Some people advocate jail senten-
ces for those who conspire against
the government. But it is doubtful
if that is the best policy, or even one
that will produce satisfactory results.
Drastic action is necessary in such
cases, but it should be action that will
relieve US of the presence of the plot
ter instead of merely depriving him
temporarily of his liberty.
In nearly every case these plotters
come to US unlimited from some for
eign shore. Since they do not approve
of the manner in which we manage
our own affairs, the logical course
would be to send them back to the
countries from whence they come.
They may find conditions more to their
liking in the hotbeds from whence they
fed.
Foreigners who are willing to be-
come productive assets in this coun-
try are welcome.
Dangerous liabilities are not want

ARE YOU A
PESSIMIST?

Have you formed the habit of look
ing on the dark side of lofe? Are you
easily discouraged, especially when
5hings are not running smooth?
Do you throw up your hands when
title difficulties confront you?
Do you look upon yourself as
failure?
If you look at life in this light, you
must change your thoughts at once.
People who are pessimistic have very
little chance in the great business
world, unless they find that they are
IN the wrong and change from pessi-
nists to optimists Don't be pessi-
mist. Try to see the sunny side of
life, think only of success. If you
think of success and success only, also
work with that thought in mind at all
times you are sure to win out in the
end if you are willing to work and
pay the price.
If we are to become great success,
we must be willing to pay the price.
We must be willing to work hard and
put forth the best We have, because
success is the result of good honest
work with one object in view which is
success. Never take your eye off the
mark when once you start until you
have won your battle, by so doing your
next battle will be much more easy for
you.
Show the public that you are will
ing to put forth every possible effort
and people will be willing to help you.
No one likes pessimist or fail
IRE, therefore, if you are in this class
get out of it at once. Don's wait un-
Ill tomorrow because tomorrow will
never come.

and coddled by the neighbors. The
older one felt his isolation keenly, but
said little. He became morose and
self willed, and was trial to his par
ents.
One day the younger one died, and
the neighbors grieved.
But there was no petting for the
remaining boy. because he had not
been petted during the life of his bro
Their. He, too, grieved, but his dis
position did Dot change
The neighbors sat in his home one
night thinking of the future of the
remaining child. He wondered if he
had been quite fair with it and con-
Guided that he had not.
The next time he saw the little fell
low he was kind and gentle with him
He gave the same attention he had
given his brother, and continued that
course from day to day.
Soon he detected a change, and in
the course of few months there was
a wonderful transformation. The
moroseness gradually disappeared, sne
was replaced by sunny disposition
Not all due to the neighbor, OF
course, but it had its effect. It aideG
in removing the gloom that cloudee
the infantile brain and brought hi:
better qualities to the surface.
There are little children around u:
of this community each day. The!
are as sensitive to indifference ant
neglect as the boy whose story WI
have told.
What are we doing to put the sun
shine of happiness into their lives?
What are you doing?
