a Milwaukee paper lays it down as char
acteristic of this country, that self interest is
the great study; to get forward by ''cheek'
or otherwise the highest ambition; and the
devil take him who falls behind, by misfortune
or accidental circumstances, the fast principal.
There is more truth than poetry in this
And what is equally true though seldom ad-
mitted, and often Denied is, that the very best:
and cleverest, and most industrious, and most
intelligent men, fall behind-while the least
deserving get forward, in the sense in which
that expression is commonly used. Happily,
getting forward is not the true test of merit
32 the realization OF the wishes and happiness
of those who are really worthy of success.
