The Arcadia News, always temper
ate and well-balanced, has the follow
ing pertinent observations, which it
would do many persons good to take
to heart: Zone of the great troubles
with the world today is that there are
not enough conservative people. The
world is made up largely of people
who are always right and the other
fellow always wrong After careful
observation of more than two score
years, we have become thoroughly
convinced that there are few times,
indeed, where all the virtue is on one
side of a proposition that may be pre-
scented. This applies in religion, poll.
tics and business, and hits you, and
you and yoH and hits many of you
mighty hard"
