rights but it is still more important
to think of ones duty. If man is
good father, if he is not harsh, cruel,
or violent in his dealings with those
depending upon him, if he is a good
neighbor and a good man to work be-
side, he is a good citizen. If he falls
short in this respect he is bad man.
Men Who VIII Stay Put.
1T is as it was in the civil war. What
the man in blue wanted to know about
the comrade at his side was not wheth-
er he was well off, or not well off, not
whether he was a banker or a working
man, but whether if found in a tight
place he would stay put. So it is with
civil life. What is indispensably
| necessary for every mans success is
| that he should have these qualities that
will inspire respect in whoever happens
| to work beside him. 1t is the man who
does his daily work well, who gains
your respect.
Much can be done by the law, much
1 by the honest administration of the
| law, but much depends upon the char
acter of the individual man and the in
dividual woman.
DO not misunderstood me. There
are plenty of people, plenty of wealthy
men, who will seize on what have
said and say that is what have told
you-it depends upon the individual.
But the law must not permit inJus-
tice. 1t must prevent injustice. We
| must constantly work to make condl-
tions better in order that each man may
show his best, in order to make the
| chances of success in life better for the
average man to lead his life happily and
well for himself, his wife and his chill
dren.
1--WE can not be excused if we fail to
work in the interest of men whose
hopes for the future lie along these
lines. 1 can not say how strongly
feel that. want you to remember that
everything possible should be done by
the law and by the administration of
the law to bring about these results that
will work for justice and prosperity.
| When we do this, conditions will be fix
ed so that in the last analysis the chief
factor in the success or failure of any
man or woman will be his or her per-
sonal character"
