The Elkhart Truth thinks the wo Id is growing better all the time. There is no doubt of it. The more intelligent people become the more certain they become that it pays to he good, or that "honesty is the best policy." However, something occasionally happens to lead the most of us to think that the world might safely grow better a little faster than it does. This strikes with keen emphasis when one is given the worst of it by one in whom he has had perfect confidence.
