EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

1t is bad enough to say unkind
things-even true ones-about people
to anyone at all.
But it is much worse to say unkind
things about a person to someone
who likes or admires him.
The more people you can admire
and like the better it is for your own
character.
Admiration and affection exercise
the muscles of the soul. Whoever sell
dom admires or like anyone will have
an i'll developed soul. =.
For that reason I think it is wicked
to say anything that will tend to spoil
anyone for somebody who likes him.
An oft repeated sneer, a frequent
mention of some disagreeable trait,
has often been a fly in the ointment
Of my enthusiastic admiration of
someone.
do not think 1 am less loyal than
most people, but when half dozen
people have insisted on telling me
that the man I have admired so thor
oughly is very stingy to his family l
can not help wondering if he is after
all the perfect being that L painted
him.
know that some of these people
ilIusioning me, but l would much
rather have gone on thinking him
perfect to the end of the chapter.
If you simply must say unkind
things about people, do be careful to
say them to their enemies rather than
their friends.
Did you ever realize that your worn
out clothing does not really belong
to you; that you have absolutely no
right to leave it in your chest?
Morally, of course. I mean.
What you can no longer use be-
longs to those who can use it.
You simply hold it in trust until
you can find the rightful owners.
Think over your possessions-what
you call your possession, 1 mean.
Is there in your chest upstairs any
warm suit or coat or dress that you
will probably never wear again?
If there is it is your duty to see
that the one who needs that coat or
suit or dress, who needs it with the
terribly imperative need Of the half
clad, shall. receive it.
In these days that task is very easy.
It doesn't require any more effort
than to call up on the telephone any
one of the half dozen agencies-the
Salvation Army. your church, and SO
forth-that stand ready and eager to
find for you the owner of the proper
ty that you hold in trust
And in proportion as the task is
easy. so is the sin great if you fail to
perform 1t.
The days are growing cold. Almost
every day you see people shivering
under the wretched protection of
threadbare and insufficient clothes.
If within your possession is any
warm clothing unused, yours is the
responsibility of these peoples suffer-
ing.

civil government, and to educate them
to be vigilant towards their life, lib
erty, character, property, religion, vir-
tue and truth. But the question of the
propriety of the actions of Professor B.
c. Mathews in acting as chairman over
a public meeting in the city of Newark
was of a good or evil intent lies in the
natural ambition which Mr.. Mathews
desired to manifest. AS a learned gen.
tleman there can be no doubt but what
he understands his general rights as a
citizen. The common intent of this as
sembled body was to condemn the I'M
just and ~dishonorable punishment of a
fellow being in a foreign land. They
being well versed in the history of
Spain and her many crimes against hui
mainly in the Western hemisphere they
probably remembered the Maine" and
the skeletons now %s}umbering in the
black mire of Havana Harbor. How
ever, the protest was most natural to
all true Americans, and the true Amer
lean commonwealth will eulogize men
who condemn i~nsidious and intrigue
conspiracy. The American people ap-
plaud men who possess the courage to
honestly defend the common principles
that lead to the establishment of HUI
man justice. This is inherent in every
American soul.
There is a factor born in every unity
that forms a power to defend human
rights and this factor so far in our his
tory has not been divorced from our
representative government. Our nature
our independence, our civil and relig-
ious institutions must remain couched
within the immortal and sublime sphere
of a just Creator. Mr.. Mathews n the
assembled citizens represented in this
public meeting intended no immoral re-

masses in SPAIN Now then, what
We're the "circumstances?'
The London Times, whose correspond
ent attended the proceedings, tells us
that at the trial the fundamental prin-
clples of justice were disregarded, no
direct evidence was produced by the
prosecution, the defense was denied
witnesses and wen the accused was not
examined.
And now, what was the charger 1t
has been given out that he led the.
July revolt in Barcelona, but there was
no proof to back this charge. Says the
London News: The charges connect
ing him (Ferrer) with the sanguinary
butcheries at Barcelona were based up
On captured correspondence, which,
from the evidence presented at the
court martial % pointed to manifest
forgery"
The real causes of Ferrer's persecu.
tons We're these, as Current Literature
has it: His eminence as an educator,
his generosity in distributing his con>
siderable wealth among the poor, the
charm of his style as a popularizer of
economics among the humber classes
have rendered him odious to the cler-
icals. BY making himself pioneer of
lay education in the dominions of King
Alfonso Senior Ferrer attacked the basis
of that d~enominational school system
to which h Roman Catholic Church is
SO attached" n which, by the way,
left 6S per cent. of the population of
Spain illiterate. And further, "the
ecclesiastical authorities were denounc-
ing his heresies and trying to close his
schools"
All this goes to show that Professor
Francisco Ferrer was the victim of a
vile plot to murder him, not for his
acts, but for his opinions. Professor
Byron c. Mathews knowing all this,
and recognizing Professor Ferrer's
standing in the scientific world, and
having perhaps a tender feeling toward
a fellow-educator. felt called upon, as
a brave, liberty-loving, law-abiding,
progressive scholar and a man, to pro-
test against the atrocious murder of one
of the best friends the human race ever
had Professor Mathews was there to
celebrate the m%artyrdom of a hero who
a well be compared with our own I'M
mortal John Brown, not to assume any
responsibility for that one man in the
audience who became unruly. For my
religious friends let me add that the
principal speaker last Monday was the
Rev. Henry Frank, of New York city,
a preacher and a follower of the lowly
Nazarene, Jesus Christ.
