Pe g SLEING BOTH SIDES In a lubor controversy, in the labor leader uble to see the employer‘s side, and the employer alle to see the men‘s A lawyer can naturally conduct his case better if he knows the testimony and argument of the other side, and he can often forecast this by seeing, assuming the other side. A salesman can convince the buyer more quickly, more casily, if he can see the buyer‘s standpoint. He san defend himself in competition, if his position be defendable in truth, by knowing the competitor‘s vie..-point. Charles Reade in his novel, "Put Yourself In His Place," presents this idea through the medium of a char» acter whose invariable motto in time of argument and strife is: Put yourself in his place. The book, which is an old one, is worth reading just to get this suggestion, Where controversy is involved it is often much more quickly and expeditfously settled by outside representa~ tion. The lawyer is valuable even in controversy that does not get into courts; he is valuable in keeping his clients out of court, for he can see the other side where his client cannot. Those directly interested have too much feeling for intelligent controveray. There is often so much feeling they cannot think on their own side touch less see the other side, The rem ron for the efficiency of represent tion in controversy often is that it car usually see the other side. Most men are inclined to be fair dealt with fairly. If the average man sees that th ee C i. side he will reciprocate in his ow vision and as a matter of pride. This may explain why radicals

tard rather than promote reform. A radical is one who cannot see the other ide. | A reformer is one who cun see both sides. A radical in his failure to ree the other side develops a feeling, a hatred, that closes all doors to understanding. j His feeling against those . of | the | side renders him exclusive unto him self; or men. like himself who feel much and do mot think much and who exclude others from their cause by their abuse. Seeing the other aide promotes mutual sympathy and justice which are the means by which men get together. Seeing the other aide is promoting your own self-interest, and which is just another way of stating the Golden Ruie-in terzis of self-interest. It takes a well balanced mind to see both sides of a question. Often times we are so obsessed with our own self-interest that we cannot wee the other‘s self-interest. Seeing the other side gives a clearer understanding of a whole question. -including our side. | This does mot mean that we must believe in or be on the other side in order to see it, but we can see the lother‘s view-point, even though it is not urs and may not be the true one. Seeing the other side will aid us to ge right if we are wrong, or it will help us in convincing the other of the right if he is wrong. The most valuable men on both sides of a controversy are those able to see the other‘s side. --_-sew- -- BLUE PRINT PENCILS, best grade | white, 10 centa each, $1.00 per dor.
