BE A MAN.
Man is made of Dust,
Dust settles.
BE a man.

T7'- Man Is made of Dust,
Dust settles.
Be a man.
Settle! That is a good word with
which to conjure.
He who does not settle his accounts,
whether they are monetary or 9TH
erwise, is not manly and does not
stand well among men.
Everybody is under obligation to
somebody. He owes money or he
owes something beside money. He
canrot succeed, he cannot be true to
himself and to the world, unless he is
under obligations to somebody or to
something, and unless others are un-
der similar obligations to him.
Reciprocity is one Of the first laws
of business and of every other depart
ment of life.
Alone, we amount to nothing. With
others there is no limit to our attain
nent
Many man pays his bills promptly
and forgets to keep his engagements.
He is financially honest and socially
and otherwise dishonest.
An obligation is binding, no matter
how small it may be.
If you agree to meet man at
certain hour or upon a certain day. it
is just as important that you keep
this engagement as it is that you pay
your bills.
Nothing detracts more from ones
-
ing obligations, however small they
may be.
Men Of mark, men who rightly oc-
cupy high positions, never forget an
engagement, they are always on time,
and they consider themselves under
obligations to those with whom they
come in contact, in business and out
of it. Their word is as good as their
bond, and their bond is usually above
par.
do not find any excuse for profess
sional men who are forgetful and who
do not appear to realize the impor-
lance of meeting every obligation and
of keeping every engagement. Some
of them may excuse themselves by
claiming that their minds are preoc-
cupied with other things. Sheer non
sense! The mind that cannot grasp
and surround and meet an obligation,
whether it belongs to great scientist
or to a clerk behind the counter, is
not the kind of mind which is pre-
destined to succeed.
There is no excuse for failure to
meet an appointment or other obliga-
ton, or for delay in answering let
ter which requires an immediate re-
ply.
81 am too busy is not an excuse.
You can trust busy man, you can
depend upon him more than you can
upon man who has nothing to do.
If l desired help, l should go to the
busiest man I know, for he has time.
The loafer hasn't.
At times it may be impossible for
you to 90 the work of the day during
the day; but, in the majority of cases,
each days work can be performed
more easily today than it can be done
tomorrow.
Settle at the time of settlement
Today is yours; tomorrow may not
be.
You are dependent upon your fell
low men. Treat them as you would
have them treat you, and realize that
they have equal rights with you; that
when you promise to do thing, and
do not do it, you have stolen another
mans time and are just as much a !
thief as you would be if you robbed |
his money drawer.

ROOSEVELT APPLAUDS
HUGHES SPEECH

Carnegie hall when sIr. Hughes deliv-
cred his speech of acceptance and Wig
orously applauded every telling point.
The colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed in response to the cheers for
him and the shouts of Teddy Tied
"" "Hurrah for Teddyw and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
1T is an admirable speech, and |
wish to call attention to the following
points:
81 am particularly pleased with the
exposure of the folly, and worse than
folly, Of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and of the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover. l am very glad Of the
straightforward manner In which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this
nation by the manner in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the i'm
preston that, although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy, they
were not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count
"As Mr. Hughes said, it is not words,
but the strength and resolution be-
hind the words which count. AS Mr..
hughes pointed out, there Is no doubt
that If Mr.. Wilson's conduct and ac-
ton had been such as to make the for
eign nations believe that he meant pre-
cisely what he said in his strict ac-
countability' there would have been no
estruction of American lives by the
sinking of the Lusitania.
when MI. Hughes uses strong words
his record shows that they are always
backed by strong deeds, and therefore
in the enormous majority of cases the
use of strong words renders it unnec-
essary ever to have recourse to strong
deeds.
again, Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
acteristically straightforward fashion
of the outrages committed on NUM-
tons plants, and all men, whether citi-
Zens Of foreign nations or nominal citi-
zens Of our own land, who had in any
shape or way abetted or condoned
those actions can understand that Mr..
If president, will protect these
domestic American interests and pun
ish offenders against them with the
fearlessness and thoroughness that he
showed in dealing with the powers of
evil at Albany.
Brought Nation to Isnominy.
"Just before coming In to listen to
Mr.. Hughes just characterization Of
Mr.. Wilson's failure to protect the
lives and property Of Americans in
Mexico and on the high seas l hap
pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period of American History and was
struck by the following two sentences:
GA government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when it confesses
its inability to protect the lives and
the property Of its citizens. A gov
eminent which has come to this has
failed in discharging the primary func-
ton of government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
ing
"Mr. Hughes has pointed out In his
speech with self restraint, but with
emphasis, that it is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
administration has failed to discharge
and that it is precisely this point Of
ignominy to which he has reduced the
nation over which he is president"

Whence "Grinuo."

In Spanish "gringo," pronounced
greengo, means gibberish or unintelli-
gible chatter. American Spaniards ap-
piled it to Americans and Englishmen
in contempt because their language
sounded like gibberish to the Span
iards. Now the term is applied in con-
tempt to Americans in the same way
that Americans speak of Mexicans as
greasers.

FOR PROHIBITION NOW.


FOR PROHIBITION NOW.
Mr.. Alexander Nesbit has been sher.
iff of Denver for ~ years-and he
didn't vote for prohibition. Here are
some of the many things he said about
the good effects of the law in an in.
terview published in the Pueblo Chief.
tain:
"The habitual loafer has disap.
peared The crowds that used to hang
around the lower end of the city at
free lunch counters have gone. Where,
/ haven't the least idea Like last
summers flies, they just disappeared.
Again, the wine rooms are no more
and the after the theater' dinners are
over. There is no place to go except
to the picture shows, and then for a
light lunch and then home, unless
they go to the pool halls. You know
it doesn't take long to get lunch
after the theater now. Few people
say have another'"o on glass of water.
And the old slogan, Let's have an
other is a misnomer in Denver.
Neither do very many people say:
Let's have another lunch and they
get through and go home.
1--WE haven't had case Of murder
since the first of the year. Our sui
cides are falling off to a great extent;
the mileage Of the ambulance and pa
troll wagon is less than 60 per cent Of
what it formerly was; our officers on
the beats are treated more courteous
ly; there is better air morally
around the city; the places where
crime was formerly Matched are gone
and the city is better off in every way
so far as it's police department and
their work is concerned.
Let me tell you another thing, the
can-rusher, the old soak who came
home with a quarter in his pocket and
sent his eight-year-old, ragged, bare
footed girl to the saloon for can of
beer and then tossed her crust of
bread while he swigged the beer and
snarled at her through his drunken
ness, is no longer a resident of Den
yer. You can't get photograph Of
one of these fellows in the city"
DIVORCE LABOR FROM LIQUOR.
"The sooner the labor movement
and the labor press divorces itself
from the liquor business, the quicker
real organization will become posi-
ble," says the Galesburg Qll.) Labor
News. Our movement advocates the
the elevation of our mem
bership, the securing of better condi-
tons and wages for our membership.
We cannot, secure them by affiliating
with the greatest power against them"
Another labor paper expresses itself
in much the same strain. 1t says in
part:
MANY trade-union journals and
dozens of the best-known labor lead
ers in America have come out openly
for prohibition. According to the
Plumbers Journal, the liquor interests
are finding out that "a lot of men who
drink whisky won't vote for it. The
engineers, 10000 strong,
have gone on record for the abolition
of the liquor traffic"
Mr.. E. ]. keenan,, president of an or
ganization of dry labor union men in
Ohio, says that with the exception of
the brewery workers and bartenders
every labor union in Cincinnati is
lined up for prohibition. The follow
ing pledge is used by Mr.. keenan,:
I'VE believe the labor movement
will not develop and grow as it should
until the influence of the liquor traffic
Is removed"
