
before has it been so apparent that
honesty is the best policy. Some one
will say that much of the honesty on
the part of our leaders is merely as
sumed, but the fact that the leaders
are forced to assume this role is proof
that they are responding to a senti-
ment that is powerful. We ara glad
that we still have faith in the final
supremacy Of good over evil, and that
we think that we see all about us sub
stance upon which your faith may
feed. Let not our older men teach
the yoEnger that there is no honor,
unless they would have the world
abandon it's principles.
