"GOodw said /. I
My friend is a college graduate, Z
professional man and student. And,
above all else, he is given to frank
ness.
We agreed, he and l, that in our
opinion lot OF Shakespeare's stuff
was bombastic, some of it silly, and
that while many of his utterances
were sublime and he was a matchleSs
user Of words, some Of his plays were
padded, and he wrote much vapid
trash.
Why be hypocritical?s
Why put Shakespeare's poorest on d
plane with the highest in literature

friend that Hugo often nodded and
Tolstoy wandered.
The truth is
Because certain authors have been
put up as eXamplars in writing many.
persons who cannot bring themselves
to an appreciation of these authors are
much given to lying about their prefer
ences.
And there's music.
There are those who will attend the
recital Of a severely classical program
and without understanding the music
will feign the utmost admiration and
personally compliment the artists.
Or art.
You have seen some who will go into
ecstasies of encomium over a picture
or statue, concerning which they
have little real appreciation, merely
because somebody has pronounced
the work to be masterpiece.
Or oratory.
1t is easy to get the applause Of the
multitude for some sapient spouter OF
platitudes who somehow has gained
the hallmark of popular favor.
Let us be honest.
Do not misunderstood me. There
must be standards, and we should al
ways strive for the best, but
Why should one simulate an enthu-
siasm he does not feel?
Are not honesty and sincerity OF
more worth than sham reputation
for excellence in matters Of taste2

FAVOR FRANCHISE.
Voters Decide for Proposition of
Fergus Company.

The proposition of whether or not
the council should grant a 2O-year
franchise to the Otter Tail Power
Co. was voted on by the citizens of
Morris yesterday and carried by
vote of III for granting the franchise
and 16 against granting the franchise.
The election was quiet one. as
there was no pronounced difference of
opinion on it, and little or no work
was done to get out the voters in or
der that the proposition might be
either voted up or voted dwon.
The popular vote was taken to as
certain the state of public opinion on
the subject, and the election itself
was not necessary from legal stand
point.
The legal steps necessary to carry
out the expressed wish of the voters
will now be taken by the council,
and it will also be necessary to the
council to arrange the details Of the
franchise and the details of the city
lighting contract for FIVE years.
The proposition was thoroly dis
cussed at meeting of the Improve
ment Union held at the court house
on Wednesday evening. The main
question in which most of those who
attended were interested was how the
new rates would affect their electric
light bill. Accordingly MIR. Kidder,
representing the company, was asked
to compute many bills. which he did,
showing that the new rates affect
lights bills as indicated in The Tri-
bune last week. r. j. Hughes.
editor of the Wahpeton Globe-G Gazette.
was also present and spoke of the very
satisfactory service which this COM
panY was rendering in Wabpeton.

good for getting prize, unless ones
