Views Of The Press
Rich And Poor In The Courts

The rich man may get the better
of his INDECENT antagonist in the
law suits Of civil life, but often
these victories cost him high. There
are many very astute lawyers who
rarely take their clients cases into
court. II they can get any kind Of
q decent settlement. they close up
the matter to the clients advantage.
It is not merely the lawyers bus
mess to throw himself into his
clients case and fight it for all it is
worth. He should also see the other
side. II the opponents position has
its strong points. the lawyer who
is a true friend to his client viii
advise compromise. The immediate
fee win have added to his reputa-
tion for wise counsel.
Were this siprit more generally
to prevail. justice would be easier
for the poor man. The big fellow
may be able TO win with his COM
rand OF legal resources. But bat

theoretically rich and poor should
be equal in the courts. Actually it is
an almost impossible ideal to re-
alize. The Harry Thaws are within
their rights if they spend every dol
lar Of their money in hiring the best
legal advice. And it would never be
wise to encourage litigation by pro-
viding unlimited legal talent for the
poor man. so as to place him on an
absolute level with wealthy clients
in civil cases.
The rich man seems to get the
best Of everything in this world. It
is the law Of life. He hires the
most skilful doctors, and gets well
where the poor man sueeumbs. He
employs expert foremen for his fac
tories. and wins more wealth. while
the struggling business man fails
for lack Of competent assistance.
Similarly the man with the long
purse has the most clear headed.
astute, and learned lawyers. They
put their clients in the most favor

civil suits make opponents look like

Seh-Reliance

Self-Relilnce is digging your own
well and then drawing up the water
yourself. It's taking the Tool Chest
that God Almighty has willed to you
and using each one of its Tools for
the building OF a Character. Also,
it's driving your own Cows to pas
ture as well as milking them each
day yourself.
Self-Reliance is believing that you
have-and proving il.
But Self-Reliance is not patting
yourself on the back. 1t is not over
confidence, nor is it conceit 1t is get
ting a square view upon some
definite Task and then giving YOUR
self a vigorous shove toward its ac-
complishment. For Self-Reliance is
nothing if il isn't action, action.
action-worthwhile action.
Just the moment YOU adopt Self
Reliance, you start to become Self
hiasteTfui
The Self-Reliant man asks no man
10 tune his whistle-asks no man to
tie his shoe-strinss. For in Self
Reliance there is a Erandness OF feel
ing bordering unon Kingliness. Anil
out from its atmosphere comes the
achievements Of all time So, YOU
better run your own shop. No one
knows how quite 50 well as yourself.

Of culture; at any rate II indicates a
fortunate tendency in that direction
Filth is uncomfortable in the eyes OF
those civilized peoples alone who prize
in the case of their bodies the same
degree OF purity which they impart TO
their enterprises and hteir personal
environment. The care OF the skin
through the installation Of public
baths is by no means a modern pro-
cedure. Ancient Rome abounded in
them. and their maintenance became
an important problem OF the state The
baths OF Diocletian accommodated
hundreds. Wherever Roman civiliza-
tion proceeded Il was attended by
respect for personal cleanliness. To
day the home of the ordinary citizen
affords abundant opportunity to en-
Joy the advantages of the bath not
only as a means of cleansing the body
but also as tonic and the promoter
of a healthy skin-"the best under
garment ever invented" For the less
opulent among our people the institu-
tion OF public baths is coming to be
looked on almost as necessity rather
than a luxury Indeed, with many the

health and vigor. namely. an abun-
dance Of food, fresh air, and muscular
work or bodily exercise.

Typhoid fever and diarrheal condi-
