THE MAN WHO TALKS

/ should know that the spirit of Free
dom surges up from below, and that
| it is this very spirit which has been
| telling for the advancement of the
masses for the past two hundred years
or more; and the twentieth century is
| indebted to IL for all it contains of
| splendid manhood and great endeav-
or. The restlessness of the people Is
q menace to no one but those who are
refusing to recognize the just demands
of the masses. Any other condition
would make the masses easy victims
| of those who would from self1shness
and love of power Cypress them. Men
are becoming more and more jealous
of their rights, and more and more
eager for larger opportunities and lib
critics: and there is no doubt they are
going to win them.
There is quite a difference between
governing children and teaching them
how to govern themselves. Authori
ty usually represents restraint, while
self-reliance is the source of inspira-
ton. 1t has to be admitted we can
instruct children how to live easier
| than we can teach them how TO think;
but is our aim for the uplift of the
mind to the neglect of the upbuilding
of the body, a correct way to mental
supremacy, since a healthy body is a
true assurance of healthy mind?
| The value of morad character is not
impressed upon the child mind halt
persistently enough, and children grow
to youth and often to manhood with
out a true estimate of the worth OF
cleanliness honesty, courage and truth
How many ages think you, were we
teaching the children the wonders OF
the world and leaving them ignorant
of the history of their own town and
state? How long are we going on
teaching them nothing of the princi-
pies Of free government and expect
No to To co citizens of than
| There is occasion TO sm>-c were this
not a serious matter. When we give
| the masses the grip on life tnat be-
! longs to them, they will reach the
standard in life expected of them.
Although it is popularity supposed
marriage makes the parties to it one,
| there is no one so simple that they
| do not observe that it takes two in
| dividuals to conduct q family that the
/ sO-calied oneness remains undevel-
/ 0ped, except in the economic interests
which require unity of action and en-
| deaVOr. Neither their tastes nor the
abilities of the two are alike and there
/ appears to be no reason why they
! should be. That their joint welfare
! responsibility and success in life is not
! surprising; and yet, the failure to
| recognize the Importance of this one
! ness of interest is the cause of what
| are regarded as average results in life.
! The love which leads to the union Of
some welded couples represents a di-
vine unity, or oneness, which counts
for peace and happiness and pros
perity. It cannot be denied, in these
days too many marriages are matters
| is why the divorce courts find so much
business and grass widows are in
creaSfng from age to age.
Have you ever thought a policeman's
club is relic Of barbarism which has
come down to us from the days when
might made right. A club never was
a symbol of power. because it stands
for nothing but brutality. Did you
ever seriously look over a police force
If you have You were not impressed
that they were men selected to whip
the bad men of the town They are
/ supposed to represent the majesty of
the law and the power of the state,
things which are sufficient to make
most bad men pause and surrender.
! The club appears to be of little use,
ordinarily, in preserving order, which
| makes up the larger part of police
man s duty. There is no reason under
heavens why a policeman should not
be a gentleman, and there is no end to
reasons why he should be one. The
| had men make a policeman's calling
perilous and this is why he should be

policeman should always keep cool and
| be possessed of good judgement. The
manner of a policeman has more to
do with efficiency as a policeman, than
does the club he carries.
Did you ever think if all prayers
were answered all business in this
| world would be knocked out. 1t would
be quite difficult to get rain enough to
grow crops or people enough to work
to run the industries. Too many people
pray for money, ease and pleasure, and
too few for rain: and if answered God s
wise and orderly system would be put
completely out of joint. There are q
great many people who envy
the inhabitants of the lands their
backs in the sun and letting
bread fruit drop into their mouths
1t is not generally known thai
in climates where nature meets all the
simple wants of man the inhabitants
are the most degraded Of races. Il
there is one curse worse than idleness
we have not yet been able to find il
out. 1t is the perilS of life and I'M
toward conditions which compel mer
to hustle which make them self-re-
| liant and resourceful, These dreams
of an elegant leisure are of no more
account than a nightmare. The pray.

answered, and it is well for all of US
that the prayers of others are not.
, 1t is not half as difficult to get
bank account as many average wage
earners imagine. The person who does
not see the way clear to get banl
account does not know the saving O.
six cents a day will amount to SIS {

and in ten years it would amount tt
: $3.50, which with interest at four pc

you may not be able to make it
present of any value when it reaches
the age of 81; but if you put dolla

interest added by the bank at it's 21s
