POLITICAL G0ssIPs

When one class of people has any thing to say, it has become largely the custom to make political issue out of it instead of a friendly discus. sion, to prin, it in law book instead of a newspaper and to argue it be. fore jury instead of to settle it in the higher courts of Common Sense As a result, political agitators, polit ical lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness. in. tolerance and mysteries run rampant ln public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misun derstanding envelops public thought it breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understand. ing will choke to death.
 We have too many seif-appointed interpreters of industry who are in capable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories No busi ness can stand upon error and might rules-right or wrong No industry cen thrive upon misunderstanding for public opinion is more powerful than a Kings sword.
 When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates into the hands of the weak, for dema gogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife.
 The remedy lies in eliminating the mfddleman-the political gossip-and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talk ing 1t over with the people. Inter change of information between indus tries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public under stands. Away with political interpret CTS who summon evil spirits iron their prison cells and loose them to prey upon the welfare of the people in the name of My Country"

A Trip Worth While

were steered into the ONCE oil ne /
general manager. And there, in stilted
but heartfelt language, they told the
story of their loyalty to the Big Store.
The manager smiled at them and
said, "Pm sure ! am pleased to meet
you both and it is with a great deal
of pleasure that hear you speak with
pride of Harris & Hahn. We have al
ways endeavored to satisfy our Gus
toners and trust you will have a
pleasant visit in Chicago"
That was all No warm, friendly |
handclasps, nothing but a mere hand
shake, cold and clammy; no pleasant
chat; no inquiry as to crops; no dis
cussion as to weather conditions; no
cigar offered; no invitation to dinner
Pa Sims went from the office of the
general manager of Harris & Hahn a
sadder but wiser man, and Ma Sims |
was so disappointed and tired that she |
wept and wiped the tears away sur
reptitiously so that Pa would not see.
But the following day was even
worse, for in their first morning stroll
the family wallet was stolen by pick
pocket, and the head of the Sims fam
lily was left with but a dollar in
change between Chicago and Smith
VILE Ma was almost Frustrated at
the news, but kept going because she
felt as if she must offer suggestions
for help out of the difficulty. At
home, it was an easy matter to go |
into the staunch little bank and get
money, or step into the drug store and
get a check cashed, but in Chicago it
was entirely different. None of the

SO many of his hard-earned dollars,
and to the general managers office

The general manager looked little
startled at their request. Pa Sims
scorned the idea of actually borrow
ing money from the firm, but he
wished to be identified, that was all.
A very small matter.
1t was a rather trying moment for
the general manager, but he gave them
a friendlier smile, while he voiced his
refusal, than any that he had be-
slowed before

understand my predicament. Person

you. Very unfortunate, indeed, hav-
ing ones purse stolen. But it fire.

The wire for extra money got to
the Smithville children too late to get
into the bank, so the local merchant
loaned them the money, and Pa and
Ma Sims were saved.
The day they pulled into the Smith
vile station was the happiest moment
since they had left it, and the famil-
lar landmarks smiled greetings to
them along the way. 1t was indeed
proud moment when the editor of the
"Smithville Courier" came up to in

George III. and the Wigmakers.

When George III. assembled the
throne of England his wealthy sub
jects were beginning to leave off wigs
and to appear in their own hair, If
they had any. AS the sovereign was
himself one of the offenders, the Pc
ruke makers, who feared a serious loss
Of trade, prepared a petition in which
they prayed his majesty to be gra-
ciously pleased to "shave his head" for
the good of distressed workmen and
wear a wig. as his father mad done be-
fore him.
When the petitioners walked to the
royal palace, however, it was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves.
AS this seemed unfair to the onlook-
ers they seized several of the leading
professionals and cut their hair with
any implement that came most readily
to hand.
From this incident arose a host of
curious caricatures. The wooden leg
makers were said to have especial
claims on the kings consideration, in
asmuch as the conclusion Of peace had
deprived them Of profitable source Of
employment; hence the suggestion that
his majesty should mot only wear a
wooden leg himself, but enjoin the peo-
pie to follow his laudable example.
