THE GENEROUS
OPPONENT
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University Of
Illinois.

It was Abraham Lincoln who used
10 say that one never lost anything
in conceding to an enemy or to an OPP
ponent everything that 1t was pos
sible truthfulIy to grant. One only
made his own case stronger, he held,
when he admitted that the opposing
side had merit, but showed that in
spite of its claim to attention his own
case was the stronger.
There were some hot political con-
tests in our community last spring,
and though heard much discussion
cannot now recall anything compli-
mentary that was said by any candi-
date relative to his opponent. From
the standpoint of all the. speakers
heard the opposing candidates were
all little better than thieves and liars.

Of the legal sheet, but inadvertently
left the tail of a comma. Further in
yestigation showed that the blank on
which the fake will was drawn had
been printed in October, 1924, while
the will was dated q month earlier.

at whose home he had been living for
years, and William Weeks, divers
chauffeur, confessed they had wit

pleaded guilty of forgery. Weeks and
Miss Drummond were freed.
After he had been in prison several
months, the real Oliver will was pro-
bated and revealed requests of only
$4,000, instead of the $250,000 Cowles
had expected would be his. To Cowles
was left $3,S67, but he never received
a cent because of his legal expenses
