THE SO GRAPH. «» railed upon to decide, and to do so intelligently he must know the arguments for and against all of them. To vote is a duty which all should perform, but that one's father voted so or so is not in itself sufficient reason for deciding a choice; one should think and decide for himself. An opinion formed upon personal investigation is worth ten accepted from another's views. It is a fact that not one man in ten can give a more lucid reason for his party affiliations than "because," and this can hardly be taken as conclusive argument on disputed points. One should have opinions, or if he has none should form them by reading. Every one should know why he s, or he should not vote at all. Especially is this true of young men who make any pretentions to education. true manliness, beside which the exhibition of physical strength is poor and insignificant. To admit you have been wrong is not an evidence of weakness, but of the highest manly courage. E would call the attention of our readers to the various advertisements which are contained in tlie Sophograph. They represent the solid, wide-awake, busines men of town. It is only bv the liberal patronage of thea men that we have been enabled to make the Sophograph what it is, and since they have shown their inter in student enterprise in such a substantial manner, it i> only just that they should receive in return the studen trade. w E all place a high estimate upon manliness, in whatever form we recognize it. When watching the skillful feats of an acrobat we stand unconsciously with a more erect bearing as if we would increase our stature. The gr, ful. well-developed form of the athlete wins from us all a hearty admiration, but while we admire physical manlim . there is another and nobler manliness of soul which is more worthy of emulation—a characteristic- which can-'-- us to acknowledge our error when we realize that we have I 1 in the wrong. 1 How Yi-ry few of us are willing to assume the responsibility and r< > our own actions.
