Conscientious, Silent type and the neigborly speakers

5. The conscientious soul
Anyone who knows the speaker knows that he’s a conscientious soul. They probably mean that he’s developed a good-sized conscience. Man comes into the world without a conscience, it’s a thing he develops as he grows. Most of us acquire ours by degrees, but felons and delinquents ignore that still small voice within and as a result their consciences never develop. For most of us, conscience is that something that hurts when everything else feels so good:

Reverend Charles Franklin Parker of Prescott, Arizona, says of this internal pest:

Some sins it makes us turn and run from, But mostly it simply takes the fun from. while Doctor Charles Ball of River Forest, Illinois, holds to these tenets: Conscience is the inner voice that gives a warning when somebody else is looking. It’s what small boys call the thing that makes you tell Mom before Sis does. It hangs around when the lights are out and you’re alone with yourself; if you’ve been good-it makes a soft pillow. All this seems to indicate that our conscientious speaker is far from being in the felon or delinquent class!

6. The silent type
Our speaker is the silent type, the President Coolidge “If-you-keep-quiet-you-can’t-be-quoted” kind.
People study and train themselves to say the right thing at the right time, but very few ever learn that they might save themselves a lot of trouble if they’d only keep still. Silence is the only substitute for brains; it conceals a sharp temper, a nasty disposition, and ignorance. Women adore the silent type they think it means he’s listening to them. Nature blessed us with the ability to keep still; our ears are made so they won’t shut and our mouths are made so that they will. It’s hard to tell whether our speaker knows all the answers in the book, but with his talent for silence it’s a sure thing that he has plenty of sense.

7. The neighborly sort
Our speaker is the sort of neighbor who smiles across the fence but doesn’t climb over it. He developed his talent for neighborliness out where it’s most often found, hovering over rail fences and along dusty roads where it’s important to people in remote areas. They depend so much upon each other. That’s why in frontier times, class hatred was merely something kids felt about school. His neighborliness makes our speaker welcome by every creed and class.
