DO WE TALK TOO MUcH2
Opinion Expressed That Americans
Underrate Value of Silence.

Opinion Expressed That Americans
Underrate Value of Silence.
In the United States we are prone
to talk 100 much. We do not suffi-
GENTLY appreciate the value and beau.
ty of silence.
During the after business hou,'s, at
the lunch and dinner table we talk on
and on without ceasing, as though
there was nothing worth thinking
about. We invented the first talking
machine, and no American is consid-
cred properly equipped unless he can
talk at all times and upon all sub
jects.
Information must be impaired and
ideas exchanged; it is essential to
mental companionship and develops
our faculties of expression. But there
is no necessity for the endless and
eternal talk in which so many of us
indulge.
There is a great force and value in
silence. 1t enables us t o think. II
forms and expresses character. The
great men IF the world were relative
ly silent men; they talked only when
they had something to say, and the
| greatest of them said but very little
We should study the beauty OF 81
lence and develop our thinking power
rather than our talking power.-Ex

NOT SAYING ANYTHING.

Profound silence reigns in the
camp of the machine in regard to the
contingent fund that two machine
governors have used for the increase
of their salaries beyond the constitu-
tional limit-a contingent fund that
is now being conveyed to the execu-
tive pocket at the rate of $1,400 a
year.
Some Legislation permitting this
co ntinuous raid on the state treasury
has been passed by a machine con-
trolled legislature, but the effect of
the legislation is unconstitutional
and the Legislation must therefore
partake of hat objection.
That an illegal law can for many
years be maintained is a disgraceful
commentary on the morals Of the state,
as reflected through the acts of its Of
fetal The Press has shown that two
governors OF South Dakota have added
the contingent fund to their salaries

in regular monthly installments and

illegal law.
