 "Cau such a man be entrusted to carry message b Garcia?
 I've have recently been hearing much mauJ',n sympathy expressed for the 'down-rodlcn d.ulcu oi the sveot,Aop and the homeless wandercr searching for honest cmploymcnt' and with it al! often go many hard word, for the men in power.
 'Noehins is ad about the employer who grows old before his time in a vain attempt to get rowsy uc,rdo-wells to do intelligent work, and his long, patient striving with 'he.P that does nothing but loaf when his bac, is turned In every store and factory there is constant weoding-out process going on The employer - constantly seudi, away htlp that have shown their Acapacity to further the interests of thc business, and others are hcing taken on. No matter how good times are, this sorting coutinuos only il time, hard and work is the sorting is done finer but out and forever out the incompetent and unworthy go Il Is the survival of the ftcst Soli-intcrcst prompts every employer to keep the best-:hoso who can carry message to Garcia.
 II know one man of really brilliant parts who has not tie ability to manage business of his own, and yet who is al s)uely worthless t3 anyone clse because he carries with him constantly tAo insane sus ,icon that his employer is expressing, intcnd ing to oppress him. He can not give orders, and he will nol receive them. should message be given him to take to Garcia, hi- answer would probably be Take it youreli.

 II have carried dinner pail and worked for days wages, and have also been employer of labor, and know there IS something to be said both sides There is no excellence, per se, in poverty; rags are recommendation, any more than all poor men vrtuous
 My heart goes out to the who does his work when the boss is away we'll when he is at home. And the man who, when given d letter for Garcia, quietly takes the mi-syc without asking any iiiotic questions, and with no lurking intention ot chucking it into the nearest sewer of doing aught else but deliver it, never gets laid off, nor has 10 get on a strike for higher wages Civilization is one long, anxious search for just -uch ndi yiduas. Any thing such man ask, shall Gc GIantcd las kind is so that employer can afford to let him go iIeis wanted in every city. town and yilIage--in every office, shop store and actorys The world cries out for such he'is nGddol, and needed badl y-the man who can carry a mt.ssage to Garcia" =
