Second commandment-Don't
be a fool.
The just mar would not COM
nit murder or steal. Nobody
but fool would envy his
neighbor's wife or commit
crimes that would make him
suffer. The just man would
honor his father and mother,
remembering what he owes
them.
No man unless he were Q
fool would take the name OF
God in vain, for whatever his
own belief, he would not insuis
the belief of others.
Only fool would fail to
rest on the Sabbath Day. The
Episcopal authorities suggest
shortening the last Command
ment to: '"Thou shalt not
covet." In the space saved by
condensation they might add
few words on the difference be-
tween covetousness and ambi-
ton. Don't covet your neigh
boris OK, but have enough am
bition to 60 out and get an OK
of your own.
Mr. Hillquit, Socialist leader
of New York St&te, 9ue ~
the most able, q really cduGated i,
man, forgets history when he
advocates taking over the Gov
ernment and substituting work
ers for professional politicians"
Professional politicians are
bad enough, but workers"
would be worse. They know
It. Nobody knows better than
Mr.. Hillquit that every career
requires training, also that for
everything worth while you re-
auire trained minds back Of
you. Mr.. Hillquit Is q success
full lawyer, representing the
greatest coal-selling concern,
because his ancestors in Russia
and elsewhere have been
THINKING for two or three
thousand years.
You can't learn to think in
one generation or in three.
Many workers have great abil-
ity undeveloped. But generally
speaking, the man that is capa-
bic of running . nation soon
gets out of being a workman;
be moves up into the capital
istic class.
A big worldwide diamond
corner" is born. Ninety-five per
cent of all diamond production
united in one trust, to regulate
sales and stabilize prices"
which means holding back dia-i
monds to keep up the price.
In that diamond w6odpile
there is an American parsonage,
and his name is Thomas f. Ryan.
Years ago, when nobody else
thought Of it he bought from the
King of Belgium, in his African
territories, diamond hunting
rights to the tune of thousands
OF square miles. Thence he has
been shipping diamonds for
years--recently by flying ma
chine.
Tobacco men will tell you that
Mr.. Ryan probably "got his in
the diamond corner. They re-
member when he went into to-
bacco, modestly and diffidently,
with little trust of his own, and
came out we'll rewarded. William
C. Whitney used to say that
Ryan would be the richest man
IN the world. Later. Ryan said
that Dawson, of Morgan 4 Co.,
would be q very rich man. But
Dawson, for the moment, is out
of IL and Ryan is still forming
ssdiamond corners"
What Is In name? A new
church, generally known as "Mr.
Rocleefeller's church." is open on
Park avenue, New York city. II
Europeans read that the first
sermon was preached by a
man named Little WOLF" they
would say: "How interesting
that native Indian should
preach in the church of the
worlds richest man. He wasn't
a native Indian. The preachers
name was DR.. Woelfkin. That
means little wolf in German.
Mr.. Rockefeller, jr., talking TO
his Bible class in the new home,
told the young men his father
had succeeded because he had at
tended 10 zone thing at time"
That Is a good thing for young
PEOPLE 10 remember. One thing
at time means many 6ings in
due time
