Now, undoubtedly, seif-conceit Is a
very necessary adjunct to success, but
1t must have strict limitations. We
cannot make other people have con-
fidence in us unless we believe in our
selves, but in the general showdown
We have got to give reason for the
faith that is in u.s. We have got to
deliver the goods, and prove to other
people that We have got the ability
We think we have.
Emerson said that we should aim
at the stars even If we only hit the
barn door, which is good advice as
far as 1t goes. But after having aimed
at the stars a reasonable length OF
time and only succeeded In hitting the
barn door, common sense would sug-
gest that we select a mark that was
within reach OF our aim, and where
We could hit the bulls eye every time.
There is more honor, as well as
more profit, in doing a humble thing
we'll and successfully, than there is in
making an utter failure in attempting
to do something high -faluting and ro-
mantle that we can't do. It is better

Railroad managers continue to in
.sist that they cannot reduce rates I'M
tn there has been a reduction In oper-
ating expenses. They appear to lose
sight of the fact that there is a big
overhead which must be maintained
whether or not they do any business
and that it weuld be better therefore
To keep rolling stock employed at ca
pacity A lowering of rates doubtless
would increase not only the business
df the roads but of the whole coun-
try. The managers probably have
taken their stand on this matter for
abe purpose of bringing about a re-
ductfoh in wages. But couldn't this
have been done without bringing par
tlaI paralysis on the business of the
ehtire country? Everybody knows
that wages of railroad. employees
should come down. The managers
pre under no necessity to prove it.
Railroad workers, owing to the gen
erosity of the government. are paid
plIt OF proportion to what persons en-
hioycd in other industries are getting
hhd out of proportion TO the present
ppst OF living.

| task of working with other people in
cheerfulness. helpfulness and good
will is
Everybody's Masterpiece.
| To work well with others requires
two convictions: first, a conviction of
/ ones own personality and duty; and.
isecond, an equal conviction of the per-
1sonality and rights of our fellow work
! ers.
The person who is his own best self
lis likeliest to have respect for the in
Edividuality of every other person with
work well who is not conscious of his
own dignity and worth and useful
ness. Worms of the dust were
never meant to be the associates of
God-endowed men and women
Neither can one be true workfellow
4who despises his associates, or denies
them their inherent rights as children
of a common Father.
The slave and the tyrant are both
economic failures.
Nobody, ever does a completed
work Each person but contributes
his part to a whole in which his fell
low workers-often those who have
gone before. and equipped him-are
llaborers with him. At the loom of
life each of us but weaves a section of
la pattern. the threads and the ma
lchinery and the skill having come
from other workers, and the whole
pattern having come from God Our
care it should be to make sure that
we do not mar the design and npllify
the work of these associates.
A privilege and pride it should be
Ito know ourselves workers together
with God and with our fellow labor
ers, having a share in the common
task of life. That is the real socialism
of cooperation and of fellowship, the
Bible program for the normal human
being.

ltGloomY pictures occasionally are
dtawn of present conditions. It has
been said that thousands are out of
work and that factories are shut
down. 1t is claimed that other fac
tories are running on part time. ami
that wages are being reduced. But
says The Iowa Homestead" the
farmer has not lost his courage. He
is out in the field early and late as of
yore. He may be holding crops that
he can't afford to sell at present
prices, but he Is not stopping his
work. Railroad directorates may talk
OF receiverships. merchants may be
afraid to buy or be unable to sell.
transportation companies may assert
that they will have to shut down en-
tirely unless the national treasury is
depleted in their favor; Uncle Sam
may. In short, be going thru hard
times, but while the farmer fully real
izes this. fact and Is making up his
mind feF future action. he is today
plowing along down the field in the
oId-time fashion, all the while think
ing and thinking. as the true Amsri-
can should, and he is going to make
things happen in the matter Of crop
production as we'll as in other matters.

EQUALITY. s

If he will live unto his spoken creed,

One may grow richer than his neighbeF

But If to gain, another stoop to shame,
