Why He Wanted Rss.-sness.


 At credit mems dinner one of cbo veterans told this story: In the recon strucuon days man from Missis- sippi valley town came to our western house one day. We had sold him be- fore in small way, and he always paid. He had enlarged his business, he told us, and wanted bigger uns than usual, but before making his e. lections he wanted Us to give him ref erences. We expressed surprise at such an unheard of demand, but he said, My two brothers-tn-law have gone in with me, and they're very par tlcular as to whom they do business with So we sent him to our banks, and he came back, said we were all right picked out q big line of goods, and in sixty days he busted We couldn't collect dollar Two years later I met the man in Cincinnati and told him we had become reconciled to our loss. But will you please tell me, l asked, why did you want references as to our creditT Well. you see he answered, I wanted to know if you could stand it. .'"-Exchan&e.

His own state dared not to place
political leadership in the hands OF the
late Robert @. Ingersoll and we hardly
think this country will want to place
itself under the guidance OF man
who has found in Ingersoll his chief
inspiration. In his autobiography, now
running in the American Magazine"
La Toilette is effusive in his expression
of admiration for Ingersoll, whom he
calls q rare, bold, heroic figure He
tells how, standing In the post-office
before poster containing one of In
gersolPs speeches, "oblivious Of my
surroundings, read 1t with tears
streaming down my face. Ingersoll
had q tremendous influence upon me. =
saysl La Toilette, "as, indeed. he had
upon many young men of that time.
It was not that he changed my beliefs,
but that he liberated my mind. Free
dom was what he preached; he want
ed the shackles off everywhere"
History records, however, that this
rare. bold, heroic figure" who APP
pealed 50 powerfully to La Follette's
imagination, was more OF an icono-
clast than a liberator. His mission
was to undermine the religious be-
aiefs OF those who would pay the
price to hear him lecture. Not once
did he put anything positive or con-
structive In the place OF that which
he sought to destroy. We cannot be-
lieve that the American people are
ready to turn over the destiny OF the
country Ito any man who frankly con-
fesses that he received the inspiration
Of his life from Robert @. Ingersoll,
the apostle Of destruction and the
advocate Of annihilation. --Leslies.
