THE POWER OF SILENCE.

During the war, a United States Senator was
ton of several war moves made by the govern
ment. Irwin Cobb wrote story, THE Thunders OF
Silence" which the Saturday Evening Post pronted
Taking their from the story, the newspaper
correspondents at Washington suppressed the do
ings and sayings of the senator until he had lost
his power.
The New York Mail recently published the fol-
lowing editorial dealing with the power of this
rarey-used weapon:
i"There is nothing in this world which works
TO greater advantage than to be silent. No one
likes to be ignored. 1t hurts like the mischief to
have antagonist throw up barricade against
which you have no power The moment the other
fellow is silent, that minute all detailed plans of
attack are worthless. The only thing one do
is to be silent also, and there you are Though
but an armistice. the action of conflict is
"The one who refuses to converse may be one
you have no for. Still 1t bothers you. You are
annoyed, your pride is injured at the realization
that the one you hold In has the opportu-
nifty to ignore you. The moment you resort to
tantalizing banter you acknowledge the final de-
feat If you fall In line and Initiate you compli-
ment The secret is to steal the thunder first.
'If one you love keeps silent it hurts twice,
may have offended to bring down upon your head
such punishment and again because the loved one
could ignore you.
"Just think the conquering points of this
silent weapon"
