filled with practical wholesome
sense. It's basic principal was old
fashioned aud new fashioned
counsel. Don't be afraid OF work. :"
And the pertinence TO the time at
hand was that the young man in

The idle question whether there

"A question 10 those who are idle
or who are too good" TO work

thing to turn up" Hut the ques-
tion does not exist for the young
man who goes ahead aud makes
his opportunities.
There is good deal OF buncombe
about dignity OF Labor" the 'full
dinner pail" and other good phrases
that have been made cheap by sell
fish politicians. but such claptrap
does not count The thing that
counts Is the workingmap's own cor
seriousness that he is infinitely bet

they are competent for other respon
sibilities- They are the ones whose
