Asleep at the Switch

The soul abhors Don't"
Show US what 10 Do,
And il is important, not only TO have an
other track ready upon which to go when
we leave the old one, but also to attend TO
the switch
That is TO say. in supplanting a bad habit
with good one the attention should be con-
centrated upon the act itself of changing.
For instance, in breaking yourself of fits
of ungovernabe temper or Of sulking, it is
not enough to use your Imagination to
depict TO yourself how much better you
would appear if you had poise and self
restraint. and if you remained calm, UNI
ruffed and cheerful under all provocations;
you must also used your imagination, and
your will and judgment as WELL to picture
for yourself your right course of action at
the very moment of temptation.
II is not only how to act year from
now or when you get old that you want
to know and to practice. but how to act at
the particular juncture Of time.
In other words, you must learn how to
throw the switch deftly, how to get sud-
denly from the old road and habit to the
new without running off the track.
II you want to change successfully, con-
centrate upon the act of changing, think of
that. study that, practice that, and do not
waste all your moral enthusiasm in thinking
how well you are going to get along after
the change has been made.

Reformation is a matter Of switching.
After running along one track. we switch
TO another
That is all there is TO any change in a
man or his institutions; it is the method in
political revolution. business readjustment
or religious conversion.
1t is the trick of changing over from one
habit 10 another.
We all run in ruts. We are like railroad
trains. not like automobiles. for we run on
tracks.
Our mental wheels are Hanged. and if we
get off the track. and don't get on another,
we usually are ditched
Tragedy means the victim has got one
track, but has not succeeded in getting on
another track.
Now. when We want to break bad habit.
say drinking. or idling, or gambling. or
profigacy, or ugly temper, or petulance, or
any such thing. one trouble is that, while
we see clearly the track we want 10 go
from, we do not form a definite enough idea
Of the track we want TO go TO.
II is not so much ceasing the use of alco-
holic stimuants we should keep in our
minds, not this negative idea. but the pleas

from consuming wholesome and rational

The wisdom of doing quickly thing that is inevitable

A Dangerous Precedent.

One and one-half million men, banded to-
gether under union leadership, nave undertaken
to dictate England's foreign policy, threaten
ing, it is said, to strike in the event their re-
quest is not Immediately complied with. In the
main their demands seem just and reasonable.
precedent
This one and one-half million represent at
the outside not more than one-ifth of the popu-
lation of the country They propose measures
affecting all the people. They would give the
remaining four-ffths voice in the matter.
The latter are exposed to the hardships that q
general strike is bound to cause if the measures
proposed are not adopted.
If national policies are to be determined in
this manner by a small minority threatening
industrial reprisals representative government
is in a bad way and bolshevism waits just
around the corner.
Fortunately the aims and objects of union
ism in this country are much broader than they
are in England. Here labor, through the mas
terful leadership of Samuel Gompers, has
ranged itself solidly back of the government in
every vital undertaking and has been bull
wark of strength in the recent national mill
tary effort. In the period Of reconstruction it
is devoting itself to intelligent cooperation to
establish on a firm basis our national institu-
tions and traditions which were disturbed by
the shock of war.

Work of the Musical Association.

The Tri-City Musical association which
brings CALI Curci here tomorrow evening, is
performing a real service for the community
Prices to hear this singeF~ordinarily run close
to So. Here seats are $1.50.
The Musical club is not money making
organization, and it aims to make only profit
enough under favorable circumstances to make
up for losses when things do not turn out so
well. A sinking fund will be maintained in
this connection and the intention is to come
out approximateIy-e at the end of the year
Under such circumstances it will be pos
sible to give the three cities more in a musical
way than they ever before have enjoyed and
to do so at prices which will not be beyond
the reach of people of moderate means The
club has in mind number of attractions of
the very highest class in addition to those it
already has presented and it asks cooperation
to make its efforts a success.
Elsewhere when such stars in the musical
world as CALI Curci appear and it is certain
that the house will be sold out there is much
trouble with ticket scalpers. Here every
means are being taken to reduce this form o:
extortion to a minimHu. The seats are ap-
portioned between the three cities and the
sale is conducted under the auspices of
committee which carefully scrutinizes distri-
button. Plans also have been made to improve
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-05-27

the method Of reservation so that purchasers
can secure only the number OF seats they buy
and that will assure everyone in line fair treat
ment.
Another thing the Musical association is do
ing is insisting upon only good programs. 1t
is one thing to get good artist and another
thing to secure high class music Artists are
only human and usually If it is left to them
or their managers they avoid the more difficult
compositions. The club has insisted upon SEE
ing all programs and making changes where
it was deemed advisable
With such an organization working har-
moniously and properly supported the three
cities always will be in position to get the best
that is going in the musical line, and the price
will not be high. ~
