PLAYING THE GAME.
BY JAMES'A EDCERTON

There are two kinds of people-those
who play a square game and those
who stack the cards
Every game must have rules and a
code of honor. the game of life among
the rest.
The man who does not play accord
ing to the rules. who violates the code
OF honor, is an outcast if discovered.
And he is always in danger of being
discovered Sooner or later somebody
with real eyes in his head will watch
the cheater's game. Discovery will
mean disgrace and the tumbling of the
sharp's house of cards.
What kind of game do you playa
straight or crooked game?
If q crooked one what do you expect
to gain by it: Money: What is mon
ey compared to peace Of mind and self
respect?
Moreover, the ingenuity required to
cheat will almost invariably bring in
more money if applied to improving
ones game along straight and legiti-
mate lines.
After all, the crook is a coward He
Is afraid to meet other men on an
equal footing He is afraid to com
pete.
Any man of real spirit and manly
pride would be ashamed to confess
that he fears to engage other men on
equal terms and to match his ability
against theirs. Yet the crook makes
exactly that confession by resorting to
unfair methods.
Get in the game and play it straight.
Be too good a sport to admit you
can't meet others on equal terms.
There are many ways to play q
crooked game A corporation that OBJ
tains special privileges resorts to the
same mean advantage as the gambler
Who stacks the cards.
The merchant who mIsrepresents his
goods is morally on par with the con-
1dence man who sells gold brick.
A cheat on large scale Is just as
contemplate as cheat on small
scale. and he is more Of criminal be-
cause he Injuries more innocent people.
Yet men who. would not think of
cheating at cards. golf or baseball do
cheat In this larger and more Injurious
way.
1t Is time that we placed the code of
ethics In the business world on at least
ss high plane as it is in sports.

GOOD FOR ITS OWN SAKE.

A principle is impersonal. 1t belongs
to one as much as another 1t belongs
to him most who most belongs to it.
who is most loyal to it. Good is prin-
ciple 1t should be loved because it is
good
The right thing is the only thing
worth while. Wrong is negation. a
subtraction from our attainment and
happiness. We talk of self denial. but
we deny ourselves the thing that is
not for us in order that we may have
more abundantly of the thing that is
for us.
In the real sense the only self denial
is in doing evil. That does take away
from us actually. But to deny our
selves thing that Injuries us only adds
to US. To injure another Is to injure
ourselves. for action and reaction are
equal So that to refrain from injur-
ing another actually helps ourselves.
This. in way. is the selfish view Of
the case. We do right because that
furnishes Us most happiness. But
there Is an instinct In the soul that
tells us to do good without stopping to
consider what Its effects on us may be:
to do good because 1t is good: to do
good for the goods sake. And this is
the proper motive from which to act.
This takes out the element Of self seek
ing and puts Us on the impersonai
plane Of acting from principle. In
this case we help others because we
wish them well and want to make them
happy. We act for all because our
hearts go out to all and we would give
them blessing.
When we act on this higher plane we
are expressing our better natures. our
souls. We are coming into harmony
with the laws of our own being. We
] are shifting our point OF. motive from
the brute self to the divine self. We
are gaining harmony between the diff.
] ferent elements OF our own nature
/ that is. making the lower subject to
the higher. We are making the lion

We are passing from q

as master. We are passing from
dual. warning nature into one nature
at peace with itself.
This is the highest wisdom. 1t is in
nate in each of us. II we but listen to
the still. small voice we realize the
truth without being told it by another
All seeming good that is not in con-
formity to this real good is delusion.
There is no truth but truth. That
truth is in our own souls, and ii we
but hearken to its promptings it will

GOD GIVE US MEN.

The need Of the world today is men
amen who will call wrong a wrong.
who will fling a lie in the liars face,
: who wifi brave all hell for conviction.
who will die Ii need be that the truth
may live.
~ We hare had enough namby pamby
excuses. enough Guessing over Of evil,
enough hair splitting over nonessen-
tials. We need true souls that will
stand for the plain and simple truths
Of righteousness. We need men of
the chen Of oak, who know for what
rthey stand and dare to proclaim it.
WE need men who seem what they are.
-EhQ are not one thing to your face
and another to your back. who are not
here today and there tomorrow. We
need those who care more for being
siEht than they do for pleasing every
enc they meet. who are strong enough
and great enough to stand for God and
Aunanity, whatever the effect on them
selves.
These are the men and women who
have risen above sel6shness. These
ore they who for the sake Of truth will
hay down their lives. their earthly all.
These are the men of the stamp Of the
heroes. the martyrs. the great captains
for liberty. These are the men who

These are the men who will go through

We want men who will stand for the

may advance their private interests
