Hatred Kills

Nature has her peculiar ways Of retribution.
Build dam to keep back the waters of mountain
lakes and, unless you build it very strong, spring
freshet may carry it away.
A man in Iowa had some slight difference with his
wife and decided he would not speak to her again
as long he lived.
For seven yearr he carried out that silly yet
sinister threat. Their simple home life, that had
run on evenly for nearly fifty years, suddenly be-
came damned by hatred.
Stubbornness placed the barrier there Selfwill,
SO used becomes of the most sinister of lifes
forces holding back the refreshing waters Of mercy
from the meadows and the forests of love.
But, in the end, who suffers most? The wife,
who must look upon this rencarnation of the ia
miliar desert image? Or the man himself, who has
imposed upon his natural emotions and instincts this
terrible barrier to choke sweetness out Of his life?
The man could not win this struggle. After seven
years Nature beat him to earth, rolled torrent Of
words over his foolish da crushed utterly his self
made restraint. The found silence uncomfortable;
at the last he spoke and spoke, terrible storm of
words that his racked mind had stored.
He gave the world one service though. He lived
for seven years in torment and wrecked his life to
prove that the hater really kills only himself.

What Our Songs Say

Music hath charms, but more than that it may be
used as criterion of the character and personality
Of the singer. A study of the music of the Tule
Indians of Panama shows how the peaceful life of
these Indians is reflected in their music. Tules, also
known as "whte Indians" because Of frequent &C.
currence of white skin, tow heads and grey eyes
among them, have songs of the happiness Of life.
There are no songs to give success in gambling. no
songs connected with the food supply, and they
have never been at war; they have no war songs
Many interpretations of Americas modern songs
have been attempted Opinions differ with the in
terpreters. However, the lightning rapidity with
which we change from song to another must
reflect a restless spirit in this country, spirit
which urges US to seize upon something new and
different quickly tire of it and continue the search
for the unusual.

Editorial Comment

Duluth Herald.)

William Allen White of the Emporia, Kan, Ga.
zette is not only successful novelist, but is prob
ably the best known newspaper man in the United
States Although he has made fortune with his
books and is man Of large affairs and varied
interests he still edits the Gazette and personally
writes most of it's editorials editorials so readable
and of such profound insight into American life and
thought that they constantly quoted in all parts
of the country.
Last week he wrote one about EmpOria
chant and there is much in it capable Of appli
cation to business everywhere that The Herald is
reprinting most of it here. He said:
Twenty -nine years ago A. O. Rorabaugh came to
Emporia from Topeka with little stock of dry
goods. He spread out his stock in a twenty-fi
foot room-the north part Of his present store He
ran along few weeks, and then the writer of these
lines who was advertising salesman for the Gazette
in those days-also reporter, editor, copy reader,
telegraph editor and printer in pinch, who could
also kick the Gordon jobber-breezed into Rora-
baugh's store with proposition to sell Mr.. Rora-
baugh page advertisement in the Gazette He had
tried twelve-inch double profitably but it about
broke him to pay for it. We were a STALKER in
those days. Mr.. Rorabaugh tried to resist. But
we fixed him with beady eyes, and he succumbed
to this proposition, to-wt:
I'VE would write the advertisement. We would
go over the store ana get the prices ana advertise
a special sale. We would fill page with it, No
other dry goods store any other outfit in town
had ever used a page advertisement before with
special prices for days sale. And the terms would
be follows: Nothing, with no discount for cash.
We would run the advertisement two days. It
seemed reasonable to Mr.. Rorabaugh. But it wasn't.
The crowd broke into his store the third day and
put him out Of business. He couldn't afford page
advertisement before that day. He has never been
able to afford month without one since.
"Rorabaugh's store has thrved on two principles:
First, getting the goods second letting the people
know about it,"
