Speak for Yourself, John!
How well the above word’s,
uttered many years ago, might
be parophrased to say “Think I'oi
yourself, John”!
Toil the average man on the
street today that ho doesn’t use
his grey natter for the purpose
it was originally intended and he
would be deeply insulted but
nevertheless it is, to an enorm
ous extent, only too true. How
many times do you hear a man
say “Sure its right. I saw it in the
p ipei ! ’. In other words it is bon
nd to be right because .someone
else thought it all out and had it
published.
How easily is the mind of man
swayed by the “honeyed” words
dripping from the tongue ot the
loquacious koau box’ orator. How
readily does he gu'p at the half
truth, which is worse than false
hood, thrown at him by the than
dering .politician seeking power
from his ability to sway the u 11th
inking mind, and the uiifunction
ing brain.
Just so soon as man will startto
reason things out in a logical
manner for himself, using the
thoughts expressed by others as
sign posts on the road of mental
development, then he will find
that he has ceased ta be the dupe
of some self seeking individual
who, when he has gained his ends,
chuckles up his sleeve and thinks
how “easy” they were.
Man is inclined to extremes
and especially is this noticeable
in politics. Having lined up with
a party a man will stick to it thr
ough everything; looking at the
bait thrown out to him, he will,
Adth one gulp swallow it hook
line and sinker. No movement is
without its fundamental prineip
les for the betterment of uiai
kind. Every creed has its roots
in some good soil but how often
does the growth decay! Ami just
so soon as man learns to sift tin
good from the bad and force the
rejection of the evil then will gov
ernmental troubles ce >si> and this
is only possible when man learns
to use his own mind instead of
letting someone else use it fori
him.
