Little Huquenot from Wisconsin

golden secret OF all military success
/ Never oyerestimate the enemy Tn
dercstimate him. To oyerestimate
the foe loses battles, to underesti-
mate him wins them.
The La Toilette motive is ambition.
He fights Money, not from principle,
/ but as a method, as Aaron Burr
fought Money 1t is the short cut to
Ia following. Likewise it pleases him
10 fight money He hates it for its
| iusolence and because its effort is
to make slaves of men. His effort
is TO turn men into soldiers. The
sensation between Mr.. La Toilette
and money is radical and not to be
bridged ne looks for power, money
looks for profit. 1t is the difference
between paladin and a pawnbrokH.
Had Tacitus known the La Follettes,
he would have said of them, as he
said of the Germans: Others go to
battle; these go to war
There you have the fashion of man
who has set out to be master of the
senate. lie will take every advan-
tage which the enemy offers. He
will come, and keep coming. They
will never be rid of him, now he has
found the passes through the senate
Alps. Nothing short of the enemy's
utter surrender will satify this Bren-
nus.
In climbing the ladder of office, Mr..
La Toilette fought his way up rung
by rung. He fought Senator Saw
yer fought Senator Spooner. Mr.,
Sawyer died; Mr.. SpOoner grew
weary There still was Mr. La Fal-
lette as tireless and as blo0S hun
cry as one of Wisconsin's own black
timber wolves.
Mr.. La Toilette has a square,
smooth hard, indomitable face. 1t is
the face of one who has seen trou-
BILE is looking for more trouble, and
would be unhappy if he didn't fno
trouble. His eyes are level, hard,
steady, unblinking, There is no
mercy, no kindness, no generosity,
but a mighty resolution second only
to mightier egotism in those eyes.
They never laugh, they never weep,
they never wayer, they never yield
And they are always glancing about
for something to claim, something to
20 to war over.
Mr.. La Toilette is money honest
He wouldn't touch a dollar with a
stain on il. Also, he doesn't care for
money; doesn't banker to be rich.
Mr.. La Toilette wants only the pow
er. OF mere power he will never
| have enough. Also. in his power
hunt, he has no friendships. A David
without a Jonathan, a Pythias with
out a Damon, is Hugenot La Toilette,
one day to be a Caesar of the sen
ate.

have had to prove themselves wor-
thy. Business competition is so
strong today that no concern can
afford to keep men in its employ
because they are friends or the
sons of friends, or the sons of some
one elses friend. The man NUT
himself prove worth while he must
demonstrate that he has all the pc
culiar qualities for which the place
calls.
Therefore, young man, don't worry
about all the good places being fill
ed, but go ahead and fit yourself
to fill the important place when
opportunity offers it to you. Go
after it as if the fate of the whole
universe depended upon your getting
it, and having gotten it, hold to it
rs if the fate Of the same old uni
verse depended upon your keeping
it, If you do that you needn't worry
about anyone taking it away from
you.
