FORGET YOURSELF,

fhoaHhts Are Self Conferred,


Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con.
seriousness Is a disease with many,
No matter what they do, they can new
or get away from themselves. They
become whipped Upon the subject O.
SELF ahalSsia, wondering how they
look. how they appear, what other,
will think OF them aud how they can
enhance their own interests. In otile,
words, every thought aud every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radl
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self conferred. The sympu,hies o1
the man who thinks only of himself
are SOON dried up. Self consciousness
acts as a paralysis to oil expansion
rtranglcs enlargement, kills aspissaion
crlpples executive ability. The mind
which accomplishes things looks out
not In; it Is focused upon Its object
not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been uncon
sclously performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent longings, thu
secret yearnings OF THO heart, not those
which have been delivered ,facing &
critical audience. The daily desire IL
the perpetual prayer, the prayer thai

NO "HONEST GRAFT. :"
Lo5C and Hughes Discuss the Ethics
of Insurance.

Charles E. Hughes and ex-AIayor Low spoke yes
terday afternoon before the Society for Ethical
Culture at Carnegie Hall The Moral Lessons
Of the Recent Insurance Investigation MI Hughes
said that the most striking result of the investi-
cation its vindcation of the sound moral sense
of the people. Public sentiment. he said, had de-
manded the investigation and supported the
mttee. public sentiment made imperative the
forms, and public sentiment demanded that insur-
ance should be administered the same a private
business.
hIr. Hughes praised the careers Of men like
Marshall Field and deplored the fact that success
obtained by dishonesty and chcanery had its eff
feet on young men. He said corporation
creature of the law vet persons talked of it OF
person a entity. He declared that the rs
sponsibilities of trustees had been almost lost
sight Of, and that to-day men accepted such trusts
as degrees from some commercial university. He
asked how many insurance directors had taken
real interest in the expenditures of their
porations even asked or cared about the enor-
nous charged as legal expenses. In times
Of prosperity they had thought everything safe
supposed officers would do their duty and felt
there was no occasion for close scrutiny. Had
there been a little inquisitiveness results which
honest would have felt bound follow up
would have been disclosed. and investigation
started. Exposures would have followed
Ex-Mayor Low, discussing political contribu-
tons, said he did not speak from a political point
of view Institutions of purely financial character
should be prohibited from making such contribu-
tions. It involved the use of money intended
for such purposes but which had been paid by
pocyholders to protect their families. He depre-
that the responsibilities of trustee
ship were not taken seriously and said the use
Of corporate money 10 influence legislation would
continue 50 long as men were elected to public
office who demanded blackmail.
Honest graft" condemned by Mr. Low
with vehemence.
Did you ever stop think" said he that
some Of these same things done in politics
under the of graft? Do You think there is
such a thing as honest graft? Is a man entitled
TO use his knowledge his influence for personal
gain?" The speaker answered by declaring there
could be honest graft, and then asked if it was
not due to the public that such morals existed
There is this to be said Mr.. Low added. for
these trustees Just so long as American citizens
elected to mold office who their positions

In conclusion, the speaker made plea for bet
