Most men are just what their environment has
made them, but that does not mean that men must
be victims of their environment. It simply means
that most Of them have been too lazy too shftless
to climb above their environment Practically every
man who has made something Of himself by way of
service to humanity has been one who has run away
from his environment. Washington for instance in
one direction and Lincoln in another. Had Washing
ton been controlled by environment he would have
basked in instead of undergoing the hardships
OF war Had Lincoln been governed by his environ
ment he would have simply been an ignorant shift
less backwoodsman, his father. Work, not
environment, counts in making man.
Many women and many men of today lose their
environment. We can people Of wealth leaving
their lives Of pleasure seeking and leisure that was
lead by their ancestors to try and make the great
mass OF poor peoples lives little happier. TO try
and lessen the burden Of those who must toll each
day so they may supply food and clothing for those
OF their families that have not yet reached the age
to support themselves; and for the laborng peo-
ple, their forefathers were willing to accept what
was given them by their employers They did not
reach friendly hand to the weaker workman and
say rise with me brother, you are as good as I.
But the laboring man Of today has risen above
the environments of his ancestors though he has
had to sacrifice his hours of rest some times part
OF his scanty earnings and evenings that should be
spent at home.
Night after night he has left his home to at
tend the meeting Of his union. Night after night
he has left his home to do committee work for his
union so that his brother workmen might rise the
same as he But the spirit of God and the Brother
hood OF man has not yet reached the hearts Of all
the people OF wealth, has it all the people that
must toll daily We can yet see men and women in
the same environments their fathers and
grandfathers those that cannot see beyond their
own personal interest, they have no thought for
their fellow workmen or are they willing to take
part in any movement that will elevate the masses
of toilers.
But if some laboring people have failed to rise
to the spirit Of God and the Brotherhood of man,
some people Of wealth have not only failed to
spread the Brotherhood Of man throughout the ma
ton, but their action in amassing great fortunes
and the methods they pursued in obtaining them,
sorrly hampers the rich and poor who are spending
their time and energy to try and relieve the bur-
dens and lessen the loads Of the poor. .:

There has never been SO much

on the contrary the customary
lamentation over the scarcity OF the

On some OF those rocky little farms
back in Ynnkeeland, particularly IN

all these years remained enough Of
the pure Morgan blood for purposes
Of rehabilitation. A few determined
breeders remained loyal to the goos
little horses in the days OF thei
misfortunes, and they are now IN
position to reap a reward for thei
allegiance. Our Uncle Samuel

ner. There are those who are given
to sneering at anything that savofs
OF government supervision in matters
of breeding, but It is well to remem-
her that, after all, the government
is the people, And while knockers
may be thicker than Morgans, good
deal, the old gentleman has a habit
of going right along about his busi-
ness regardless of fault finders
There is one good feature, at least,
of government effort. A line OF
procedure will be mapped out and
chung to until results worth while are
attained.
1t is distinctly up to the Morgan
breeders, just now, both to support
the government and TO help them
selves. Naturally some may diffe'
with those in charge of the govern
| ment stud in Vermont, as to wha
particular strains or families are bes
adapted to the work, but to ALLOW
| that to stand in the way OF lending
hand would be picayunish an
narrow. Men disagree as to tb
merits of the various families Of tn
standardized horse, but the ma
