1t is he who resolves to succeed and
who at every fresh rebuff begins alb
solutely again with a more determined
will to reach the goal of success. The
shores Of fortune are covered with the
stranded wrecks OF men of brilliant
ability, but who have wanted courage,
faith and education, and have, there
fore persisted in sight Of more resolute
but less capable adventures who sue
coed in making port.
Hundreds of men go to their graves
in obscurity, who have been obscure
only because they lacked the pluck,
the ambition, and the will power to
make the first effort, and who, could
they only have resolved to begin,
would have astounded the world by
their achievements and successes. The
fact is that as Sydney Smith has we'll
said, that, in order to do anything in
this world that is worth doing we
must not starve, shivering on the bank,
thinking Of the cold and danger, but
jump right in up to our eyes and
scramble the best we can to make it
to the other side.
The great trouble with many of the
American people is, they are not will
ling to start at the bottom off the

The Scholar in Politics.

He is one of the signs of the time. He is a
straw which shows which way the wind is blow
ing.
When one stops to think of it it is surprising
how many scholars we have in the active
work. There is President Wilson himself, of
course, who must head the list. There are w. H.
Page and Thomas Nelson Page, both in the dip
lomatic service There is Winston Churchill; and
there many others.
And now the Sixth district comes into the
lime-light and with it's own scholar in politics,
Professor Ebert Russell, who will make the race
for Finly Grays seat next fall
We may surely expect more of this as time
goes on. AS the practical affairs of life come to
have an increasing share of attention in the COL
leges, graduates will aspire more and more to en-
ter the arena of practical affairs.
But even if this were not true the mere drive
of conscience would force these men into activity.
We are coming to realize that education is So
cal product; almost gift, one might say, from
society. When education was eligible only to
private incomes and the privilege of a special
class it was natural for each educated man to look
upon his culture private property to the
fruits of which he was alone entitled. But now
that the community gives a complete education
to the young man he can no longer think of it as
L private monopoly but rather as a trust. He be-
comes the steward Of something that belongs by
right to society.
AS trained and cultured men come to realize
this aspect of education they will seek to make
returns by active political work, than which no
form of social service is more noble or more es-
sential. They will even come to welcome the op-
portunities for such service with eagerness rath-
er than make a lame consent as has too often
been the case.

The Bulgarians take advantage OF
this to send money to slum dwellers

arrive they work for the man who fur

paid their passage and high rate OF

All Men Need
Will Power
by WALTER DENNIS.

Let no one despair because he has
broken his resolution. Fichte has we'll
said that nothing is more destructive
Of character that for a man to lose all
faith in his own resolutions, because
he has SO often determined. and again
determined to do that which, never
the less, he has never done. Here, as
elsewhere, the statute of the perfect
man" is attained only by slow grada-
ton of travel, study, effort and pa
thence.
The whole armor can not be put on
at once; the first victory will render
the succeeding one easier, until the
very combat will be desired for the
luxury of certain conquests. The an
gel of martyrdom is brother of the
angel of victory
But, whether Unborn or acquired, de-
cision is a quality vitality important
Even brains are secondary in import
ance to will power. The intellect is
but half a man; the will-power is the
driving wheel, the spring of motive
! power. A vacillative man no matter
what his abilities are, is invariably
pushed aside i'll the race of life by
the man of determined will.

"Commercialism.''

One of the interesting things about the mass
of pamphlets, reports, critiques, questionnaires,
etc, which are being circulated in regard to pub
lie schools is the prominence being given to the
movement for industrial training. Many schools
are being equipped to turn a graduate out as a
trained man ready to earn a living. And the
same thing is being done for the girls. An effort
is now being made in New York City to equip
each girl with complete knowledge of home
economics and methods.
Serious objections are being raised to this
and some of them are legitimate, but it seems to
us that one common objection is rather mk-and-
watery; we refer to the charge that all this is
breeding "commercalism."
There seems to be notion prevalent in some
quarters that the men who go in for commerce
and industry are destined to become sordid, ma
Iteriastc and dead to the appeals of the more re-
fined interests Of life. These folks have visions
of money grabber' and naively suppose that
every commercial man is money-grabber in en-
bryo.
This is simply not true.
In its Grass beginnings every movement
or development in human society has begun by
upsetting the old Standards destroying old moral
ideas, and initiating against the accepted type of
personality. Religion even, does it. Every great
founder of religion has been called hereto in
his day.
It is doubtless true that in the course of it's
becoming adjusted to the race our new (com-
paratively) system of commerce and industry
are producing undesirable type of human but
deeper analysis will reveal that this is super
fetal and bound to pass away.
AS a matter of fact it could be shown that
"commercialism' is making for many of the most
admirable virtues: temperance, for instance, not
in alcohol only, but in the of all things. The
demands of success in business call for thor
oughly sober man. And reliability, also We take
this for granted now but brief review of past
conditions will show that it is being developed
HOW never before. 1t is coming to be seen
that honesty is essential to commercial success
Many do not think this but they will be compelled
to, finally.
These, and many other admirable qualities
are being built into the modern man and becom-
ing Instructive
This is not to say that the type now being
evolved by present industrial conditions is ideal
but it is to say that have little cause to elevate
the eyebrows when the word ''commercalism'
| is mentioned.

ladder and work up, but prefer start
ing at the top and working down.
They are not mindful of the fact that
the few who have gained access to
the top round of the ladder of success,
have been the men that started as mes
sengers for some big office, errand
boy, delivery boy in some country
store and many other mental positions
that the aspirant of today.who is look
ing for success, would consider de-
grading to the extreme.
Decision Necessary.
1t will not do to be continually and
perpetually calculating and adjusting
changes, it did all very we'll before
the food when man could consult
his friends upon an intended puhlica-
ton, invention or some new idea in
science for a hundred and fifty years,
and then live to see it's operation as a
success or failure for six or seven cen
turtles afterwards. The man of to-
day waits and doubts and hesitates
consulting his cousin, his neishbor.
brother, uncle and his wOuld-b be
friends until one day he awakes to
find himself sixty or seventy years of
age and having wasted all his time
consulting this one and that one, his
ambition is. dwarfed, his will power is
gone and then he starts out for the
rest of his life growing, complaining.
finding fault with the national govern
ment, state government and even the
ward heller in his precinct, but the
fact of the matter is that if the
wealthy men of this country were
compelled to distribute their money
equally among the men Of this country
in ten years time majority of them
would have it back again. And why?
Because they have the ability to do
things practically and not theoretical
ly.
This world was not made for the
slow. squirmish, fastidious man, but
for those who are Industrious and with
power to do something.
Obstacles and perplexities every
man must meet and conquer or they
will conquer him. and there is no fixed
rule by which you may conquer, but
the nearest one that can be given is
to have a purpose in lief, backed by
strong will power and a determine
ton to succeed and no force this side
of heaven can keep you down, al
though your friends quite often count
you down and out when these reverses
come, but remember young man, it is
only for night, because it is just as
