THE FooTPADs ADVANTAGE

Editor Herald: In your issue of this
morning "Old Timer" hits the nail
square on the head when he says to
"shoot the holdup man."
But there Is one thing necessary pe-
fore that can be, and that is to repeal
every law against carrying concealed
weapons. The law abiding citizen com
niles with the laws and therefore has
his hands tied and the criminal, caring
nothing for the law, carries weapons
and preys upon a defenseless commu-
nifty, well knowing that he has every
chance to elude the police. Repeal the
law against carrying concealed weap-
ons and it will take less policemen and
detectives. The coroner will have q
few more cases for a short time until
the thugs of the country learn to Know
that the citizens can take care OF
themselves. The holdup business Will
become too risky. ]. A. HASKELL.

BEING YOUR OWN ANCESTOR

My child. in the day of resurrec
 tion they will ask you what YOU l have done in the world. and not from
 whom you are descended" runs al i old Persian proverb.
 And that's just it. We mus | amount to something on our own ac' ! count if we would receive the reward, l of merit.
 There are a lot of us who are eX- l ceedingly proud of our ancestry. We
 either trace it back through centuries ! of proud record in the old world. Oi ! to descent from some of the hardy | first settlers in this. But what does | it benefit us if our ancestors came over in the Mayflower. if they were among the early Dutch of New Ann sterdam. the English cavaliers of Vir- ginia and other southern states. the early makers of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. if We do not do some ! thing on our own account. if We dO not make our own personal standing of real worth?
 It is a fine thing to have the blood of the intrepid adventurers-for that was just what most of those early corners were-coursing\ through our veins. It is a fine thing to know that the blood bounding through our arteries is mixed with the heroic thing in colonization. of men whe fought and bled in the great war for independence. and of those later he roes who placed their lives in sacri- flee in the great internecine strife of fifty years ago. but it is a far greater thing to be creating both a character and a reputation tn which others coming after us will be able to point with pride.
 It is great to do the ordinary things Of life well in the ordinary environment.
 The parable of the vineyard tells us the rewards for just such labor. If you remember. not a single person among the laborers was asked to do the extraordinary thing. but he was expected to do the ordintry thing in the right way and to the best of his ability. so that the steward. when the Lord and Master of the harvest should come for his accounting would be able to give a satisfactory report
 Therefore. not a worker in the vineyard could fall back for justifica- ton on the record of one of his fel- lows or on that of some forebear who had labored there. There was only one record that could be considered- his own.
 Now every one of us in the exact position Of the men in the vineyard or the parable. We must stand ab- solutely alone in the matter of achievement and reward We shall ever receive will be in the Knowledge of having done our best. No man or woman who acts in that light has reason to fear the powers of death because in the spirit in which their work is done they not only rise su- perIor but immortal
