You may call II confession on
my part II YOU choose: you may
critlelsc me for having made a mis-.
take in seattIo's last city election. II

ono OF uH can cncnpc having our
confidence betrayed at some time In
our life. We also must expect az
some time to have our earnest ef.
forts rewarded with lngraiitude and
flagrant. foxy cunning. and yet the
other fellow II not always reapon.
nlble.
There arc three distinct types Of
reasoning minds. one type reasons
at cross purposes on all things ex.
oept its selfish purpose. II acts like
two long links OF chain which,
when loose. vaeillatc in all directions
without honest purpose or conscious
| oonvacuon, but when selfish pur.
posc IL to b acted upon the links
Htraishten into position and pull
with force. This type Of mind will
make an assertion today and deny IL

!; tomorrow. a promise today and
deny u tomorrow. IL IL the Machla.
velllan mind OF medieval times
which. because OF social position and
power of public office. prornulgates
tho principle that a prince In no,
duty bound 10 keep his promise un
lcas no can do NO with profit 10 him
self. This type OF mind Is void Of
principle like tho fox. Like msr
curry. II seeks it's level along the
lines Of least resistance. and when
hard pressed. It bursts into many
rolling particles. but when reunited.
one would think tho blamed thing
had never burstcd. but all the while
IL has been gathering and incorporat.
ing other substances into itself
which may befoul 81.
The second typo reasons In n circle
and bases its conclusions on the
self satisfied assurance that II is
right. because it's right. like the 1T.
tic girl who told the teacher that she
had decided on her own authority
that she was the smartcst girl in
school.
The third type reasons from
cause 20 effect. and bases con
illusions upon principles OF sub.
stance. without regard to form. by
reconciling and proving the result by
the principle or right reason and ea.
tabiished ethics.
