HAVE THE FINAL DECISION
Great Men Borrow Others Brains, but
In the End Always Decide
for Themselves.

The wise man seeks the wisdom of
others, but, II also strong. decides for
himself and acts on his own judg-
ment The unwise man relies first
and last on others. for even If he
seeks wisdom in multitude or coun-
selors. he is the plaything of the lat
est adviser and does what this man
says. no matter If It fatty contradicts
what was first advised
There exists confusion OF thought
between taking counsel and relying on
ones AZ. II appears to be thought that
asking information about ones course
from those who have Information that
he has not is leaving the decision to
them. But the two things are not
the same. An intelligent or sensible
man knows that his judgment may be
biased by looking at matters only from
his own point of view or from having
insufficient data for forming ,udg-
ment But when he has consulted
friends and increased his information.
then, II strong and wise. he thinks
for himself and steers his own course
This is the method OF such men as
Socrates and Lincoln. Napoleon,
Roosevelt and Wilson. Socrates did
not believe he was the wisest OF the
Greeks, but he questioned his fellows
eyerlastingly until he became con-
vinced perforce that he was less un-

Roosevelt took his cabinet freely into

esQue phrase, borrows all the brains

man, than the man who takes no
pride in his own character.
Once a prominent statesman
said: 81 do not care SO much
about what people think of me
il is what | think of myself. As
long as I keep a clear conscience
and as long as that conscience
approves my conduct, | can reg
ulate my life by it, without fear
of what people may say. My
motives may be misconstrued and
my character may. be slandered,
but if think well Of myself; if
thai something that is within me,
called conscience, approves my
conduct, then I am right. - The
man who made this remark, al
though he had been the target tt
envy and malice, uttered a truth
thatwas as great as those truths
contained in the divine proverbs.
He had his own self-respect, and
because he did have it, he finally

NO WAR PROBABLE.

The outlook now is for an
early and peaceable settlement OF
the Mexican difficulty. Huerta
has given his unqualified assent
to the arrangements proposed
bv Brazil, Argentina and Chile
that they use their good offices
I'M promoting better understand
ing between Mexico and the
United States, to which President
Wilson had already agreed. This
means that the three South
American countries will arbitrate
the matters in controversy, al
though it will not be called arbi-
tration. It is probable that war
will be avoided and that before
the incident is finally closed a
provisional government will be
established that the United
States and other countries can
afford to recognize.
At no time has this country
desired war with Mexico, and a
peaceable solution Of the diff
cnltv will meet with the approx
Ell Of the American people, as

triumphed over those who would
have destroyed him. But sup
pose he could not have had the
approval Of his conscience. He
would have been down and out.
Just as has been the lot Of many
otLer men. You can take it. as
the colored man would say, as
"the Gods truth" that no man
Is ever down and out as long as
he keeps HIS self-respect, unless
misfortune should make it so.
He would then have his self-re-
spect, but he might not be able
TO make the achievements that
his very soul would cry out for,
and which otherwise would be
his. &a&A
And the man who has his own
self-respect always has the re-
spect of others. AS rule, ne
does his duty today, always to-
day. With the poet he can say
"Happy the man and happy ne
alone.
He who can call today his own
He, who, secure within. can say,
To- morrow, do thy worst for l
have lived today"
The man who lives today lives
out his life with self-respect and
without any dread Of the ap-
pearancc of some dim spectre to
haunt his life tomorrow or ever
When one begins to lose self-re-
spect, right then and there he or
she should abandon that which
causes this feeling of regret, 9th.
erwise, in time, conscience Will
become hardened and the proper
degree Of self-respect will have
taken it's departure forever

LOSS OF sELF-REsPECT.

The most pitiful thing in life
Is the loss Of self-respect. It is
almost putting the word "finis'
to usefulness, for the man who
has no personal pride, no pride OF
character, no sense or apprecia-
ton Of a good name, which is
asmore to be desired than riches,
has reached a lower position in
life where he is really an object
of pity.
The man who does not respect
himself cannot expect others to
respect him. A man who thinks
well of himself, not vainly or
egotistically, but who has pride,
who feels and knows that he has
a character to maintain, and even
to cultivate, will naturally be
more circumspect in what he
does and really more honorable
IN his dealings with his fellow

long as it is peace with honor.
How this can be arranged fur
rishes the broadest field for spec
ulationA, but the diplomats will
probably find a way to do it.
adequate apology and war in
demnitv from Mexico seem indis-
pensable, and these would prob
ably have to be followed by our
withdrawal from Mexican soil.
Persuading Huerta to efface him
self looks like a hard job, but it
NAV be that Huerta will figure
that if he steps out now he can
"come back" later.
It looks as if the United States
was in honor bound to esta bhsh
a stable government south of the
Rio Grande before it withdraws.
in the interests Of humanity and
incidentally in the interests of
the American holders Of over a
billion dollars, worth Of Mexican
property. The mediators may see
the necessity Of guaranteeing a
permanent stable government.
but unless they do, the duty OF
this government seems clear. 1t
is to stay I'M Mexico until it has
given the Mexican people a gov

world can recognize.-Beaumont
