CAMPAIGN TALK

1t is tribute to the intelligence of the
American people that they do not take
campaign talk too seriousl,, nor long hold
campaign whether national state or local,
many loose statements are made in the heat
of debate-even by persons who are ordi-
narily dignified and restrained.
After the election, most of the asper-
siors so freely made are forgiven and for
gotten. There are exceptions, of course,
especially among candidates and their lead
ing supporters. but the rank and file of citi-
zens generally lay aside their partisan feel
ings soon after the smoke of battle has
cleared away.
similar good-natured tolerance is
displayed toward those who make wild
predictions respecting the outcome of cleo
tons. The most preposterous claims OH the
part of political managers are passed over
after the actual results of campaign are
known. 1t is expected beforehand that
these managers will claim everything,
whether there is any reasonable basis for
their claims or not.
1t may be remembered that on the
eve of the 1912 election, Chairman Hills
confidently predicted the reelection of
President Taft, who carried only two states.
While this was the poorest prediction on
record, many before and since have been
almost equally absurd.
So, now that the campaign is over and
the verdict of the voters is in, we may we'll
forget for while that we are either repub-
licans, democrats or what not, and unite,
as good Americans all, in the task of re-
storing our beloved country to prosperity
and happiness.

THoUGHTLESs CRUELTY

A news dispatch tells of Teresa
Corona, of New York, IA years old and six
feet tall, who ran away from school and
home to get away from the ridicule of her
fellow pupils. Thoughtlessly her associates
have made her the victim of a heartless
tragedy.
1t was hard enough to bear the self
the childs abnormal size made inescapable,
but those who made her burden greater by
their derision were unspeakably cruel.
Many instances like this occur, where
some physical defect Or peculiarly of SEN
sitive persons is used as pretext to torture
quick. We read sometime ago of young
girl who finally committed suicide because
she had been driven to desperation by ridi-
ctile of her family name, which had sttg-
gestive meaning to evil-minded persons.
Children will seize upon such oppor-
tunities to harass their associates, some
times in spirit of fun, but often with
vicious intent While most parents would
disapprove of such conduct, many do not
take the trouble to explain to their children
how really cruel it is, or to appeal to their
better natures to induce them to refrain
from it.
Unnecessary infliction of mental suf-
fering is as bad or worse than infliction of
physical pain, and children should be
earnestly admonished to avoid both forms
of cruelty.

and was United States senator from that
state from 1870 until 1873. when he was
elected governor. His alleged favoritism to-
ward the negroes led to a serious riot in
Vicksburg. The legislature impeached him
in 1876. but the charges Were withdrawn
and he resigned. later returning to the
north. He was brigadier general during
the war with Spain.
Next to General Ames, the last Civil
War general was J. Warren Keifer of Ohio.
