There war once n man whose name became linked with the Kolden rule. He believed In It. He had it lettered on a slg-n and bunp In his machine, shop where his employes could see It. Not only that, but lie lived by it. I'eople tried In every way to account for such an eccentricity. Some people said he did It to be queer. Some said that he thougrht It would bring him fame. Some said that he was a little bit demented. They dld not for a long time lielicve that he did it because he thought that the rule If applied would work out to the solution of the problems that troubled mankind. Labor troubles? They are as old as the captivity of the Jews in Kgypt. Domestic troubles? They are as old as the forgotten glories of Cleopatra and Antonv and Caesar. Race troubles? They are as old as the picture of a pre historic mammoth scratched by un un usually talented man-creature on a tusk of Ivory when he and his tribe fought other creatures to protect his hunting preserve.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Incorporated) Yet, for. more thousands of years than It is euny to count, the old earth has had in one form or another the prln- linle to have followed which would, some believe, have done away with these difficulties and brought us out into the light of a broader, fuller day than we have us yet imagined. The gentle rjrouhet of Naxareth believed It. nnd gave it as a formula for good living Ftuddha believed It and told his disci ples that it would suffice for an hon orable life, tjonructus penevca it, ana ihoneht it would work. "As ye would that men should do unto you." It sounds easy. It sounds even practicable. But do we believe II? Do we live It? It is easy to see that to follow it would do away with some things that now confront us. Risque plays on the stage would have to be suppressed for awhile. Novels dealing with subjects that we do not wish our sons and daughters to be confronted with would for the time being- lapse into desuetude. 'hildren would be taken out of mills and factories and be told to run and shout nnd play. Girls working at trades and under conditions which barely keep soul (what is left of it) and a too fee ble body together would not have to sell themselves in order to get decent gar ments and enough to eat. The business of court would cease be cause there would be no murders and w-lfe-bcatings and scandals. Boys would not be tempted to ruin in gay saloons and poolrooms. All the little children all over the world would have enough to eat if we lived the golden rule, or the rule that Cliarles Battell Ioomls proposes. Be as good as we could be. All of us. Golden-rule Jones, formerly mayor of Toledo. Ohio, and Tolstoi and the ancient prophets would have with them g goodly company. Boodlers and grafters and dlvekeepers nd men who prosper on the ruin of their fellows would be In the company, and then all the rest of us. It is a wonderful thought for the Christmas season. Just to be as good is we could be, or, in other words, "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them. W Daily Menu. ; BRKAKFA.KT. Quaker Oats. Pigs In blankets.
