None of the signers to that petition
have ever been charged with any high
the freak charter which the dis
gruntled" are hell-bent upon having
ratified regardless of the conse-
quences.
There is little prospect, however, of
the measure prevailing. as the think
ing taxpayers of Daytona who are
voters will not allow the wool to be
pulled over their eyes by misrepre-
sentation. They will see on January
that the best interests of the city are
subserved and safeguarded by relegat-
ion and allowing commission-manager
charter to be prepared and submitted
to the people on February 9. That
the efforts of the disgruntled, and in
most cases defeated politicians, will
avail nothing is generally conceded,
although this same few are trying to
crawl on some band-wagon that may
bring them either emoluments or an
opportunity of personal aggrandize-
ment or the method to wreak venge-
ance upon someone for alleged per-
sonal wrongs.
If you are in doubt about the de-
merits of the proposed charter to be
/ submitted on January 4, get copy of
the act and study it carefully, and
then consult any of the men who
i signed the petition for charter COM
mission and get their opinion. If this

THE cOMPLAlNER.

You are not altogether satisfied with
yourself, with others, with your en-
vironment, with conditions. Nobody is
satisfied. Neither you nor anybody
else will ever be completely satisfied.
Full satisfaction leads to stagnation.
The satisfied man is fool. intoxicated
with his own satisfaction, never sober
enough to do more than stagger along
the road OF life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contented pig in the well-kept
sly.
Regulated dissatisfaction, dissa,is-
faction based upon fact, is a forerun-
ner Of success.
There is, however. wide gulf be
tween legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer, the disreputable knoCker, and
the everlasting kicker.
Life is made up OF alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete The two properly blended
are part OF the composition Of success.
The habitual complainer is an enemy
to himself, and he is despised by all
with whom he comes in contact He is
failure at the start, and will be a
failure as long as he INDUCES in
chronic dissatisfaction.
Conversely, the complete optimist is
dangerous to himself and menace to
society, because he does not know
enough to get out of the ruts or to
keep from stumbling into holes.
Dissatisfaction has a value only
when it spurs one on to better effort.
When it deadens ones faculties. as 1t
often does, and takes the gimp out of
him, so TO speak, it is an evil of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant complain
er. He has no. friends. He does not
occupy any position of responsibility,
and ne never will He cannot manage
himself or command others. He has
no respect for himself and nobody re-
spects him. He is no better than a
dead log floating on the stream, accom-
plishing nothing and serving only as a
menace to navigation.
Everybody has troubles, and while
every decent man is willing to help
others, he cannot afford to give more
than a part of his time to listening to
complaints, and he should not give any
Of his time to those which are not
legitimate ones and which he cannot
assist in remedying.
Keep your troubles to yourself or
confine them to your immediate
friends. Ninety per cent of trouble
doesn't appear. 1t exists wholly in the
mind.
Don't make a speciality of worrying.
There is real trouble to worry about,
and enough to keep you busy.
