made up there must be no looking
hack-you must spare yourself no
labor nor shirk from danger.
An ambitious man will, if neces-
sary be good thinker. He will map
out bis course, make mind picture
of cause and effect-then ambition
will step in and make a solution OF
his views-then he gets something
worth while.
To what do generals and states
men owe their fame? They are cel"-
brated for their deeds and ambition
is behind it all, andsthe real cob
ouerors of the world @a1e4 not the
generals but the thinketsS the men
who .foresee and forestate events
that are likely TO occur, fop- TIE good
a. bad effect il may have on those
concerned. Ambition does all this
Th, thinking man is the fellow who
has it all worked out. whose ambl-
ton to do something worth while
has led him to meet conditions lace
to face, tear off the mask Of decep
ton and get on the job and stay
there to the end. This is ambition TO
succeed; and the lives OF such men
cannot be compressed into any blog-
raphy, but they live not only In
their own generation but Tor all
time Such men as these have made
our history and moulded our opin-
ions, and through life may have oc
cupied a comparatively insignificant
space in the eyes of their country
men, nevertheless they are an ire
sistible power and will be remem-
bered for what they have done. 1t
is curious thing but fact never
theless that if you take the pains TO
notice that the most gifted people
belong to the intelligent prOletarlat

the government as national ana III
teIlectual treasures, and above all
the law. should see to it that un-
scrupulous men and organizations
do not ueurp the products OF thelF
genius and reap the benefits from
them. These men may have amol'

You no doubt are aware that the
application of any remedy IS grea'
factor in its efficiency. We nave
just such men with us every day -
Lood. honest, well meaning people
but just a tr;fle too imaginary TO III
ID any place that needs drastic
measures for a proper adjustment
but we nee them. We gel lot O
pointers from themp-they make tn
mistakes, we look on and get tn'
benefit. Thus from this point o
view the possibilities of progress
seem 10 be alnost unlimited Ther'
are two lines if not more in whlcl
we may look forward to progress
These are education and knoWledg'
