posed several weeks ago, when the Inter-
state Commerce commission granted
authority to the railroads east of Chicago
to advance passenger rates from 2 to "a
cents per mile, the lines TO the west have
prepared to demand a similar advance,
and their passenger officials assert that
there lie every reason to believe that the
application will be granted.
In this movement to push the passenger
rate up one-half cent per mile, It Is as
serted by the railroad men that II will
not be a fight by any one road, but, in
stead, every road operating west of a
line drawn north and south of Chicago
will work together and for the one end.
In a way, the railroad officials have
kept their plans to themselves. though

president of the Burlington, let the cat
out of the bag, SO to speak. He told
the newspapers there that not later than

demand the right to push fares up one.

WHY YOUNG MEN FAIL

One of the principal reasons why
young men make a failure in life is
because they have a wrong idea of
what life really means and requires of
the individual. The course of life is
not one upon which people can drift
in safety 1t is necessary to hew to
the line and keep working in order to
make success. The great essential
that is SO often forgotten by the
young man who enters the employ of
an individual or concern, is that in
order to insure the permanence Of the
position 1t is necessary for the en-
ploye to not only earn his salary, but
also enough more by his efforts to pay
a profit to his employer. Unless this
is done the employee is bound to lose
out and be compelled to seek another
position. Business is a cold blooded
proposition and has little sentiment in
it in these days of fast and furious
competition. 1t is the fellow who gets
there first, through honest means, who
wins out and reaps the reward for his
effort. No business man, no matter
in what line he is engaged can afford
to carry an employee on the payroll
who is not capable of earning not only
his own salary, but a dividend for the
firm. The employee who is stickler
for specified hours for working is
building upon a poor foundation for
commercial success. If it takes on
extra hour to finish job, by all means
put in the extra hour, even if you are
not paid for your time.
