ONE-S|OED

BY some queer Quirk human nature
Is SO constituted mat a great man,
persons can see but one side Of a
question. The capitalist finds no mid,
ole ground between his position and
that OF the ardent labor advocate. The
prohibitionist believes the anti.prohi.
oitionist is either a drinker himself
or In the pay of the liquor traffic.
Inc peace propaganda holds out no
nope for the man who wants peace
through preparedness. The suffra.
gists thinks the anti-suffragist is
against all women. The small town
and the rural district are more in.
flexible In their opinions than the
larger cities. This is caused by the
comparative aloofness of the resident
Oh small towns from their neighbors.
Where people are thrown together
closely, al they are in the apartments
and flats of the larger cities, they are
more tolerant. They allow their
neighbors the right to do and think as
he pleases, and take the same privi-
leges to themselves. 1t has only
been In the last few years that a more
tolerant spirit is beginning to show
itself. We have been in the habit OF
forming opinions about the conduct OF
our lives, and then rushing to the
legislature TO get laws passed to com.
pei other people to live as we think
they should. This has had the in.
evitable result of bringing about a re.
action among those we would seek to
regulate, and we are learning, slowly
all too slowly, that our life is our
own to conduct, but that the lives OF
other people are theirs and the right
to live as they see fit is also their in.
alienable right. We are learning that
we spend too much time pelading with
the legislature, when we should be al
home teaching our children the diff
ference between right and wrong
Nothing can be gained for the
strengthening OF character by force OF
law. In education alone can we reach
the n We desire. The exercise OF
the power of resistance and the con,
slant overcoming of obstacles go 10
form character and the upbuidling OF
spiritual force and better citizenship.
~Self-control is the supreme test of the
individual. Neither history nor philo,
sophy support the belief that char.
acter is formed by prohibitive laws.
