the complete satisfaction OF the cam

empty and the grub gone, and dis

Scant Praise To The Good
Loser.

Maj. M. M. Beck thinks too much
credit is given to a good loser"
"A man. he says, "fghting for
principle should never be good
loser The men who tor years un-
successfully fought slavery in this
country, in Congress and on the ros-
trum. were not good losers They
suffered defeat after defeat and yet
always came back. The same may
be said Of the men and women who
have been fighting the liquor traffic.
Defeat has only made them more
Jealous and determined. General
Grant was not good loser At
Pittsburg Landing and in the battles
against Lee on the way to Richmond
reverses and seeming defeat only
nerved him for more determined ef-
forts. General Thomas would never
have won or deserved the cognomen
OF the Rock of Chickamauga if he had
been good loser. Colonel Ruose-
welt has none of the earmarks of a
good loser in the fight he has espous-
ed for equal opportunities and better
conditions for the common people OF
this land of the free. -
