The Nome daily nugget., 1917-06-11

once had a good Job that he fell into wrong ways because he couldn't bring himself to say no to his companions. You'll find a lot of these men on the park benches-and they'll tell you the same story. They have brain, for the most part, but they haven't the will powerl
 They know perfectly well every hour of every day what they ought to do. They knew, too, they hadn't done it.
 | Between doing the things you know you ought to do and having not done them stands will power. If you are successful. 1t Is your will that con- trols. If you are failure, it is your appetite and your passions that con- trols you. In all your life there is but one thing that counts for success Tn every meaning of the word.
 That is the power of the will.
 The man on the park bench let his appetite and his passions control He had the machine to do the work, but he failed to use the dynamo-and so he was a failure.
 There never was an animal that showed the slightest inclination to use the will power. Man from the begin ming is a creature an animal like the others, except that in his brain he has a will. The exericse of that will determines what kind of a man he shall be.
 This will shows in organization, preparation, in absolute, un question: Ing obedience to the things which make for success. The will from above becomes the will of those below and this will makes of scme men the leaders of the nation.
 Each of us possesses ac accursad animal inheritance of idleress, self indulenee vanity shifting interest. Left b ourselves, without yuiding will, v-o are worthless and despicahlc as an !; mless m 1nixey in a cage or |. creature of the lowest kius wandering about tie earth. We ar. back from where we started in this Darwinian progress.
 Life is a stream and we seem like drifting chips. We go with the cur rent and our journey ends in the ocean that we call death. Most of Us really do drift-and we drift with a rudder, too-a rudder we fail to use. Tha rudder is our will. We even have captain. That captain is the will.
 Take no stock in that old theory that man or woman falls because of impefect temperatment or character" Man and woman fail because they have not he strength of will to over come temperament-not because of temperament We all have tempera- ment, and the most of 1t is imperfect
 
 We all have character, too. and the most of it is imperfect.
 Napoleon said no man could change his temperament but Napoleon didn't know. Men and women do change their temperament-and they change it often. Napoleon died a 
 miserable, diseased prisoner on a lonely island because all his genius das devoted to self qualification and egotism, and none to strengthening the will which should have controlled him while he was devoting his time on the attempt to ontrol all others
 Napoleon had intelligence but intel 1 ligence the animals have. Reason, in ! the highest sense of seie. control or will power. they have not With a . son goes language. the tool oi thought. And in reason, in language in thinking. in comparing and decid- ing, with the help of will, man has a second life. That is the life wo -ta l living.
 Look into the glass while you, brain forms the thought, T will nu. i fail" and you will see yourself with a new face. The light of determina- tion is a beautiful thing to behold ! Knowledge of right and wrong is born in the front of the brain and it shows in the face. It is the inde, of the will. It is a part of the brair
