President Roosevelt's suggestion

A wave of suicide seems to In*
sweeping over the country. Almost
every paper has one or more accounts
of such tragedies. Nodouht
many of these cases are the result of
insanity. The others are largely
the product of cowardice. It is not
a brave thing for a man to deliberately
put an end to his own life. It
is anyth'ng but brave. A man,
faced by his own evil doings, puts
an end to his lif<*. Why? Because
he is too great a coward to face his
own .acts.

"Johnson Davis, colored, was
shot and killed by Love Knight at

North Carolina side of the state line
Wednesday. It is said that thenwas
no provocation for the shooting
and that Knight shot the inoffensive
negro, without oven a word, because
he did not have anything else to
shoot at. Knight figured in the
recent killing of .lulo Combs in his
barroom. Ile was probably drunk

BETTER STAY ON A FARM.
The writer was riding in a buggy
a few days ago in company with a
young man who is working every
day on his father's farm. The young
man had his dreams, for in the
course of conversation he told of his
desire to U- a physician. He is a
bright young fellow, and has attended
school enough to have laid
the foundation for a college course.
r many no said: What do you
think of a Ijoy's chance on the
farm?" The answer was, "Good,
very good, if he will hut go about it
to l?e a leader; if he will take an
acre of ground and make it grow
more pea-vines than an acre ever
grew before, he will l>e doing something
that is altogether worth while.'
The young man replied: "That's
so, and it is such a free life, even if
the work is hard."
Several things have come to mind
since that conversation; the sumptuous
country dinner, for one thing.
It was a dinner of tender turnip
salad, baked wild duck, baked chicken,
eggs, butter, buttermilk,creamy
biscuit, canned peaches and cake.
Anyway these were some of the articles
on the table in that country
home. And it was good! All of it
...
was good. It is impossible to forget
to bring in the question of good,
t 1 * 1
niKiidouiiir iwn, pure n?wr aim
pure air in this question of staying
I on the farm or of leaving it for tht
life of the physician. Better sta>
on the farm. In the long run it
will afford more real contentment
and a U tter living.
PRESENT DEFEAT THAT
TAXES THE FUTURE
Theie are crises in the life of
every human soul that are, at the
time regarded very lightly, and
that the future years alone serve tc
fully manifest. When a man meet*
such experiences and the Battle
goes against him it is with the recurring
years that he Begins to see
how great his defeat was. Such
1
"i 7 ~~ . ~ f
i experiences go on each year levying
} their full share of taxes. A man
i is brought face to face with some
j business transaction in which he
? fails to measure up to the full
i standard of honesty. It was, at
. the moment regarded a very little
i thing. Hut it left a thorn in his:
i flesh that from time to time makes
itself felt. The longer it remains
s the more it makes itself felt. It
> was only a little sharp practice on
, his part, but that sharp practice i
left a thorii that has a constantly
) increasing sting. All his lifetime it
i! keeps on rankling and takes the
.1 keen edge of enjoyment off of many
. la blessing that life brings to him.
It forces itself upon his notice at
the most inopportune times. It
I causes him to lose courage in many
succeeding battles that, upon every
count, should bring him victory, i
but do not. The man who was
wronged may never have discovered
| it, but that makes little difference,
i I Whenever that man crosses the
I pathway of the guilty man, the
thorn is set in motion and pierces
t, deeper and deejx r.
It is possible that a man, by
>j some sharp practice, lays the.
, foundation of financial success. j
> The money gained works, as money
. should, to make more money. But
i; the sorry victory is but a poor com- )
> | peusation for the lifetime conscious- (
ness that the foundation was laid in
! dishonor. If we could but know
II how much we lose by defeat, by J
I surrender of principle, by yielding J
j to the wrong! If we could but see i
' tli** inexorable demand that such a;
yielding makes upon the future! j
Then, indeed, we would have more'
courage to meet the crises and win
the victory that follows.
