the days would be filled with joy and pleasure. If this
storekeeper would stop talking about what his contem­
porary was doing or what he didn’t do it would be so
much more tempting to visit the stores If one denomina­
tion would praise the other, the spirit of brotherly love
would prevail to a larger extent. If a little more charity
was shown the other fellow our pillow at night would
be softer to our heads. If we were all broadminded
enough to forgive, to trust a little, to ignore the filthy
gossip concerning neighbors—how smoothly the every­
day details of business and society would run. If “frame-
ups” were all forgotten and made impossible, if all politi­
cal fights, all religious fights, all city fights were put on
the shelf never to again be uncovered—say, wouldn’t we
all feel like cracking our heels together and yelling.

as long as they make them so, their soul as pure as any
soul as long as kept that way. Sneaking, gumshoing, talk
ing, knocking, and continually trying to get something
on the other fellow will either stop in this town and
other towns or all will suffer and continue to suffer from
a discontent that has prevailed since the war.

In Grants Pass a minister is manager of the baseball
team, and he has invited all the other ministres to the
Sunday afternoon ball games—promising a good game,
good order, no swearing, bad language, etc. It has been
argued that the games in the p. m. will not interfere with
church service in the a. m. The many autos are taking
people away from church both morning’s and evening's
without complaint from ministers. Well, how would it
work if the ball team all attended church Sunday morn­
ing and the church and ministers attended the games
Sunday afternoons.

have learned differently now.
Certain employers of labor have acted on this philos
ophy for many years. They feel that if they show a
friendly and helpful spirit toward their employes, the
latter may think the company is afraid of them, and they
will become more restive than they would under a firm
hand. Employes are sometimes swayed by a like spirit
which was rather common for some time directly aitei
the war. They seemed to think that if they made a menac­
ing show of unrest, they could win more concessions.
This philosophy seems based on the conception that if
people seek very friendly and harmonious relations, it
looks like a confession of weakness, and lack of confi­
dence in their ability to control a situation. Whereas, by
an attitude of personal assertion, with some disregard
for the amenities of human relations, people are supposed
to become a little fearful of them, and disposed to yield
to their demands to avoid trouble.
But people who are treated rough have a way of com­
bining and retaliating. The workmen who are treated
rough frequently “walk out,” and leave the helpless em­
ployer fuming in his silent workrooms.
The employers who are treated rough often put in la*
bor saving machines, which never go on strike if properly
oiled and cleaned.
The wives who are treated rough have a way of going
home to the old folks, and taking up the former jobs that
gave them more money than they ever saw in matrimony
And even husbands are treated rough. Not much use in
these times for them to try to boss their wives, but clubs
and lodges furnish an impregnable retreat for certain
consolations.
And now the real political campaign starts.
