The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1916-07-27

Our greatest and wealthiest men
never came to their fame and for
tune through following in the
beaten paths of those who had
gone before, nor did they come to
their success in always obeylng the
orders given to them by someone
else. There would come a time
when they either disobeyed them
entirely or changed them to suit
plans they had already formed for
their own benefit. Then, after
disobeying their orders, they
would use their power of initiative
and introduce an entirely new plan
of action or thought, which usually
carried them on to success, finally.
Originality in thought and put
ting it into action at the right
moment, regardless of the orders
of others is the key to success,
generally, in this progressive age
in which we live. Because orders
are usually given by those who are
going a good deal on their past
experience; and what might have
been good for the conditions of
yesterday may not fit into the con-
ditions of today or tomorrow at all.

1t was then that M. got in his

and the order going over the wire
at the same time, and he calculated
that either No. % was at B. or had

OBEDIENCE VS.. INITIATIVE
In Which It Is Shown That
Obedience Is Not as Good
Road to Success as
Initiative
#B#

In last weeks issue of the Mir
ror there appeared an article en-
titled. "Obedience and Its Value"
by William H. Sexton, corporation
counsel of Chicago, in which he
states that one who always obeys
orders, no matter how wrong they
apparently are to the one who re-
ceives them, they will always be
conducive to his success in after
life. True, man should accustom
himself to the habit of obeying the
orders of those who are wiser than
he, but he must also remember the
one great quality that has caused
more success in this world than
obedience-and that is, the power
of initiative; and initiative means
nothing more than deviating in the
course of action from the orders
received.
You often hear. or read, of a
man who had orders to do GER
tain thing in a certain way, but
who, through introducing a meth
cd of his own into the orders as
laid down and thereby being par
TALLY guilty of disobedience,
brought both fame and fortune.
That was caused by the man using
his power of initiative; but of
course, he is also taking an equal
chance of utter failure.

trust yourself? If you cannot
trust yourself in keeping your own
little secrets. what reason have
you to think that anyone else will
keep them for you? Why trust
more to the discretion of strangers
than you do to your own?
Be friendly with all, but avoid
having any so-called intimate
friends. Be frank, but keep your
own counsel and your own secrets.
If you don't want to be talked
about, never talk about yourself
or the character of others; for
remember, we have many faults of
our own.
There are many people who
want to tell us the character of a
man simply by looking at him. If
any one conceives that be can tell
the character Of man just by
looking at him, he is either theo-
rizing or valnly conceited.
l remember once riding with a
friend on street car, when
across the aisle from us sat one of
the grandest looking men I had
ever seen. He had a magisteriaI
manner, a fine brow and certain
deliberateness of eye that indicated
that he was surely nothing less
than professor, a bishop or an
ambassador. / inquired as to who
he was; he turned out to be a poul-
try buyer for a packing house,
with a mind that never rose above
the price of chickens.
In a small town in Ohio / once
noticed a man who bore all the
indications of degenerate. His
head was bumpy and Informed.
his brow was low, his eyes were
small and his ears abnormally big
and outstanding. Upon asking
who he was, to satisfy my curiosi-
ty, for [ thought he could not be
other than gambler, or perhaps
the town dog catcher, [ was told
he was the president of the board
of education, a distinguished auth
or, a banker, and a model Chris
tian gentleman. And from that
day until this | have never judged
a mans character by his looks, and,
therefore, have come to the con-
clusion that by keeping our own
secrets we may learn more and
more the value of silence.

thoughts according to the orders
of others, will always live in de-
pendent state at the command of
someone else, and will never
develop a personality of his own
or acquire that power of initiative
so necessary if he wishes to rise
above his present position.
Perhaps no other class of men
receive as many orders as those in
the train service of a railroad. A
conductor and engineer of a train
are running under orders all the
time, but there arrive situations at
times when they cannot obey the
orders received, and then is the
occasion when they have to use
their own judgment and bring
their power of initiative into play
to eXtricate themselves from the
situation in which they have be-
come entangled. So also is this
true of station agents and tele-
graph operators, and in this
instance it might be we'll to give
an illustration of an actual hap
pening of this kind that took
place at the village of H., in this
state, not many years ago.
The night operator, NJ, sat at
his intruments awaiting orders for

two fast trains that were approach
ing each other. No. l., the fast
night limited, was rolling along
rapidly frcm it's eastern terminal
on time, and from the west the
fast through freight, No. %, was
racing like mad against time, one
hour late, trying to make up the
loss. M. had received notice ear
lier in the evening that No. %
would reach his station about As
minutes late-and that was all.
He received no further orders in
regard to the two trains.
No. %, being 45 minutes late,
would make the meeting point be-
tween it and No. 1 at his station,
and he was waiting anxiously for
orders from the dispatcher, but
none came. Apparently, and as it
was afterward proven, the dis
patcher had forgotten that No. %
was running fast to make up as
much as possible of the hour that
it was behind and so had sent Or
ders to the operator at B., eight
miles west of H., to hold p on a
siding and let No. 1 pass. But

arrive over the wire at B., No. %

OPPOR TU NIFTY
By Walter Malone

They do me wrong who say 1 come no
When knock and fail to find you in;
For every day stand outside your door,
And bid you wake and ride to fight and win
Vail not for precious chances passed away,
Weep not for golden ages the wane
Each night l burn the records of the day;
AT sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at splendors that have sped.
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with its Dead
But never bind moment yet to come.
Tho deep in mire, wiring not your hands and weep,
lend my arm to all who say L camp
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep
But yet might rise and be again a man!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribution's blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of the past
And find the futures pages white as snow.
Art thou mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell;
Art thou sinner? Sins may he forgiven,
Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell.
Each night star to guide thy feet to Heaven!

think / would hoist my
- red lantern in front OF
what | call my most de-
- lightful intimate friends.
About the most dangerous crea-
ture any of us ever encounters is
an intimate friend to whom we
tell everything we think, and ev-
erything we think we think, and
the things that make US wish we
had bitten out our tongues before
we ever told them. Perhaps all
men talk too much; ] know / do,
and especially young men. So l
would say, beware of that perilous
hour in which you and your init
mate friend put on your coats and
take down your hats and dip a ci-
gar into your mouth and take a
stroll out to some park, or under
the shade of giant elm near a
beautiful lake, and there, letting
down the confines of speech, give
yourselves free vent. Before you
know it you will be telling that
which two hours before, yoke of
oxen could not have dragged out
of you with log chain.
You will be opening the door of
the family skeleton closet that
strangers eyes may peep in. You
will be turning a searchlight back
upon every incident of your own
life. Worse still, you will be tell
ing other peoples secrets. We all
know that the temptation to con-
fide to our intimate friend, who is
always so sympathetic and so in
terested. 1t is just as hard to re-
sist as it is for the drunkard to
turn his back on the brimming
glass he has but to reach out his
hand for.
But l can say that it is a tempta-
tion that is surely worth fighting
against, for the things you don't
tell you never regret, but the
things you do tell you generally
repent in sack-cloth and ashes.
Did you ever stop to think of
the value of silence? Did you stop
to think that most of the scandal
about people are started by them
selves? If they'd only keep quiet
no one would ever know about
their little indiscretions, or the
folly they have committed. But
in some weak hour of confidence
they tell the story to some init
mate friend, and HE passes it
along to his most intimate friend,
and HE retails it to his, and that
is the way the thing gets blazoned
to the world. The trouble is, that
whatever the wrong was in the
first place it grows by every tell
ing; for each individual who re-
peats it adds few kind words to
it to make it interesting. Why, if
you should confde tonight to your
most intimate friend that you had
stolen a toy balloon from a circus
wagon, by the time the story got
back to you, six months later, you
would be charged with grand lar
ceny of an airship. This exagger-
alton Is what makes condolences so
peculiarly dangerous, because
nothing is ever told just as you
told it. You may tell your init
mate friend of something you have
done that was really innocent
just little silly mistake that you
have made-or a bit of imprudence
of which you have been guilty;
but by the time the incident has
been rolled under a hundred
tongues, and hundred malicious
interpretations put upon it, your
foolish act will take on a sinister
aspect, of which you never
dreamed it to be capable.
Of course, you will say that you
can trust your most intimate
friend. Why, when you cannot

| IL Is very SOOU RECORD.
| Saturday the boys got
| |Ml busy and won handily
| ~ from the 500 Line team
- of Minneapolis. The
visitors started in on an aggres-
sive fashion, but after the third
frame were unable to connect with
Lees delivery when hits meant
runs. The locals punched hits in
several innings, and in the sixth
forced johnson to retire in favor
of Kaufman. The game abounded
with errors of both kinds ommis-
sion and commision-and both
teams offended in this respect, but
those of the locals were not very
costly. Brad found the pitching
to his liking and led with the stick,
getting three safe drives including
a double. Wag aud Shields each
made two safe blows. There is
evidently a healthy rivalry be-
tween the boys to establish su-
premacy with the willow and this
is working to their advantage.
For the visitors Madden made the
best record at bat, and Trugg
caught very nice game indeed.
Mr.. Kolliner umpired and made
his usual good impression on the
audience. A good crowd of visit
Ors was on hand to view the game.
In the home half of the fourth,
with Shields and Fan occupying
second and third respectively, Lew
hit down the first base line and
then ran into the batted ball while
both runners moved up. Lew was
out and the base runners were sent
back. In the visitors half of the
eighth, Agge was hit by his own
batted ball and Madden advanced
from first to second on the play,
but it went unnoticed. The game
by innings:
FIRST: T:-Horan famed. Mad
den doubled to center. Agge out,
Lee to Viii. Zimmerman walked.
Madden stole third. Rieck popped
to Shields. No runs.
Brad singled to center and ad-
vanced to second as Bran went out.
johnson to Waltham. Wag struck
out. Brad stole third. Fan was
safe on Rieck's boot. Shields tap
ped to short and the Soos tried for
double at second and first but
failed to nip either runner. Brad
scored on the play. Fan stole third.
Lew walked. Della struck out.
One run.
SECoND:-Waltham singled to
left. Wild throws by Will and
Bran allowed him to score. Trugg
out, Lee to Viii. Koked famed.
johnson popped to Bran. One
run.
Will doubled to left. Lee hit a
grounder to Rieck and both run
ners were victims of a double play
pulled by Rieck and Waltham.
Brad grounded to Waltham. No
runs.
THIRD:-HOran reached second
on Fans muf of his fly. Mad
den famed. Horan stole third and
was safe at the plate on Agge's
grounder to short. Zimmerman
singled to left but was caught
stealing second. Rieck famed.
One run.
Bran struck out. Wag walked.
Fan famed. Shields hit by pitch
er. Lewis hot one caromed off
Johnson's shins and all hands were
