| anger; and it is his glory to pass over a
| transgression- Proverbs XIX IL.
This is another of the many truisms
| uttered by Solomon that is well worthy
of analysis and little thought on the
part of every one Much of the anger
to which we humans give vent is as
unreasonable and uncalled for as it is
| disagreea5Ie and disturbing. Nine
tenths of it, or even a larger proper
ton, could be avoided easily if only a
little discretion were used. The great
handicap to its use. it must be con-
fessed, is the fact that anger is apt
to be rather spontaneous. 1t flares up
with the briskness of the little sulphur
match that is properly struck. Nor
does it take much CT a blow or a scratch
to set it off in most people.
However, a diligent effort to be slow
to anger is certain to achieve the most
desirable results. And the individual
who is slow to anger travels a path
way through life that is refulgent with
sunshine aid lined with roses, in COM
parison with the road that is open to
his rash and needless brethren. to his
friends and neighbors who are quick
to let their angry passions rise. The
things that are said and done in a fit
of anger are generally ridiculous. Of
ten they are heartlessly cruel. There is
10 need to give examples. Everybody
knows the remarks he has made ana
the acts he has committed when he his s
become needlessly angry. The memory
of them is not pleasant, to be sure.
They are veritable canker-sores. Vain,
indeed, are the regrets over some Of
them. It is frequently impossible to
make amends. They have destroyed the
happiness of many hearth. They have
rent families in twain. They have put
brother against brother.
That there is need, therefore, for ev-
cry one to be discreet before letting
loose the flood gates of his anger, is
apparent to every body, or it should be. |
AS is suggested in the words, quoted !
above, most of the anger to which a |
man is prone, is due to what he con-
siders to be transgressions against any |
of his many and varied rights. There |
are real transgressions of this sort; |
many of them. Some are serious. But
many more of them are trifiing, and not
a few are imaginary. The man who
tries to be just, though, will try to cv-
eEIOOk them, even the more serious
ones that are real and not fancied. And
if he tries to overlook them he will
succeed. AS Solomon says, it is a glory
to pass over a transgression. If any
body doubts this, let him try it once.
Nor does it take much of an effort.
AS a matter of fact it is merely being
one to the other. 1t is ex-
tending that charity to a transgressOr,
real or imagined, which a man would
ike to have extended to himself under
ike circumstances. And let every man
remember his own transgressions of
every day before he shows wrath at
the transgressions of others. Let him
also remember that he can expect nc
more consideration in this respect, as
N all others, than he is willing to give.
Nor is he entitled to it.

ADVERTISING TALKS
By WILLIAM C. FREEMAN

How can merchant tailors in any com
munity advertise and make the advertis-
ing pay?
I should say that If ali the merchant
tailors in all communities combined AMI
agreed to spend enough money in enough
newspapers to make a good impression
on the reading public, their advertising
could be made to pay.
Suppose in one small community, like
Albany, New York. there are ten mer-
chant tailors and they combined in an ad-
vertising campaign.
They could use a quarter page Of space.
which, would not cost them more than
$50 a week If used in each Of the Albany
papers once week. so the advertising
would only cost each one $15 a week.
They should combine in a general talk
ABOUT merchant tailoring in each adver-
usement and all should attach their
names and addresses and telephone num-
bers to the advertisement.
This plan was tried out in Chicago,
rather successfully, even though some of
the merchant tailors who went into the
combination did not do as they agreed.
There is no use undertaking anything
anywhere unless all of the parties to an
agreement make good.
The average merchant tailor does not
believe in newspaper advertising. He is
like the lawyer, dentist, engineer, doctor
etc. who believes that the only way u
advertise is to get his friends to do It for
him.
But some merchant teilors do advertise.
and know OF only two failures I'm nearly
q years of advertising work All OF tho
rest have been successful.
All should advertise because their bust
ness is slipping from under their feet.
The ready-to-wear manufactures built up
his business principally through advertIs-
people know that he made
good clothing.
Thousands of men will buy clothes
made to order il merchant tailors will In
vite them. through advertising. to look
at their styles and If, also, they will make
the clothes fit.

GOOD MONEY ..sPOTT.rDn


Much good money. earned by the sweat

IN the hands of some young man who has
NOT qualified to handle money. There is
certain sacredness to money earned by
a Iather through the early years OF his

handing IT over to some son who has not
SHOWN ablllty IN holding to money OF his
own Of course the number of fathers
VINO pack their sons is comparat vely
snall but in many cases the son does not
aoo 10 the nest egg but loses the whole
wad- Not until young man has demon
s1rated his ability to manage and add TO
what ne has been able to accumulate
hlmsef, should he be trusted with the
money earned by some one else. When a
son Is able to borrow fair sum OF
money at the bank on his own recog-
Hlzance, then the fond papa is warranted
IN stepping In and sailing whatever en-
Isrprlse the son is engaged in. Look

AT the request of James A. Metcalf, edi.
tor OF the Dawson County Review, we pub
ish this week the call for a Progressive
State Convention. While the Searchlieht
editor is not satisfied with the way in which
President Taft obtained his nomination for
reelection in Chicago. nor with the way
the county committee selected delegates to
the State Convention in Montana, still we
think that the differences between the two
factions OF the Republican party can best
be fought out within the party. The Re
publican party has always been a progress
sive party. from the time of Abraham Lin
coin until the present. While the Pro-
gressive element of the party were not tri-
umphant at Chicago. the standpat victory
was only temporary and we believe that
the progressive element Of the Republican
party will be victorious in the end. We
are still Republicans and we believe that
the basic principles of the Republican par
ty are right. The only thing for the Re-
publican voters in Valley County and the
State OF Montana to do is to see that pro.
gressive Republicans are nominated and
elected to county and state Offices and stand
by the party principles on National issues.

The potatoe crop IN eastern Val
ley county tins year will be a big
one. All the farmers are Dragging
about their gardens and especially
about potatoes, the estimated crop
being from $50 to $50 bushels to
the acre. New potatoes have been
on the market from local fields for
a week or more and they are of a
very excellent variety. The hay
crop is also an immense one, but
is being retarded and damaged
some by the frequent rams during
the hay harvest. Hay and potatoes
will be cheap locally this winter,
as they are more effected by local
conditions than other crops. Po-
tatoes are still selling at 4 cents
pound, but from now on they will
drop rapidly in price until frost
comes when they will reach their
lowest prices for the season. The
local crop will undoubtedly be suf-
ficient for the local markets and
there will probably be a surplus
for shipping to other points.
