Patriotic Advise to the Young

As one thinks of the United States
perhaps the first thing that Impress
es itself upon he mind is its great
strength. The stretch Of its prairiJs 5,
the depth of its forests. the breadth
of Its fields, the size OF its cities.
the height OF its SKY -scrappers.
the mites of Its steel railroads, the
roar OF It's factories and foundries aud
printing-presses. all these things
mean strength.
With this glorv of strength comes
an accompanying peril. IL may be
called the peril of "self.will. -
strength is a dangerous gift. II a
boy or citizen has II without
having with II good principles of hon

learn humility along with its glory
Of strength. We must recognize that
the business of life is not to have

WORKING ON ANOTHER TACK
In Endesvor to Reform Drinking Man
Temperance People Now Trying to
Throttle Liquor Traffic.

Formerly temperance workers. says
Professor Ross OF the University OF
Wisconsin. devoted their efforts to an
endeayor TO persuade man not to
drink. In the hope Of reforming him.
Nowadays We see that the thing TO do
Is to throttle the liquor traffic. In
accomplishing this latter. and far more
difficult and dangerous task, we ara
performing for society "once for all"
service which will have hundreds and
thousands OF boys and girls from
the temptations and allursments OF the
liquor evil. While We recognize that
the rescue missions OF our cities are

Unreasonable. We must magnify the
necessity for the 'once for all" service
which shall render unnecessary q large

STOCK SPECULATION AND MORALS.


In the money trust investigation Mr.
r. X. Sturgis, former president of the
New York Stock Exchange, was on
the stand. He was questioned as to
washed sales" and matched orders"
It may be briefly explained that
these are Wall street terms descrlp-
tive Of crooked practices used to create
q fictitious activity in certain stocks.
The object is to make the dear public
the "lambs"-buy.
When asked as to whether or not he
approved these practices Mr.. Sturgis
replied
/ approve OF transactions that pay their
proper commissions and are properly
transacted. You are asking me a moral
question, and l am giving you a Stock
Exchange answer.
Frank. to say the least
Also cynical!
By implication il admits that morals
have nothing to do with the Stock Eek.
change.
Some of us suspected as much be-
fore. Now we have it from one on the
inside.
This should be a warning to every
one who harbors even a dream of ever
gambling In stocks.
Avoid it as you would any other
shell game or confidence bunkO.
In the expressive language of the
street, 1t is not on the level.
Wall street only thrives on the poor
innocents Of whom IL is said that zone
Is born every minute"
The whole play is to fleece the
lambs"
Don't be one Of the fieeced.
The cynical answer of this former
Stock Exchange head reveals much
1t is easy to imagine brokers imbued
by the same spirit taking the money
OF poor dupes and then laughing in
their sleeves at the number of suckers
In the world.
There are several ways to stop stock
gambling. 1t should be done by law.
But In the absence of law there Is an
other way:
That is for the public to stop patron
izing II.
Don't play another mans game. espe-
cially If you have good reason to be-
lieve that he uses crooked methods.
Not only are the chances all against
you, but it is moral certainty that
you will be beaten in the end.
Stock gambling is a fame. and the
people that iutter about It are moths
that get their wings singed.
Don't be a moth.

Another of our nations glories "
its freedom. II costs a great deal, II
Is a priceless treasure. Yet with this
possession of freedom, freedom from

THE DIVINITY OF THE COMMON LIFE.

There are various kinds of snobbery,
but one of the worst is that which af-
fleets to despise common things.
Abraham Lincoln, who had not a
shred of the snob in his makeup, once
said. THE Lord must love the com
mon people; he made so many OF
them"
On its face that appears a witticism
Look deeper and you may see in 1t a
profound philosophy.
That which is most common is most
universal. and that which Is most uni
yersal is most divine.
Think ii over
Not only so, but that which Is most
common is often most beautiful.
What is more lovely than the rose,
the grass. the trees. the sky, the sea or
the stars?
They are all common.
Poe once said that the greatest
poems are those built about the home
ly emotions-the love OF man and maid.
Of mother and child. OF country, OF
God, OF home. Yet these emotions are
common.
Some one else has said that genius
consists In the ability TO express what
everybody else feels This Is but CIV
ing voice TO what is common 10 all
men.
The greatest things in me are not my
peculiarities, but the things | have In
common with my fellows, the fullness
with which give utteraDce to these
things. the points of contact ! have
