Stands hY Russia.

No passage in President Wilson:
speech for the Red Cross in New York
Saturday was more notable than his dec
laration: "As far as | am concerned
intend to stand by Russia as well as
France" and it brought the house to its
feet cheering. He had immediate refer
ence to the insincere German peace pro-
posals aimed at peace in the west for
the sake of "a free hand, particularly in
the east, to carry out purposes of con-
quest and exploitation But his ringing
declaration should also have the effect of
heartening Russia, which has come to
put great trust in his sincerity and good
will
In their anger at the Bolsheyiki, a
good many people in entente countries
and also in America have found it diff
cult to keep in mind the necessity of
saving Russia that necessity the presi-
dent never forgets. The cause of free
Russia is the cause of freedom in Eu-
rope, and it must be upheld whether the
party in power in Russia fully engages
our sympathy or not Revolutions pass
through many phases, and in time the
Russian people will find such a govern
ment as they want Meanwhile, the al
lies must help to protect the future of
free Russia, with whatever cooperation
they can get from the government in
power. President Wilson has never
shown higher craftsmanship than in his
clear perception at the outset of this ne
,essity, and Russian freedom is cause
for which our republic can be proud to

begins TO rise at unprecedented speed
does so because he suddenly gets a vision,
develops desire, sees a goal. Having
done this, he begins to travel at pace
which he has never shown before.
Strange forces give men purpose and
jar them into action. Love, pride, sor-
row, fear-all sorts Of hidden feelings
are responsible for the shaking of men
out of ruts and into fields of undreamed
of achievement. More than one big sue
cess finds its real origin in the personal
disappointment of some man-perhaps
over a college education he couldn't get,
or toy he couldn't afford, or trip he
was not able to make. OF course some
men are 'downed' by such emotions, but
others are made by them.
"Most men have perfectly good boilers
in them, and fine equipment. But so
many never get up steam and go any
where! They don't want to go any
where. They just stand still-waiting
for call from within TO get move on
The call is likely TO come any time. If
your call is late in coming, why not ring
up your inner self and ask him II he
can't think of some place he would like
to go? It's shame to have all that ex-
pensive machinery and not use it."

Here Is the Reason Some Men Appear So
Marvelously Able.

Sid says in the May American Maya
zine:
Charles p. Steinmetz, the hundred
thousand dollar a-year consulting engi-
neer of the General Electric company,
tells us that men don't do big things
until they grow discontinued. He quotes
an old Turkish proverb-that the world
belongs to the dissatisfied. No truer
word was ever spoken.
"There is another fact that ought to
be brought out in this connection: The
big difference between human eeings does
not lie in ability and intelligence. Peo-
pie come nearer being equal in brains than
we imagine. The really big variations lie
in force and ambition. One man achieves
a thousand times as much as another not
because he Is a thousand times as smart,
but because be is thousand times more
determined.
NO other theory can explain the
sudden rise of the ordinary man. Yet
we see it all the time. Look around

plenty of cases. The ordinary man who
