smoking cigarettes. What are they
putting into life? Just exactly moth
ing; and that is precisely what they
will take out of it. The man, young
or old, who thinks simply of passing
the time away with the least possible
discomfort and effort soon becomes
not only worthless and helpless, but
hopeless. Too often his desire for
selfish and sensuous pleasure carries
him to look upon the cup when it is
red, and to seek the glazing red
lights of wise that are the danger
signals upon the path that leads to
destruction. Such man is, per-
haps, a little better than the GRIM
inal, for while men may feel con-
tempt for him, they pity rather than
hate him.
Whining Investment.
A third class of life investments is
in whining. Whining is rather con-
temptible, but if clothed in poetry
and set to music, it possesses consid-
cradle attraction. The Greek drama
tist had as his theme that man was
but helpless victim, subject to the
caprice of fate; and struggle as he
might, his fate was in the hands of
the gods, and naught that he could
do would avert it. The great Per-
sian poet, Omar, in the familiar Ru-
baiyat, utters one long rhythmic
whine:
"Whether at Naisapur or Babylon,
Whether the cup with sweet or bit
ter run,
The wine of life keeps oozing, drop
by drop,
The leaves of life keep falling, one
by one"
Beautiful, but craven! Not the
least of the boons which the great
Teacher of Nazareth brought to the
human race is the teaching that a
man is the captain of his soul; that
he may rise superior to misfortune
or whatever disaster may temporarily
overtake him. Christ banished the
whine from among self-respecting
men. We know well that while a
man may suffer misfortune, may even
go down in disaster, yet there is al
ways a possibility that by effort ne
may rise again, retrieve his misfor-
tunes and snatch victory from the

SERVICE IN LIFE
BRINGS BEST RETURNS

foolish investment of money and
make one wiser; but the man who
makes a bad investment of his life
will never have another opportunity
to make a good one.
One great fundamental principle
underlies the investment of every life,
whatever be the station or circum
stances Of the investor-whether he
be pauper or millionaire that
is this: that no one can expect to get
out of life more than he puts into it.
Keeping in mind these general OBJ
servations, we may divide the invest
ments which men make of their lives
roughly into six great classes:
Too Much Crime.
First, incredible as it may seem to
us in this moment of high aspira-
tiOns, too many men invest their lives
in crime. These investors are found
not only among the foolish and I'M
fortunate persons who blow up safes.
burglarize houses and rob their fell
lows upon the highways-they are
simple criminals are not so
hard to deal with. The classes in
cludes many others who may live in
palaces, who may roll along the boule-
wards in sumptuous automobiles or
riding luxuriantly upon the waters
in graceful yachts. The malefactors
of great wealth who, by juggling the
stocks or other nefarious methods
that may be within the law, take
money which rightfully belongs to
other people, are not less criminal be-
cause of their splendor, but rather
more. They have invested their
lives in wrong doing, and as return
they receive, if not punishment at
the hands of the law, at least the hat
red and contempt of their fellows.
In Self Indulgence.
A second and less vicious class in
vest their lives in self indulgence
This class of life investment includes
many different forms. I wonder if
here in this happy little city you
have any boys that loaf around in the
barber shops or the pool rooms, or sit
about the front door Of the hotel idly

generate children to spend, has done
so by the exercise of low cunning
and ignoble trickery such as mark
him as taking the first step in the
path of degeneracy along which his
children descend so rapidly. Such;
man may have amassed million,
and yet get nothing out of life.
Think, if you please, of the men who
have been famous for their wealth.
How many Of them were happy in
their lives, or content with their
achievements? How many are hon
ored after death? I dare say that
onerwould have to seek far in order
to find a more unhappy and unfor
tunate man than that American who
| is reputed to be the wealthiest man
in the world. The man who gets as
his life reward, money and money
only, gets dust and ashes.
Intellectual Achievement. =,
Fifth. A higher order of invest
ment for a mans life is intellectual
achievement. This is by no means
an unworthy investment; indeed, it
is much to be commended. But it is
not the highest. Aristotle, Bacon,
Milton, Shakespeare, Huxley, Elmer
son-these and many others have
won honor by the brilliancy of their
intellectual achievements. Such an
investment of life is open to very
few, and it is not the highest or best.
The heart of the race does not go out
to the intellectuals.
Sixth BY a blessed provision OF
nature, that investment of life which
is richest in it's returns of real hap
piness, which is noblest and best in
every sense of the word is likewise
open to every man and woman on
earth. It may be expressed in the
simple word "service." The man OF
woman who serves as best he can
in the manner that is open to him
and with the powers that are given
to him, is the man who gets the best
ireturn that life affords Whether he
be president, called upon to serve
a nation in it's time of peril, or
whether he be a farmer whose duty
it is to make his farm as productive
as possible in the interest of human
kind, his greatest and truest happi-
ness will always lie in his sense OF
having served as best he might
That the world most values the lives
of those that serve, all history bears
eloquent testimony. Call the roll OF
those that the nation loves best
Washington, Lincoln, Nathan Hale
Horace Mann, Jane Adams. You dc
not find in such a list the captains
of industry, the multimillionaires
or the great intellectuals. Rather we
find only those who have served we'll
their fellowmen Their lives were
full Of Iabors, but their memory is
bright with honor. Let me then ask
you to carry away this one great anc
fundamental thought, so beautifully
expressed by the Great Teacher of
Nazareth when he said, "Whosoever
will be chief among you, let him be
your servant"

pay $6,3OO,OO0 for plant it intends
to throw on the scrap heap.
Getting absolutely no benefit out
of the sale except that beggaTly
S5OO,OOO, the city has consented that
the plant be junked and that Bell
phone users may be taxed in phone
rates to pay $1,5OO,OOO of the price.
And patrons of the phone trust will
be taxed in one way or another to
pay S4,3O0,OOO of that price.
Under the franchise agreement
that Automatic plant really belonged
to the city of Chicago. For the COM
pany had agreed that if it didn't have
10000 bona-fide subscribers by a
certain date the plant would be for
feited to the city. Making that agree
ment the original company got a
subway franchise and then separated
the telephone system from the sub
way. Now it is to sell the phone sys-
TEN and keep the subway, and the
people have to foot the losses on the
phone system.
Yep, the loop is Chicago. And
most of the aldermen outside of
the loop deliberately misrepresented
their constituents in order to serve
their masters of the loop.
Walter Fisher has added another
scalp to his belt. He helped the trac-
ton bosses put over the UnifcatiOn
ordinances in 1907, and now he has
helped put one over for Ogden Ar
mOur and the phone trust.
Walter may now tighten up his
belt and get ready to put over a uni
fication deal for the elevated lines
and give municipal ownership anoth-
er swift kick in the Stats.
There are other big jobs ahead be-
sides that. One will be the move of
the public utility gang to make all
users of Illuminating gas quit that

The city was sold out for a measIy
half million dollars.
Citizens all over Chicago protested
vigorously against council cOnsentng
to this sale, and a brave fight was
made by minority of aldermen who
tried honestly to represent the inter
ests Of the people.
But the loop interests were too
strong for them. There is a cOnnec-
ton between the utilities, and natuT-
ally all of the influence of the street
railways, and the gas and electric
companies, the Marshall Field estate,
the big banks and Big Biz generally
was thrown on the side of Ogden Ar
mOUr and others.
The loop newspapers didn't even
let their readers know what it was
all about, during the two years fight
to make the Automatic gang line up
to their contract. The Herald was
the only one that gave its readers
any helpful information, and Oscar
Hewitt did that.
The other papers just shut their
eyes while the phone trust went
through the peoples pockets.
This policy of the press was help
full, of course. Most of the people of
Chicago, who depended upon the loop
press for information, were kept in
ignorance of all of the facts in the
fight. They didn't know what it was
all about. The one paper that did
the gall to play the game openly
for the phone trust was the Daily
News. It can't be accused of not
having the courage of it's convictions,
for, while it didn't give its readers
all the facts, it did advocate editori-
ally that council approve of the sale. |

Government Considers
Means to Meet Deficit
Threatened for 1918

Washington, Dec. 1S-President VIII
son and the cabinet already have be-
gun consideration of ways to raise
revenues to meet the threatened deficit
on June 80. 1918. The President let it
be known today that he had reached
no conclusion, but in general was op-
posed to bond issues except to meet
temporary expenditures. He probably
will address Congress on the subject
later. In this connection. the possibili-
ty Of continuance Of the patrol Of the
Mexican border into the next fiscal
year is being taken into consideration.
To keep the expenses Of the govern
ment as low as possible the President
will carefully scrutinize all the appro-
priation bills. In a conference today
with Chairman Sparkman Of the House
rivers and harbors committee he con-
sidered the rivers and harbors bill now
being drawn. 1t provides for only ur-
gent necessary expenditures.
