The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1919-12-18

On Friday night December ~, the
philamathea and Union literary so
cieties held their joint meeting for
the year. The Excelsior and Appa-
lachia societies were invited TO be
present. The program was very In
teresting and showed that the co.
cieties are making good progress.
A play entitled, "A Perplexing SIT
uation," was given by both the boys
and girls OF the two societies. The
"pe-plcviu~ situations" rrose no.
cause Of a statement made by q
gentleman 10 his wife and daugh-
ters that women could not possibly
refrain from talking and rashly Of
fered them SIS each n they would
not speak once during the day.
This was Immediately accepted.
When the servants wanted TO know
something and asked, the ladies re-
manned silent. The servants. think
ing that they had been stricken
dumb, spread the news over town.
When callers came. they were met
with mods and gestures. At six
O'Clock. the gentlemen permitted
the women 10 loosen their tongues.
The students are leaving for the
Christmas vacation now. They are
all glad 10 get a short vacation and
most Of them will return for the
winter term with renewed enthusi-
asm after the short respite from
their studies.
Miss Ella Reid was called home
suddenly by the death Of her grand
mother. We extend TO her our
deepcst sympathy.

WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE

Playing the game Of politics at the ex-
pense of the people is not only wrong in
theory, but in practice and opens the way
for political corruption that will result in
political death. Looking at it from any
angle the present session of the legislature
of the state of Washington has been play
ing the game Of politics darn sight more
than it has been legislating for the benefit
Of the people. Bills have been introduced
and fought over, not so much for the good
they would do the people, if passed, as for
the political prestige it would bring to the
supporters Of the measures. There are five
avowed candidates for governor in the legis-
lature and at least five more hoping guber-
material lightning will hit them before the
sine die adjournment. All of these guber-
material candidates have been doing political
stunts instead Of representing the people as
they should have and as a result it has been
political squabble every hour they have
been in session. It was nothing more nor
less than political polly woggin that de-
feated the Lamping bill. If Tholme had
been honest in his explanation he would
have asked the advocates of the bill to
consider the poll tax feature and thusly
afar Tholme fell into the hands of some
of the gubernatorial aspirants and appar-
emily he voted to please them instead Of in
the interest Of humanity. Let's hope that
not single member Of the legislature will
get peep at the gubernatorial bonnet and
that some man like Roland H. Hartley will
sweep the whole bunch from the political
arena.

HEART FAILURE

Today I sought the grocers' to buy an
artchoke; my soul was sad, my head was
sore, for I was nearly broke. Through four
long years of stress and strife I've seen the
prices rise the cost of things has spoiled
my life and I kept me heaving sighs. No
matter what I wished to buy. a penknife
pop, [ always heard the merchant cry
"'The prices have gone up" SO I was full
Of unshed tears, and I was grim and cross;
I wore Grape tassels on my ears, | felt
total loss. I bought my artichoke and
cried. "Iow much are yonder eggs?' A
lot Of hen fruit 7 described, displayed in
crates and kegs. The grocer glanced around
my way and seemed to wear frown, and
then methought heard him say, "'The price
of eggs is down. I said, "My ears are on
the blink or else I am insane: I'll have to
see the doc. I think-just make that spiel
agan.'' The grocer looked with dreamy
eyes upon the drowsy town, and said, be-
tween a brace Of sighs, '"The price Of eggs
is down. Oh, yes, I'm convalescent now;
I got this broken head. and this bic bruise
upon my brow, when I fell over dead

WORTH REMEMBERING

When you have said all you know do not
try to say any more lest you spoil what
you have meritoriousy said.
One without money has hard row to
hoe, but one without honor has hundred
times harder row to hoe
The more you talk the less you know and
who talks for the benefit of those about him
amuses instead of enlightens his hearers
1t matters not how cheap vegetables may
be Oh the market it is cheaper to grow them
than to buy them.
The man or woman who never gets out
