POISON OF SELF PITY
THE MAN WHO Is SORRY FOR
HIMSELF ALREADY Is
HALF BEATEN.

DIR. Frank Crane in Physical Gull
ture: Get angry with yourself, pat
yourself on the back, commend your
self, praise. blame. love or hate your
self-do anything to yourself. but
don't pity yourself.
Self pity has a certain septic sat
jsfaction, like picking at q sore, and
there In an undeniable luxury of
self d~ispraise," but it's as dangerous
as getting drunk. It's habit form
ing. II grows on one Quit II.
Pity is a glorious and creditable
sttribute-when IL flows out toward
another. Then 1t Is like the noun
tain brook. sparkling. chattering,
ieaping. the laughter of the woods.
The refreshment of birds and beast,
carrying health and JOY to all who
drink OF Its cool flood or even gaze
upon its happy play.
But pity, when 1t turns upon self.
IL like a stagnant pool, covered with
hateful scum. and ~conceaiing ugly.
Shiny things in its ooze.
One who is sorry for himself is al
ready half beaten.
The self plying are abused. No
body treats them right. People talk
about them. Others are promoted
over them. They get no proper
thanks. They are unappreciated.
Alas! Also alack and woe Is me!
Exeunt omnes into the garden and
cat worms
The self pitiers invite every varie-
ty Of spiritual microbes to come In
and breed.
They are the clouds. mud and
slush Of mankind.
They are rarely efficient. No man
that hasn't enough healthy egotism
to admire himself q bit ever amounts
to much.
Bad as egotism Is. Ii is infinitely
better than self contempt.
The self pitiers are hard to love,
trying to live with and impossible to
please.
They cannot enjoy riches nor APP
preciate poverty.
When they are well they think
they're sick. and when they're sick
they think they're worse.
They are gloom s%preaders and
heart ~depressants.
Self pity is the most exquisite
form OF selfishness, the camouflage
OF impotence. the acme Of disagree
sbleness.
Self pity requires no brains. nc
capacity, no worth. 1t Is sheer and
utter no accountness.
re you pity yourself you are hyp-
notised by yourself. Come out Of
II!
No self plying troops ever won a
battle: no self plying clerk ever rose
to b general manager; no self pity
ing nerchant ever made his business
thrive; NO self plying woman ever
retained her husbands love; and no
self pitying human being was eve a
help 10 another human being.
Self pity is the collapse of all the
faculties, It is cowardly surrender In
the faee of the enemy.

up! The courageous soul. In nj

Washington, April 19.-The United
States must discard its policy of len
iency toward espionage and check
treason with all iron hand. This was
the burden of testimony this after
noon before the Senate committee on
the Chamberlain bill declaring that
the United States must be part of

squads for spies and dis1oya1ists.
Norman White, of the military in
telligence department, declared that
there are twenty thousand alien enc
mics in New York city alone.

You are going to have tarring

into law. German spies are beginning
