Nearly two months ago, DR.. John

Iconditions in Mexico.
y He had just returned from that coun-

q He said that unless the United States
withdrew its troops in the near future,
war with Carranza was inevitable.

That this was a pre-arranged plan to
bring Americans into Mexico there Is
much reason to suppose.
That il was known 10 American capt.

Say 1t To His Face
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

II is a mighty good rule to say of any
man behind his back only what you
would say to his face.
Most of the exaggerated abuse, the un-
just criticism, and the hostile denuncia-
ton in this world is due to the fact
that the victim is not present.
The trouble with undertaking is that
the muckraker is talking to a third
party, the public, while the party of the
second part, the accused, is out of hear
ing.
| always have felt an uneasy feeling
when reading diatribeS against Rockefel-
Ter Carnegie, ct al; not that these gen.
temen need my sympathy and are not
amply fortified by fortune against the
whips of the envious, but that instinct
lively rebel on principle against hanging
any man unless he is among those pres
emit
There may be times when you are
convinced that Jones needs his face
slapped and Smith ought to be kicked,
and perhaps these punishments ought of
right to be inflicted, but it is good plan
to wait until Jones and Smith are there.
Preachers and lecturers say things of
worldlingS they would not think of say
ing to the face of any given sinner.
Newspapers sometimes abuse their great
power by attacking those who cannot
reply.
We would save a deal of wrong in this
world If we would simply be just.
And we would avoid a deal of injus-
tice if we would keep always in mind
that every man may have some justif-
cation for his acts, and ought to be al
lowed to state it before he is condemned.
Sharp and bitter words, Favored with
scandal. have terrific carrying quality.
They are easily remembered. They are
willingly repeated. Escaped from your
lips or pen they fly To the ends of the
earth. You cannot control them any
more than you can recapture the spent
stcnches Of glue factory. So be care
ful how you utter them.
Besides, the fatal facility for saying
hateful things grows on one. The cursor
is always interesting, no matter how we
loathe him. He gets ready audience.
And it is not long until he is the best
hated man in the community.
When you are prompted to say any,
thing unpleasant about anybody, stop,
look, listen" Ask yourself if it is ex-
actly the thing you would want to say
to his face.
You might ask yourself also if it is
any of your business. And if you are the
proper Judge of his actions. Also if you
really understand what you condemn,
and if you know all about the circum-
stances.
1t costs nothing to hold your tongue.
And sometimes it is the most excellent
thing you can do.
If you must say 1t, say it to his face.
