It is no argument against maintaining free

sor,ous mistake that the elevated roads have
been allowed to plant their columns here ana
overshadow the open plaza with heavy iron
trusses But it is too late to remedy that now IL
is not too late, however. to keep the surface car
tracks out Of the plaza. 1t is not necessary for
them to be put there. The travelling puohc
wants the trolley brought close to the Bridge
station. This can be done by the Howell pian'
leaving the plaza untouched. No valid objection

Sympathy.


Sympathy is the foundation OF
every success. No man ever made
a real success for himself and the
world unless sympathy was the
handspring of his activity. Every
success has been the expression OF
a man $ sympathies, as we'll as OF
his activities. Whether his inter
ests in life have been one or many,
they express the range of his SYM
pathies. Carlyle never wrote
truer sentence than "When the
heart is dead. the eye cannot see:
Men have awakened to what life
held for them. what they had to
give it in return, as the heart has
cleared the vision. No work was
ever done to the limit of its posi-
bilities that did not engage the
full sympathy of the worker.
We know men only as our SYM
pathies clear our mental VISION
We deal Justly with our fellows
only as we are alive to each man 8
limitations, as we'll as to his posi-
bilities. Sympathy is the key
that opens the heart OF king and
beggar. Men find common meet
ing ground as they recognize like
ness of spirit. Sympathy is the
touchstone of life. 1t is the new
er-failing well of enthusiastic ef-
fort Without it man is adrudge,
begear for wages, slave to his
necessities. He is free only as
his effort is the expression OF his
sympathy. Work without love is
bondage. and death alone breaks
the shackles. The man who works
without the handspring of SYM
pathv loses the beauty OF life, and
is deprived of the inspiration OF
success. For his success IS apart
from his love, and his heart is not
touched. Everywhere sympathy
is the foundation of true living
Tn the business, the social, the al.
truistic world. it is only with the
heart alive that the eye sees clear
". If the purpose Of life is selfish
then the heart responds only t(
the demand made upon it, and thu
vision does not range beyond thu
field chosen for it. The hear
alive controls the vision, and ou
range of sight is not beyond TIN
heart line of activity. The Out
look.

success.

Every man must bide his time.
He must wait More particularly
in our land where the pulse of life
beats with such feverish and I'M
patient throbs, is the lesson need
ful. Our national character wants
the dignity of repose. We seem
to live in the midst of a battle;
there is such din; such hurrying
to and fro. In the streets OF
crowded city it is difficult to walk
slowly. You feel the rushing OF
the crowd. and rush with it onward.
In the press of our life it is diff
cult to be calm. In the stress OF
wind and tide, all professions seem
to drag their anchors. and are
swept out into the main. The
voices Of the present say come.
But the voices OF the past
say watt With calm and SOL
emn footsteps, the rising tide
bears against the rushing torrent
upstream, and push back the hur-
rying waters.
With no less calm and solemn
footsteps. no less certainty. does
great mind bear up against the
public opinion and push back its
hurrvinu stream. Therefore should
every man wait bide his time
