Just “what is in it” for the perpetrators of such devilment must surely be known to themselves alone. It id impossible for any benefits to “accrue to them from such despicable meanness, and they are not made one cent richer thereby. The elec- tric company will for a few dollars répair the dam- age and no one has been’ inconveniénced “by the mischief dotie. Then, who is benefitted? has profited by the devilment done? No one at all. Any individual who would deliberately injure busses belonging to a public utility concern would do damage to any other property that -afford- ed opportunity, regardless of ifs ownership, value or usefulness. The sooner such characters as these are comb- ed out of the population of a dity; “the: better and safer it will be for the community : unfortunately infested by them. HIGH TEMPER AND Pistors * The greatest’ menace to’ society ‘t8day is’ the” combination formed by an’ uncontrollable temper and a pistol, revolver, or anything batiorind referred to as a“‘gat” or “gun.” 3 jae £ x In a paroxysm of rage a shot ds Jobat a life is snuffed out; and a ‘human-’being- becomes a- murderer. ‘The shame and sorrow that.the tragedy brings to hearts innocent of crime add the more to the pity of the picture. A high temper is often hereditary’ ho may be difficult to control under stress of extreme” “tests. But a pistol is at this day and time the ‘most use- less thing made in America. thing a pistol is good for is to get men into trouble. There are but few instances of record where a pistol has been effective as ‘a meahs ‘of defense. There are, thousands: and thousinds of men behind prison bars with the ignominous. brand of Cain upon their brows, who would be free and per- haps honorable men today ie iiie Soibea. a0 ever ready pistol. Arthur. Baker would nbt now be facing a lifetime of hard Jabor in the state prison if he hadn’t had a. pistol handy on a recent Sunday af- terngon.

They feel that if they seek to conciliate, it will look as if they felt their weakness. Whereas by taking an ‘attitude of independent strength, with a certain disregard for the aneities of their relations, people become a little afraid of what they are going to do, and \will yield to them to avoid trouble. Employers of labor may feel that if they con- sult with their help too much, the latter may get the idea that they can put things aver on the con- cern, and that it will not stand.up for its rights And the worker may follow a similar line, con- sidering that if they give the imprecs‘on.that they are more or leas dissatisfied and about to blow up in some outbreak, the company will: do more to Please them. The same spirit is seen in the revelations of married people. It is sometimes referred to as “caveman stuff.” Some men think that by asser- tion of personal strength, the woman, as the weaker member of the matrimonial partnership, will be disposed to give way. Many of thém have been greatly un on that point of’ late. The modern woman, if respectfully and considerately trated, will usually “stand without hitching,” but it will take a very powerful tether to hold her on j the opposite basis. The “treat ’em rough” theory is behind the age.
