THE COURIER. 11 -LETTERS TO "GUEENUOY ." I f Your queetiong, boiled down to oows- ipnr dimensions, rcduco themselves to bout this: You desire to wreBtlo with iiblic life or, in other words, to plunge ito politics. To this is coupled an rdont desire to remain honest. The iiestion arises whether to array yourself rlth the republican party or onliBt in 10 democratic army. The matter of honesty is ensily set- Jo'J. To remain honest in public lito is aaaiblc. All one has to do is not to be 9r salo. As to parties: Not long ago a socialist Bcturor of notohad this to say: "The epublican party has sevonty per cent the brains of this country, but is WBpected of beinc in league with con- Bntrated wealth in the hands of the imperatively few. The democrats row sympathy with the toiling masses ad their needs, but lack brains." TbiB kmo lecturer aleoBaid that third party ivements and gatherings of tnalcon atfl generally, were worse than futile. lird parties are absolutely inelTctivo thia country. Its adherents are ireamors. They do not convert thought to action. Many individuals in pri- Uto life paddlo the same canoe. That l, they do not paddle at all. They Ho Dwn in tho bottom of the boat and Slow it to drift. s'For better or for worse wo must rust to one or the other of our two reat parties. : Regard for the majesty of truth com- Is me to say that progressive and ag- Iressive policies originate with the re- iblican party. The democrats stand r conservatism, wnen iney nappbn ' make a desperate attempt to appear Ileal, as exemplified in the Chicago itform of 18!)G with its cabalistic ratio ! 1G to 1, they are always grotesque. Che dear old lady doe3 not mean it. be is only tiirting witn ner ran. n juld be a grievous mistake to take her riouely. She extola the virtues of her icient idols Messrs Jefferson and ickson and fails to understand that live in a ditleren: age, which ac- bunts for the fact that she cannot rid Ireolf permanently of political priori- bb batched in the dayB of Christophor Dlumbus. 3omo flxod phrases aro uaod lu politi- warfare to which I invite your at ition. "The crime of '73," is a fair aple. "Waving the bloody shirt," happily passed into oblivion. Phese patent expressions need not lerve you from the path of rectitude. fcey are meaningless, perfectly harmlesb may be taken in large doses without 11 effects.

Why don't you advise your wife to save her money for a rainy day? She does not need it then. She never goes shopping when it's wet." I-aw-bad-bwain-fevah-larsteummah. Indeed; where did you have it? Hero's the bill for my bathing suit my dear. Well, well, well! it's the little things that count. Grewitt seemB to know the ropes. It's horedity my boy. His grand father was hanged.

I don't believe in saying mean things about a man behind his back. It's generally safer than saying them before his face. To be able to play a star part in the drama of life a man must be managed by a woman. "Will you show us no quarter, sir?1' pleaded the captain of the captured merchantman. "Sorry," replied Captain Kidd, "but our quarter master 1b on his vacation at. present." Ethel George is teaching me to ride a bicycle.
