There always have been and there
always will be differences of opinion
among men.
These differences make for good
and they make for evil, according as
they are wise or unwise, worthy or
unworthy, right or wrong.
They multiply as time passes, and
never have they been more marked
than at the present time.
Radicalism is rampant, and revolu-
ionary thought rocks the universe.
Since evolution strides thru time
on the winged feet Of revolutionary
ideas, and friction all along the line
threatens the security Of personal
peace, it is we'll for all to pause and
consider the need of cultivating and
fostering a spirit Of tolerance.
Knowing that growth is possible
only through the untrammeled exer-
else of our faculties, it is not the
province of any man to challenge the
inherent right of another to do his
own thinking, to follow his own line
of conduct. That is, so long as he
does not infringe upon the rights of
others.

Meanderings Of A Mildly Militant Mind
THE BRICANT

strong minded, strong-willed and bril-
liant young woman who forced her
standards of life upon a girl whom
she had befriended. She called it, this
usurpation Of the rights of another,
influence-right influence, of course
but in the end she came to bitter
realization of her mistaken sense of
superiority and right.
The concluding paragraph of that
story forms the strongest argument
have ever found for the practice of
wider tolerance. It's repetition, in
plea for cultivation Of that virtue,
may pass along a CLEAN of elucidat-
ing truth which may brighten the
way of many whose misconception of
duty makes for discord and trouble.
The words are these: "Only the
wise can know that each soul has a
right to be the captain of it's own
ship, and whoever tries to take that
right away, tho it be in the name of
goodness and of God, and tho it be
done by a saint, has none the less
tried to steal from another all that
makes life of profit to the soul of
man, and, therefore, is a thief in
deed"
Strong words, yes; but who can say
that they are not true?
We have our rights, but, someone
has said, they end where another's
begin.
It is up to US to Live our own lives
Be kind. Be charitable. Be honest
Be true. Then
Believe, or try to, that others, ac'
cording to the light of their own in
telMgence and convictions, are doing
the same.
This is tolerance, the lubricant
which prevents the grating and grind
ing of the wheels of society, promotes
good fellowship, and insures liberal
degree of spiritual development.

also were passed. The Drug Store
Liquor Bill for Pocomoke seemed to
have disappeared and was lost in the
shuttle. 1t is safe to predict, howev-
er, that this bill is only sleeping and
will wake up in 1927.
Altogether, the session is not one
to which the State can point with
pride. 1t will not go down in history
as one marked by personnel which
couldn't be characterized as possessing
strong traits Of craftsmanship. There
was in evidence more than the usual

ADVENTURE

soon a ship appeared, the Hudson's
Bay company's brigantlne Una. Her
people blasted the rocks, while the
Indians, naked and well oiled, grabbed
the plunder. The sailors wrestled,
but could not hold those oily rogues
In time the Una sailed with load Of
gold, but was cast away with her cargo
in the Straits of Fuca.
Next year Gold Harbor was full Of
little ships, with gunboat to keep
them in order while they reaped a
total harvest of two hundred eighty
nine thousand dollars. The British
warship Thetis had gone away when
the schooner Susan Sturgis came back
for a second load, the only vessel TO
brave the winter storms. One day
while all hands were in the cabin at
dinner the Indians stole on board,
clapped on the matches and made them
prisoners. They were marched ashore
and stripped in the deep snow, plead
Ing for their underw ear, but only Cap
tain Rooney and the mate were al
lowed that luxury. The seamen were
sold to the Hudson's Bay company
at Fort Simpson, but the two officers
remained in slavery. BY day they
chopped firewood under a guard, at
night crouched in a dark corner of
a big Indian house, out of sight of
the fire in the middle, fed on such
scraps of offal as their masters deigned
to throw them. Only one poor old
woman pitied the slaves, hiding many
a dried clam under the mating with
in their reach. Also they made friend
of Chief Bearskin's son; and Bear
skin himself was good-hearted
man, though Edenshaw proved brute.
Rooney was an able-bOdied Irishman
Lang tall, brOad-shoudered Scot,
though this business turned his hair
gray. For after the schooner was
plundered and broken up, a dispute
arose between Bearskin and Eden
shaw as to their share of the captives.
Edenshaw would kill Lang rather than
surrender him to Bearslin, and twice
the Scotchman had his head on the
block to be chopped off before Bear
skin gave in to save his life. At last
both slaves were sold to Captain Nc
Neill who gave them each striped
shirt, corduroy trousers and shoes,
then shipped them aboard the Beaver.
Now it so happened that on the pas
sage southw ard the Beaver met with
the only accident in her long life, for
during storm the steering gear was
carried away. Lang was ships car
penter, and his craftsmanship saved
the little heroine from being lost with
all hands that night. This rescued
slave became the pioneer shipbuilder
of Western Canada.
