New York, Oct. 15.-Goyernor
Wilson possesses the qualities es-
'sential for a great progressive pres

forward; he is able and firm and
sound of judgment He is patient
and open minded. He is thoroughly
democratic in spirit. He recognizes
that all of the people are entitled
to equal opportunities; and he ap-
preciates that the development OF
all OF the people is essential to
the fulfillment of our American
ideals. He understands the dangers
incident to the control by few
men of our industries and OF our

Son, when you become engaged
to a girl, little do you think that
she is making mental notes of the
traits in you that she will reform.
A rumor is simply a lie that can't
be headed off, half the time.
A woman never hears what the
preacher says when he asks the
blessing at her home. She is keep
ing an eye on the children and
wondering IL the biscuits will burn
on the bottom.
If you were to tell the truth as
you see it for one day you would
not be out of the hospital for a
month.
Son, don't let It scare you when
people critibise what you do. Nine
times out of ten they are mad be-
cause you did it before they thought
OF it.
A fat man is always telling how
he reduced himself ten pounds.
When a man losses about and
cannot sleep his wife says his con-
science is bothering him; when she
canont sleep she blames it on house
hold worries.
A woman credits many good
guess to her intuition" just as o
aan lays Il 10 lis foresight
Napoleon made many q mistake
but he never made excuses for them,
and 50 they are not in The histories.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1912-10-25

II a gossip knew what other COS
sips say about the way she gossips,
she would stop it.
One of the funniest things in the
world is woman with four switches
roasting a man for wearing a wig.
Every once in awhile some one
becomes famous by discovering that
honesty is the best policy.
You never make fool of your
self except when you have an
audience.
You will never be success until
you learn to quit blaming other
folks for your own mistakes.
Until after girl is married she
positively refuses to eat corn on the
cob when there is company.
The chaperon watches the girl,
but who watches the chaperon?
A mans family refers to his force
of character; his neighbors call it
mulish stubbornness.
Son, don't bank too much on that
fable of the hare and the tortoise
Probably the tortoise had friend
in the judges stand.
Few men can act dignified with
out assuming the facial expression
or O secondhand milo-post.
Don't be crouch, son. a
crouch makes no one bit himself
unhappy: he makes every one else
uncomfortable
