GOVERNOR MOODIE S EXAMPLE
The decision of the supreme court of North Dakota, de
claring that Governor Moodie was ineligible to hold that high
office, was followed by the prompt acquiescence of the exe
cutive who called upon all citizens to cooperate with his suc
cessor.
We think the people of North Dakota are to be congrat
ulated upon this settlement of a controversy which looked
dangerous. Moreover, Governor Moodie deserves the
thanks of his own state and the nation as well for cheerfully
accepting the adverse decision, thus setting an example that
is worthy of praise and emulation.—Exchange
A SAP-HEADED ARGUMENT
Every once in a while some pacifist tells us about how
this country goes out into the world with a “peace pact in
one hand and fifteen new cruisers in the other."
We suppose they would have us trot out naked, and ex
pect our pacifist tendencies to keep any bad boy among the
nations from slapping us in the face. They would, we sup
pose, prefer that federal agents hunting gangsters, move to
ward them without guns but with nice smiles on their faces.
What the gangsters would do to the detectives is just
about what would happen to this country if it tried any such
foolishness.—Exchange
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Harold G. Hoffman, Governor of New Jersey, says:
“One of the greatest attributes in this world is to ‘always
be yourself’. The pompous, puffed-up personality would
come down to earth if he could occasionally peer into his
own thyroid gland.
“It is startling to contemplate that in the thyroid gland
there is a substance called thyroxin—three and one-half
grains of which substance is manufactured in a year’s time
—and this is all that stands between any of us and imbecility.
‘I never pass an asylum for mental cases that I do not
look upon them with grave reflection. What a satire on the
majesty of men!
“A. Conan Doyle once remarked: ‘Isn’t it a shocking
thing to think that a fine, noble fellow with every divine in
stinct can suffer some slight vascular change—the dropping
we will say of a minute spicula of bone from the inner table

of the skull on to the surface of the brain—and at once he
becomes a filthy, pitiable creature with every low and de
basing tendency.’ <
“I think this is the finest argument for all of us^to lead a
.good life—for all of us to ‘be ourselves’ at all times.”
A Washington newspaper man. working on the bank
ers’ convention there recently, lent a visiting banker taxi
cab fare without security. Now you see why newspaper
men so seldom build up a competence.—Exchange
When a thief in Fairbanks told the Judge that he stole
a pair of shoes for his mother-in-law, the judge replied:
“Greater love hath no man. You may go!”
It makes no difference what people think of you, or
what they do to you. The only thing that matters to you
is what you think, and what you do to others.
A city suffering from “lack of ambition is in a bad
way indeed.
Dirty streets, unsightly to look upon, should never greet
visitors to a city. It gives them an unfavorable impression
of the city and the people who live there.
“Newspaper advertising opens the door to increased
prosperity for every business,” so says James E. Barrett,
managing director of the Oklahoma Biltmore Hotel.
The rules of the sidewalk are the same as the rules of
the road—keep on the right side and keep moving.
Every dollar spend away from home makes the home
city that much poorer. Every dollar spent in the home city
makes it just that much richer.
It takes civic pride and a progressive community spirit
to make better cities.
No city can progress far on the Road of Progress as long
as there is constant friction between its citizens.
Many cities seem to be playing dead. Now is the time
for them to come to life.
In some sleepy cities many of the prominent citizens
only try to keep the home city about three jumps ahead of
failure; the rest of the citizens seem satisfied.
Many cities have a bunch of quitters, the kind of men
who quit before they start. What these cities need is a bunch
of good starters; men who are good stickers and good fin
ishers.
