EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTN CA1EERoN.

When you are debating any question
In your mind do you give the lawyer
for the other side a chance, or have
you long ago silenced him?
What on earth do 1 mean?
Just this:
Ihere is woman in our little circle
with whom it is a pleasure to discuss
anything because she is so fair. asked
her once how she was able to be so just
and reasonable and get the other per-
sons point of view SO wonderfully, and
this is what she said:
4 guess it's because I've always
tried to encourage the lawyer for the
other side instead of silencing him.
why, what do you mean?" 1 asked
just as you did
Well" she said, its this way. When
you are thinking over any matter that
has two sides, something like a wrong
you feel someone has done you, or some
disagreeable thing you know you ought
to do and just hate to,-there's a part
or you that starts in to tell you the
other persons side of the case.
OF course, your first instinct is to
hush that part of you right up and
dwell on your own side of the case.
NOW II you yield to that instinct, the
next time the lawyer for the other side
speaks up inside of you, he isn't quite
SO poid- And every time you silence him.
ne gets more and more timid until
finally he doesn't speak at all. And then
you gradually get to be the kind of
person who never sees the other fellows
point of view of his own accord and
can scarcely see it when it's forced on
MIN. But if you start out by being will
ing to listen to the lawyer for the other
side he's always ready to show you
the other persons point of view. And
II you give him plenty of practice he
learns to do it so skillfully that he
teaches you to be fair minded.
m mighty glad to have you say
m fair minded. / mean to, be and IL
l am, owe it all to the lawyer for the
other side, and the fact that I'VE tried
not to silence him."
DO you recognize in yourself the con-
d1t1ons that the fair minded ladv de-
cribes?
Perhaps it will help if I make her
concrete for you. Suppose YOU have
done a great deal for a certain friend
anu suppose she has some spare tickets

gives them to someone else. OF course

says UNCLE CIV

Let no man who has attained, unde-
serVedly, an evil reputation take too
/ Inuch comfort in the thought that reputa-
uon is only the opinion of others, while
character is real. That the real goal of
existence is the development of charac ter
Ltnrough usefulness is proposition that
brooks no denial. If there be no excel
lence in a mans self, it matters little
what good others say of him.
Yet, the character that is hidden under
the oushel or negative or evil reputation
Is, in social sense, so much waste. 1t
is OF no use to society and, so strong is
our need of sympathy, it is of little COM
fort to its possessor.
1t is the proper function of reputation
to express character. In so far as repu-
or It's own highest function, which is
primarily the enriching of society For
a man may not even keep his character
to himself If he do his duty to his neigh
Dor.
The competent man looks to his rep
utation that he may mold 1t and control it
as he would the qualities of which it
should be the proper and true reflection
He that neglects to fashion other mems
opinions of himself, who gives no thought
to a certain refined sort of self-adVertiS-
ing reveals and magnifies his own defects.
He that is careless in this respect or
bosts that he is Indifferent to the opinions
of hi sfellows is somewhat lacking in that
supreme and holy ambition whose pur-
pose it is to be of the highest possible
use to ones neighbors.
If we are to be of the greatest service
it is essential that we shall first have
made ourselves efficient, honest and in
many things excellent. Next, it is our
privilege and our need to cause all men
to see us as we are. Thus we become an
example to and through a more or less
perfect understanding. the comrade of our
neighbors. In a word, our regulations
become our best advertisement, and our
effectiveness is increased a hundredfold.
Look to your reputation that it serve
you. The world has lost the light of many
a shining character because it has been
hidden under the bushel of adverse opin-
ions.-(Copyright, 1912, by the Mcclure

DRIVING TURKS FROM EUROPE.

DRIVING TURKS FROM EOf<Ofh
The great powers of Europe, cold
and selfish in their statecraft, may III
+ervene to save for the sultan a poor
remnant of the once great European
empire of the Ottoman Turks 1t may
he that Russia, Great Britain, Austria
Hungary and Germany will use force
if necessary, to postpone the day when
some other flag than the Turkish cres-
cent shall wave over Constantinople
But if this temporizing policy shali
prevail in the international councils OF
Europe it is certain that nothing more
will be left to the Turks than inert
hollow shell of authority on the Eur
opean side of the Bosphorus ana
Dardanelles. The civilized world IS
well assured that the great bulk Of the
territory conquered by the victorious
Bulgars, Serbs, Greeks and Montene-
erins will henceforth belong to the peo-
ple who claim it by right of conquest
bv occupation from time immemorieI
and by the blood which they have
poured out in wrestling it from the
MosIem Asiatics whose misgovernment
has cursed and b1ighted the region OF
the Balkans for five centuries.
So another long step will be taken
toward that highest justice in inter-
national affairs which gives the world
to the inhabitants of its several di-
visions Little by little, empires ex-
banded far beyond the right of ten
antcy by conquering nations are des-
tined to fall to pieces and outlying
dependencies are fated to pass into
the possession of the races native to
the SOIL.
A wise Japanese statesman, after the
great victory of his country over Rus
STA, said that England was only a SO
journSr in India. He meant that Asia
would ultimately belong to and be held
by the Asiatics. In like manner Eur
ope, to the shores of the Bosphorus,
must become and remain European.
The Turk has been an alien and
discordant and demoralizing factor in
Europe and European international
policies for centuries, and the end OF
Turkish misrule in the continent where
the sultans have maintained them
selves by the sword and by playing
upon the jealousies of greater powers
cannot come too soon.

KANSAS COA4MENT
A GREAT RELIEF.


Now that the plaudits have been
passed to the victors and coincidence
to those who held the hollow sack,
the newspapers of the country find
more time to talk of cabbage and
kings and other commodities of in
terest to our complex civilization.
Which represents our notion of vast
improvement in journalism, a tenet we
shall teach if ever called to camp in
a college chair devoted to this fourth
estate. OF course the pastime of poll
tics is somewhat public, and news con-
corning the great issues didn't orators
say they Were?) of the day must be
dealt with as a matter of news. But
we're glad it is over, in which we feel
we have company a plenty. And for
this rejoicing there are regiments of
reasons. Not the least of these is the
unfairness of the written as well as
spoken word when people pen or pratt
tie of politics. Men who seem broad
minded in most matters can stoop to
Misrepresentation, villification and
other unpleasant stuff in politics, and
apparently console themselves with
the belief that the end warrants the
means, and that they are heroes in q
worthy cause. They are not; rather
they are tiresome and most uncon-
vincing. The reason scars somewhat
beyond our ken, but the fact remains
painfully palpable. Nothing nor no
one is ever so good or bad as painted
