and ability and az an instance OF what
industry can accomplish Instead OF
brooding over his success and ones
own lack OF success. would it not be
good thing to study the career Of that
man and to discover II possible why 1t
is that he has been so successful!
would it not be good thing to take an
inventory, OF the things that he has
done or left undone, OF his attitude OF
mind toward work as is shown by what
he has accomplished. and then to COM
pare these with what has been accom-
plished by ones self?
Every community ought to be proud
Of its successful men. There is no rea-
son for envy and jealousy. On the
contrary the successful men make the
community the better place in which
to live and to ge, on in the world. Their
very success makes opportunities for
others. The day has long since gone
by when it was considered possible for
man to succeed in business only ~
pulling down a competitor. There is
nothing in that moss grown theory
many men go out and create an entirely
l.ew business. If they had been waiting
for competitors in that particular field
in order to succeed by pulling down
their competitors and riding to success
by trampl!ng them underfoot. they
never would have created the new
business, never would have been sue
cessful There is nothing in the idea
that when one man succeeds others
must fall
This being the case. why should any
one hate with an unreasoning hate the
man who succeeds? There is no
cause for it whatever. Yet the new
year begin. therefore. not with a mega
tive resolution, but rather with de-
termination to give just dues TO the
successful man and TO Try to emulate
him. The community, the state, the
nation are large enough for all to sue
coed. It is up TO the man himself.

Men in the liquor business in this
country are prone to consider them
selves especially beset with trouble and
to believe that they are treated worse

But there is reason to think that

called on the lawmakers Of France to

Outside Point of View.

On Christmas day, Sunday, the writ
er took his usual constitutional walk.
He was in an Iowa city of so, 900 people
and purposely picked out a route in
what would be called the slum district
in the larger cities. Soon the Saliva
ton Army left their barracks. marched
up the street and stopped on corner,
where they are allowed to hold services.
The usual crowd gathered. But it was
a most L usual crowd for this scribe to
see, and many of the readers OF this
article never see such crowd. Per-
haps the contrast in mind. OF the happy
home the writer had left half an hour
before, perhaps the Christmas spirit
had possession; at any rate it was
saddening sight. OF the hundred men
and boys standing On the walks, not
one-half had overcoats. this on cold
winters day. A half dozen women
and three children helped make up the
crowd Poverty, real, rank. cruel pow
e-ty was more than advertised. The
women wore old dirty shawls to cover
their uncombed heads. The children
had on garments made for children
twice their age. Two drunken men
were in the crowd We have all seen
such specimens we nave all seen and
read about poverty but the writer
never before was so Impressed with the
fact that nearly all Of this attentive
crowd 70 the singing, prayers, and
preaching of the Salvation Army were
standing there shivering and cold, be-
cause they had no other place to go.

dressed men and women were entering
