p..a the Light for the news
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-07-30
Of obscure antecedents will come out OF this
war one of the notable national figures OF his
times
ONE MAN POWER.

At the head of great enterprises and admin
istrations stands central figure. He is the
responsible head of the enterprise; he is held
responsible by popular thought; in discussion
of what is done, he is spoken of and thought
of as doing it, AS a matter of fact he does
personally very little of what is done, yet the
popular estimate is in a sense quite right For
his is the responsibility and this he can dele
gate but cannot share in the meaning of rid
ding himself of part Of it. Because he dele
gates responsibility, he still etains it. AS
long as the kaiser chooses his administrative
aids it is just to hold him responsible for
Germany's acts 1t matters little whether he
| is simply the nominal head of group of men
or an autocrat; he appoints the men who do
what is done. He may or may not represent
the popular attitude of Germany but he surely
is responsible for what she does.
President Wilson occupies an office of which
the powers set down in our constitution
Whether he has wholly remained within the
limits of the spirit Of that writing has been
questioned But he now by law is the head of
our war forces; he is the responsible executive
in this country's action greatly extended be-
cause of war. His one-man power, so far as 1T
rightly exists, is really that of delegating re-
sponsibiity for the actual doing Of many
things that must be done. This responsibility
he cannot share. Upon him it rests, whether
the work is done by himself or by Daniels,
Baker or Creel. The closest of friends and
best of biographers of Lincoln wrote that she
ALWAYS seemed to loaf little" But he had Sc
ward Stanton, Chase and Grant at work
President Wilson is responsible only by ad-
vice and influence for this country's policies
and plans in the war, but he is responsible for
carrying these into effect. If the kaiser
wanted ships to carry out determined national
plans, it seems certain that he could get them
built promptly. In this matter the one man
power of the president equals his. But we
waited long time, during the tendency of the
Denman-G oethals controversy, for the presi-
dent to exercise his power.

Advice to Boy of Today.
Mr.. LETTERS thinks there has never
been a time in the history of the
world when boys had such chances OF
success as they have now.
1.-The boy who thinks there are not
the chances today that there were
twenty years ago is all wrong" says
Mr.. Jeffers. ABILITY is recognised
today more than it ever was and
railroads, as we'll as other great COM
mercial organizations, are simply cry
ing for men who will work and can
be depended upon. Such conditions
will exist next year, and the follow
ing and every year as long as bust
ness is carried on. The boy Of to-
day, in fact, has two chances for
every one chance a boy Of ten years
ago possessed. And the present day
boy has ten chances to every one for
the boy of twenty-five years ago.
"My advice to boy today is: Fix
your mind and ambition upon goal
and go to work, always keeping be-
fore you the fact that you want to
advance and must deserve advance
ment first Stick to your work and
be loyal to the fellow above you.
"Stick to your work and be loyal
That, consider the underlying foun-
dalton of SUGGESTIVE formula which
will bring any boy to the front.
Get a college education If you can.
The average young fellow with a col
lege education don't realize the big
advantage he has over us fellows who
have not this education. l never went
to school after l was IL years old
and I have regretted that fact every
day of my life. My father worked
in the shops at North Platte and
made about $45 per month. When
was IL years old had to quit school
and 60 to work to help support the
family. I couldn't go to night school
because worked all day and studied
teIegraphy in the evening.
IT had an ambition to be train
dispatcher. That was because / was
a messenger in despatcher's office,
I suppose. So. after supper, always
went back to the station and fooled
with the telegraph instruments. No,
I didn't fool with them; worked
with them.

Mere sermons are nothing if the man who
breaches them doesn't care what happens

L. Nyburg.
AS TO EXEMPTIONS.

The understanding of persons informed upon
the subject is that it will not be easy for con-
scripted men to secure exemption from serv
ice on account of imagined Insignificant
ailments or defects Ideal, fawless, physical
perfection will not be looked for by examining
boards and trifling blenishes abnormalities
which do not actually impair the candidate s
efficiency will not be cause for his rejection
IF the first board eXempts him, he will go be-
fore another physician, possibly an army sur
geon, who will examine him with no knowledge
of what the former examiner found. There
after he may in proper cases appeal to or be
sent before an examining board which may
or NAV not reverse the other two and whose
action is final. The chances are, therefore,
that if he secures exemption he will be entitled
to it: and that his time and effort will be
wasted if he seeks to evade service he is
physically fit to perform.
Young men who know that they are fairly
fit and healthy had better accept the situation
cheerfullv Their life in training camp prob
ably will make them healthier and stronger
than they are today. If they are unequal to
the work they will be discharged and be able
to care for their health the better for knowl-
edge of any latent tendency disability they
NAV possess Drafted men should regard this
call to the colors as a call to duty and also
as an opportunity to win a distinction and
position in life they could not Otherwise hope

whose employees would delight to see
coming, as contrasted with one whose
employees fear and hate.

GOOD BUSINESS SENSE.
"Patron First, Merchant Afterward,"
is the Policy Of John Wana-

maker.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil John
Wanamaker is 70 years old. He is
one Of Americas most successful mer
chants. On the occasion of his birth
day recently he was asked to explain
the secret of his success. His answer
Is worthy of careful study by pros
pective buiness men everywhere He
said in part:
Know your business thoroughly;
l spent twenty-three years learn
ing how to be successful in the
next tifty-six
Give the people greater conven-
fences and actual satisfaction, has
been my business motto for half
"a century.
Patron first. merchant after
. ward, is another one.
Show the people who work for
you how to work, and teach them
to love 1t.
Principles of uprightness are es-
sential for safe foundations for
any business.
The significant phrase in this state
ment Is permanent success"
Wanamaker will in the nature oil
things be gathered with the fathers >
Then the money he accumulated will
be left behind. He will take mona OF
his gold with him. His success then
viii be measured by the influence he
has exercised on the lives of others
Patron first" means that Wana
maker had concern for his customers
And he took large view of this sub
'ect. His was the fundamental chris
