COURAGE.
By WILLIAM H. BAwDEh.

COURAGE.
According to the dictionary cour-
age is that quality of mind whlch
meets danger or opposition with IN
trepidity, calmness and IL
is when danger or opposition is met
In Of duty and without
regard to the cost to self or others
that the courage takes on a hlghly
moral tone. And 1t IS just this KIND
of courage that is very much need
ed today, the country over.
For instance, when some mlser-
able wretch has been arrested for the
heinous crime of assaulting some
woman, and there is not the SHADOW
of a doubt concerning his guilt, for a
sheriff to stand off a mob OF 1ndlg-
nant citizens at the point OF the PTS
l+ol. even to the extent of wotndlng
or killing some of them n the up
holding of the law, which Is his
sworn duty, requires just this hlgh
sort of courage.
Another instance has only recent
ly come to light. In n OF our
southern states a certain man killed
another who had insulted the Tor
mer's sister. This occurred fourteen
wears ago, when he was sentenced Tor
life. But soon afterwards he escaped
and has since been living an upright
life under an assumed name. Only
recently he returned to his native
state, was recognized and arrested,
when a movement looking toward
his pardon was begun. Governor
Rrawn-!af-mhlss memorandum refusing
such pardon, said: Above the roll
ing tide and obecuring fog of sym
.nathetic pleas and emotions we can
not fail to see the rock OF the rec
ord which shows that Thomas Edgar
Stripping, by a jury of his peers, was
convicted of the murder of a fellow
man." 1t took a rare courage to pen
those words.
The same kind of courage is need
ed In every relation of our modern
life. with It's many perplexing tides
and currents, Many influences are
brought to bear upon men, IN bust
ness and social life, and the tendency
Is all toward-a too great laxity. We
are often swayed by our inclinations,
by our own selfish interests, by the
entangling community Of interests
we have with others, and are carried
off our feet before we are aware.
Nevertheless, there is but one ques-
ton ringing for an answer, namely,
What Is the right? Having once de-
termtned that, we should steer u
actions accordingly, Just as unswerv-
lngly the mariner holds his vessel by
chart and compass. But this re
ouires the highest kind of courage,
nowadays especiallyi but it's worth
the having.

"Dr. Latson isn't dead. There Is no
death IN u reunion. He may be
through with his corporal body, but |
could summon him with signals that
we both know"
The coroner asked her what she
meant. She explained eagerly. six
years ago she met DR.. Latson by
chance and was attracted by him. He
was, she said, q Theosophist, learned
In Buddhist and the occult. She was
interested In oriental religions and
talked to the doctor about them, He
told her that his cult was an improve
ment on all of the old faiths, since he
had taken only the best from each,
She became a convert to the doctors
ideas.
"He was my man god" she said sim,
ply.
The coroner asked the girl If she
loved Latson.
Loved him7 OF course I loved him.
she replied. HE was good and great;
he was q perfect man."

the honor AMI care which you have be-
slowed upon me and the uniform kindnes
with which you have always treated me.
The memory of having enjoyed the privi-
lege Of being associated with you and my
colleagues Of the cabinet in the discussion
Of so many great questions affecting the
welfare of our country will always be
cherished by me as inestimable.
with all good wishes for YOU, and with
the hope that one 80 able. patriotic and
devoted may long be spared for the serv-
Ices Of his country, I am, very sincerely,

FRUIT GROWERS HOLD
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
South Mob Hill District Fruit
Growers Association Holds
Interesting Gathering

One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of fruit growers held in the valley
was that of the South Mob Hill Dis
trict Fruit Growers association, which
convened Tuesday evening in the
school house. There was a good sized
crowd present to listen to the argu-
ments put forth for the organization
and the speakers were frequently
cheered. So interested were those
present that, after the meeting was
formally adjourned, they stayed for
more than fifteen minutes talking ov-
er the situation. Many new converts
for the association idea were made.
J. E. shannon, president Of the dis
trict association, called the meeting
to order, and made strong address,
calling attention to the general mar
ket conditions and of the necessity
for a better distribution of fruit. He
said it was far more important for
the growers to sell their fruit than it
was for them to produce it without a
bins of the Yakima Valley Fruit
Growers association spoke at some
length and was listened to attentively
as he told of the work of the or
ganiZation in securing market for
the products of the valley. He gave
them facts and figures to think about
and asked them to give them their
best consideration and then become
members of their district association.
