men who would rather spend four do
lars for booze than two dollars for
Chautauqua ticket.
Some men must think or die; others
would haye a stroke of apoplexy if /
they did think. Constructive thinking |
will open up new thought centers of the I
brain, so if you do not want headaches /
let the other fellow do your thinking; |
but if you do, he is the power while |
you are the machine.
If you will fit, square and polish
yourself, you will find that the builders
of nations will need you; that society
wants you; but you will find unframed,
unpublished, unprepared people are
dreg on the market in Western Kansas.
The simplest people are always the
greatest. Did you ever notice a man
strutting along the street, but could
not recognize the average man? He is
nothing but a puff-ball balloon, held
down by his big feet.
There are thousands of things we can
get along without, but virtues and fun
are indispensable.
Some people are so everlastingly sell
fish that they are not willing to grant
the other fellow the right to his own
/ opinions.
Some men advocate an undertaking,
good within itself, but if you suggest a
! little change or offer a qualifying
clause, by them, you are designated as
knocker or a clog on the wheels of
time.
1t will not be long before it will be
crime to capitalize property for more
than it is worth. 1t is diabolical to
force wages down and prices up so
dividends can be paid on watered stocks
The hour is not far off, when these
''hold-up" men of a supposed refined
type will be sent to the ''pen" for such
deeds. There are number of things
our fathers did and that were consider
ed highly proper that present day sons
tried to do and are branded thieves"
The world does move.
Clsss legislation is always against the
general rights of the many. 1t makes
small preferred class. 1t enriches
the few and enpoverishes the many.
Only dishonest weaklings in the game
of life would ask for special privileges.
1t is recognized by all economists
that labor should receive more than
twenty-five per cent of the wealth it
produces. One of the near big prob
lens of the future is to correct this
wrong. Laws for better wealth dis
tributions must be enacted or we will
continue to witness strikes, lock-outs,
boycottings and the calling out of the
MALTA to put down local riots. These
} mentioned acts are only the protests of
) masses for wrongs long endured.
