READ AND PONDER


in a recent address, laid down some
precepts which it is good for Ameri
cans to read and ponder over. III
said:
Let all we'll wishers of good gov.
eminent, all those who love theii
country and it's institutions, lister
now for moment:
Find disloyalty, if there be dis
loyalty, and scotch it; find dishon-
esty, if there be dishonesty, and
crush it; find the right and cleave
unto it. Keep your eyes ahead, Am
orleans, but keep your feet on solid
ground Find the reason for discon-
tent and meet it sQuarely; correct the
cause where there is a cause, and
mercilessly destroy the excuse where
it is an excuse only Find exact JUS
tice and demand it-demand it for all
men, and require it from all men
Be patient with one another-each
one is equally responsible. Stop and
look within. Look each one to your
own conscience and moral RESPONSE
bility In the whirl of passing storm,
seize upon common sense and, hold
ing fast, reach for others who may
be hurled by. Yes, forget not the
others who are about you. 1t is as
dangerous now as it was just outside
the walls Of Eden to ask in surprise:
Am I my brothers keeper? Remem-
Der, we shall go up or we shall go
down together. The great Power
which is the Spirit OF America must
not tolerate any attempt to array
class against class, section against
section or sect against sect Guard
against this as you would against |
pestilence. the nation has no greater
enemy than one who would thus di-
vide the country against itself Mere
agitation and mere motion are not
progress. The vicious circle is not
the shortest distance between honest
effort and highest reward. Remem
Der that one man is only better than
another when he behaves himself
DctICi. wv WHY WOii-bChe1'SN AAi,eAA ,
his equality of opportunity and re-
quire from him his full share Of ac
countability Live and let live is not
enougl-we must live and help live !
and as you live and help live, find
always exact justice and enforce it. Y
And as we go about our affairs,
let us keep our eyes ahead-and keep ?
our eyes up-for we will need to keep
our eyes-on Him."

Uncle Joe" Cannon has declared f;
his intention to quit politics He will O.
not be a candidate for congress at z
the next election. The veteran 4
statesman has represented his dis ~ =.
trict in Illinois since 1872, with tie tc
exception of two terms and is easily pr
the dean of congress. He has aided
in the making of more history than '''
any man now living in the United
States, and, perhaps than any man in
