Be Not Prone to Take Ofense.

, When a 'snub" some fellow gives
you,
And you think it hard to bear,
Don't allow it to upset you
Just remember who you are.
If you're not careless fellow
Do not merit such rebuff,
Keep your temper mild and mellow,
Then he'll feel quite bad enough.
II he has spark of manhood
He will soon apologize:
Then you'll soon be a happy victor
And you'll have friend you'll
prize.
Life's too precious for resentment
To be harbored in the heart,
For it brings no true amendment
No relief from harbored smart.
Sooner we forget our troubles
That beset us on our way,
And consider them but bubbles
That will vanish in a day
So much sooner we will conquer
All the ills of earthly life
Save ourselves from much dishonor
And a deal of foolish strife.
Come, then, let us pray with ardor
For the coming worldwide peace
Talking more and working harder
That all wrongs and strifes may
cease.
Then we'll sing a new new story
Of the love of men for men
And to God We'll give the glory,
And we'll shout lOnd amen!

OPINION is INTERESTING,
ONLY the TRUTH Is VITAL

A correspondent writes TO inquire with amaze
ment why It ia Tho world habltually publishes
criticism Of Itself, gone OF which contain
charges Of grave nature" which It never re-
piles to-"
The answer Is that nothing in this world is
important unless lt contains substance. II thero
ip no substance In charge. or an opinion, why
should anyone take ii seriousy7 II there iB
no substance In proposition even OF a con
structvo nature In theory, Il Ia not entitled to
tho serious consideration OF busy human being.
what our correspondent refers TO. the various
criticisms Of various correspondents, ana the
charges some Of them feel called on to make,
are OF no importance whatever. For instance.
recently and we do not recall whether the con-
ttibution has yet reached print oT not, con-
trlhuter 10 tho Barometer says that "al labor
ing people should refuse TO allow The World TO
come into their home since It is nothing but
subsidized sheet for the capitalstio class"
why should Tho World hesitate TO give pub
llcntion to such a charge and such concluslon7
II is merely matter OF opinion the part
OF tho writer. Although unjustified by the
facts and the record; and being so The World
Is perfectly willing to grant tho courtesy OF pub
lication OF the writer. He feels better. having
rid himself OF tho absurd opinion. and certainly
The World ls not at all fearful that others will
fail 20 discern correctly
Opinion is merely interosting; Il IL only the
truth that Is vital a few days ago tho editor
OF The World was called over the telephone
By business man OF the city who said: 'Do
you know what think OF you think you
a blankoty- blank blank" OF course he was
told courtoousy that his opinion was OF no con-
ccrn whatever to tho editor OF Tho World.
Many people labor seriously under the mis-
apprehension that their mere opinion is import
ant. II isn't. In this country every man has
right TO his opinion and more or less right
to express IT, But tho opinion itself is not sub
stantlal unless It is OF that character which in
itself constitutes substance.
II The world was guilty OF some OF the things
charged by its free critics, then It would un-
doubtedly he very much concerned about pub
fishing the contributions. But !t ts daily rec
ord is not sufficient TO Withstand such attacks
without directly noticing them. then nothing IT
could say would servs such a purpose.
The purpose OF Tho World Ia 10 be entirely
courteous to all contributors desiring TO OK
press their opinion concerning matters OF public
moment II contributions at all come within
the very elastic rules adopted, they are pub
lished, regardless of whether they are favorable
or unfavorable to The World. We believe that

UNCLE SAM AS A BUSINESS MAN.

People who feel that everything would be all
right n only the government owned and con-
trolled all business would do well to ponder
carefully the sale OF ships held by tho govern
ment the other day.
Uncle sam went into tho shipping business
or was thrust into H. We took from you and
me and the other fellow dollars that he needed
for captalizing his venture The fleet. when
he had It complete, cost him 100000 900 That's
lot Of money, But uncle spent many hundreds
Of millions Of dollars trying TO make his fleet
earn its keep. It didn't, Yet private shipping
earned dividends risht along
So uncle decided 10 sell his fleet Of ships one
day tho past week ne held his auction. And the
sSoo.ooo.ooo fleet was knocked down 20 the
highest bidder az S750ooo'

RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT

II the flremens convention which concluded

its consideration Of technical matters directly
connected with rs business long enough TO step
aside and direct how the government In general
should be conducted It only did what every
other assemblage OF citizens has been doing
There seems to be an idea abroad that when
ever two or more citizens meet FOR any purpose
a resolution IS expected concerning what laws
shall be made and how the government shall be
generally conducted. It is all hit confusing
what times Il Is not positively ludcrous. The
three tanors OF Tooley street started II away
back yonder In history; and the custom has
been growing.
Naturally the tiremen want light wines and
beer Because lquid Is necessary TO put out
flames, whether they be the flames which con-
sumo a physical structure or merely flames that
parch the inner side OF tho human anatomy And
having started on tho government directing
business the flremen took IN much territory.
They are nremen and they resolved on what
f!remen should have in tho way Of government
benefactions. But they were not selfish. They
likewise resolved what postal employees should
have.

the delegates that they did not resolute on The
