One OF the finest things in the world
is an energetic, broad minded man
with vision. Such men are making
this country whether for good or bad,
and while many will say 1t is better
to have no vision than to have 1t all
wrong, believe vision OF any sort IS
better than following a beaten path.
One never gets anywhere along the
old path--except back and forth from
the starting point to the journeys end
back and forth endlessly. The man
with vision of some sort gets some
where new and another man with
more accurate vision gets to a better
location until after awhile between
many men with vision, something
worth while is worked out.
You can hear 1t said that one man
always sees wrongs and is a failure in
life. His vision is defective and he
needs new glasses. Not everyone can
blaze trails but what a wonderful
