PERHAPS we may have for
gotten that in the past we have experienced our 90
greatest pleasures, our keenest thrills Of JOY, 90

Pau1. in addressing the elders of Ephesus, 90
calling their attention to his repeated admonition 90
concerning their duty to assist the weak, quotes 90
for their benefit these words by One whom they 90
profr>~rd to- serve: LIT IS more blessed to give 90
imam ~ receive" 90
OlHionsly the Author Of the quotation had in oo
mind something vastly more potential than intrin- 90
sic value. The giving Of that which can be meas 90
ured only in financial terms is inconsequential %
compared with the giving Of those gifts whose 90
value no mathematician has yet been able to COM 90
putc. 90
The worth Of friendship-true friendship "a
has never been asccrtained. 1t is, in fact, be- 90
yond price, and when we get beyond the point of 90
measuring in coin or in yardsticks humanity has 90
yet to discover the unit Of value. *
1t would work a tremendous revolution in hui 90
man affairs if we would delight in giving pleasure 90
as we sometimes relish the giving Of pain; if, %

'If we noticed little pleasures, as we notice 90
little pains: 90

all our gains;
If we looked for peoples virtues, and their 90
faults refused to see, ~

Public sentiment is becoming a great factor 80
in governmental affairs, locally as we'll as ma 90
tionaIy. The same school board which recently 90
dismissed Mrs. Ella Flagg Young from the posi- ~
ton if superintendent OF the Chicago city schools 90
has restored her to the office. Nothing but the ir- 90
resistible demands of public opinion forced the %
board into a reversal Of ITSELF. Public opinion 80
also forced the telephone trust to alter its course 90
with regard to it's relations with it's small local 90
competitors and to %relinqulsh its hold upon the v
telegraph lines. Public sentiment has also viz 90
tualy affected the decisions of certain courts, if 90
We may believe what we see and hear. Perhaps 90
the recall of judicial decisions may be nearer than
some Of us are inclined to- think, and through a 90
system not especially suggested by Colonel Roose~ 90

Party ties were fairly well broken in the final 90
stage Of the currency measure. On the final vote 90
thirty-seven house republicans and twelve pro- 90
gressives voted for the bill. Among those so vot- ~
ing was Charles H. Burke of South Dakota. Mr.. 90
burke has long been regarded as a standpatter, 90
but his standpatism is Of that type which stands 90
Tor what Mr.. Burke cOncelves to be the proper 90
thing to do, regardless Of party or fractional 90
utilization. 90

The South Shore Republican, basing its OBJ ~
servation upon the number of libel suits pending 90
against newspapers, thinks that ''there are a lot 90
of valuable and easily damaged characters IN this ~
country And III further commenting upon the 90
truthfulness of newspapers, the same paper says 90
that 'Juries and newspapers often disagree up 90
on just what the truth is oo
