his indignant complaint against

THE MAN WHO WINS

The man who wins must do so by
his own efforts, But what is meant by
winning? 1t Is not that a man must
accumulate great wealth. or that he
must secure finished education OF
that he must attain great social
heights, or that he must possess great
ability in this, that or the other thing;
but that he does the best he can ac.
cording to his ability. l say the best"
he can.
Don't sit down and mourn OF COM
plain because you cannot become n
great orator. or because You cannot
delve into the mysteries of the scien-
ces, or because you cannot become a
great leader OF men, for 1t Is not given
10 everyone to do great things; that Is.
those things that appear outwardly
great; do with they might what
thy hands find to do" Whether 1t be
great or small Many times, what ap-
parently may seem the most insig-
niflcant things are the things abso-
lutely needed to complete the greatest

THE TWO RUUES-WHlcH ONE
WILL YOU OBSERVE?

More than 1900 years ago what Is
commonly known as the Golden Rule,
was enunciated. "Do unto others as
you would that others should do unto
you" This was intended TO be the
law of life-the law of our daily prac-
ucc. This followed closely would
have obviatcd the necessity Tor the
enactment of any other law But this
was not to be, hence the enactment
of laws and laws, until the brain IL
set into a whirl in contemplating the
hundreds of thousands of volumes
necessary TO contain enough law to
keep us straight and then they fall in
much
But there seems 10 have been an
other rule" injected into our indus
trial life within the last few years.
or If il existed before 1t was not so
noticeably adhered to as of late. rhe
rule has no specific name so far as
we know, 1t might, like booze In pro-
hibition states. be called by any old
called the brass rule" and it reads:
DO others as they would do you.
but do them first" Unlike the case
of the golden rule" there have been
no laws enacted to enforce its obsery-
ance- Those who wished TO observe
1t, did, and those who did not care to.
were not compelled to But this
brass" rule has been more consplcu-
GUS In the observance than In the
violation. especially so by the corpor-
ate and trust interests. They have

we can have "all round" high prices.
but the high prices are all on one
side. II railroads. and other vested
(?) interests. would, by charging high
rates. pay high wages to their en-
ployes, the shipper and consumer
would be eventually compensated, but
they don't Even now. there is 100
great difference between rates and
wages. and what would II be If they
were permitted to raise their rates
still higher? Is il supposed that they
would raise wages accordingly Not
unless they were forced to. as they
have been in the past All that the
wage-worker has got ont oil them they
have had TO squeeze out, and they
have had a nard time doing 1t Yes.
they have done" us first. They have
come to us (the people) with smiling
faces and smooth tongues, have patted
us on the back and called us good fell
lows. until we have granted them
concessions without number, placing
them in a position to do" us. and
they haven't been slow either
Oh, yes, we believe In high prices.
but we want them on both sides OF
the house. The Good Master said:
The poor we have always with you.
and we believe he spoke an inevitable
truth We cannot conceive OF a con-
dltion wherein all viii possess equal
wealth but we can conceive OF a
condition where all may have equal op-
portunlties for accommodating wealth
according to their several abilities;
and that condition will exist when
the people themselves make the laws,
expunge the brass" rule from our
civilization and enforce the tenets of
the Golden Rule How long, o, peo-
