The youth Of American should keep
the example of Dewey before their eyes
and impress the picture we'll on their
minds. They Can learn from It that
everything Is possible IN a country like
this where the individual must make or
mar his own fortune. They can learn
from 1t that he who Is faithful over q
few things will be given control over
many. They can learn from 1t that the
world Is always waiting for men Of
"crious thought and earnest effort and
hat spasmodic brllliancy awaits not.
There are thousands Of men who are
endowed with richer gifts than Is Dew.
ey who never make their marks. Con.
sclous Of their own powers, they abhor
drudgery and painstaking and IRE al.
ways waiting for opportunities to ex.
ploit themselves. They are looking for
short roads to fame, for KohinOors, for
great things that come suddenly aud
which are mastered without effort.
Foolish and futile! Character Is the
basis of oil success and character Ii
like the coral reef. slow and painful Of
building. but indestructible when built.
