ANONYMOUS LETTERS

Recent publicity in regard to lot of poison pen
letters in New York should to emphasize once
the fact that anonymous communications deserve
no attention. 1t IS coWardly act to make any sort
Of derogatory accusations against any person anony-
mously. 1t is foolish act to believe such accusations
When such letters received, the proper author
tiles should be notified that the guilty writer may
be found and punished. Further than that the recipi-
ent of such communications should ignore the crude
accusations.
1t is an unfortunate weakness in human character
that IN so many cases person hearing unknd gossip
receiving slanderous communication is more ready
TO believe the improved statements of the malicious
poison dispenser than to trust his judgment or
the slandered persons character.
The poison pen letter. like the silly chain letter
calls for prompt exercise of good and sanity
on the part Of the recipient The anonymous letter to
which no attention is paid is harmless.
California is making more money out of oil than
she ever made out of god and making still more out

You will find your reei work most

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

The memory of Lincoln fingers in this gen eration a benediction for all who love America; who are able to rise above the dis turbino storms of envy, hate and jealousy, and live in the calm of personal achievement and national welfare. Lincoln lived amid the rage of hate and envy, yet grew strong above it. He believed in the people, but only ill the good people.
 In America, in any so-called "democracy,' which, after all, is a representative Republic, the only good citizen is he she who will look beyond the chance differences which Provi- dence has scattered about among the people, to the great purposes of this Republic beyond. If any citizen had reason to be envious of his fellows so far as physical attributes are con cerned, it was Lincoln. But his soul looked beyond to the fields of service to humanity. He taught the lesson of real patriotism and faith in the Almighty.
 Abraham Lincoln died in defense of estab- lishcd institutions, and led war against some who sought to destroy our Government. IT alive now, Abraham Lincoln would be the first to subscribe to the doctrine that Cnly Americans who love their country and who take an oath to protect it are fit to govern,
 To be a good American citizen all must rid themselves of petty envies and jealousies over wealth, or position, and play well the part to which their ability and genius assigns them. There is a right place for all, and the highest tribute that can be paid to any citizen is that he or she was faithful to the end.

Things We Think

Why worry over the past when there is going to be so much the future to worry over? Now that you've cashed your war savings stamps, don't be afraid of burglars but of the man who guar antees you seven per and upward your money. You may trust to luck" but luck trusts nobody. Distrus anybody who whispers, "You ought to have a car" He's getting cut in on the commission More people are willing to do their level best than their uphill best
 A lot of men who during the sang loudly, Keep the Home Fires Burning" allow their wives to do it in winter
 Whatever thinks about the kind of automo- bile friend has bought, he always tells him. "You've surely got dandy little there." genius is who works little harder at the job than somebody who isn't.
 Who remembers when grapefruit only for a breakfast?

LINCOLN NEVER MANFRED

We of this day must try to solve many soc1al and industrial problems, requiring to an es- pecal degree the combination of indomltable resolution with cool-headed sanity. We can learn much of value from the very attacks which following that course brought upon his head-attacks alike by the extremists of revo
 lution and by the extremists of reaction. He never wavered in devotion to principles, in his love for the Unioin and in his abhorrence of slavery Timid and lukewarm people were always denouncing him because he was too cx- treme; but as matter of fact he never went to extremes he worked step by step; and be- cause of this the extremists hated and de- nounced him with fervor which seems to us fantastic in it's deification of the unreal and the impossible At the very time when one side was holding him up as the apostle of social revolution because he was against slavery, the leading aboltionist denounced him as the ''save hound of Illinois, ; When he was the second time candidate for President, the majority of his opponents attacked him be- cause of what they termed his extreme radical ism, while minority threatend to bolt his nomination because he was not radical enough. He had continually to check those who wished to go forward too fast at the very time that he overrode the opposition of those who wished not to go forward at all The goal was never dim before his vision; but he picked his way cautiously, without either halt or hurry as he strode toward it, through such a morass of difficulty that no man of less courage would have attempted it, while it would surely have overwhelmed any man of Judgment less serene.-Theodore Roosevelt
