1t has been said many times-and
always foolishly-that the radical OF
today is always the conservative OF
tomorrow. A radical is never a con-
servative; he is always demanding a
lot of things he is not honestly en-
titled to; always in revolt against
the natural order and compelling the
conservatives to make him behave
himself On election day II became
necessary for the conservatives to
again go to consid erable trouble and
rub the noses of radicals in facts.
1t will be necessary in all time 20
come for conservatives to control the
radicals, who want to eat not only
the nest egg but the setting hens and
the added eggs under them.
1t is true enough that the con-
servatives closely investigate every
argument put forward by the radi-
Gals, and If sense is found in one 1t
is adopted But there is rarely sense
in the arguments and proposals of
radicals Whenever conservatives
have adopted radical proposition It
has usually turned out to be a mis-
take. A startling feature of the re-
cent election was the number Of rad
ical propositions rejected after trial.
The commonest of the common people
are becoming convinced that the
propositions OF the radicals are al
ways foolish.
Some one wrote in a magazine the
other day that every one cooks bacon
wrong, and tells how 1t should be
done. Where did this guy get the
notion that millions OF people have
been cooking bacon millions of years
and that none of them have discov-
cred the right way? Here is evil
IDENTIFY another advice giving ass who
has entirely too good an opinion of
himself.
In a certain town there is a white
man who hauls slop with an old,
half lf-crippled team of horses and dis
reputable wagon. He lives in the
suburbs in half tent, half shack. He
associates q good deal with colored
people. A co1ored husband, indeed,
talks of taking a shot at the white
man. He is a poor man-one of the
lowly. What sound foundation is
there for the talk that this man is
better than J. P. Morgan, an interna.-
tional financier, a very rich man and
very generous philanthropist? How
much truth is there in the story that
il Mr.. Morgan and this poor man
should die at the same time Mr.. Nor
gan would go to hell and this poor
man to Abraham's bosom?
Fairly capable and reliable men are
so scarce that they are commanding
enormous incomes. Most of them
get twice as much as they are actu-
ally worth I am only a second or
third rater at my trade, but have
steady habits, and have been able to
get frst-rate pay. Young men com
ing on should know that the great
thing to consider is reasonable reli-
ability, reasonable industry. There
are so many idlers so many unreli-
able men, that these simple qualities
attract great attention. And I again
declare my opinion that there is more
pleasure in doing your work fairly
well and in meeting the obligations
every man owes himself than can be
found in dissipation Of any kind.

Married people tell funny stories
on themselves, 1 was talking lately
to a wife who says that she COM
planned to her husband a good deal
in her early married life because he
didn't say frequently he loved her.
The husband finally tired OF II. and
said to her: 'I told you once ! loved
you, and 1 don't want to hear any
more about it"
