LISTEN

The wise man is a good listener.
Anybody can talk. 1t is only the very
few who know how to listen.
The good listener speaks only when
he has something to say. The talker
chatters whether he says anything or
not.
The clever listener is deservedly pop
ular. Most people take it as a compli.
ment that you should give heed to
them.
Moreover, the good listener gets a
reputation for wisdom. He is reserved
in his expression and every one thinks
IF he should express himself how wise
he must be-"
Besides
Contradictory as it may see, the
careful listener often is esteemed to
be a good conversationalist The volu
BILE talker is so appreciative Of the def
erence paid him that he goes away
saying, "It is really enjoyable to con
verse with Mr.. So and So"
Listen and learn.
When some one says something you
do not quite understand just keep still
dDu llSI0u. SOOueE OT Tue uucu'
speaker is apt to explain himself, and
you will lose nothing and perhaps gain
a friend.
Because
Your talker is likely to talk himself
into an admiration Of himself as sue
cessful talker and, filing himself ur
with admiration. what runs over is
spent in admiration of his appreciativt
auditor
Listen and enjoy.
There are so many things in life and
in nature and in men and women thai
you may enjoy If you are content t
keep still and hearken. Keep your eye:
open and your mouth shut and be en-
tertained.
Listen and smile.
If somebody gets mad and says NEAR
things or silly things. keep still. smile
and Just listen. The mad person or the
foolish person will soon get tired ant
quit.
Listen for the barmonies.
The world is full Of harmonies Il
your ear is properly attuned. The goot
listener turns his deaf ear to discords
He hears the harmony that is denied
the GLIB and the loquacious.
There Is a time to talk.
But mostly the time is to incline YOU
ear and listen.

The blow that broke the Ohio G.. O.
P. elephants back, came Saturday at
Columbus, when eight of the nineteen
members Of the Ohio Republican
state committee withdrew from the
organization when Gen. Robert B
Brown was selected to make the race
for governor in place of Judge Dillon
who recently resigned. The selection
of a standpat Taft machine boss was
too big a pill for them to swallow. AS
a result of the committee split a Pro
gressive state and national ticket will
be placed in the field.

The Rua Bible.

The bug Bible was printed in 1549
by the authority of Edward VI. and
its curiosity lies in the rendering OF
the fifth verse of the Ninety-6rst
Psalm, which. as we know. runs.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the ter
ror by night nor for the arrow which
fieth by day" but In the above YER
sion it ran. $50 thou shalt not nede to
be afraid Of any bugges by night"
Ludicrous as this Sounds. it Is not
ymologically without justification.

"bwg," which meant a hobgoblin or
terrifying specter. a Specification trace

No longer any need to drag through
life in the clutches Of rupture.
No earthly excuse for letting your
self keep on getting worse.
No big expense to stand in your way.
And you won't have to take a single
cents worth of risk.
Think of that, you who have spent
dollar after dollar without finding a
thing that has done any good.
Think of that,-you who have been
afraid that some day you'd have to risk
the dangers of operation-you who
dread the surgeons knife because you
know it results in permanent weakness
or death about as often as in recovery
In the last "a years probably more
ruptured people have been cured
WITHOUT operation than by all the
operations ever performed.
Cured without leaving home-with
out being in bed single day-withoul
losing a single hour from work.
Cured by the wonder-working Cluthe
Truss (Cluthe Automatic Massager)

that nearly all feel better and stronger

this truss.
For this is far MORE than a truss
far more than merely a device fol

PROGRESSIVE VETERANS

Veterans of the Civil war, men who,
in the late fifties and the sixties left
the standpat parties and joined the
new party then forming to do the work
the people wished ohave done, do not
find IT difficult at this time to part
from the standpat element of 1912.
These old men were independent in
their glorious youth. They not only
voted on conviction and severed old
party ties because of their beliefs, but
they fought the most terrific war of
history to uphold the principles that
based the new Republican party of the
sixties.
The Republican party organization
has come to be merely the agency for
putting through schemes of bosses on
behalf of selfish interests. Is it
strange that the independent Civil war
veteran, the Fremonter and the Lin
coin voter are prompt and ready to act,
even as they were in an earlier day?
These men have not changed. 1t is the
Republican party organization that has
changed. These old men still have
deep-seated convictions of right and
wrong. They are still independent.

sEvERIDGE-A NATIONAL ASSET

gates from other states seemed to re-
gard Beveridge not so much as of Ind
lana as of the nation. Men from Tex

seemed to regard Beveridge with quite
as much proprietary interest as did the
men of Beveridge's own state. One
Kentucky delegate was heard arguing
for Beveridge, as the vice presiden-

his good natured contention was that

Two MEETINGS..

WO meetings..
Saturday, two political meetings
were held in this city. A comparison
of the aims and purposes of those
gatherings furnishes food for thought.
At the court house the members of
the Wayne County Republican Central
Committee met. They filed into the
court room silently, and then
their chairman arose and in
grave, quiet tones, announced he had
determined to sever his connection
with a party which had lost it's ideals
and principles and which no longer
truly represented the people. After
rendering his resignation he left the
room.
Then arose the secretary and read
the designations of twenty odd men,
bers of the committee, and his own.
Following this simple but impressive
act the secretary and retiring members
silently filed from the room-a mute
but powerful protest against party
domination by corrupt politicians and
tariff barons.
AS the door closed behind the last
retiring committeeman the handful
who remained, hopelessly and without
ambition for the task left to their
hands, began discussion of ways and
means to recruit the party's depleted
ranks and the best stimulant to en-
ploy in keeping up the heart action of
the expiring G. o. P. elephant. The
Moses they chose to lead and advise
them with forced confidence remark
ed, ut has never been a disgrace to
be a Republican, and it is not now"
If his followers really believed this to
be the truth, they gave no evidence
of it.
In a room in the Masonic temple at
the same time the last sad rites were
being performed over a dead political
organization at the court house, there
was a political love feast in Progress.
In that room sat men filled with en-.
thusiasm over the cause of the every
day man and woman-a cause which
bears the title of Progressive party
and these men, representing the vari
GUS wards and townships of the coun,
ty, were zealously and joyfully dis
GUESSING final plans of organization
when and where mass meetings OF
citizens throughout the county would
be held for the purpose of electing
members of campaign committee
And the final pleasing spectacle this
meeting presented was the absence
of professional politicians. The mer
present were just ordinary farmers
business men, professional men, clerks
and mechanics, enlisted "for the war
in the cause of good government.
The meeting at the court house
marked the passing of the old politica
regime in Wayne county.

was the birth of a new political era.
