The World is Not So Bad.
Dover Index.
In thees days when mankind is i'm
patient, uncharitable and doubling it
makes us think. Should we lost conf
dence in every one? After calm and
serious consideration Of some recent un-
pleasant experience here is about what
we thought: When a man gets up and
says he has no confidence IN humanity
and all men are rascals or thieves or
grafters. the chances are that he VIII

all gone to tho bad yet, not by a long
shot, and when we ncar such state
ments we can't help tut think that the
man who made A is Judging his fellow
man by his own unenviabe self.
A man must be lonely and miserable,
indeed when he reaches the point where
he is the only pebble on the beach. the
only good and honest man. so to speak.
Yet we often hear men make such state
ments. DON'T brother, you can't af-
ford IT, For the good book says. no man
liveth unto himself, and the time may
be near at hand when you will need the
help of this misiudged fellow man. We
may have been wronged by some one In
whom we had confidence, but we should
remember that there are others. and,
taken as a whole. that the real black az
heart rascals constitute very small mi
nority IN this old world No sir. all are
not bad yet, not even all who appear
bad.
This old world Is being trodden today
by good. true and honest men, and the
chances are that our truest. bravest and
best men are treading the toughest and
most humble paths. We may be mis-
taken but we are glad that we can yet
belle - and feel that in our daily walks
among our fellow creatures we still meet
and have dealings with some good ana

men were honest, but We can't, and we

Whatever may be the motive that inspires

a law breaker. Moreover he is not merely
stealing a ride but is incurring grave dan

Continuing his explanation Of the car
riding matter and the plan of act on that
is being followed, he stated that it does
not represent a movement to distress or
harrass any one, but rather a movement
of protection both for the ra lroad a d for

that the car rider taken in any sense one
