Young man, there is only one
thing you cannot do. You cannot
make a success in life unless you
work. Better men than you have
tried and failed. You cannot Loaf
around street corners, smoke cigars,
and tell foul stories, drink whisky
and sponge on some one else with
out making failure in lite. You
must learn a trade or get some hons
est business. If you don't you will
become a chronic loater, despised
by all. There is no place in the
world for loaters. The ripe fruit is
at the top of the tree and you must
climb if you get it. Some smart
man will pluck it away from you.
Do something no matter how small;
it will be starter. Help your self
and others will help you. There is
no royal gate to success; will, grit
and endurance, those are the quail
ties. Wake up and see what you
can do. Be true and honorable,
obey your parents and all will be
well.

ten to the core.
How do the people who make
these charges compare in respecta-
bility and integrity with the men
whom they assail If a charge
were to be made and the men who
are loudest in condemnation OF men
aud methods installed in Office
would the people be any better
treated or the affairs of the country
more honestly administered? Are
these men clamoring for honesty or
for office?
Are their individual records and
lives SC far above repros oh that you
would feel that you would be better
taken care of than if matters re-
NAMED as they are?
Is man an honest man who
would blacken the character of a
fellow-man for his own or his par
tvs advancement? Is he honest
who deals mainly in innuendoes and
insinuations with the hopc that
they will ultimately subserve his
ends :?
