This .Js wrong. Every citizen, man or woman, should register and should vote. It maks no difference what ones politics are, they should exerise the right of suffrage. If the voters would study political questions more and exercise their rights in this respect, it would be but a short time ere the government of the country wohld be improved to a marked degree. Truth hopes that every voter, no matter which party he or she belongs to, will go and register on the last day of registration and that they will vote at the election as their consciences dictate. commended several business men of the city for by the stand it took last week in relation to snide insurance companies and their questionable methods of doing business in this state.

A man fitted to teach others keeps cherishing his old knowledge while continually acquiring new. The mind of .the superior man is conversant with righteousness, while the mind of the mean man is conversant only with gain. The cautious seldom err. Virtue will not bo left to stand alone; where it is practiced it will have neighbors. What is the good of being ready with the tongue? Men of smartness of speech procure for themselves hatred. What I do not wish men to do to me I wish also not to do to them. It is difficult to be esteemed in tho present age without, glibuess of tonguo and beauty of person. With coarse rice to cat, with water to drink, and my bended arm for a pillow, I have still joy in life: Riches and honor acquired unrighteously arc to me as naught. Is virtue a thing remote? I wish to be virtuous, and lo! virtue is at hand. Respectfulness without sincerity becomes laborious bustle.
