Too Narrow Minded.
eve are too narrow minded in this
country. ] heard a Kansas man kick
ing about the government / told him
Kansas was all right as a state, but
il would be poor as a nation. for il
hasn't any place for a navy and how
could IL spend its money! We must
quit thinking in counties and think
in continents. using our home town
as q post Office address only.
You must readjust yourself to con-
ditions as they arise You can't solve
your problems Just by hating each
Other-yOu need education, and TO ed
ucate child, you have to begin with
its grandparents.
A. TO Religion.
You can't be good Episcopalian
without a leaning toward Christianity,
and this applies TO other religions, too
What you must do is get the vinegar
out Of your system and iii IL with
the milk Of human kindness Living
right Is real Christianity.
Il have niweys been a Baptist
and still am, hut / am getting so
/ don't care whether a person was
wished or dry cleaned, rs long
rs he is a Christian.
Get ignorance and prejudice out Of
your minds and you'll solve all your
problems. Quit hating a man because
he votes the other ticket I believe
we ought 10 have two great parties
one in, and the other watching
Il vote the Republican ticket
because / think the Democrats are
the best watchers just look at
the mistakes we Republicans have
let you Democrats make. You
Democrats watch Us 50 close that
we never make any mistakes
when we are in power.
Down here in Texas I understand
a man has to get a license to be
Republican and he must be In by 9
o'clock at night and all that. but you
have two factions in the Democratic
party at election time. That helps
TO keep the balance and keep the old
world going right
Proper Person to Kick.
~ nen you IlnQ 100 persons KICKING
so of them ought to be kicking them
selves The old world is not as much
a fault as you often think.
The great thing that is wrong with
the world is that you hear all the bad
things The telegraph, the cables, the
daily press and rural delivery bring
everything 10 your door The daily
paper tells you all the wrong things in
the world and few Of the good ones.

Jones beat his family, you read it
and enjoy it. If you stay out Of jan

IL IS unusual and being unusual IS

Why World Seems Bad.
Therefore, ] say, the unusual. the
bad, is dished up TO you every day and
you think the world is bad A hun
dred good things happen every day
and unnoticed because they are usual
and are not news
The declaration OF independence
guarantees to you the right 10 the
pursuit Of happiness, but IL does not
guarantee happiness to YOU Whether
you catch il depends upon the attitude
you take toward life
We are progressing and you must
keep up with the progress We har-

Quit Hating, Final Injunction.
I've have fought a great world war
for humanity. Fifty millions gave
their lives in it-enOugh to lay them
like railroad ties and walk around the
world on them-yet it will all be for
nothing IL we don't get hate out OF
our hearts
we kept hate in our hearts for
England for a century because we
thought we fought a war with Eng
land, when in reality We only fought
with a stubborn old English ruler,
who was not even an Englishman-
NOW we have had our fight with
Germany and the men who ruled Ger
many- We must quit hating Ger
many know it takes a mighty good
Christian 10 do it-and get down to
the task OF trying to make the world
good enough to convince US that our
sacrifices were not in vain"
