Some things we lhiuk people do wo find later that Ihey do not do. Perhaps, that is Hie case with reading editorial articles. The average newspaper reader does nol discuss what he reads or at any rale not with Hie editor of a newspaper. Most of the readers'are not known lo him personally. And yet there is a feeling that they are par I of his big family and that he would like (o talk thing ,over with them if there was oily lime lo do so. Readers of this column are people of divergent views. Many do no agree with what is said. - Others agree 'only partially'.' It is impossible lo get anyone' who agrees with everything.

' Give Credit For Doing Good Work. n n small community like this, where people know a great deal about each other, it is ofleii difficult to gel credit for faithful work done. People ascribe all sorts of motives for I he actions of Iheir neighbors and Ihey are apt. to make light of their good ipialilies and emphasize their had ones. The one crime wilh many is lo ie successful, The successful person canuol be forgiven. If n person is wide awake lo the opportunities he is 0 grafler and if he makes money he cannot have done it honestly. 't;isionally a. local citizen has money because some relative has": died and left him some. If he shows that 'he is heller off than formerly, he al once becomes an object of suspicion People wonder where he got his money and al once begin to suspect graft.
