AT THE LADDERS TOP,
Rv II. Addington Bruce


tn ODAY 1 want to say something to the
man who has almost, if not quite, reach
IN ed the top of his particular ladder OF
business success.
Especially I want to remind him that if it
takes effort to get to the top it also takes
effort to stay there.
1t certainly will not do to doze at the top
in the somnolence of dissatisfaction. Ones
grasp of the ladder will then be loosed, and
painful fall will follow.
Which is something many successful men
do not seem to appTeciate-until the fall
comes.
They have toiled, sacrificed, struggled to
make the ascent. Having made it-haV1ng
established a reputation as successful men of
affairs, and having incidentally won goodly
share of the material rewards which business
success brings-they let themselves become
lethargic.
Their business hours are shortened their
hours of pleasure heightened. The lure OF
good living captivates them They exert
themselves les sand less-and steadily be-
come less and less capable Of efficient ex-
ertion.
Why should they exert themselves, they
argue Their reputation is made. They for
get that, as some one has wittily put it, rep
utations are like brass-they constantly need
to be shined if they are to remain bright"
Besides, people have short memories. They
soon forget what a man has done, and he
quickly passes QUIT of both remembrance and
esteem unless he continues to do things that
attract favorable attention. In this respect 1t
is much the same with men as with merchan-
disc.
To sell we'll, merchandise needs to be wide
ly and continually advertised. BY persistent
advertising any article Of merchandise, par
ticulary if it has real merit, may be made
familiar in peoples minds as a household
word.
But even then it is necessary to continue
advertising it. Experience has repeatedly
demonstrated that the cessation of advertis-
ing in the case of the best known of articles,
is costly economy. The principle, "Out of
sight, out of mind" operates infalibly to I'M
dermine it's popularity.
So with the men who have ARRIVED"
They have arrived through doing, and they
must keep on doing if they would stay at
the top. Let them lapse into SNUG inertia,
and they will wake up some Zine morning
to find themselves rated smong the has
beens'-and to know Tat the rating is not
undeserved.
"He who hath lost his reputation" runs
the Spanish proverb, sis dead man among
the living"
Say the Italians:
"Good repute is like the cypress; once cut
it never puts forth fruit again.
Another proverb has it:
''No ruins are so irreparabIe as those OF
reputation"
None needs to take these sayings more to
heart than the man at the ladders top.

BUSHISMS
.BV DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
Irving T. Bush is the man who found
wilderness in New York harbor and built
there the largest ship terminal in the world.
He is Americas greatest genius of dis
tribution. And It is as important to move
things as to make them.
He created the Bush Terminal, which COW
ers two hundred acres, and can accommo-
date twenty-seven steamship lines.
He did for live people in America what
the pyramid builders did for dead people IN
Egypt.
In a recent issue of the American Legion
Weekly he contributes an article which con-
tains good deal of sound sense. Here are
a few of his ideas, which, as you might sup
pose, are worth thinking on. l have taken
the liberty of condensing.
The way to get at the top, he writes, IS
to begin by being the best man at the bot
tom.
These are hard times, but young men now
beginning business are lucky, for career
founded in such times will probably have
firmer foundations than career begun in
times of extravaganza.
The success of America as a nation is not
an accident. 1t has come because our fore
fathers took off their coats and worked.
(From this we might coin an excellent
epigram: Accidents do not happen.O
Two things determine success, the right
policy. and hard work.
Tn ENGLAND the labor union leaders have
adopted the policy of limited production.
Often a workman is allowed to do only a
certain amount Of work each day. That IS
based on the theory that the less the work
ers do the more jobs there will be. This pol
icy will spell national disaster and low
level of wages.
No nation can regulate its own wages:
They will be brought down to the level OF
the wages of those nations with whom IL
competes,' unless it protects its own markets.
The buying power of the world can pc
increased in only two ways. One, by IN
f1ation of the currency, printing more money
which always brings on collapse. Inc otner
by increasing production.
If were a young man today would go
into the country and engage in farming, or
in some business closely related to agrlcui-
ture The attractions of the city are great
but on the whole those of the country are
greater, considering health, comfort and
freedom from social disaster.
Good times on the farm are as good as
anywhere else, and bad times are less bur-
densome.
Every once in while [ get all puHed up
with world ideals, but after mental spree
I come back to the realization that can
serve the world best by doing my own I'LL
tie job we'll. >

4 Notable Business Surrey

~ OBERLY conservative though it is, the
semi-annual report of the United
States Chamber of Commerce on the
country's business condition and prospect
contains much of the stuff of which well
reasoned confidence is made.
At the outset we are told (What GER
tain school of politics at Washington seems
to have overlooked) that returning pros
perity in this country depends upon the re-
covery of Europe since she is and will be
for long time the best market for our sur
plus-that ,urplus which we have accumu-
lated and still have on hand ip every phase
of industry" Tariff-makers who propose
import duties that will virtually bar Eu-
ropean goods from America and thereby
devitalize tie market for American goods
in Europe, will do well to ponder this
passage of the Chambers matter of fact
survey 1t is now generally recognized,
save by politicians stuJbornly blind, tat If
the United States Senate had cast it's in
fluence for constructive world peace in
stead of giving itself over to churlish par
tisanship and to hate oorn of wounded
ests of the nation would have Jared far bet
ter, in consequence of quickened economic
recovery abroad and at home.
None the less gratifying, however, is the
present assurance that conditions are i'm
proving, even though slowly, and that with
the fulfillmcnt of harvest time they are
likely to grow more rapidly in vigor and
richness. J. the South an "almost dIprec-
edented reduction of the cotton acreage"
together with a promise of abundant food
harvests, is particularly cheering omen.
The entire countrys resources are funda-
mentally sound Reimbursement goes stead
lily forward. Better times visibly on
the way.

Georo;a' $ Production Rank

First in peaches and in swine, second IN
sweet potatoes, sugar cane, corn, peanuts
and mules, third in cotton, fourth in wheat,
mich COWS, beef cattle and tobacco-so
stands Georgia among ten coastal plain Com
monwealths of the South. The value OF her
peach chop is twelve million one hundred
and fifty-six thousand dollars; the number
of her swine three million, one hundred
and two thousand head; of sweet potatoes
she produces thirteen million one hundred
and sixty-four thousand bushels; of cotton,
one million four hundred thousand bales:
Of corn, seventy-six million five hundred
thousand bushels; of wheat, two hundred
and eleven thousand
These and a wealth of other interesting
facts have been compiled by the Southern
Settlement and Development Organization of
Baltimore, from the crop reports of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Gratifying as the figures are in many
particulars, they should serve to stimulate
activity in those fields of production where,
despite her uncommonly rich natural re-
sources, the State now lags. Well does the
Moultrie Observer regret that Georgia comes
not only fourth in number Of mich COWS
but eighth as regards their average quality,
while in the average value of beef cattle she
comes seventh. "TeXas has one million one
hundred and eighty-four thousand mich
cows and they have an average value of
sixty-three dollars; Georgia has four hun
dred and seventy thousand, with an average
value of forty-f1ve dollars
Strange and altogether needless is such a
deficiency in State whose climate and pas
turage are so ex"ellently suited to dairying
and cattle industries. 1t should be said,
however, that in recent years there have been
marked, if not extensive, gains in the quail
ity of Georgia stock, and that the enterprise
and educational effort of leaders are GER
tain to have substantial and far-reaching in

of contraband liquor, provided by the host.
This picture of Washington life as it Is
not and never has been was laughed off the
screen here in short order. 1t is fully real
lied that there are specimens her and there
of dishonest congressman, just as there are
dishonest lawyers, brick-layers or doctors
LOW Modern Hobbies Work
But the lobby of today is not trying any
such antiqLated method as that depicted In
the movie. Thesc organizations, go openly
and frankly to the members OF cons So
whose interests should coincide with theirs
They endeavor and generally succeed in con-
vincing these men that the legislation their
constituents desire is the same program for
which this lobby is working They convince
members of congress that only by openly
combining with others whose minds run along
with theirs, and publishing the fact to the
world, can congressional leaders be brought
to serious consideration of the legislative pro
grams to which these blocs are committed
However, with the idea that there may be
some of the old-fashioned lobbying going on,
or that senators and representatives might
be exposed to corrupt influences, two meas
ures have already been introduced in the SEN
ate during the present session. One was
sponsored by Senator Overman, of North Car
DINA, and is intended to make it a crime for
any person, agent, counsel, firm, company
corporation or association to attempt directly
or otherwise to influence legislation "by any
corrupt or improper method" The bill pro-
vides also that all legislative agents, or lob
byists, shall be recorded by the proper off,
Gals of congress.
Seantor Kenyon, of Iowa, has introduced a
somewhat similar bill, the main requirement
being the listing of all lobbyists or legislative
agents. and would extend this to the execu.
tive departments as well. The Kenyon meas"
ure would make mandatory filing with con-
gress by these agents complete itemized list
of expenses paid or incurred in the course
of each session Any one formerly a member
of the senate or house would be debarreo
from making livelihood in this manner I'M
der the Kenyon measure.
Under the present system Of lobbying, II
is doubtful if congress will get itself. .uffi-

American youth corrted it glorious to die
for have been sneered at by politicians. The
declaration upon which we went to war has
been repudiated, in effect, by Senate reso-
luton, which the House had grace enough
to reject. The basic purpose for which we
went to war, namely to establish abiding
peace with freedom and justice, mas been

Of the Republican party have counted. If this
recent record were the couptry's real mimi

ica's outlook, for she would have lost the
things that make na'ionhood honorable ana
worth while.
The time has come for a return to the
ideals, the heart-lifting and altogether prac-
tical ideals for which the war was fought.
Commercial interests themselves require it,
for we cannot prosper in foreign trade or
home industry unless our Government rec
ognizes, as Mr.. Hughes phrases it, ''that We
cannot escape our relations to the economic
problems of the worll." National interests
of the highest, the most far-reaching nature
demand that America take her place as a
co-worker with the friends of peace and
righteous dealing. In sounding this note so
long neglected, Secretary Hughes has hon
ored himself and, we trust, brought needfu1
action nearer.

DOROTHY DIX TALkS-The Stoop-to Conquer Stuff


being away from the home where he hears
unpleasant things, and he basks in the So
ciety of women who do no. feel any obl1ga-
tions to remind him of his. shortcomings.
SO the wife sees her husband turning from
her to women who have not 1.-THE OF her
looks, or brilliancy. And in the end she is
going to lose out, because it avails you moth
ing to hold all the trump cards, unless you
know how to play the game
Of course, from highly ethical stand
point, the wife, in this case, is right not to
initiate her husbands ego by tanning 1t with
hot air, but she is dead wrong from prac~
teal point of view.
AS Mr.. Cleveland airily observed about
something else, in matrimony it is cond1-
ton, and a theory that confronts us,
and what either man or a woman most de-
sires, he or she is mighty apt to get, either
at home or elsewhere. Especially men,
woman is more or less dependent upon
her husband for her mental and spiritual
pabulum, but no 1han is dependent upon his
wife. If he d>sires to amuse himself and
his wife won't play with him, he has no diff
ficulty in finding plenty of sportively-in-
clned ladies who are willing to divert them
selves in his society. If he likes to be flat
tered and joIlied, ant his wife declines to be
salve spreader, there are legions of sirens
with honeyed tongues who are just waiting
for a chance to sing to him.
If he likes to talk about his business, and
his ambition, and his wife yawns in his 2dce
and tells him that she thinks he might leave
the hOrrid cid shop behind him when he
comes home, and not bore her to death with
it, there is sure to be some other woman
in his office or just around the corner, who
will understand and sympathize with him
and znake him think she is having the time
OF her life while he monolOgues along about
his plans and dreams.
Oh, no man has to be lonesome. No man
has to listen to curtain lectures. No 7 an
has to stand meekly around and let his wife
apply cold cloths until she takes the swell
ing out Of his head. And, more particular
ly, no man has to listen to disagreeable
home truths when he's got his pocket full
of money. There are too many women who
know the job, and are experts in working
men for that
Therefore, every woman who has hus-
band whom she wants to keep had better
face this fact that she's got to play her
husbands game. f he Graves amusement,
she must play with him, or some other wom-
an will If he is vain, she must jolly him
or some other woman will If he wants
understanding and companionship, she must
chum with him. some other woman will.
And she must always beat the other wom-
an to it,
The sooner women realize that no man
marries to get critic on the hearth, the
fewer hearthstones will be broken up.

Unless man has horse sense he is apt
to make donkey of himself.
Our idea of martyr is man who meekly

Many a mans popularity is due to the fact
that he isn't aware of it.
Experience begets wisdom-but usually
too late in the game to be of any value.
Insurance against the visitations of moth

Some peoples excuse for making bad
breaks is that it is never too late to mend.

1 know a woman, young, beautiful, and
charming, who is losing the husband she
adores, because she will not humor his lit
tie weaknesses. And she realizes the situa-
ton and is breaking her heart over it, but
she will not change her tactics.
There nothing fundamentally the mat
ter with the man, except that he is little
too human. He has made money little too
rapidly, perhaps, and perhaps he is little
pleasure-loving, but he is the kindest and
most genel,u. soul alive, and one of the
sort who wants everybody to like him, and
pat him on the back, and sha-e in his good
times.
That type of man can no more live with
out the accompaniment of the glad hand,
than flower can live without sunshine. He
is as naively vain as a child. He wants to
be told at every turG how good-looking, and
wonderful he is a.. d he turns as instructive:
ly towards those who feed him on sugar
plums as the needle turns to the north pole.
The wife understands the elementary
principle of masculine psychology that every
girl baby is ia ght in the cradle, and that
is that vinegar never catches the male fly.
Also she is perfectly well aware that if it
is true that every man has sweet tooth,
her husband was born with double row or
them, but in spite of her expert information
on the subject, she has clamped the lid down
nard and fast on the candy box, and re-
fuses to hand him out evea a single bon
bon.
"I will not minister 10 my husbands van
ity," she says with virtIous air. 81 will
not pander to his weaknesses. Nobody rea-
Lies more than I do what noble nature he
has, but he has faults that feel it my duty
to correct"
Which she does in season and out of sea-
son. She belittles her husbands achieEe-
ments. When he comes to her beaming with
joy over some big trade he has Just put
through, she drenches his enthusiasm with
ice water by telling hiR anybody else could
have done it, and that 1t only takes medic
ere intellect to make money, anyway. When
other people, praise him, she points out to
him that they are trying to work him, ana
that the mon and women he thinks are his
friends, have a motive in their protested
pleasure in his company.
In all the husbands little world there is
just one discordant voice. Everybody else he
knows tells him how clever and marvellous
he is, except his wife. The only criticisms he
has to listen to- come from his wife. Every
body, SO far as he knows, admires him, ex-
cept his wife. It's only when he goes home
that he finds what a poor, miserable worm
of the dust he is.
The result is exactly as one would expect
it to be. The easy-going, good-natured fell
low, who lii es to be jollied along, is follow
ing the line of least resistance and drifting
farther and farther away every day from his
stern mentor He finds business excuses for
