THIS IS The WAY TO GET THERE.

Don't slouch along as If you were on
your uppers. If you do your uppers
will get onto you. Then you'll have to
walk out, sure. Show by your car
riage that you are worth considering.
/ If you havn't carriage, take cab.
An automobile isn't half bad, and some
very sprightly people make a show o
themselves in street cars. You may do
the same, but step lively, please.
Don't slouch.
Never allow your physical standard
to drop. If you do somebody will pick
it up and all the detectives in town
wont find it. Keep up your vinegar.
Walk as il you were going to do some
thing, or somebody, in this world,
Walk so that even New Yorker will
note your superiority. He'll probably
try to get it away from you, but walk
fast ard you may escape.
Don't shuttle along like The failures
we see sitting around on the benches
in the parks or lolliug along the side
walks with their hands in their pockets
or somebody else's. Walk like the
failures we see down in Wall street
riding around in their carriages.
Don't give people the impression that
you are discouraged. Hustle right
along to the next bunch. Maybe some
body there will let you have the dollar
you need. The man who thoroughly
believes in himself walks with his
head up, his chin in, his shoulders
back, his chest out and bis board bill
paid. And he gets there with both
feet, unless he has only one leg.
Stand erect. Be man. Maybe you
are woman, but be man anyhow.
Don't slOuch You cannot aspire to
accomplish great and noble deeds If
you assume the gait of tramp. That
gait is rusty on its hinges and won t
work. You were created to walk up
right, whether you are a trust mag
nate or just the ordinary kind that
the law can reach. Put character,
energy, strength and rustic into your
walk and after while you won't have
to walk.
You can ride-Nelo York Press.

ONE of the interesting features Of the
government rate revision discussion is
the inconsistent attitude of the late
popultstic newspapers. During the
populist movement these papers howl
ed themselves hoarse proclaming that
the tariff was a tax and the less inter
ference with business conditions and
enterprises by the government the
better. Now every one Of these new S.
papers is urging government control
OF railroad rates, the more government
interference the better. Not possess
ing intelligence enough to see the
difference between protective tariff
or one designed to encourage infant
industries, and shelter" or subsidy,
they suddenly turn pOpulistic again
and seek to have the government save
them from the terrible railroads. But
If railroad rate regulation is the prop
er field for government interference
why not also tariff schedules and GUS
toms duties? There is no more justif-
cation for government regulation Of
railroad rates than there is for govern
ment regulation OF duties on iron,
paper, or beef. If we are going to
have a paternal government the gov
ernment must take care OF all its
children.
