THE MINORITY RULES
DR.. Roy Smith

During one of Theodore Roosevelts polti-
position newspaper, after a long pursuit,
secured picture Of the president which
exhibited sufficient responsiveness to discredit
him in the eyes Of the voters.
"How long did it take you to get that
photograph" asked the president of the
camera man when they met some time
afterwards. --v--~-.,e
"Seven weeks" was the reply.
"Then will not worry" said Mr., Roose-
welt. eff I only look that way once in
seven weeks 1 must not be so wicked
Yet thousands of people judged him by
that one picture!
Flies always seem to get more attention
than ointment. A preacher may have serv-
ed his people helpfully for years. Then
he makes mistake and the majority of
his helpfulness is forgotten in the minor
ity of his mistakes.
city administration may give the city
good business administration, uphold high
moral standards, and serve the interests
of all the people faithfully, but if the
mayor makes political mistake in an APP
pointment he is judged by his minority.
A governor of midwestern state piloted
his commonwealth through the war with
consummate skill and faithfulness Then
one day he mistakenly pardoned criminal
who was serving time in the state prison.
This one pardon killed him politically.
A great singer gave recital not long
ago which was a marvellous exhibition of
musical art. Only one accident marred the
evening At one time, on high tone, her
voice broke. That one break occupied more
space in the critics reviews than all the
beautiful tones.
One inconsiderate act is sometimes enough
to ruin a friendship of lifetime. One vul-
gar line in book or play damns it in the
minds of many.
Why not form the habit of judging by
majorities?
Forget the one bad political appointment
in the memory of the hundred good ones.
Forget the one unkind remark in the thous-
ands of kind ones. Revel in the beautiful
tones and forgive the breaks.
Goodness is usually in the majority if we
will look for it as eagerly as we watch for
the evil.

FLAG STAFF DOES
BIG DAMAGE TO
SCHOOL HOUSE
IRON FLAG POLE SINKS THRU
! THREE FLOORS; CHILDREN
AND TEACHERS SHOW MUCH
POISE.

A near tragedy was averted by
the narrowest margin Tuesday after.
noon when the 2x8 scantlings which
supported the flag pole on the grade
building gave way and allowed the
thirty-six foot length of iron pine
weighing about 500 pounds, to hurtIe
down through the building from the
top OF the cupola to the angle Of the
main stairway on first floor, a dis
lance equivalent to four stories. The
accident happened just as the child
rem in the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades were passing out at recess
The fourth graders had just cleared
the stairway and the fifth and sixth
graders were massed in the upper
stairway, ready to march down, when
the iron mass crashed through the
ceiling and smashed the stairs a scant
yard from where the children were
standing. Plaster, broken lath and
splinters were scattered all over the
lower hall but no one was injured.
Teachers and pupils behaved admir-
ably in the crisis The stairs appear
ed to be unsafe and the teachers wise
ly marched the children back to their
