Public Opinion.
B. W. HENSHAW'S,
An alumnus of the University, for several years prosecuting attorney in a prominent Kansas community, writes in a letter to Prof. Carruth:

"Some of the bluest moments I have spent have followed an effort to enforce law when the victims were of the upper class in society. People, generally friends and those of a moral tone and in favor of decency and order, did not have the courage of their convictions, and spoke their approval, if at all, with bated breath, and coupled with the injunction not to have it known that they had so expressed themselves. There was no single moment of doubt that if the whole community were, or had been, moved by the courage of their convictions, even to make secret announcement, it would have been far more weighty than the loud, violent declamations that seemed to possess the streets.
It is said "clothes make the man." That is not strictly true! But if you want to be as near the clothes made man as possible see Hollingbery & Son the Merchant Tailor 831 Mass. St.

"It is my conviction that public opinion is as sensitive as the whims of fashion or as subject to change as conscience, and where an officer finds himself surrounded by an adverse opinion he should not yield, but bend every effort to make public opinion of the right stamp. In such a battle one may stand against a thousand and put all to flight. I have noticed, too, that pure, true public opinion is very diffident, and must have a great emergency as a stimulant or constant encouragement to call it out and put it into active work. The public mind is right generally. The assaults against law and order are never so strong as they appear, while the desire for law abiding conditions is always more powerful than is apparent on the surface.
