WISE MEN.
It has bccn said that a wise
. man changes his mind , but that
a fool never docs. 'rlH' truth of
this statement is apparcnt. 'l'hc
wise man of tell years ago might
easily bc thc fool of today , if he
had Clever changed his mind dur-
ing' thc passing of thc dccadc.
The wise man of yesterday may
become thc fool of today because
hc has stubbornly refused to al-
low his opinions to correspond
with thc environment of circum-
stancc. So rapidly do conditions
gauge and ( new circumstanccs
materialize ; and new issues present -
sent themselves , that the mind of
man , in keeping abreast of , public
opinion , Must bc in an alt lOst
constant state of changc. For a
man to resist this change and set
his own judgmcnt 11P against thc
very process of evolution is to
brand himself as a fool. On thc
other hand , it is thc man who
seeks to keep in thc vanguard of
all evolutionary movcments and
is ready to change his mind as
often ? as is necessary in order to
maintain this position , who may
rightltill : ) bc called a wis man.
In 189 the free silver theory was
; vanccd and circumstances as
they existed at that time soon
. gave to this theory much popu-
larity. To many it sccmed to
point the way to a new epoch in
thc evolution of monetary
Rcicnce. \Vith an honest desire
3 to better conditions , they embraced -
cd the doctrine and gave it thc
hearty and courageous support
that is born of honest conviction.
i fJ' itiie has proven that the theory
was UnS011lH1 and the great majority -
jority of its adherents have : done
as wise men should do-chang'cd
their minds. 'f lee time has pas-
t Rcd when a man is a democrat or
I a republican because such was thc
political faith of his father. If
a roan were to say , "I am a republican -
publican ( or a democrat ) and believe -
lieve as my father forty years
'
ago , " his political judgmcnt
would carry with it but slight
wcight. Time man whose judg-
ment is rccog'nizcd as conservative -
tive , is thc man who forms opin-
ions for himself , changes his
mind as often as is ncccssary and
is not ashamed to declare that hc
has lone so. It tales courage
sonic times to admit that you
have been in thc wrong. Such
mcn as may not bc able to iLpprc-
ciatc your motives will probably
ridicule you , forgetting that a
wise . man changes his mind , but
that a fool never docs. Politics
constantly afford instances of mcn
changing their minds from hon-
est conviction and in every case
these men represent thc most
powerful and aggrcsi t
in the movement with which they
have become allied and arc con-
stantly proving thc statement
that a wise man sometimes
changes hi : , mind , but a fool never -
'
cr docs.

Time only objection wc can see
to college fraternities is that thc

It is not surprising that a lot
of mcn who have been dodging
taxes for years should try to
dodge a law against dodging.

'rowns as wcll as individuals
can ill afford to neglect opportu-
nitics. If the brick plant prop-
osition proves to bc all right
Falls City shou1 l have it. The
brick plant will help to advertise
thc town , and thc more thc town
is advertised thc store opportu-
nitics it will have to secure other
terpriscs.

The Russians seem to believe
in the motto to the effect that hc
who fights and runs away will
live to fight 'anothcr day. Time
trouble with them however , is
that they never succccd in run-
ning fast enough nor far enough.

- mon-
ey question will not bc dragged

campaign. 't he money that used

now on dcposit in thc banks and
there is at present , no occasion
for a restoration of con fidcncc.

We notice that Harry Swallow
has assumed complete control of
thc Sterling ccord. We met
lvIr. Swallow several years ago
when hc was principal of hc
schools at Harvard , Neb. , and
from thc impressions gained at
that time , we are con vinccd that
the Record has passed into good
hands.

In President Roosevc1 book ,
" ' ' . ' lie Strenuous Life , " this scn-
tence occurs : "Not only ] every
politician , high or low , but every
citizen interested in politics , and
especially every man who , in il
newspaper or 011 thc stump , advocates -
vocates or condemns any public
policy or any public man , should
remember always that thc two _ .r
cardinal points in his doctrine 1-
ought to bc , Thou shalt not '
steal , ' and " Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neigh- ,
bor. ' Hc should also , of course , .
remember that the multitude of
mcn who break the moral law expressed -
pressed in these two command-
ments arc not to be justified because -
cause they keep out of thc clutches -
es of the human law , " Commit 1 ,
this quotation to memory and :
make it a part of your political
creed , and you will hc doing your
part toward thc purification of (
poli tics.

Whooping Couh. ; 1
In thc spring 1901 my child- * -
ren had whooping cough , " says
l\'lrs. D. \1. Capps of Capps , Ala
"I used Chambcrlains _ Cough
Remedy with the most satisfa'ct- ;
ory results. I think this b the "
Lest rcn1Pdy I have ever used for
whooping cough. " 'l"his remedy
keeps the cough loose , lessens
the severity and frequency of the
coughing spells and counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia.
