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

The wise man seeks the wisdom oi
others, but, If also strong, decides fol
himself and acts on his own judg
ment. The unwise man relies first
and last on others, for even IL he
seeks wisdom in a multitude of 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
oneself. 1t 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 havine
insufficient data for forming a tudg.
ment. But when he has consulted
friends and increased his information
then, If 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
everlastingly until he became con.
vinced perforce that he was less un.
wise than they. Napoleon held a coun.
ell of war with his field marshals be.
fore every battle and heard and
weighed their every argument, but the
final decision was made by himself
Roosevelt took his cabinet freely into
his counsel and gave weight to their
judgment, but 1t was he himself who
decided the course of President Roose.
welt. Mr.. Wilson, in his own pictur
esque phrase, "borrows all the brains
he can," but the man has yet to be
discovered who determines his judg
ment as to what the president should
do.
The wise man knows his own limi
tations and tries to enlarge himself
through the wisdom and counsel OF
others. Then, If also strong, he takes
the tiller himself and steers the ship

The dominating instinct in man is
fear and this is why self-contempla,
tion Is dangerous. There are many
store rooms in the basement Of mans
consciousness, commonly known as
the sub-conscious mind, and in these
dark and forgotten corners many
strange things are stored, only wait
Ing for the opportunity when they
may come forth to puzzle and con-
found US.
There Is nothing mysterious or ter
rible about the subconscious phenom-

laws OF the universe, of which we are
a part, We frankly consider ourselves

from an incomprehenslbly remote past

We deem 1t not at all strange, mere
iy because we happen to be familiar
with the fact, that there are handed
down to US strong memories out of the
remote past In the form OF striking re-
semblances to grandparent, or to
q greatgrandparent, or to one even
still more remote. All inherited traits
are but cell memories; then why
strange or mysterious that there should
be handed down to us in the same way
and from the same source out OF that
misty past, dim memories, vague and
hebular. but none the less memories,
Of past long left behind in the ad-
Tancing consciousness Of the race?
In these latent Impressions will be
found the key to the very pitlful truth
that the dominant impression in the
mind OF man Is that OF fear, and that
this Is undoubtedly the source of those
so-called causeless terrors of early
childhood coming at q period before
terror should be known, and in later
years coming to us so furtiyely In the

WILL SCOTT SHOOT?

w. H. Scott, a former tresident

reported to have shot drummer,
Charles J. Fish, at Pocatello, Sun
day evening. The shot took effect
in the arm and shoulder and Fish is
expected to recover.
The two men had a quarrel over
some business matter and Scott is
said to have stepped behind the
counter and got an automatic gun
and ordered Fish to leave. Fish
made a rush at Scott and in the
scuffle that ensued the gun was en-
ptied with the results stated.
Fish is in the hospital and Scott
is going about his work. Both men

was over and it is not likely any
thing will be done in the court.
