MOST of us have serious de-
feet of some kind which we strive
with jealous care to conceal from
the knowledge of even our closest
friends. Someone has said that
God best showed His love for man
when He allowed him to conceal
his thoughts. If we could read
each others thoughts, there would
be few lasting friendships in this
world. All Of us have a sore spot.
a mental skeleton hid away in the
mind, that we protect from chat
ing by applications of false logic,
but which we would not charitably
apply to protect like sores in
others. 1t matters not how pure
and steadfast friendship may be,
we are often unconsciously col
Letting damaging evidence of each
others faults and storing it away
as weapon for offensive or de-
fensive use on some possible Oc-
casiOn in the future. When friend
ship turns to hatred. it is then
this knowledge is used with tell
ing effect, for truth used with
malice sinks deeper than the black
est of falsehoods. That person who
can withhold in enmity what has
been learned in friendship, has a
heart attuned to every quality that
imparts nobility of character.

WILL.ASSERTION.

MAN has three distinct and diff.
ferent sources of action-his moral
forces, his intellectual faculties
and his physical functions. In
every act, thought and word ema-
mating from him, each of these are
more or less brought into harmoni-
GUS cooperation. From the cradle
to the grave life is series of bat
ties resulting in either victory OF
defeat, and stamping an indelible
impress upon the individual him
self that distinguishes him from
his fellows-this impress being
known as character.
We all know from daily expert
ence that our inner existence is a
conflict between conscience and
the forces of desire, and that we
must bend to either one or the
other. One or the other must con-
quer, and whichever wins the day
certain natural results must follow

The silliest thing in the world
is to fear what people think and
say about us when we are follow
ing course that is manifestly
right. This world is infested with
a lot of snarling reprobates whose
chief occupation is trying to prove
that truth, honesty and virtue
never had any existence outside
Of the covers of books. and that
all men act from motives purely
selfish. What they think and say
is of no consequence. They have
no value to the world more than
booming it's population. They
malign everybody, kick about ev-
erything and when Judgment Day
arrives will enter a complaint
against the Angel Gabriel for dis
turbing the peace.

THE EQUALITY MYTH.

ABSOLUTE equality between men
never has nor never can exist. In
social position, intellectual qualifi-
cations, moral integrity and phys
ical strength, there must, neces-
sarily, be gradations and special
adaptations for certain duties, but
all contributing to one end. In
the nature Of things, some men
will enjoy a greater share of the
good things of this life than others,
and, as rule, this is the reward of
superior merit and more than
average usefulness to the world.
Any person who develops special
qualifications to fill any response
bic position requiring great execu-
tive ability, is soon discovered and
appreciated, and when the duties
are performed faithfully and with
integrity of purpose, increased in
fluence naturally gravitates to that
person.
Every community is cursed with
representatives Of that class of
malcontents out Of tune with the
existing order of things; individ-
uals. who never did an honest days
work, who have no merit, no
ability, no pride Of character, and
who ceaselessly talk of the alb
surdity that they are as good as
anybody else" But, as is almost
invariably the cas- e, this class make
themselves an exception to this
crack Drained doctrine, and pro-

GIVE a man a responsible posi-
ton, wherein he is invested with
petty authority over others, and all
that is good and all that is bad in
his character will be revealed in
his use of the trust reposed in him.
The true and generous heart, re-
sponsive to justice and the de-
mands of self-respect, never APP
pears nobler than when resisting
the temptation to abuse power.

IT Is fashionable to pirate about
the wrong use of money among the
wealthy, and condemn their every
extravaganza as detrimental to good
example. There is abundant rea-
son for this, particularly in such
vulgar displays Of wealth as mark
aristOcratic balls, but there is equal
reason for condemning wrong uses
of money among the poor. The
manner in which money is used
must be measured by the amount
possessed, and what may be a
luxury to one man is a necessity to
another. The laboring man can
derive as much pleasure from a
twenty-five cent meal as the mil

If we are moral and intellectual
free agents, unfettered of ignor-
ance and mental dependence and
in full possession of reasoning fac
ulties, the natural impulse is to
heed conscience as the safest and
wisest guide. But if moral and in
tellectual force is lacking, and will
power an absent element, desire
is likely to conquer; not always be-
cause the qualification of the de-
sire is sought and approved, but
because force Of character is too
weak to resist the desire or obey
conscience.
A man destitute of all character,
good or bad. is like rudderless
ship, the plaything of winds and
waves, drifting about without aim
or effort. He is morally and in
tellectually demoralized, existing
as a mere machine, an automatOn,
a thing to be driven, retarded or
manipulated at the will of another
good or bad, as the case may be.
He originates nothing. forms no
opinions, nor has the moral stamina
to express what in his hazy view
is right or worthy Of thought and
investigation, but accepts the con-
illusions and guidance of superior
mentalities, even when conscious
that they are opposed to his best
interests, without protest or as
sertion of manhood. Such a crea-
ture has no friends, no enemies,
no character. Who gives a shadow
Of thought to a man without moral
or intellectual stamina? The law
abiding will not trust him, the
reckless despise and deride him
and everybody in general have
greater sympathy and admiration
for the out and out rascal than
this apology for man who cannot
say no, who has no convictions or
mind to form them and who is
characterless, pliable as putty and
unreliable in everything good OF
bad; the rascal may be reformed
and made useful, but the other will
ever exist as miserable failure, a
weak imitation of man.
There is but one exception to
freedom Of will-power, and that is
where the individual is suffering
from mental alteration. Such
cases excite pity and sympathy
and are distinct from the weakling
without backbone. The worst Of
us have ample opportunity for as
serting manhood, for exercising
our own sense of right and wrong
and for bringing our will-power in
sympathy with those moral prin-
ciples and intellectual faculties
that infuse courage of convictions
and a reliance on both reason and
conscience.

claim, with an audacity that is
sublime, that they alone are capa-
bic Of directing affairs. It is ever
the misfortune of the worthless.
the ignorant and the selfish that
their own narrow point Of view re-
fuses to permit them to see moral,
intellectual or physical superiority
in those whose industry and worth
have elevated to positions of trust
and honor. They fail to under
stand that all prosperity and prog
ress result from mutually of in
terest and action, and careful,
patient and faithful performance
of respective duties, and that any
element that counteracts this tend
ency is retarding force. Progress
is to be had only by united effort
by all the members of a commun-
ity and not by perpetually bicker-
ing about the hoary fallacy of
equality.
Nothing could be more absurd
than the fiction that zone man is
as good as another" No two in
dividuals are equal in intellectual
ability, in physical strength, in
moral force, or in adaptibility to
the requirements of the community
in which they move and form a
part, and the one that is the most
useful to that community is the
better man and deserving of higher
social position, influence and re-
spect. Social equality is impos-
sible of existence; if it were other
wise there would be no incentive
to seek adequate and larger fields
for the talent we may possess, no
object in developing skill and no
reward for acquiring moral or III
tellectual force.

to dissemnate pathological information and to aid
