! A brute at Columbia City hired a horse to go seven miles and he actually diove ! him eightv without food or water. When ' found he was tied to a tree covered with : । welts and blind, and had lost 100 pounds jin weight. They are now hunting for ' the other brute. -Goshen News. If the other brute should be caught and quietly lynched probably no questions would be asked. Extremists Dangerous. To speak in plain terms the confused i mass of distorted statements and statis- • tics that is being published in the press I 'of the extreme type of both sides of the monetary question and echoed by speakers and writers is downright dishonesty reprehensible in the greatest degree, says the 'Toledo Bee. The extremists of both sides whose views and predictions will never be verified are enemies of business and are doing more harm than is possible did the actual and dreadful catastrophes that they predict overtake us, which is unlikely so long as the American people retain the good sense that has assorted itself so often in greater crises than it is now imagined confronts us. Don’t let us forget that we are friends and neighbors whose interests are inseparably linked so that one cannot suffer without the other being affected more or less. That which is detrimental to one portion of the community is necessarily injurious to the other. ^Ve may disagree as to the causes that bring about these disarrangements and as to the means to right them, but right or wrong all classes of the community and all conditions are affected the difference being only in the degree. The extremists and enthusiasts may be useful but they are not safe leaders when it comes to the ;>oint of action when the fatal step for good or evil must betaken. An engine pulling off steam can pull no more than when it is carry ing all the “head” necessary to do its work without waste energy. Noise is neither power nor argument necessa rily. It's safe t<> avoid the extremist on either side of a question as he is too liable to see but one side of it. His mind becomes warped and he looks at both right and wrong with glasses of the same Color. The hope and welfare of the people are safer in th" hands of the candid, conservative, fair minded man than with, the extremist who may be useful in arousing the public conscience but who is not a capable or trusted leader. Do not accept, much less act, upon fanatical advice. Pay no heed to the in temperate instructor. When informa tion is desired get it from sources upon which you can rely, and where there is no sinister motive behind it. Nine peo ph* out of ten really desire and aim to do what is right, but th" trouble is that it is the rule that the tenth man. whose purposes are far from being unselfishly patriotic, successfully influences the mind.
