A person who keeps his e5es open and knows what is going on, and who asserts a conviction from what he sees. One may think it is very difficult, considering the complexity and multiplicity of events, to possess oneself of a governing truth from the driftwood of the rapidly passing stream of things. But that is not what he has to do. If a person has to wait for very little particular he will never reach a judgment or belief. You can see such people In a commu nity* mere peckers of bird seed, full of viipld talk and controversy. They ire no more agents of truth than Old Nick is. You don't'have to inspect each par ticular straw to see what a haystack Is. You- can look at it, see its form, understand Its purpose, and know all there Is in la haystack to know. So ln. Hfe, the small facts are endless and shed no light One must turn from them to the tei dency or policy and make up his mtn,d from that. Such a discovery Is easier than a single fact. One cannot make up one's mind from little things, for tliey are endless, one suggesting an other Infinitely. So a general vleW that expresses a tendency provides the opportunity for conviction. The :ivi duty then. Is t get ac quainted with th tendency of a meas ure of policy, the influence it has on other things and how it rffects the habits of a community. ThH constant Jowering about puiHculars never con structs a real faith. One has to take his stand on an axion or self-evident truth- and then look out and see whether a circumstance Is coming to hlra or going from him. That is tha way to get at a tendency which is the necessity habit of good citizenship. It is the small mind that is constant ly looking for peanut facts and rea sons. It is the larger mind^that looks for tendencies, and the field for Its exercise includes all national, stote and city affair*. A man who 'doesn't see tendencies there is a poor citizen, and they are legion.Columbus Jour nal.
