RULE OF MAJORITY
PLEA OF PRESIDENT FOUNDED
ON CONSTITUTION.
Protest Is Allowable, But Reputation
OF Duties Is Looked Upon as a
Display of LhtIeness Not
to Be Permitted.

President Taft in his third sermon
in the series of discourses upon moral
themes that has marked his intinerary
took for his text Personal Restraint"
In the home, in the shop, at the coun-
tcr-eyerywhere the man who can say
no at the right time is above tempta-
tion. The man who can say yes at the
right time has the field Of opportunity
before him. In the little things OF
mans varied relations is found the
key to character. When he has
thrown aside his habiliments as presi-
dent of the United States, or Judge, or
clerk or laborer; when he is in the
home and his most intimate nature is
revealed. the real test is applied to a
man. Mr.. Taft referred to the impa-
tient, snappish answer of husband
to a tired wife, admitted he had not
been above the fault of shortness in
replies and condemned such things as
indications of an inaptitude for re-
straint which, if not corrected makes
its appearance in the larger relations
OF life.
"He who conquers himself is great
er than he who taketh a city. Such
was the suggestive text for the presi-
dental discourse. There are many
persons who regard a position OF pow
er as relieving them of the common
amenities and considerations of life
They become puffed up and conceTed
or opinionated and intolerant. Such
persons, by seeking to repress the in
diyiduality of others, tend to lower
the plane of life expression. and by
their illustration of the spirit of in
tolerance and peevishness, of envy
spite. retaliation or revenge, demean
life and lower it's standards.
Mr. Taft does not preach a goody
goody but a practical gospel of mutu
ality and helpfulness. He declared in
the Fresno discourse for respect for
the will of the majority. Yet, on the
other hand. he remarks the true
strength and dignity of sentiment is
found when the majority respects the
minority voice. 1t is the petty and
grasping, the self-seel1ing and sordid
who seek no entrench themselves in
political or any other kind of power
by denying to the voice OF the minor
ity the consideration that such voice
deserves. After all, the majority rules
but unless it is corrected and checked
by the minority it is an autocracy
rather than a representative and cred
! liable force.
Mr.. Taft regards as pusillanimous q
minority that takes to the woods wher
| beaten instead of sturdily fighting the
| battle from such vantage ground as is
/ left it: doing the work of protest and
criticism and taking hold of such
levers as it may grasp. The mere re
| pudiation of duties because they are
not paramount, of responsibilities be
| cause they are not crucial, he regards
| as a species of littieness that should
not be displayed in a land of liberty
! and individuality Such doctrine is
| sound; it is good tonic, and those who
grasp the presidents viewpoint of con
! troll and restraint have acquired 8
/ breadth of philosophy and ethics thai
| will enable them to do their full
share in every phase in life.-Balti

Lucky EskimoS.

Tho Eskimos have no physicians;
indeed, have no name for drugs or
doctors. Nature here acts the good
sanitarian and shuts the door against
all disease germs and blends in their
food iodin, the most powerful and
least harmful of all antiseptics. The
use OF remedies either inside or out
is unknown. Wounds heal up at once
without mattering. All tumors, warts
and cancers ire unknown.
