DUTY.
az Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Cranel

The very best kind of man and the
most useful to his fellows is the man who
does what he ought to do.
There is but one cowardice, II is not
doing ones duty. There is but one fail
ure, the failure to discharge an obliga-
ton. There is but one sin, not doing
what we ought
The biggest word in the language Is
OUGHT. The man who keeps 1t bright
within him, always visible and always
revered, is real man.
There is so much of the superfluous
among us, so much glory in affairs that
are none of our business, so much success
that is essential treachery, and so much
goodness that is but interesting mean
ness.
II is better to keep your word than to
speak pleasantly.
1t is better to tell the truth than to
lie entertainingly.
1t is better to be loyal than to be eff
fectionate.
1t is better honestly to earn the wages
paid you than to have grand ideas on the
labor problem.
II is better for you, if you are an en-
ployer, to give your workers fair wages,
and little more, to treat them with con-
sideration, and to recognize them as hu-
man beings than to wiring money from
them to give to charity.
II is better to be honest toward women
than attractive.
1t is better for woman to deceive no
man than to win one.
1t is better to pay your debts than to
give to the poor. :,
1t is better to earn your living and
take yourself of other peoples backs
than to be q saint or genius.
1t is better to have little efficiency
than lot of knowledge.
| 1t is better to do one good act than
to speak many good words.
One earned dollar is worth more to
YOU than q thousand given you.
There are" said Elizabeth Inchbald,
persons who love to do everything good
but that which their immediate duty re-
quires. There are servants that Will

full control over the policy"
Aside from that.
There's the nub Of the whole mat
ter from the workers viewpoint.
II doesn't cost him q cent to become
insured: but II sets up a valuable
thing which he must lose IL he
leaves the employ OF the company
for whom he Is working. and II Is a
thing which the company can take
from him by discharging him.

This thing has more than one side.
Rut 1t tends TO prove one thing
that IT is possible TO insure work
ingmen as a class without medical
examination. Many insurance men
have long known this. The fact that
people are at work proves that they
are good average risks Therefore
it would be quite possible for the
state To insure all workers on a
basis which would not impair indus

Filling His Pockets With
the Dollars of Workers

If the Americans are not a sickly
race. they are on the high road to max,
ing themselves one. for they have the
Ealing habit" and spend $500, 900, 600 on
patent medicines yearly
Probably most of these people are not
sick at all, but THINK they are, and
soon will become so il they persist in
gearing up the machinery of one part
of their bodies at the expense Of the
other parts by a little stimulation on
alcohol land other drugs still worse),
which most of these medicines contain.
People are really divided into only two
classes: Those who work and those who
do not work-and il is obvious that as
there is just about so much work to do,
that somebody who is already working
must not only do his own work but
shoulder the work of the idler in order
to keep the balance.
The person who does no work Tor al
most none), has come to be known as a
parasite whether he belongs to the very
rich or very poor or any of the grades
between.
That he pays a substitute to do his
work makes no difference in the original
premise.
1t is a proposition where money does
not enter.
When fundamentals are to the fore,
money slips into the background.
There are some people sick from over
work; quite unfit for work of any kind !;
but the greatest number of the spend
ers of the two million dollars for medi-
cines are the idlers.
With no pressing work which must
be done; with no special duties calling
with the rising sun, the human mind and
body relapses into sluggish mass and
lose their virility.
This is particularly true of women
who, throughout the ages, have turned
their thoughts upon the little world of
their own making.
When they are poor, with many babies
looking to them for care, they rise to
the occasion and forget themselves, but
when they are not poor and have few
natural responsibilities, they fall into a
restless, morbid brooding which nerve
and brain and muscle cannot long en-
dure.
These women are not to be especially
blamed.
Conditions are such that there are too
many children born into the world al
ready.
The American man objects strenuous
ly to his women folk going into business.
Her home is fairly well taken care OF
by the bakers, laundries and vacuum
cleaners.
What is to become of her?
She is casting about for mooring
and in the meantime she is out OF job
and sick.
This is largely responsible for the "ail-
ing habit which is filling the pockets
of the patent medicine man with the
dollars of the workers, to "cure" the
minds and bodies of those VINO do not
work.
