POLITICAL TOLERANCE.

Some people cannot talk politics five minutes
without showing temper If you venture to express
any different opinion, they begin to shout and in
sinuate that all who differ from them are fools or
knaves.
1t has never yet proved possible to divide people
so that all the honest men shall be side and
all the rascals the other 1t is permissible to con-
slider that your own party includes more intelligence
than the other, but it is not intelligent to feel that
neighbors who differ from you any less honest.
People OF small minds rant ana rave when com
pairing their views. The really big men of the two
parties generally good friends. They exchange
views with good temper, knowing that much be
said on both sides of any big question.
The people who write campaign books and get
out campaign circulars very busy. Soon
the public will be flooded with torrent of partisan
literature, the writer's of which gloss every
fault of their own party, and seek to prove that
opponents deceitful and unpatriotc rascals
1t is doubtful if such partisan appeals make much
impression. Many independent voters are repealed
by this kind of argument. 1t looks unfair, on the
face of it, People able to judge because of per-
sonal experience and observation. A rational, jul
dcia and fair minded tone will win more votes.

FINE BOYS, BOTH.

Governor Cox, like Senator Harding, was thrifty
youngster and eager to make two bits the
gamin the street today selling papers. At the
age of twelve Cox was ringing a church bell and
klndling the Sunday morning fire for 35 cents per
week He increased his activities by doing jan
itor work for village school for dollar per
month.
At the end of four years he was getting mag
nificent salary-$4O per month for teaching other
kids in town, and was running a night school
in nearby place. One of the school directors was
tobacco millionaire who made protege of Jimmy,
and upon going to congress later took Cox private
secretary.
Prior to that Cox had tried reporting on Gin
cinnati paper and been fired for some cause just as
had Harding. Both of the rubber bali sort
when bounced they went upward. You can't keep
a good boy down.

SOCIETY AND THE CHILDREN.

The sight of little, sick, emaciated girl, with
bruises her frail body, made a powerful appeal
to the sympathies of on-lookers in police court
day two ago, where stepmother was being tried
for abusing the poor child.
The pinched covered hopeless face told its own
the hopeless submission to the inevitable, almost
brought tears to the eyes of those who knew what
a-happy, healthy, carefree childhood ought to be.
The sad sight was mitigaed somewhat by the
figure of DIR. Lukens bulkng large behind the tiny
child. Love. sympathy and protection persona
fled in his self-reliant bearing he sat- concrete
evidence of the pubc's real humanity For public
gifts to his chid-wefare program made possible his
presence there. Rabbi Bergman, drifted in and out
showing earnest interest in the case Public bene-
factions made possible his presence also.
Could those who give to the Children's Home and
to the United Charities have how their money
put them there by proxy, to lend helping hand,
they would have thanked God for the kindly I'M
pulse which prompted the gift Such instances slim
ulate to do duty gladly when the appeal for
funds is made.
But such affairs stimulate another thought Why
must such cases become so bad that Indignation
among neighbors must break the bonds Of enghbor-
hood good feeling before action can be had? Mat
tiers must be very fragrant, indeed, when neighbors
