What do you think of Mrs. X?" a
young lady friend asked me the other
day, and | replied that | considered
Mrs. X very nice woman. Isn't it
the ordinary thing to say of people
if you have no objection to them :?
But she wasn't satisfied.
No; but what do you think of her,
really?" she asked.
She is a young lady who can be
very serious at time, and now, when
| looked at her, | read something in
her eyes that told me she was ask
ing me serious question. She was
in earnest about Mrs. X. Her ques-
ton was one of those that suddenly
load one with responsibility as to
how one answers them.t They are
abominably disagreeable If you can't
say much in favor of the person in
quired about Fortunately, felt
none Of that embarrassment now.
Mrs. X is one of the best women,
and one OF the truest and wisest |

She gave big sigh of relief and
her face frightened. The little cloud
of anxiety had passed away from it.
Il am so glad" she cried. Il like
her myself and somehow-somehow
I thought she might be friend. One

he added. I'VE find out what fools

We are meant to care for somebody

Sympathy is necessity of our nature

Christie Murray once went to din
ner at the house of friend who had
wife extraordinarily skilled in con-
fectionery. The blot upon the din
ner was that she had paid so much
attention to the cakes that she had
forgotten the meat and potatoes. 1t
was not satisfactory meal tor per-
son with an appetite. 1t left, Murray
declared, "a yearning for something"
There are times when we lack actual
sincerity and honesty, and when the
mere jam of niceness won't do, "just
as we'll" In times Of stress we would,
as school boys say, "swop" good
many of our incest acquaintance for
one sincere friend-for one with
whom we can exchange condolences
and sympathy. Could not we help
them, and could not they help us?
For underneath the appearance of
mere niceness men and women are, as
Mark Twain remarked, queer things"
more real and better than they ap-
pear on the surface. Most people
would not for the world allow you
to suspect that they are half as
'roubled as they really are. or that
they are half as capable Of feeling for
others as they are.
Many are, with regard to the con.
cealment of their troubles much like

martyr to govt. and neither would
confess it. They reviled one another

FOR A WITNESS

The deadlock in the grand jury
appears to be no nearer nolution
Monday than 1t was when the In
vestigation of the strike situa-
ton began.
Throughout the entire morning
the probers balloted behind
closed doors, only to adjourn

of the investigation of the fatal
shooting at the east end of the

TO be the last resort In obtaining

eeENPTY
WORDS
BY THE EDITOR

VI My outstanding impression after faith
full reading of Candidate Hughes acceptance
speech is that he has delivered the compaign
cry Of empty words!'' over to his adver-
saries.
q In studied oratorical effort that re-
quires columns of small newspaper type to
record, he has produced not one forward
looking, constructive idea.
Q He has cited not one valid reason why
Woodrow Wilson should be displaced, nor
why Charles Evans Hughes should be sent
to the nations helm.
q His widely-heralded speech is purely
speech of destructive criticism. Its ablcst
and most convincing passage is his indict-
ment Of the presidents Mexican policy.
Even there he is the office seeking candi-
date rather than the statesman or the fair
minded judge, for he withhOlds praise for
Wilson's many undisputed achievements in
Mexican affairs, while bitterly attacking
him for his errors.
q Nor does Hughes tell the country what
HIS Mexican policy would be, nor give any
guarantee against his committing Mexican
mistakes quite as numerous and grievous as
Wilson has been guilty Of
q Emptier yet are his words on such sub
jects as labor, conservation, suffrage, the
Philippines and tariff. Balanced state
ments, all Of them, designed to conceal the
speakers meaning, rather than to elucidate
it! What are Hughes convictions on these
subjects? You must look elsewhere to learn,
the speech does not set them forth The
words are worse than empty, they are
weasel"
U The address will be a disappointment to
every progressive minded citizen. For it is
typical old-style harangue designed purely
to catch votes.
