If We Could See Ourselves

Our vision is impaired by getting too close.
We do not get far enough away from ourselves and
our problems them in a true relation
II il like trying the lines on our palms by hold
1ne our hands an inch away from our eyes.
Supposng would go up in balloon or an aero
lnne and look from high at the city town where
" live.
We would see that the house where we dwell Is Just
- among many houseshat 1t is very small as compared
- III other houses as whole.
We would that the business concern where we are
naoyed or where employ others is small as compared
~ other business institutions. and particularly so as COM
porod to the entire community. ,
We would see that the streets. the trolley lines, the
railroads and the telegraph and the telephone lines are the
evces of transportation and communication by which the
ocmunity is brought into relation, not only with ITSELF
Int with other communities.
We would also see by this balloon and aeroplane view
oat other men and other like ourselves very
rna as related to all other individuals whole or TO
nv one of the many single institutions and particularly
~ community as whole; that man would have to
- a very large object-about miles high and be
e TO take steps about aed onehaf miles long before
society of ordinary sized would take notice of him
surely for his sake.
This comparison does not that we should depre
eae ourselves by feeling that OF us is too small
% be of consideration.
We are the whole consideration. This comparison does
should deprecate ourselves in relation to the
whole. #M
Happiness and prosperity is in relation to others
nature as expressed in human society
Our true happiness and stable prosperity is first in
seeing this relation to others and then the efficiency with
which them.

Editor The STAR Am Interested
in your editorials and the letters
in your paper In reference to the
Japanese question, but I believe
there are some things where these
people have gained foothold and
turned out the white man has been
overlooked.
Does the general public know that
the officials OF the Oriental Trading
Co. travel on the Great Northern
system on annual passes and that
all their section foremen, laborers,
engine wipers, are Japanese? Our
section foremen used 90 be mostly
Irlsh.Amerlcans and also the bulk
OF the laborers, but as more money
was demanded. the Hin interests
gradually weeded them out and to.
day the Jap section foreman (thru
government inereases) Is receiving
an average of $40. free house and
coal every month. Don't you think
many OF our returned men would
be glad OF a chance at this kind of
a job?
This Ia a pretty good argument
for government ownership by the
way, as we could then demand that
all employees be citizens.
The Oriental Trading Co. also fur.
nishes Jap help on many lines for
the Greet Northern and this helm
receive their checks from the ORR

Just Like Some Human Beings

H. T. Williamson of Williamson, w. Va. tells about
pigeon that Matched out hens and then began trying
to teach the chick how to fly Mamma Pigeon had taught
baby pigeons to fly and thought she could succeed well
with this kind of baby.
Naturally you will agree with that the mother
pigeon displayed little in wasting flying lessons
chick whose wings not built to do bird-ke stunts.
And you probably agree with that lot of human
fathers and mothers much like this mother pigeon,
Etenay they trying to make their and daughters
Be something other than that for which they best fitted
BY nature.
They take boy who might become second Edison
and make of him third-rae doctor preacher Or the
lad who has all the makngs of farmer they tie behind
the counter of store The daughter who would
fine housewife and mother is crammed full of college
degrees and embarked upon Career"
It's wise pigeon who recognizes the difference be-
tween bird and chicken
And it is wiser parent who realizes that his child
should be consulted in the mapping out of the atters
destiny.
