There is a structure wh ich every institution builds for
itself. It is called character, and every act is a stone in
' this stucture.
An institution, in order to have a good character, must
think honestly, act honestty, breathe honesty. The
people soon determine between the genuine and the
counterfeit. They know the ring of the true metal
and the base.

The following recently appeared in
a country weekly:
“We are not pessimistic, and are
right well pleased, thank you, with
America, and its institutions, as a
whole. But we cannot but help to
recognize the aptness of some things
said in an address made to the Filip
inos in response to a toast made sev
eral years ago. ‘You Filipinos don’t
know what you’re missing by not
wanting to become citizens of this
grand country of ours. There isn’t
anything like it under the sun—the
land of the free, land of hundreds and
hundreds of fine churches, and thous
ands of licensed saloons, Bibles, forts
and guns, millionaires and paupers,
theologians and thieves, liars, politic
ians, poverty, Christians and chain
gangs, schools and scalawags; trusts
and tramps, money, misery, homes and
hunger, virtue and vice; a land where
you can get a good Bible for 15 cents
and a drink of whiskey for the same
gress with three wives and a lot in
the penitentiary for having two wives;
where some men make sausage out of
their wives and somt who want to
eat them raw; where we make bolog
na out of dogs, canned beef out of
horses and sick cows and a corpse out
of people who eat them; where we li
cense the bawdy houses and impose
fines on men for preaching Christ on
the street corners; where we have a
ocngress of four hundred men who
make laws and a supreme court of
nine men who set them aside; where
newspapers are paid for suppressing
the truth and made rich by teaching
a lie; where professors draw their con
victions from the same place they
draw their salaries; where a girLwho
goes wrong is made an outcast and
her male partner flourishes as a gen
tleman; where women wear false hair
and men dock their horses’ tails;
where men vote for one thing one
day and cuss it 364 days; where we
have prayer on the floor of our na
tional capitol and whiskey in the cel
lar; where we spend seven hundred
dollars to bury a statesman who is
rich and ten dollars to put away a
working man who is poor; where it is
to be virtuous is to be lonesome, and
to be honest is to be a crank, and
where we pay $15,000 for a dog and
fifteen cents per dozen for making
shirts; where we put a man in jail
for stealing a loaf of bread and in
congress for stealing a railroad;
where the check book talks, sin walks
in daylight, justice is asleep, crime
runs amuck and the Devil laughs from
avahv strAAt. AnrriAr Pnmp fn nc TTil

hot things and cold things, all sizes,
