THE HEAL FOUNDER OF THE
HOUSE OF GOVERNORS.
Proctor W. Hansl writes in Hu
man Life for October: "When the
governors of thirty-one states, as
sembled in tho second of those re
markable conferences at Washing
ton, were nbout to bring their pro
ceedings to n close, ono of their num
ber arose and addressed tho body in
these words:
" 'Mr. Chairman, Just ono other
matter. I do not wish to Intrude up
on the patience of this conference',
but thoro is one gentleman who has
given much thought, in a very mod
est way, 10 1110 uovernors meeting.
who has tried to lend an element of
useful Influence to the affairs of the
country. I refer to Mr. Jordan, who
Is present.
" 'As we do not pass resolutions
about any one, I will simply say a
few words in regard to him. Mr.
Jordan Is tho first man who brought
out the Idea of a meeting of the
Governors. He wrote to the Presi
dent before Mr. Roosevelt Invited the
Governors to come to Washington'
for their first conference. I desire
to express In this way appreciation
of a great deal of patriotic and use
ful thought on the part of this gentle
man who is not n governor. Ho is1 a
Very modest man, but I really think
that every one of us is considerably
indebted to him for what he has done.
He had a useful idea, nnd ideas run
tho world, and that idea has brought
us together. Therefore, I am glad
to make this little tribute to his
work.'
"So spake Governor of Kentucky,
and in so saying he created a situa
tion that was unique in more ways
than one.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
"In speaking of a person's faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin,
'TIs better to commence at home.
And from that point begin.
"We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fnlrly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world Is wide.
Some may have faults and who has
not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
"I'll tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full well,
To try my own defects to cure
Ere others' faults I tell;
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some I know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.

"The spirit of unrest and develop

due to , the 'qrizy conceit and the
dictation of demagogues.' "
"The future depends not on ora

"Tho citizen must wear honesty as
his closest garment, and be ashamed
to make It a boast or to Haunt It as

"True virtue Is not a matter of
money or social rank, certainly not
of noisy pretense or harangues on
the hustings. It has its home In
cabin and cottage as well as in villa

It is taught at the mother's knee
better than In excited crowds."
"Thus the reliance of free Institu
tions is on the common people.
Their thought, their sense, their con
victions, must control society and
government. They will heed ad
vice, warning, rebuke, appeal, but
they spurn command, compulsion,
the insolence of dictation."
"Doubtless snarling cynics and
critics have their use in the bene

best paper in the county. A good
many people have that opinion.
