TOLERANCE
At a time like the present when
the entire world is torn with con
flicting emotions and rent with
strife it is well occasionally to
Kive a thought to tolerance to
that mental quality which ena
bles us to allow our neighbor to
hold and express an opinion at
variance with our own without
condemning him offhand to so
cial ostracism, jail or an intro
duction to a blank wall and a fil
ing squad.
We are prone to allow our
selves to become so carried away
witii a belief in the infallibility
of our own pet opinions and the
ories thai we are often unable to
take a genuinely unbiased view
ol our neighbor s altitude on a
friven proposition.
The right of free speech by no
means carries with it an unbrid
led license to inoulge in blasphe
mous, profane, obscene or sedi
tiouB utterances in public but it
may safely be said that the con
stitutional right of free speech is
somewhat abridged when any
law-abiding citizen is prevented
from expressing an honest opin
ion on any public question thro'
tear of social ostracism or worse
Many newspapers and public
speakers seem to be of the opin
lor that it is ennm al lor a
citizen t criticii any notion
or policy of the government be
cause we are at war. Such a po
aition indicates neither good
senHC nor good patriotism. Gov
ernment officials are only human
beings and, like the rest of us,
they are apt to make mistakes
and if the people of a Republic
are to be denied the rujht to dis
upptov i n mistakes ot their
public servants they are getting
dangerously near to autocracy
Ever) body knows that mistakes
have been made by every country
engaged in the war. England
made many in the first year and
frankly admtsit. Certainly mis
takes have been made in ourown
country, the shipbuilding muddle
being one case in point.
Intolerance is an evil that is
not confined to any particular
class of people. High and low,
rich and poor, learned and ig
norant are liatile to its infec
tion. The anarchistic soap-boxer
rants at capital and everything
pertaining to organized society
and wants to bomb all such from
off the eurth; the capitalist and
bi e niilovr rants at labor
unions and does everything pos
sible to crush them even to the
employment of murderous gun
men to burn and kill as w as done
at Ludlow. The pacifist is often
intolerant of the opinions of
those who ditTer with him and
Home patriots are apt to glory fy
war as a divine institution and to
crucify the man or woman who i
doesn't glorify it and w ho dares
to voice a contnuy opinion.
Some civilian in bursts of pat
riotic fervor assert that all who
are not- a. noisily patriotic a
themselves should be oeia!ly o. i
tracized if not shot. This rather
drastic measure, however, is not
interned during the continuance
of the war.
Military men, perhaps more
than civilians, realize what the
de3th penalty means and are not
anxious to invoke it except in ex
treme cases. Is it possible that
our military men, trained to the
horrors of war, schooled in rigid
discipline, clothed with almost
autocratic power in their field,
keenly alive to the true meaning
of patriotism, jealous of anything
and everything that might in the
slightest degree jeapordize their
country's safety or dishonor her
flag, should be called upon to
teach civilians the need for tol
erance in speech and action the
righteousness of tempering jus
tice.with mercy?

ure as it will affect things of

Palmyra, Mich. Mrs. Chas. T. Ful
ler, of this place, -writes: "In 1911 I
got run-down, and I suffered great
pain... with both dull and sharp
shooting pains... also back and head.
I was weak and could only drag
around, and should have been in bed, i
for I really wasn t able to be up. At
times I would have spells that would
be so bad I'd have to go to bed, and
suffered Intensely. . .
I decided to try Cardui, and saw a
great Improvement in less than a
month's time. I used 7 or 8 bottles
and was stronger... I got so much
better that my strength returned and
my work was easy for me. Cardui did
me a world of good. It built me up In
health and strength. I haven't had one
of those bad spells since. 1 haven't
had to ta!;e any more medicine since
or have any doctors either and have
been sble to do my work right along
...I recommend it to other women
highly as the best medicine I know
of for women who suffer from female
trouble."
If vou suffer from female troubles,
follow this advice. Get a bottle of
Cardui today and give it a thorough
trial. It Bhould help you, as it has
helped thousands of other women in
the past 40 years. At all druggists.
