THE MAN WHO TALKS

and who will not climb up the ladder by |
pulling somebody else down I am in |
olined to think they are not the exception |
even in a, world where there Is too much
selfishness. One of the most dramatic
Incidents in Europe at the close Of the !
18th century was in 1889 when Mira |
beau, with a hundred bayonets pointed at
him, deliberately rose in the French AZ
senbly and defended the Third Estate. |
For while France forgot his faults m
the triumph of his manhood. This was
like the rising Of Charles Sumner in the
senate eff the United States in 1850, in
the seat where four years previously he
had been stricken down by the hand of
violence. to pronounce again, in the face
Of vindicttve power, the doom Of
slavery" 1t was spectacle of moral
grandeur that made even South Caro-
lima, that attempted to assassinate hifn
applaud
1t is a fundamental fact that must
not be forgotten that when man does
his best to live society is morally bound
to give him at least living wage. If
society fails here it will make a fatal
mistake, and the Vesuvius of discomfort
will mutter until the wrong is righted.
But men must beware OF aVarice and not
put a ridiculous value upon the living
wage All men have d right to live we'll
but all cannot expect to live Ike princes.
The forcible demand for rights is justf-
| fed only as a last resort. There are
| times when the individual like the ma
| ton, must uphold his honor. We are
| not to go about with a Chip on our
shoulder" spelling for a fight. But we
| must stand up and defend our rights like
| good soldiers There are times when the
\ soldier ought to sing and pray but even
| God Himself is not pleased when the
| soldier sings and prays when the bugle
calls to arms But the greatest caution
must be taken in not making an ex-
brilliant demand for the price of labor.
| Are you now getting a reasonable living
| wage?
1 have often wondered why some pro-
| found, logical mind has not written on
the Psychology of Reversals. for the
subject offers food for clear thinking,
and covers territory that has not yet
been exploited, as far as I know. 1t
is subject that is often brought to our
notice in a great variety of ways If all
this data could be brought together. ana
lyzed and deductions made it would fur
uish profitable and interesting reading.

make SO great a difference. Again, why
is it that human possessions that have
been Slowly accommodating for years are
swept away in single night? Men WHO
have established a reputation for higf
moral living assassl nate their character
with the utmost delibegation. These illus
trations show reversaIs-what is thu
psychology?
