On The ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be No Compromise
If You Would Lead
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE
Copyright 1919. by The Associated

when ! give the word"
IL is the same in business as in military
campaigning. A self-confident leader can
get results when one lacking in self-confi-
dence will soon make il evident-painfully
evident-that leadership should never be
intrusted to him.
And, If only because of the reflex action
on others, a man who aspires 10 leadership
should be an enthusiast in whatever he
undertakes.
Two young men are engaged, at the
same time, TO do similar work for similar
pay. They start in, but with different atti-
tudes
The first is not at all interested in the
work he has contracted to do. All he has
wanted is a job. His interest is in the
money he will get out of it. He comes TO
work as late as he dares and he quits work
at the earliest possible moment.
The other young man is also interested in
the salary he gets. OF course he is. But
also he is interested more interested, in
doing his job as well as he can.
He comes 10 work early and he quits late.
He does not grumble at overtime. He
keeps his eyes not on the clock but on fel.
low workers of more experience than he.
And especially he studies those who are
above him.
Doing always little more than he is
expected to do, planning how to do every
thing better, he is certain to rise Some
body formerly his superior must move on
or out. Leadership is assured TO him.
Self-respect, self -confidence, enthusiasm,
do not to be sure. comprise all the essentials
of leadership. But they are prime essen
tials. in the absence of which man must
always be follower, not a leader.

To become n leader of men in any calling
whatever. certain qualities are indispensable.
Among these none is of more importance
than self-respect
Men cannot be successfully handled by
one whom they do not respect. And no
one need hope to be respected who does not
respect himself.
A man who by his words and deeds shows
that he values himself lightly is bound TO
be held in light esteem by others. AS re-
marked by close student of the psychology
of leadership:
"Subordinates respect for their chief is at
the bottom but sympathetic reflection of
his own sef-respect. He passes current
with them at the value he has set upon him.
self"
And the man who would lead must not
only have self-respect. He must in high
degree have self-confidence.
Suppose. on the eve of an important mill
tary movement. captain called his men
together and said to them:
Men, we have been ordered TO drive the
enemy out of his advanced positions tomor-
row. 1t is big job and we can carry it
thru only by pulling together. am sure
you will all do your best and not get dis
couraged If things seems to go badly"
Would not this leaders evident lack of
self-confidence be instantly sensed by his
men? Might II not so lessen their conf
dence in themselves. so disorganize them. as
TO render the issue of the morrow more than
doubtful
Contrast the effect If he said TO them:
Boys. we're going to start the enemy
on the run tomorrow. And we're going to
make him run as he never ran before.
There's nothing TO it. Everybody ready

win You Get on the List?

The Register expects to be more
readable and interesting the coming
year than ever before, because of GER
tain improvements and changes which
we expect to inaugurate at the begin
ming Of the year. For seventy years
now il has been going into the homes Of
the people of this section and those
who are interested in Shepherdstown
and Jefferson county, except for the
period during the Civil War when it
was forced TO suspend publication, and
for more than thirty-seven years 1t has
been under the management OF the
present editor. We have no cause TO
complain as to the place il occupies in
the estimation of its patrons, for the
people have been kinder than it de-
serves in many respects, but we should
like to have still wider circulation.
We wish il we're in every home in the
county, and we promise those who
subscribe for il that it will make
special efforts to carry cheerful mes
sage and bring the news written in
wholesome style into their homes each
week. The larger its circulation the
better the paper will be, naturally, so
if the people want really good coun-
try paper they will help boost its sub
scription list.
You who read this, if not now sub
scriber-why not add your name to our
list? The Register will be sent to any
address one year for $50, and this
is very modest price for these times.
Send or bring US a dollar and a-haH
and we will do the rest.
