That old, defiant family motto is not

Explaining.
The man himself is his own best ex-
planation and exculpation. If we are
not ftt to be taken on trust for what
we are, all that we may say about our-
selves, will not help much.
When a prisoner is arraigned upon
a charge of crime the first effort made
in his defense is to procure character
witnesses. They tell of him. as they
have alwa-ys known him, to establish
the -antecedent improbability that
such a man as his acts have shown
him to be would do the thing of which
,he stands accused.
"Many doubts deserve not to be
cleared," said wise old Samuel John-
son. Public men, attacked for things
they never thought of doing, have
lea.rned to be patient and keep silence
under a running fire of censure from
those who would be well pleased if
they could pull them down.
