TELLING THE TICITll.
The school books say honesty is
the best policy. And that includes
truth-telling.
And yet how hard it is always and
under all circumstances to tell the
truth "and nothing but the truth."
It is frequently a hard job to tell
the truth without hurting somebody's
feelings. And if that somebody is a
person whose good will one does not
relish losing, ttlling the truth under
such circumstances is just that much
harder.
Hence silence often conies as a welcome
aid.
The Chronicle frequently is in a
position to weigh the harm and the
good that straightforward truth-telling
might do. Don't say, reader, that
telling the truth never does harm. No
one knows more accurately than an
editor that the bald truth may sometimes
do more damage than a lie.
Tbere most certainly arc times wneii
silence is golden.
Many persons are of the opinion
that public prints should never be
silent when startling truth might be
told. In this connection, however,
they always think of somebody else,
never of themselves.
It is the same way with a newspaper.
The Chronicle would be the
talk of the town if it valued the naked
truth more than discretion and honor.
The truth sometimes is a f:ine thing
never to repeat.
MAKING PEOPLE THINK.
One of the most difficult feats in
the world is to get people to THINK.
Man's God-given brain distinguishes
him from the animals, but too few
of us use our upper stories. They are
like empty garrets?cold and hot in
turn, never right.
It is the rovince of the public
prints to make people THINK. This
is done in various ways. A plain
statement of fact will make a person
think, as well as will an editorial.
People who read usually think most
and are most capable of thinking
nationally. ,

' Is that the reading habit is curtailed
by developments of the last decade.
One doesn't need to read a library
to enable one to think intelligently.
He thinks best who reads carefully
and reflects much.

worth while.

Home Merchant A Personal Friend.
One of the strongest argument in
favor of the home merchant is that
he is a personal friend to his cus
tomers.
His ADVICE is worth money. He
thni(Highly knows the goods he trades
in and is in a position to tell prospective
buyers to watch ont for.
As a matter of fact, he INSTRUCTS
the public. Most of us got our entire
