We never get rid of a temper by losing it.
Men and books may best be Judged by
the mood :. which we leave them
Natures laws are MEMORABLE yet she
obeys them without exception; that is why
she endures.
Inefficiency creates more cares than eff
cheney has need to overcome.
The man who uses wit for attack will
soon have great need Of it for defense.
Narrowminded people are quite generous
about their views; they even try to force
them on others.

THE SMILE

A joyous, willing and from-the-
heart smile is Gods best gift to
man. 1t is q mans duty to pass the
precious gift along. Nobody likes
a crouch. When a man smiles A.
though he means 1t, he Is sure to
attract friends and business
There are times when " Is as
hard to smile as to have a tooth
pulled. In business, a customer be-
comes unreasonable and you feel
like giving him "a piece of youI
mind" That's your opportunity to
show him how big you really are
SMILE. In nine cases out OF
ten the smile will win the irate
customer. and you will have won
a friend. The smile is an asset that
pays big DIVIDENDS.

as the time for drawing the sword
if, in the meantime, the peaceable
busting of Great Britain by social
and commercial ostracism has not
been achieved. f~
The people of Mesopotamia have
signed treaty within few days
with Russia to protect themselves
against Great Britain.
The British Empire is like the
circle in the water that has reached
its widest spread and is beginning
to break at the outer rim.
The British Government under
stands the situation and is preparing
for it. Arms these oppressed people
must have in their last resort to
gain liberty. America is asked to
forget her own history and to re-
press the natural human sympathy
for human beings struggling to be
free. The fact that Ireland has
struggled for 600 years shows that
she has the unconquerable spirit
that alone makes a nation.
We have almost completely aban-
doned our ancient practice of afford
ing political asylum to the coura-
geous hearts in all lands who dare to
strike blow for liberty. If the
spirit of Kossuth and the spirits of
our fathers who gave the great
Hungarian revolutiOnist fugitive a
royal welcome to our shores; if the
spirits of Carl Schurz and the Ger
man revolutionists of 1S48 and our
fathers who welcomed them in their
flight to America, know the change
that has come in the practice of our
Government; if the spirit of John
Boyle O'Reilly and the Americans
who received him gladly, know of
the deportation of Mayor O'Cal-
laghan, then there is sorrow and
shame in Heaven.
The entire range of public office
holders and office-seekers, from
President down, endorsed it. Press
and pulpit rang with it. Not voice
said nay.
Consequently if there ever was
binding obligation, this was morally
one. Hence we say to the gentlemen
of Congress who are planning
further delay: "No, sirs; your
scheme of evasion will not do!'
The country owes sacred debt of
honor. Debts of honor are not con-
tingent.
Cases of acute need among our re-
turned defcnders-and there are
thousands of them-must not be
postponed or left dangling in un-
certainty. Congress dare not evade
its duty, and cannot without dis
honor.
For, as Mr.. Hearst pointed out
In The Times of April IA. neglect of
nations defenders, in addition to
being contemplate and cruel is also
dangerous. Of those once fulsome
eulogists of wars and soldiers who
now turn their backs upon veterans
in distress, Mr.. Hearst wrote:
do they realize that, when the
call is again made for the sons of
the plain people to do the fighting,
this heartless indifference, this
cruel neglect of soldiers who sacri.
feed everything in this war may
come up to confront them?
There is so much heroism in
American men, so much self -sacri-
fee, so much nobility of character
and lofty superiority to petty
things, that perhaps the masses
from whom our armies are made
will forget even the neglect and
the heartleSs indifference with
