DO UNTO OTHERS

l'rined, have you ever asked your
self the question: "Is my neighbor-
hood any the better for my pres
ence in it, Has your community
life been such that were you to re-
move to some other locality you
would be really missed, and missed
with regret9
We believe that many OF Us who
consider ourselves good citizens and
good neighbors, if we we're to ser
iously consider this question, would
be somewhat puzzled p find the
correct answer.
We all know pepole O. our com
munity of whom it were idle to ask
this question We kmw beyond
question that they are real asset
to any community thf ths so fortu-
nate as to claim hem. Let us,
then in the light of their, lives,
truthfully and ifpartially judge
our own lives, and let us profit by
that Judgment,
All Of us know that good angel
of the neighbour ood. Frequently
she is frail litt mite of woman
kind, quiet and hnassuming, with
the most humble ppreciation of her
own virtues. Ye5whenever sickness
or sorrow develo in the countryside
we instinctively box to find her in
attendance, reaE to efface herself
in her ministrabns to others; Civ
ing of the fait of her own large
heart to susta the failing cour-
age of those itneed.
And who Ies not know the
handy man ofIhe community? He
is always bus yet never so busy
that he canndgrant a favor to a
neighbor. He the man who, when
he starts to tdn, is hailed by every
housewife on Is route and loaded
down with emissions and orders
to be filed, htil frequently when
returning hob his neighbors get
most of his bad. He is also the
man you SENIOR if you have a sick |
horse or cowif your crops do not
turn out toFuit you, YOU consult
him. You ca n him, if a subscrip-
tion> is to bcirculated land he is
always rea{ to not only chip in,
but he chedllly takes the paper
from house house and from man
to man untthe object is attained. I
In fact, WI we contemplate the
number of Ehankye" jobs he gets
through WI in the run of year
we often Nder how on earth he
has found he to attend to his own
affairs. 3 he has, and he has at
tended to em well.
/ The try is that we all waste
many val PIE hours and days that
might be be given to these kind
ly minisfons to othres' comfort
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-12-19

The trJ is that we all waste

THOMAS RILEY MARSHALL.

Chairman Glynn called the convention

James was escorted to the chair and
introduced. He Immediately launched
into his address. He lauded the presi-
dent and defended his policies, partic-
ularly in regard to the controversy
with Germany over the submarine
warfare and our relations with
Mexico. An enthusiastic demOnStra-
ton greeted his praise of President
Wilson, which lasted more than twenty
minutes. At the close of Chairman
James speech the convention took a
recess until nine o'clock in the eve
ming.

Sey mounts the speakers stand, and,
waving cane, proposes three cheers
for Wilson. They are lost in the gen

been under way for 20 minutes.
Stir over Suffrage colors.
At II 20 p. m., 81 minutes after the
demonstration had started, yellow
suffrage umbrella was hoisted over the
head Of Congressman Hef1in of Ala
bama who was still holding the gavel
temporarily. This served to rouse
the enthusiasm.
Two Nebraska delegates leaped into
The middle of the New York delegation,
sitting tight in its chairs, and urged
Murphy and the Tammany braves to
get happy. Former Governor Glynn
and a few others got on their chairs.
Murphy didn't move a muscle.
A handsome woman in full evening
dress waved the South Carolina flag
from the speakers stand, while the
band played "Dixie."
The band quit playing at II 80. Two
minutes afterward it starts all over
again and then Chairman James be-
gins to pound for order. The demon
stration has lasted As minutes.
After couple of brief seconding
speeches, the nomination of Mr.. Will
son was rushed through.
Glynn Is the Keynoter.
In hall gay with flags and bunting
and with pictures of party leaders,
past and present, looking down upon
them from medallions around the bal
cony, the delegates to the Democratic
national convention assembled on
scheduled time Wednesday. The pro-
ceedings were formally started when
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
national committee, ascended the plat
form and raped for order. He incited
the first burst of enthusiasm of the
convention when, in short address in
Producing the temporary chairman, he
predicted victory for the party in the

The keynote speech was delivered
by former Gov. Martin H. Glynn of
New York, the temporary chairman.
He was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause when some point in his speech
stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy of President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration of
the day. Following Governor Glynn's
speech, committees on credentials, per-
manent organization, rules, and resolu-
tiOns were announced, and that days
work was done.
