THE LITTLE THINGS.

If we go through the world being help
full and thoughtful, as any one
should,
We find a most curious feature-the
little things do worlds of good,
And we may leave gladness behind us
from small things we scarcely
recall,
But which have borne fruit and proven
the sweetest and best of all.
Have you never paused, going hunt
ing, and victory over self won
BY spending a precious five minutes in
letting a boy hold your gun?
Did you never comfort a mother of
years, whose eyes wet and red
Had gazed on that tragedy fearful
the sawdust her dolly had shed?
Have you never called stray puppy
some sad little beast, scared to
death,
And have it come crawling up to you
in sheer terror holding its breath
To find you are really friendly-nc
reason for terror and dread
A person who wanted to pet 1t when II
looked for whipping instead?
. The great works for good are impor
tant, but those who have hVe'
must recall
That happiness comes, unexpected
from things that seem foolish an
small;
And in the Great Record beyond u
some day may appear as OF wort
The entry of such little actions a
tend to bring joy upon earth.

What are you going to do about it !?
Placid hoping or inactive yearning
are bound to accomplish nothing at all.
If victory is to be won there must
be united force at work back of the
women who handle the fight at the
state capitol.
Success will come only when the
law makers are convinced that the de-
mand eminates from the entire body
of women and not from some clique or
faction.
Of course the abstract ethics of the
question remain unchanged by the
number favoring or opposing. But
the influence Of numbers is going to
be effective in this contest.
If you believe in the cause do some
thing at once. Don't wait to be called
upon. Write, talk, hold meetings, get
up petitions, send your demands to
the governor, to the members of the
legislature.
Agitate, that is the secret. Agitate
and never stop. When you resolve to
do that and do it victory is already
yours.

THE GROWLER

~ ROWLING is empty criticism.
The world is full of GROWERS.
They complain simply because
they have no conception of anything
better than the thing of which they
complain but must give some express
sion to their vacuity.
Growing doubtless has its place as
David Harum said of the f1eas: "They
keep the dog from brooding on being
dog"
The GROWER by contrast emphasizes
the good things of life and makes
reasonable men forget all that's
crooked and awry."
But at that the growler is worth
less piece of furniture.
Mankind has climbed up not by
needing the whine of the pessimist
but by listening to the laugh of the
optimist.
Darkness depresses. Daylight in
vigorates.
The growler is of the night, nightly.
Let him go his way, forgetting the
sun that shone last evening, that will
rise tomorrow morning.
He forgets that the worst never
happens and the best is still unborn.
In small cities the varying phases
of interest are limited. Life is lived
in city of 1000 exactly as it is in a
city of 100000. Men and women are
the same regardless of the surround
ing numbers.
Yet the GROWER does most damage
in small city. He stands out by con-
trast and is enlarged by the emptiness
of the background.
So that those who live in small cit
les must watch narrowly for the
growler and beat him back into his

hole whenever he sticks his nose out.
This is a duty you owe humanity,
your neighbor and yourself.
If it could be made a crime, this
growing, there might be some relief
possible. If the law can't touch it So
ciety should make the offence one OF
capital proportions and ostracise the
offender.
Don't growl. There are a lot OF
dogs in the world that have practically
nothing else to do.

THE GIFTS
BY LARRY HO.

One brought jewels from afar
That shone like Heavens whitest star;
One brought tapestries inwrought
With the old worlds richest thought;
One brought gold. and one brought books;
One brought flowers from ancient hooks;
One brought songs and one brought dreams
Plucked by lyric woods and streams.
And the gifts were pillared high
Shining for the kingly eye.
One there was before the throne
Stood in silence and alone,
Empty handed, sad of face,
Awkward in that royal place.
Spake the King-"Good friend, come near,
Join the throngs of joy and cheer"
Spake the man-"Oh, royal King,
Nothing in my hand / bring
From the crowd stand apart
l can only give my Heart"
When at last before his throne
Stood the mighty King alone,
Suddenly he turned his face
From the gifts about the place,
From the jewels, from the gold
From the piled up wealth untold;
All forgot the gorgeous line
Of givers clothed in raiment fine;
He remembered but one face,
Beautiful with humble grace;
81 am king indeed cried he,
Zone man gave his Love to me-

LOCAL MERCHANTS CHANCE

VIE OWaCOnna JOurHal III speak
ing of the new parcels post
and it's effects on the business
of local merchants, says that the ques-
ton which confronts every live bust
ness man is, will he give some study
and effort to devising means Of not
only meeting the new conditions but
turning them to his own advantage?
Will he be one of those incapable of
forcing themselves out of rut, or will
he be one who realizes that conditions
change and that he who adjusts him
self most rapidly and theoretically to
/ new conditions is the man who will
get ahead.
There is a chance now for the local
merchant to build up mail order
business for himself to take account
of that quirk in human nature which
seems to enjoy the excitement OF
sending away for something unseen.
1t means some trouble and effort for
the merchant, some study of the sit
uation, some experiments, some extra
work till the new business is organized
so that it will be taken care of as
smoothly as his present business.
In the first place the local merchant,
however good his reputation for
square dealing, has to make a new
reputation, that of being as square
with the correspondence customer as
with the one that comes into his
store. Good goods, up-to-date models
of what folks want, and at right prices
must be the foundation. Then not
less important, he must let those pos
sible correspondence customers know
what he has, and never let them for
get it. AS the country folk, learning
the hardness of the parcels post to
save them trips to town, depend more
and more and more upon it, the relia-
BILE merchant who constantly reminds
them that he is on earth, alive and
anxious for their business is the man
they will remember when they drop
that mail order into the rural route
carriers hands.
The new parcels post will stimulate.
advertising but it will kill off unre-
liable advertising. The reliable ad-
vertiser is the man who will get the
cream of the business and most of the
milk.
Meantime the man in the rut will
waste his energy complaining about
the parcels post, and the unreliable ad-
vertisers will cuss the newspapers;
but the new conditions are here to stay
and he who cannot accept and use
them will eventually be eliminated

LEGISLATURE IN ACTION

r LEGISLATIVE mills bgan today.
The grist is a mighty uncer-
tain product. Who shall say
what will come of the energy now at
work?
There are a good many able and
right minded men in the Minnesota
legislature. The question in dispute
is: Are the right minded ones in
control?
A review of the legislation enacted
at the close of the session next April
will find an answer to this query.
Certain things have been empha-
tically demanded by the people of the
state. These they want enacted into
laws and it will not fare we'll with
those legislators who refuse to read
the words writ large on the walls of
Fate.
For fifteen years the citizens of
this state have labored along under an
apportionment bill that was clearly
and grossly unconstitutional.
They want this burden dropped into
the deep waves. They will insist upon
having it so dropped or there will be
some desperate casting of vote in
1914.
The people want an initiative and
referendum law. They are asking
for chance to vote upon such con-
stitutional amendment. 1t should be
taken for granted that such an amend
ment will be submitted to the people
by the present legislature.
They want an economical admin
istration of the business of the state.
1t is commonly believed and apparent
ly there is some reason for the as
sumption, that the present system
is wasteful.
No one complains at paying legiti-
mate taxes but everyone must COM
plain at taxes squandered lavishly.
Is this the case? There are thous-
ands of voters who believe it is and it
is understood that Governor Eberhart
is DESTROYS of seeing a revision that
will expedite business and reduce the
cost of operation.
Woman's suffrage will demand a
hearing at this session.
Are the legislators to say arbitrar-
lily that the people shall not have an
opportunity of voting upon suffrage
amendment?
That does not look like a square
deal.
The representatives are elected to
represent the people. 1t is their bust
ness to vote in accordance with the
wishes of the majority of those who
elected them.
On this basis it seems likely that
the amendment for equal suffrage will
pass.
These are only few of the many
really important matters to come be-
fore this legislature. These things
the people want but above all they
want their representatives to be able
and honest.
They do not want to be bought and
sold.
They want to feel that their repre-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-01-07

sentatives are standing by their guns
and doing with what power in them
lies, what they can to forward these
desires and demands of the people.
Will the present session measure
this legislature up to the standard ?
