THE GOOD IS THERE.

The most miserable man in thu
world is the one who believes that
nobody is to be trusted, that
selfshness is the predominant
trait in every life, that goodness
is merely a matter Of convenience.
There is much, it is true, to dis
courage us as we observe the ways
Of the world and see how little Of
the spirit Of Christ is in many of
the things that happen. But that
is only a superficial view; We can
not see deep into the hearts Of
men and read the motives that lie
back of what they do. Yet it is
motive that gives moral value 10
actions. We need to realize that
there is more good in the world
and in the hearts Of men than APP
pears on the surface. Sueh reat-
ization viii save as many an hour
Of Encouragement and many
pang Of disappointment. We
should never condone sin-nor
should we ever overlook good
ness, Even the worst of men
sometimes have noble impulses

WHAT SHALL I TEACH MY
CHILD?

Teach him that it IS better to
die than to lie; that it is better to
starve than to steal that; it is
better to be a scavenger or i
woOdchopper than an idler and a
dead beat; that it is just as Grim.
NAL and reprehensible to waste
Monday as to desecrate Sunday
that labor is the price Of all hon
est possessions; that no one IS
exempt from the obligation to
labor with head, handle or heart :
that an honest man is the
noblest work of Cod" that
knowledge is power; that labor is
worship and idleness sin: that it
IS better to eat the crust Of indie
pendent poverty than to mxuriatc
in the richest yiands as a de
pendent. Teach him these fact,
till thev are woven into his being
and regulate his life; and We will
insure his succeSs-though the

PEOPLE ARE THINKING.

The people of the country are
very busy thinking just now
thinking hard and seriously, and
it is most hopeful sign. They
have passed through four or five
years Of experience that compel
them to think hard. They are
thinking for themselves now, in
stead of delegating that job to
others Of the self-appointed type,
who heretofore have constituted
themselves the thinking genuiseS
for the people and have been per-
mitted in the past to get away
with their false pretence. The
people have Wearied of the substi-
tuition Of rules and regulations
for ordained and established laws.
and have long since ceased to
submit unprotesting to the dicta-
ton of deputy ears and fanaticai
organizations. Pretty soon they
will have had it out with them
selves and then will come the ex-
preston Of their findings, which
will be to the effect that govern
ment must be an institution
founded on law and Justice and in
which the people must rule. The
political revolution which came
to a head November 2, in which
the people unmistakenly ex-
pressed their determination to do
away with all dictatorial forms
Of government and government
by rule and regulation and the
trif1ing with their rights and lib
critics, has an ominous meaning
for the trifiers. They want to get
the government back to the peo-
pie and out Of the hands of the
bureaus, the reformers; the ia
natics and the political and re-
.iglous anarchists. and they re 90
ing to do it. The system of a |
clique or a gang going to Wash |
ngton and bulldozing pet meas
Tres through Congress by politi-
,al intimidation, wont go anyI
more. The bulldozers cannot de-
liver the goods and the represen-
atives of the people have been
'ack home and found it out. The1
popular demand now is for a
constructive administration of the
peoples business and the restora-
ion Of all that is normal in busil
less and governmental affairs. TIE
