This is a trip which no one can afford to

The greatest achievements man
can reach in this life is TO be an ideal
citizen in the community in which he
lives. To become such the only alter
native is to take the upgrade, which
is always difficult to ascend. He
must always be faithful not only to
mis- community and his friends, but
TO himself His mind and body and
soul must always be kept strong lie
must dare to do right; this will cost
him something, but it will be re-
gained IN the long run. Every interest
of his fellowman must be made his
own interest so far as mutual protec-
ton will admit The ideal citizen
does not have to be bound by the
rituals of sects or orders, but it must
be a voluntary sacrifice he makes for
all. The man who adopts this course
and moves upward instead of down
ward will soon reach the plateau of
honor and fame and will not be

WILLING TO WAIT.
President Underwood Does Not Be-
lieye II. II. Men Will Strike.

New York. Dec. 29.-President F.
D. Underwood of the Erie railroad
does not believe that railroad en-
ployes will receive a general increase
in wages if their demands are based
on increased cost of living. In a state
ment given out to the public here to.
day he says:
1.-The great bulk of those million
and half employees live in communi-
ties where food and provisions are
cheap and the cost of living has not
gone up materially.
There is no danger of a general
strike. Railroad employees want high
er wages, but they are reasonable
They are willing as a mass to wait I'M
til the railroads have recouped in a
measure from the hardships of the
last panic. They have reason to be
grateful because they were unaffected
nancia1ly by the panic. Their wages
were not reduced and only those who
were paid by mileage suffered
