The only difference between success
and failure is in getting the spirit.
No man ever won who did not have
the spirit. Even down to the COM
monest and most mental task, you
have to have the spirit in order to
make IL work out to any purpose.
What is the spirit? 1t is to FEEL
your work. And then IT is to pass this
feeling on to those about you.
The business office in which this
spirit moves is a place OF happiness
and accomplishment And this spirit
is a ruling element in every fine and
dominating personality.
Get the spirit-and you will rise
from the deepest depth that despair
and discouragement could ever hope
to drop you.
Get the spirit-and what before

We have organizations OF capital
ana organizations OF labor. Isn't II
about time for an organization OF tax
payers? When capital demands in
creased fares and rates for service.
capital gets II. When labor demands
increased wages, labor gets it. The
demands are met on threats of strike.
For il labor can strike. so can capital.
But the poor taxpayer. to use a not
uncommon expression. gets it in the
neck.

President Wilson in his message last
week gently raped the labor leaders
on the wrist, when he expressed the
hope that they would be good Ameri-
can citizens. But it happens that the
strike Of shopmen was inaugurated in
defiance OF the orders OF the labor
leaders. The agitator is becoming
more powerful in the affairs Of organ
lied labor than are its officers.

The president told congress last
week that there is no shortage in food
OF any kind in this country. This fact
already was we'll known to the public.
A similar condition has existed all
along. For any apparent shortage, the
government Is chiefly responsible. It
is useless for the president to attempt
to place the blame on the small food
hoarders.

And how the country'd gone quite dry.
He rared about, he fumed and FUSED,
And as 1 said before he cussed!
A shocking thing for saints to do,
And when his temper'G quite cooled down.
When he had even ceased to frown
The lull was followed by remorse,
Which made him want to weep, OF course

And to the earth away below
Was where his tears all had to go.
From morn till night to earth they dropped
Till all below were in despair
And there WAS mourning everywhere.
The people skidded thru the town,
Their 'bumbershoots" were never down,
And all were blue as indigo,
Their spirits had been damPened so!
For forty days the tears fell thus,
For Smltherton was generous!I
