(Continued on Page 4.)
Speak Kindly.
You should never st>eak unkindly
words.
For words so often make wounds,
Down in the heart of some one,
As you know they'll wander
around.
Sometime sneech is m. unkind, t
When it does not come from the
heart.
Still it travels from one to an
other,
And pierces liken dart.
Oft times the wounds are not so
deep.
But thev will always irritate,
While you think it harmless gos
sip.
Yet ruin will be youi fate,
So keep your tongue clear of false
O^sUrider of anv kind.?
Let no ^thought of sin ever-enter
heart,
Or even cross your mind.
If you've a friend in this sinful
world, 1
Who lias many faults of his ^wn,
Qo speak to him words of comfort,
To liira and him alone.
Simply tell him face to face,
You are sorry his troubles to
know.
That you're willing to li^lp him
conquer, ?
This long and deadly foe.
Then lie will feel that you are one
On whom he can depend
For oft a few words of kindness,
Will have a glorious end.
And then you'll feel you're reward
ed. '
For the kind deed you have done,
And every one will love you.
For their heart you've already won.
For there's always shadows along
the way ' -
With plenty of sorrow and woe,
So always try to be kind and true.
Scattering sunshine where ere
you go.

ter [the Convention adjourned
The entrance of Mr. Mitchell
promises to create one of the
most exciting contests of this

is widely known and prominent in
financial, industrial and political
circles. He stands squarel.v be
hind the policies of the Wilson
administration, particularly on
the questions of national preistr
ednesa and our foreign relations,
and his friends believe that be
will defeat Mr. Kitchin, whose po
sition on these questions, like Bry
an's. has produced discord in the
official family. However that
may be, the chances are that a
whirlwind campaign will be wag
ed during the next forty days.
Mr. Mitchell is a born orator, a
forceful speaker, and a powerful
debater. He is a deep student of
political economy, and an authori
ty on national affairs. Moreover,
