THE ONE woRp

That stands out above all others in
America today is efficiency. 1t stands
for the new way Of doing things and
means the power to get results, with
out the leaks that waste energy and
money. A writer in one Of the nation
al weeklies recently declared that the
government could through increased ef-
ficiency save over $4,000, 900 a year.
Another writer says the railroads could
save 100000 a day If increased ef-
ficiency were secured in all their de-
partments. Now the foundation Of an
efficiency is mental and physical con-
troll. There are hundreds OF men and
women working every day that are
practically half dead.'' They lack that
vital energy that means "the power to
get results" the cause OF which Is bad

In this weeks issue the Globe publish
es two editorials. one from the Lewis
ton Tribune, Democratic. and the other
from the Portland Oregonicn, Repub-
lican, bearing upon the same subject,
President Wilson'S power and popular
ity with his party leaders, which we
commend to the consideration OF our
readers. While of the same political
faith as Mr.. Wilson. the Tribune,
like the New York World. which admits
now that it wilfully blinded itself to
the presidents shortcomings for the
first fifteen months of his autocratic
reign, but could no longer do so and
retain its selfrespect speaks rather
plainly but respectfully its mind In re-
gard to the presidents course and his
relation to the other leaders Of his
party and to the country in the APP
pointments which he undertakes to
make. The Tribune, again like the
World, has a number of times in the
past dealt pretty vigorously with the
Mexican policy of the administration.

course pursued there. and recommend

The editorials under consideration both
tend to show that Mr.. Wilson is fast
losing that confidence and respect Of
his party leaders which he at first held
so fully and which gave him the pow
er to bring them to their knees and
cause them to accept his views and
terms along legislative and other lines
with such readiness. He has played the
game too fast and furious for them.

Once more the report comes from
Washington that Mr.. Bryan is about
to retire from the Wilson cabinet and
that Senator Stone Of Missouri win
succeed him as secretary of state. The
reason given for Mr.. Bryan's action is
that he expects to make the race for
president in 1916, and wants to be free
to repair his political fences in the
interim. especially to set himself right
with the big Texas delegation over the
Mexican policy. which, 1t is said, Presi-
dent Wilson lays at Mr.. Bryan's door.
The notification of this announcement
win be received with enthusiasm and
public acclaim--the nation can far better
stand Mr.. Bryan as a presidential can
didate than as secretary of state. over
which latter they have no control.

1t does seem funny for the Globe

we find that primitive man still re-
tained the idea of punishment as
the medium through which it must
find expression. And since punish
ment from physical source as ex-
emplified in himself woul d
not suffice. he turned to those
other nature forces over which he
had failed to achieve dominance.
Thus were born the primitive wor-
ships. with nature forces as objec-
tive, as the sun, the winds, the seas,

these forces to punish. men were
drawn more closely together around
the figure which had greatest conf
dence in his own ability to inter-

creatures of confidence.
Forces of punishment were in
time aligned with forces of reward
in the confidence of man, and yet
again in time were superseded by
them. But more and more in the
hearts of men grew confidence in
the powers of intercession held by
some fellow man. The tribes unit

But here vanity dealt blow to
confidence. Kings, after time,
forgetting that they were but crea-

to power. Mans confidence in his
appointed rulers was shaken, and
the old, long dormant individual

Away BACK In chlldnOO0 days we
began 10 form habits, both good and
bad. We were often warned to be-
ware of the evil things of life but
who ever saw a child who did not
think he or she knew more about
what was good and bad than the
parents or older folk?-and 80 we
went on forming bad habits. AS
we grew older we began to see that
our parents were right. but. instead
of using our wlll-power to overcome
these little evil habits. we sacrificed
it on the altar of lust and pleasure
seeking, and went on forming more
harmful and will. destroying habits.
1t has been loudly proclaimed that
lack of will-power is the cause of
the drink, cigarette and drug habit.
Now, in view of all the findings Of
scientific research, would 1t not be
nearer the truth to say that the al
cohol, cigarette and dope habit, be-
gan in the ignorance and careless
ness of youth, is responsible for the
present lack of will-power? Aye,
we believe so. There is. however,
a nearer cause than this, a cause
which we believe to be the True
beginning Of the lack of power to
resist temptations: When we are
tempted by little evils, we give In
to them thinking that they do not
amount to much, but when they are
all added together the weakening
power that they exert on the will
power is tremendous and over
whelming; and that's why we have
found that we lack the power to say
No when the big temptations as
sail us. Yes, we are too willing to
yield to the little things that envir-
onment and circumstance place in
our way. We live too much in the
present and neglect to prepare for
the future, and in the moment of
temptation and supreme test the
consequence is-Lack of Will-Pow-
er, Crime, and Disgrace.
Now that we have located the
Cause of lack of will power why
not go a step farther and see where
the remedy is and how to apply it?
for every human being has within
an unvielding will-power if one will
but TRAIN ONESELF to make USE OF
it. The man who wishes to have a
large brick building built for his
USE, can not get it by saying, i
want this building" No. it must
be constructed brick by brick. and
in time he will have the finished
building. And 80 it is with the
man who would have an unyielding
poSer of will. He must start with
the foundation and build up his
strength bit by bit. He must learn
to master the little things, other
wise he will be powerless to master
the big things. He must be willing
and ready t. deny himself and in
time he will find that he has the
will power at his command-the
power " hicE has been bis from the
beginning, only that be had not
heretofore trained himself to exert
that power and. therefore, it had
heen useless to him.
Have we not proven that there is
a fallacy to the placing of the re-
sponsibility for crime on lack of
back bone', and is it not true that
carelessness and thoughtlessnes in
supplying the cravings of the body
is the Real and True Cause of all
the crime and folly that is dragging
humanity down to destruction?

There are many such about US:
1t may be that one is near.
Look around you. If you find it.
Speak the word that needed SO.
And your own heart may be strengthened
By the help that you bestow.
It may be that some one falters

And word from you might save him.
Help to make the tempted strong.
Look about you. O. my brother.
What sin is yours and mine
If we see that help is needed
And we give no friendly sign.
Never think kind words are wasted.
Bread on waters cast are they.
And it may be we shall find them

Coming back when sorely needed.
