THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.

Look where you will over the field
of human progress and you will find
the young, healthy man or woman
working ont the problems of the age,
social, mechanical, electrical, chemi-
cal, medical, surgical, astronomical,
in short, all problems of vital import
ance. Behind the most brilliant
achievements stand Drawn as well as
brain. To succeed one must have
tireless energy as well as restless am
bition. Never in the history of the
world has competition been so great.
Never has it been so skillful, never
have there been so many obstacles to
overcome, never has the road to sue
cess been so INSTRUCTED by snares aud
pitfalls. So hard has the way to sue
cess become that only the strong,
healthy person can reach the goal.
The ten-year old school boy of today
knows more about science than New
ton ever knew. He knows more about
business and the world in general than
the most experienced monarch knew a
century ago. People are doing things
today that were never dreamed of
generation ago. Success does not
come to those who wait now days, but
to those who do. To be successful one
must work and one cannot work unless
they are strong and healthy, To sue
coed nowadays one must work over
time. The men who fought for the
eight hour day and are now advocat
ing six hour day. are poor models
for the ambitious. Such men always
chafe at the prosperity Of their EN-
ployers, but those employers have al
ways worked overtime Labor is luck
If you see successful man, you see
a worker. A sober, industrious man,
with fair abili ties may fail at times
by following his own judgement. He
may make mistakes and suffer losses
but he must eventually succeed if he
keeps his health. The man who works |
overtime and became successful will
surely make enemies but he loves
those enemies. Everyone is but
milestone on his road to success. Ev
cry successful man knows he has enc
mics, and when they hiss be knows
there are but two things that hiss. the
snake because it is venomous and the
goose because it has no brains. New
or mind the enemies, but if they get
too near, scotch them. You may say
all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy, but remember all play and
no work makes him mere toy. Those
who advocate the six and four hour
days of labor fail tn remember that
the devil always finds work for idle
hands to do.
Come on, ''Wild West and June
Bug. Oh, you little bugs and flies,
and "Wild Vest, it is you that know
now to eat bread ''by the sweat of thy
face. " just look ahead to the time.
| think 1919 is the time set when the
Socialists are going to take charge of
things aud put Uncle Sam out of bust
ness. Then we will see the ravens
locking forth to feed the pure and I'M
ie6led Christ-like Socialist party,
which is so much better than other
parties. God said He died for all
mankind. He has no respect of per- {
IONS. God is just gol and He says
lie cares for His own, so if the So
.ialists are god like people they COM
nit sin to worry about things and
lard times. Everyone's life is just
what they make it. If so called chris $
ians would do christian duty to-
ward their brothers and quit singing
mt such stuff as they do, the world b
would be better and there would be /
love one to another. Chris =
ians that live in glass houses ought t
lot to throw rocks. The christians |
hat are working for the devil are all T
he time harping on what some one
lse ought to do. They can see the
Their fellows faults, but fail to see n
heir own. The devil is tickled to a
now he will make an angel of that
ind of christian.
