A Little Sermon.

Il am not going to wor < myself
to death for anybody"
We have heard this expression so
very often from peevish, self-pitying
men and women that we have come
to lose the full force Of its CON
temptible weakness and utter sill
ness.
Work has killed some men, I'm
doubtedly. But men who killed
themselves by work were not the
men who complained that they were
doing too much. These suicides had
no complaint other than that they
could not accomplish enough in the
time and with the strength allotted
to them.
It is the lightweight, the nincom-
poop in the worlds activity, who Is
beard to whine that he is not going
TO work his head off for anybody.
If he would decrease his whining
capacity and increase his steam pres
sure. he wouldn't have TO do lick
OF work for anybody save hlIneelL.
The man who is afraid to DO a
little more work than he was hired
to do is the man who never rises
higher than his job. With Jealous
eyes he sees young, energetic fellows
step over him, and asks where they
got their pull.
They got their pull from tn II
push.
One pound more pressure on the
vast boiler put an immense loco
motives into motion. A little extra
exertion on the part Of an insight
ficant clerk in a big corporation may
lead to gigantic results. Continued
and conscientious individual effort
never fails to attract notice.
Don't be afraid of hurting your
self with work. You can't do It.
But you can and will hurt yourself

1t is especially of vital import

endous imposition with which it
ever was cursed. The fight IS Q

The Case Of Oklahoma.

President Roosevelt Will act very un-

mostenlmsy pretcxts. The American
people love Justice, and they know that
million brave pioneers are entitled

title the Washington Herald. an indie

vigorous editorial:

Cunspire TO prevent the admission of ok
lahoma on the grounds so far alleged to
Justify opposition TO the entry OF that
state into the Union. Startling discov-
cries are made daily as to the shortCom-
ings of the new constitution. II has not
made sufficient provision for public edu-
cation, II gerrymanders the state. and,
worse than all, 1t bears too hard on cor
pOrations.
These are ostenslble objections. The
real ones are even less plausible. but
( much more convincing from q party

that II a state government is set up an

enough, the case with which the consti-

sion that Uncle Joe had agreed to get
