tata nelt lence oe “This above all: To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, ‘Phou can’st not then be false to any man.” —Hamiet. In thinking of truth and in acting it in our daily lives we are apt to fall into a false way of regarding it as an attri bute of great things, a companion to great causes and works, The small lie, we argue, can do none any harm and may make the road sweeter or pleasanter for someone ; The little exaggeration, which will add interest and point to our telling of this or that happening, is harmless, we are pleased to think : Tt is true that as far as others are concerned these little infringements may not entail any of the penalties of falsehood But what of ourselves? What would men think of our comforting and our wit if] they knew both were born of falsehood? “What have the centuries thought of the men and women} who were true to themselves and in that way, through scorn and assault finally proved their truth to the best that was in men and matters? The truth that counts is that which is faithful to little things. It realizes the fact that before we can give anything we must in some way get it. So before we can be truthful to others we must be to ourselves, When we have achieved that, we have achieved a great work in the building of character.

EVEN the conservative New York Sun, a Taft organ, ad- mits that the Vermont election shows that T. R. may capture the electors there. THE Saturday Evening Post picks William H. Taft for a hopeless third in a certain race that is scheduled for the early part of November. MR. TAFT pronounces the budget clause in, one of the supply bills passed by congress unconstitutional and his ¢epart- ments are ordered to violate it. With the United States, su- preme court and presidents laying down the law, what's’ the use of congress? ONE of Taft's spellbinders in this state now, Congressman Fordney, says it’s all right to have a high tariff because “You can’t raise wages too high for me.” Of course Fordney’s wag can't be too high. But how about the workers in Massachusctts! who get $6 a week in the tariff-protected woolen mills? _—— == peceumnameroaler seers Sear | F Too gooD “Don't you think it is dreadful about all this graft business being discovered?” “Of course I do.
