ENEMIES AS AN ASSET.
Without Them Nobody Ever Accom-
plishes Anything.

Without Them Nobody Ever Accom-
plishes Anything.
No man can accomplish any great
thing without making enemies. 1t is
said a man may be known by the enc
mics he makes" Observe the kind Of
enemies one makes and their reasons
for enmity. The man who makes no
enemies is comparatively worthless.
The Bible says, "Woe unto you when
all men shall speak well Of YOU"
1t is not necessary to court enemies,
but If you encounter hostility In the
course Of pursuing your way honestly
and with your best Judgment do not
allow it to disturb you. He who has
no enemies is not likely to have real
friends. If you would measure mans
worth, observe his enemies. OF what
character are they? What are their
reasons for being at enmity? While
the wise man should be undaunted by
his enemy, neither should he be I'M
mindful of him. Reconcile your enemy,
if possible, but never fawn on him or
cringe to him, in the hope Of making
him a friend. This win win his con-
tempt.
1t is wise to look out for the enemy
who poses as a friend. He will stab
you In the back If he can or strike In
the dark.-Milwaukee Journal

This work is profession and the
movement is growing by leaps and
bounds throughout the nation. Ii
we could have had our directors, or
better still our entire club member
ship, present to hear the three-day
program, it would have been worth
a great deal to Washburn. Our peo-
pie would then have fully sensed
the magnitude of the work, its
broad scope, the seriousness OF the
secretaries and would have gained
an impression of how from Maine to
Florida, from New York to Denver
and Boston to San Francisco, the
taxpayers, business and professional
men and manufacturers, in cities
large and small, are graphing with
commercial club work, and how they
regard it as paramount in the sue
cessful growth of these communities.

Ya Bad Roxea In Church.

In Salem in 1916 it was ordered by
the town that "all We boyes of We
towne are appointed to slit upon three
paire of stairs in We meeting house, and
william Lord is appointed to look aft
er We boyes upon We pulpit stairs" In
Stratford the tithing man was ordered
to watch over youths of disorderly
carriage and see they behave them
selves comelie and use such raps and
blows as is in his discretion meet" In
Durham any misbehaving boy was pun
ished publicly after the service was
over. We would nowadays scarcely
seat twenty or thirty active boys to-
gether In church If we wished them
to be models Of attention and dignified
behavior, but after the boys seats
were removed from the pulpit stairs
they were all turned in together in a
..boys' pew" In the gallery.

The chief burden of all the papers
and addresses and discussions was
How to arouse the members OF
club to- more and better support OF
the movement. Many secretaries
reported that their memberships
were already aroused and doing their
duty. Others reported lethargy,
beyond the necessary payment of
dues and secretary's expenses. 1t was
agreed upon all hands, that merely
keeping salaried secretary was not
all that was required. But the up
shot of all reports was that towns
and cities are doing better each year,
and not one reported that any club
was willing to abandon the move
ment anywhere. Committee work
came in for much discussion, and it
was agreed that the work Of the
committees was most important. 1t
would be impossible to bring home
to our own people, all the good of
that national convention.

Special Club Meeting Friday Night.

1t was inspiring to mingle with
800 other commercial organization
secretaries in the annual convention
of the National Association of Com
mercial Organization Secretaries,
which was held last week in the Con-
gress Hotel, Chicago. Inspiring
and instructive, for there were able
men there from all the leading large
cities and many of the smalles cities
and towns from nearly every state in
the union. AS usual, we took the
name of Washburn and nailed it
high, among these men, so that at
least we were among those also
present" These secretaries had q
set program, crowded with impor-
tant themes about our work and pro-
blems. handled by some of the best
known names in the profession. There
was smoker one night and formal
banquet another Il some play with
the work, addresses by noted men in
the government work and Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.

The Washburn Loyalty League

The Washburn Loyalty League
started something when it forwarded
a telegram to the President OF the
Senate of the United States asking
the impeachment of Senator Robert
M. LaFollette on the ground OF dis
loyal utterances. The name OF Wash
burn has spread far and wide within
a week and there is not reader OF a
daily papar in the United States that
has not heard of this city, and knows
that it has loyal bunch of citizens.
Since the sending of the telegram
several other cities have joined in
the movement and the Senate Presi-
dent is being flooded with kilograms
asking the removal of LaFOllette
from the Senate. The petition OF
the Washburn Loyalty league was
presented to the Senate with a
petition from the Minnesota Loyalty
league asking LaFollette's removal.
LsFolIette is beginning to learn
that the people of the United States
will not stand for his disloyal re-
marks and that the people of his
home state are among the first to
condemn him. There was time when
LaFollette was considered big man
i'm Wisconsin but his recent actions
i'm Congress and his utterances in his
public addresses have put him way
down in the estimation of those who
were his most loyal supporters.

A Eaatharhad Beauty.

The quezal Of Guatemala Is consider
ed the most beautiful bird In the world.
It's plumage vies with the rainbow and
shines with metallic luster. Until
within the last few years it was un-
known to science, mainly owing to the
fact that 1t is hermit among the feath-
cred creatures, delighting in the silence
Of high attitudes. 1t .dwells on noun
tain heights above 1000 feet in eleva-
ton. The Quezal was the royal bird Of
the Aztecs, and its plumes were used to
decorate the headdresses and cloaks
of the kings of that land. It's breast Is
a brilliant scarlet, while its green tail
attains length Of three feet. 1t Is
about the size of the common pigeon
1t nests in holes in rotten trees, which

Washburn has recently received
more publicity, in which the secre-
tary had no small part, than any city
in the United States, being the first
city to register its protest against
Wisconsin being misrepresented in
the senate by a man like LaFollette,
when this nation is pouring men and
millions out to make the seas safe for
our ships and the world safe for
democracy. These resolutions sent
out from Washburn were read by the
vice president of the United States
before the senate of the United
States, on last Saturday as coming
from "Washburn, Wisconsin.

Curious Form OF Punishment of the
Days of Long Ago.
We do not nowadays exhibit Gagged
offenders to the gaze of curious pub
lie, but such form OF punishment was
at one time more or less common.
When the three great Anabaptist lead
ers were executed in Prussia, in 1886,
they were exposed to the public gaze
In iron cages hung on the walls of the
church of st. Lambert, in Munster-am-
Stein.
Catherine II. of Russia had her wig
dresser confined to q cage because the
bigwigs at court complained that the
tonsorial gentleman had big ears, and
Edward /. of England caused the Coun-
tess Of Buchan and the sister of Robert
Bruce to be locked up in two large iron
cages, which were hung on to the tur-
ret of the castle of Berwick, in 1906.
Alexander the Great had Calisthenes,
the Greek philosopher, kept for seven
months in an iron cage because the lat
ter denied Alexander's divine right to
rule, and for eleven long years the
French Cardinal Balue had a unique
opportunity of studying at first hand
what it feels like to be a captive canary,
for Louis XII. ordered him to be iInpris-
oned in an iron cage at Loches, on the
River Indro, for just that pez1od.
And coming down to more recent
times, there was the buge iron cage,
mounted on wheels, which the Beers
had constructed for the late Cecil
Rhodes during the South African war,
but which Lord French robbed Of it's
intended occupant by turning up SO
suddenly at Kimberley.-London An
