In an address delivered recently be-

that seeks to exert political power is a

You have a right in a democratic
country under free institutions even
to establish a political party to change
the form of your government, if you
do it in accordance with the methods
prescribed by the constitution under
which we live, and you have a right

accomplish that purpose If you pro-
pose to do it in a legal manner. And
so you have a right to organize as a

any principle or set of principles, and
whether you are in a minority or q
majority.
But when, without being organized

such an organization in my Judgment
is a menace to our free institution:

Don't Argue.

DOHJ AfSuc-&.
Look about you, and you will never
find an arguer who has made a sue
;, cess of life. The people who preach
anarchy, discomfort, and rail at the
government and society from the tails
of carts, and from the cracker boxes
around the stoves in country stores,
are the arguerS who have made fail
ures OF their own affairs. They were
so busy opposing other people, they
had no time to do anything for them
selves
Socially. the arguer is the chief
among Oen thousand bores, and We
would go as far to avoid meeting one,
face to face, as we would a leper.
One person addicted to disputation,
can spoil the jolliest party for a score
| of other people, or turn the most care
fuIly-planned dinner into cinders,
an uncanny instinct that makes him
or her go for pet enthusiasrns, tear
your heroes to pieces, and asperse
every faith that is sacred and holy to
| you.
1t is in the family circles, however,
| that the arguer gets in his deadliest
work. There let two .of these be left
| together. and warfare RACES from the
coming up of the sun to the going
down thereof, and back again. No

I to fight over, and there is no peace.

| Such husbands and wives soon come

And to what end is the argument?

who changed his or her point of view

listener stiff, and to leave every zone
thinking of the arguer with a bitter
taste in his or her mouth.
Nobody loves an arguer. This peo-
pie we like, and whose society we en-
| joy, are those who are .congeniaf with
us. who like the same things we like
and hold the same views that we hold
And what egotism it is to try to
