Unfinished Work

The stately cathedrals of the old world were
not erected in one year or in decade. A master
builder made the plans and started the work, and
when he died another master carried it on, until
after the lapse of decades and generations the
work stood complete. So also in life. We seldom
see the contamination of our plans. We do our
work, but others complete the job. Our forefa-
theirs laid the foundation of our Republic, but is
was not given to them, or to the next generation,
or to the men of Lincoln's time to see the work
finished. Each day prescribes our own task, and
it is for us to consecrate ourselves to doing it
with honesty and intelligence. John the Baptist
was not the Messiah, his was the work of prepar-
ing the way. We are builders and as we do our
work day by day, we are fulfilling our mission.

Your Earning Power

We frequently have heard say that no man can
earn one million dollars. We disagree with the
statement Lincoln earned ten million dollars.
He was never paid his salary. The Emancipation
was too busy working for others to think about
collecting it. Every great man who has contri-
buted to the welfare of the race has earned mil
lions of dollars. None of them could ever show
a receipt for the money. We believe this holds
true, that the men who really earn millions dol
lars too unselfish to collect their salary, while
those who collect millions in salary usually do not
earn it. &c. paradoxical as it seems, men earn
millions and get only part of it, and men collect
millions and do not earn all of it.

Free Publicity

The value of press agent is regulated by the
amount of free publicity he can wheedle or cajoe
out of newspapers. The duty Of press agent it
may be explained for the benefit of those who
are unacquainted with his work, is to write ar
ticles exploiting the merits of commodity, which
are offered to the newspaper for publication as
news matter. press agent must be shrewd to
succeed, because it is standing rule in newspa-
per office that the matter which a press agent
handles rightly should be paid for at advertising
rates. Hence, the press agent tries to cloak his
articles in such language and with such an appeal
that will pass the city editors desk and be print
ed as news.
The work of the press agent has become in
tensly more difficult since the price of print pa
per has increased to such an extent that publish
ers have been forced to curtail the number of
pages printed. This situation caused a closer
scrutiny Of the news articles and also of the
space devoted to them. AS consequence, COM
plimentary articles that formerly were used are
thrown into the waste basket.
Some of the publicity men have read the hand
writing on the wall. The representative of big
company recently sent out the following state
