lists should take the notion to destroy all of their
trees in this manner, it would become necessary to
protect fruit bearing trees from them by prohibi-
tory laws, or in other words, to discipline them.
AS offenses against this law grew less, it would
gradually become obsolete. and would, eventually
be superseded by others less drastic or be finally
abolished. Study of ancient statute books show
this to have been the case in nnumerable in
stances.
1t is, therefore, the duty of every person in the
interests of his own welfare and of the welfare of
his fellowmen to strive with all his power to OBJ
serve the particular form of discipline under which
his condition places him, and to respect it, without
regard to his personal inclinatons of the moment,
or to his own views of it's necessity of the bene-
fit to be derived from it. This is true under all
circumstances, and it is particularly to be born in
mind when one is working under arbitrary
authority.
Many times shop workmen factory hands
cannot see the necessity of certain rules which they
are expected to observe. Often there is no neces-
sity for such rules But the way to obtain their
repeal is not to break them. That only creates
the necessity for the rules. On the other hand,
if the rules are scrupuously observed, it becomes
much easier to convince those having the
responsibility for the work in hand of the need
less character of the rules and thereby to have
them abolished.

THINK 1T OVER
By keene

Do you remember the day you left school to
take your first position in the business world! The
future was bright and full of promises, wasn't it?
Somebody expected big things of you Somebody
KNEW that you had character. determination and
ambition. Somebody knew you weren't gutter.
Somebody looked for you to make career for your
self, and somebody KNEW that you could do it.
Then something entered your life and everything
went dead wrong.
But are you going to view or think of the
irrevocable past as wholly wasted wholly gone?
Why certainly not. You're going to rise on the
wrecks of the past and attain that which you have
always longed for, sought for
You're going to resolve NOW to forge ahead.
Its never too late to mend and you're never
too old to learn. You're not going to put to-
morrow the overcoat you should wear today. Re-
member King Oscar of Sweden mastered the
Chinese language when he was past eighty years
young
Your future is bright and you're NOT in
rut. Success is merely matter CT training and
hard work.
TO earn more you must know more. Get the
training now that will qualify you eventually for
position and not job.
Make up for lost time, even if you must begin
at the bottom. Owen Kildare did it. He began
in the sums of New York with his A-B-C's at the
age of twenty eight and at thirty-fve was writing
for Success, Scrbner's and the Cosmopolitan.
He made up for lost time Where there's
will there's way You can do it. Think. it
over.

ALFRED HENRY LEWIS
BIZ Il. Nobody

There died in New York few days ago one of
earths noblemen-a man who rendered most i'm
portant service to the world to the thinker and to
the clod
Alfred Henry Lewis was in the beginning on
ly a newspaper guy'-at the close he was one of
the greatest truth teers'' literature could wish
for.
We have watched Dan Qun mount to the
highest pinnacle of literary fame; we were with
him in thought when he did hack work in Kan
sas City, and glored in his bravery when through
1.-The Boss' he told New York just how rotten the
city was.
After the publication of THE Boss came ar
tices in the leading magazines under the name of
Alfred Henry Lews-artcles that the world need
ed, for in every column were the throb of
heart that beat but for the common head " and in
every page were all the emotions of the world.
He was trenchant, at times vitroc pen; the
principles he advocated we're spear thrusts to
pride, fraud arrogance and greed.
From the platform of Truth Right and Justice
he waged fight for men in mill and mine for
children in store and factory. In of his great
articles, What Life Means to Me-" he said: Il
study the world and pry among its wheels and
cogs and springs for motives Yes, indeed, he
did study the world, and gave the world the fruits
of his study in unmistakabe English.
He pried down and brought to light the truth
that had been relegated to the rubbish heap, and
that same truth was used in his fearless fight for
the fuller freedom of the submerged that the COM
mon herd might enjoy God given heritage
He said: L have seen envy build schools and
vanity rear hospitals and create libraries" Surely
It's true. He might we'll have used the words of
the priests to the Sicambrian, Clovis: Burn
what thou hast adored, 0 world Bend thy neck
and adore what thou hast burned"
To Alfred Henry Lewis, Life meant: "A
Sahara, but one that held an oasis, green tree, a
fountain and the love of woman His pilgrim
age is over. Supreme and splendid he carried his
message to the world-carried it to his God, and
heard: WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL

Everyone is privileged to write and should
take an interest in helping to make the paper in

not be averse to writing articles because you do
not happen to be frst-class granmaran; ideas
are what we want. Give your ideas in as good
shape as possible and we will attend to stringing
them together for the convenience of the readers.
Rest assured that whatever you write will be pub

all things let not your angry passions rise" if the
editor in his judgment, does not publish ALL you
write but occasionally assigns some part of your
efforts to the waste basket. For you must remem-

published makes it necessary to be very discreet
at all times and conservative on many subjects.
We must work in a sort of quiet way in order to
avoid arousing antagonism which we might not be
able to overcome.
We would ask those who care to be a member
of the present staff of contributors to kindly

STATE WARDS LIKE MOVIES
AND BOOKS

Miss Miriam E. Carey, supervisor of Libraries
for tee State Board Of Control, heartily endorses
the movies which have been lately introduced in the
different institutions throughout the state. We
assure Miss Carey that the movies is greatly ap-
preciated tonic for the blues which periodically
creeps in u.s.
The following is taken from the ST. Paul Pic
neer Press:
There %, 4OS books in institution libraries
said Miss Carey. The books get hard usage, but
1t is seldom they abused. Even among the in
sane this is true. The inmates select their own
books in most institution libraries. But at the pri-
on and reformatory it is necessary have lists from
which the men make order slips in their cells They
have had this privilege for years in Minnesota
The value of music in institutions has not
been overlooked. The several hospitals have pi-
amos in many wards. The majority of the institu-
tons have bands, orchestras and chors.
Flowers and plants distributed through the
institutions. not only for ornament, but because
their beauty has definite effect in calming and
cheering. Then there are the movies. Moving
pictures in shut-n places have brought more happi-
ness than any other invention, and in Minnesota
they are great feature.

DISCIPLINE
By Beau EsDrita

Discipline, no matter how easy in form, is apt
to prove onerous to those who must serve under
it. And vet, it is one of the prime essentials of
civilization. In fact, it is discipline which makes
civilizations discipline in form or another
which is at the bottom of every activity of civil
lied society All government is discipline; aimed
to control the individual for the benefit of the
mass, if it be free government aimed to control
the mass for the benefit of class an individual
if it be an oligarchy or an autocracy.
All education is discipline All religion is dis
cipline. 1t is something which it would be impos-
sible to conceive of society without. Every per-
son. matter what his station in life, is and must
be amenable to discipline in form or other.
And few persons like to live under disciplined
Since discipline, in one form or another, is
something which man, in his present state, cannot
do without, it is the endeavor of every thinking
person to make the particular form of discipline
under which he or she must live and work as light
burden as possible. Unfortunately, there are al
ways some in every community who are thought
less or negligent in this respect.
In every large manufacturing or commercial
concern, for instance, each shop department has
certain rules governing those who work in that
particular shop or department. If these rules are
generally lived up to, occasional lapses violations
will, as rule, be overlooked in view of the general
record. AS the shop or department manager sees
that the rules unnecessary to the general well
fare of the work in hand-sees that the workmen
or workwomen in his or her department are en-
deavorng of their own will to conserve the inter-
ests of the work-these rules are mtigated or
abolished. On the other hand, if the working
men and women careless in regard to the rules
that are in force other and more stringent rules
will be substituted for or added to them In other
words, discipline is frightened or relaxed in exact
proportion as those under it respect it or not.
This is true in every walk of life in every activity
of civilized society.
To use another illustration: All law is a form
of discipline. There are laws covering all of the
laws against society which experience has taught
u.s. men are liable to commit. There are many
ofenses against society which might be committed,
that are not covered by any laws. because we have
not found laws dealing with these particular mat
tiers necessary. Men have never yet practiced
the gentle art of blowing up plum trees with nitro
glycerine, for instance, and there is no law pro-
hibting such an act. But if number of orchard
