IDEALS | OF TODAY:Senator Burton of Ohio is one ol ■the big men of the nation and in a, i strong, well written and readable story ■ ietitled "American Ideals of Today,”] published in the Chicago Herald he ’gives some valuable advice, closing • ■thus: Another question is. What is popular I | opinion? It is not the voice of the I noisiest and most clamorous, or the dt-1 imand of the most selfish and insistent. j It is rather the opinion of the more | ■quiet and undemonstrative. It can- [ not be said that the ocean is compos-1 led solely of the few breakers that [pound noisily on the shores: it is rather the great, quiet depths beneath, lof which we are so sternly reminded jby some great tragedy. And after all I the unthinking are but a minority of the public. Despite the insistepce of pessimists and cynics, the world is undoubtedly improving. The change is manifest 'even in individual character. In the days of our fathers there was likely to be little distinction between profession and conduct. There was little ' independence of thought, and men showed more unquestioned faith in the ’opinions of those elected to positions Joi honor and authority. The frivolities

land amusements of life were frowned ’upon, particularly by those of strong secular convictions. Our views have become more liberal und more reasonI able, and despite occasional outbursts of emotional hysteria we are growing better und stronger. But no one hus a patent upon this uplift. It belongs to the logic of the times. The people as a whole are sound and intelligent, and above all they have a strong sense of justice. They will not be long led astray by the faker, nor will they tolerate indefinitely the humbug. The traditions of the American people are sound, and their ideals endure when the dynasties of old are decayed and forgotten. I Even that restlessness which is char'acteristic of our people furnishes the basis for the most helpful progress. i The philosopher Pascal once said that two-thirds of the troubles of this . world were due to man's inability to sit still in a room. But it is this same I restlessness that has furnished the I basis of our ambition and accomplishtnents as a nation and as a people. IWe are now' devoting this tremendous i energy of ours and less to the attainment of the things that are physical and material, and more toward securing justice for our fellow men, and equality of opportunity and happiness i for those who by chance are born to the lesser things of life. All men cannot be capitalists or statesmen or leaders in the professinos; but all men can at least lead honorable lives and merit the esteem of such a eulogy. While others are fond of pronouncing benisons upon triumphal achievement, I have often wished that sortie genius might appear to prepare a panegyric upon the un- . successful man. Friends of the present county ad-

ministration are trying to defend the long list of extravagant county ex ] penses published In the last issue. They claim that these expenses are legitimate because they are for work I done during previous years that had i not been paid for. This explanation ’ if true, still shows poor management. Why not keep the county accounts I up-to-date like every well managed , ’ business (Inn does? —Benie Witness. ’ Another case of dense ignorance. ‘ Until a year ago the money due on ] • work done on roads could not be t drawn until the road was completed I and the bonds sold. The new law - provided for the payment of these old bills some of which have been on file - many years and the law was passed 3 that this business system which the • Witness suggests might be inaugur--1 ated. » M®KSS3E£XXXXX*.w<XXXI<>t<XMXXX>’. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY j WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. s Wednesday.
