The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1914-10-24

penine In the world OF sclence that
, every person should take heart. a
splendid, glorious titanic future calls e
you. You are summoned to the battle
OF human betterment. Even eonsump-
ton. blindness, cancer and paralysis
may be placed upon the list Of curablea
next month. The faith Of the ssges Of
ali ages Is now being fulfilled.
The bright young man Of our town
who wants to hold the big positions be-
fore he has been tried out, is failure
before he starts. He viii always live
on dad or his wife will have to take in
washing to support him, There have
been at least ten failures ia Hays In
the last year-not because the oppoE.
tunities were not here, but-well lack
of initiative.
People in this country who are not
willing to do more than what they get
paid for, will never get paid fer any
more than they do. These smarties
usually become the gamblers, or later
in life develop into book-leggers or
something worse.
Your past record may have been ever
90 good, but you will fnd the public
will not cash it very long, even II you
do boast and brag about it. But you
will find that the most people OF the
west are from Missouri and ''must be
shown" low, for past successes are not
modern day victories.
When you cease TO snthuse over your
business, you lose. If tomorrow con-
fiict does not thrill you, you would bet
ter consult your doctor for you are run
down. You need winding.
The chosen heroes Of all ages have.
&C one time in their experiences, been
minonity leaders. Minorities have al
ways indicated humanity's struggles.
A stand-patter stands around and
shouts '1et good enough alone" Our
broad-ciothed, siik-hEttsd, Bestonian
ancestors mobbed Lloyd Garrison. and
the same crowd killed Lovejoy in Al
toona, but today We erect monuments
to their memory and try to forget the
hsseneEs Of our ancestors.
The statement is made that 95 per
cent Of the men, WIG start in business,
fail-90 per cent Of them fail because
they did not make due preparation
They found the job but they were lack
ing in jeb.knowlsdge. The common
excuse made is ''not cut out for 1t, +"
when it should be mot prepared for
g." The thing to do is to ''cut out
your loafing and learn your business.
Men who do not prepare for lifs are
like the examples we had on our streets
last week. A man, wife and two child
rem for two days worked the citizens of
Hays. It was the clearest case OF city
and county hold up that has been at
tempted in many 3 day. 1t Was almost
q success. Hays needs q rock pile for
for some Of these "Wearies.
There il a good opening in our town
for real imam on his job" to do. 1t
woald pay at least 500. month. but
the man who can do the work and will
stick to his job, has not been found.
Really knowing business and using an
opportunity will always spell success.
Not knowing it has always and will al
ways mean failure. These Cracker
jack" popcorn, get rich quick"
fellows have always been failures.
There il g college education waiting
for you and you ought to have it, young
man. There Is world education out
side Of college and the successful man
must. have it. But combination of
these two will give you big ideas. Big
ideas we'll worked make big men. Stop
being so suspicious, stop whining
around about not having chance but
ginger up and get into the game. /"
You will find that brains mixed with
muscle, In the average man, will &C.
1 eomplish more than five men Who use
only main strength and awkwardnsss.
Just 80 long as men refuse to think the
boss will draw the big wage.
A successful man will never tell you
business is over-done. Do not stand
around telling psOpls you are looking
for an opening" II you are one Of
that class. you would not know IA OPP
enin9 when you met Il. If you have
not done any thinking you will be found
sssocistlng with the dead-bsat bunch
who viii say to you, ''this IL mighty
poor town; business IL dull; nothing Do
ing, no chance for an honest man; do
not stop here" Get away from such
failures. be hustler. Be an Over.
land limited and you will find Hays one
OF the Hvest and best towns in GLORIOUS
Kansas

with the thinking age and you VIII soon
