W ithout doubt, B e n j a m i n
F ranklin ha« been the source for
more anecdotes and sto n es th a n
any oth er g rea t A m erican w ith
the possible exception of A braham
Lincoln. A t any rate, there is one
told of the early colonial inventor;
printer, and diplom at which has
alw ays been a favorite of mine
becuse the lesson implied is ju st
as applicable today as it was then.
It seems th a t F ranklin had a
close friend of long standing
whom he weekly invited to nis
home for an evening of chess.
Invariably, though, the two elder
ly gentlem en during the evening
would g et involved in argum ent
about som ething or oth er as older
men w ith fixed ideas are wont to
do.
F ranklin, being the more brill
iant man and the mort adept in
the use of language would em erge
the victor practically every' in
stance. One evening a fte r a p arti-
cu laily hectic verbal battle during
which F ranklin upset his compan
J ion's logic a t ©very turn, th?
friend, a Q uaker, ro-e in a hurf
and asked for his h a t and coat.
Going out the door, he turned
! to his host and softly said, “Ben-
) jam in, tonight thou hast won an
I argum ent but in doing so h ast
lost a friend”. And he spoke truly,
for never again did he en ter
i F ran k lin 's home.
The sto ry is typical of m any
an antic of today. For it would
seem th a t too m any men are leas
concerned w ith w inning friends
than they are tiy in g to influ
ence people. In a constant effort
to talk down the other fellow,
| they forget principle> and woulJ
ra th r win an argum ent though
wrong, than adm it defeat.
Personally, in my later years 1
I have avoided argum ent unless it
| were in a good cause and pos
sessing possibility for being an
■ agent of accom plishm ent I have
come to feel th a t too much of
' today's arg u m en ts are based ort
j supposedly au th o ritativ e s ta te
m ents released to the yopulae»
by addle-pated propogandists who
are more interested in feeing th eir
i moronic mouthing« in pi'-nt than
I they are in ever being held ac
countable.
