Bible Thought For Today

~ THE POWER OF THOUGHT: As he thinketh in his heart,
SO is he.-Proverbs 23:7.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-12-15
"YES-MEN"

One Of { best slang phrases ever invented is "yes-men."
A "yes-man" is a fellow who always agrees with whatever is
proposed, particularly when the proposal is made by his boss
or any one else with whom he seeks to win favor
Around newspaper offices, an editor picks up the latest
edition and comments, "Well, that's as good q paper as we've
had for some time, don't you think sof'
The 'yes-men'' instantly nod and chirp their agreement.
Their idea, of course, is to flatter the editors vanity.
man. is relieved Of what he breads most Of all-the agony of
doing his own thinking, particularly reaching a personal de
cision along an original line of thought.
There's a ''yesman'' in every office, every factory, every
social gathering, every home.
You find them in politics-the voter who votes a straight
ticket even though Satan happens to be one of the candidates,
and the legislator who can always be counted on for an
"Aye!' when one of his political leaders tells him how to-
make up his mind.
The 'syes-man" follows the line of least resistance. He is
a mental loafer. So he rarely rises to the top.
The man with more chance Of getting to the top is the
mot by-a n-sight-man." This type is aggressive, has ideas Of
his own, personal convictions and is willing to work for them.
Mentally lazy ''yes-men' follow him gladly, like sheep follow
a leader.
Carried to extremes, the "not-b by a-darn-s ight-man' is a
bullhead. On general principles, he's opposed to everything
suggested, often before he knows what is proposed. Like the
shipwrecked sailor who, crawling out on the shore of a strange
land, was told "theres a government here" Instantly he
said, "I,m acin it."
Much evil is merely good carried to extremes.
Which are you-a tyes-man" or a "not-by-adarned-
by nature, you are a tugboat doing the hauling or a barge be-
ing towed by the tug.
There's a third type that says. IT can't answer ofhand,
am not sure whether I like this thing or not. Let's 60 into
it very carefully, consider it from all sides, make up our mind
after due deliberation. Then, whatever we decide, we'll GO
after it hammer and tOngs." I
In the long run, this third type rules the world and its
people. For this third type represents conservative progress
iveness-which obeys a law of nature by striking "a happy
medium"

THE USE OF THE LIBRARY

We doubt if the public in general fully realized the extent to
which the public library is used until the facts were presented to
che Board of Aldermen Wednesday night by L. M. Rossi, president
of the library board. The library is, in reality, the only civic
ssnter the city has, if it may be said that there is any civic
senter In Perth Amboy. 1t is used as a meeting place for sixteen
different organizations; the auditorium is the only one Of medium
se n the city aside from the council chamber, which is not always
available.
All this is In addition to the real purpose of a library, which
h to supply books and general reading matter to the public. The
number of borrowers is constantly increasing, more and more peo-
pie taking advantage of the opportunity to secure the latest fiction
- well as books of history and travel, sociology and other volumes
treating on the problems of the day. In fact, the public library
has come to be the institution Of higher education for a great many
people.
ANY ambitious youth, so inclined, may continue his education
sven though compelled to work by making use of the opportunity
that the library offers. They, too, with a sufficient appropriation,
many technical books of great usefulness to the various industries
here can be made available. This service, considering the large
share of the taxes paid by these large concerns, is no more than
what they are entitled to.
But the public library is also a bureau of information. Mr..
Rossi gave a few samples of the questions asked at the library
and which any member of the staff is supposed to answer, or to be
able to find the answer in a very short time by referring to the
Vooks on the shelves. Yet we believe that the employees of the pub
Nc library are the poorest paid of any on the citys pay roll.
An apprentice has to work three months without any pay
whatever in order to get a start. The library is the only employer
Of help we know of that can get away with that sort of thing in
these days of high wages and shorter hours.
Naturally, as the city grows, the demands upon the public
library increase. With added expenses everywhere it stands to
reason that the problem of maintaining the institution becomes
greater. The library is something in which every resident Of the
city takes pride. It is deserving Of all the consideration that the
Aldexmaq ea gie Z.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Ia
The general public may not be aware
of it, but the great power project at
Muscle Shoals has not been aban-
doned while congress bickers and
dickers over the question of accept
ing Henry Ford's proposal to take
it over and complete 1t as. private
enterprise. Work Is going steadily
forward on the construction of the
big Wilson dam under the direction
OF government engineers and reports
received in Washington show that
rapid progress is being made.
Government funds are being ex-
pended at the rate of $500, 900 a
month and more than 1900 men are
now engaged in a race against time
and the Tennessee river. The race
is to complete a complicated job or
Golfer damming and foundation ex-
cavating and laying before the win
ter floods come that would seriously
interfere with the task, and pros
pects are said to be excellent that
the elements Will be circumvented
When this section is finished only
one foundation section will remain
to be dug and poured and the en-
gineers plan to put it in next sum-
mer and complete it before flood
time next December. Meanwhile
work is being pushed on the upper
portions of the dam and it is esti-
mated that the completed job will
be ready in a little over two years.
OF even greater Importance and
interest to the public is the assur-
ance that the work now being done
represents the cheapest and best
construction that has been accomp-
lished since the project was started.
Wages are far below those paid I'M
der wartime conditions and the
number of men employed is being
limited by the strictest consideration
Of economy and efficiency. Original
ly, it is said, there were so many
men on the Job that they got in
each others way and wage rates
we're little short Of scandalous. That
labor costs are now at a minimum
is indicated by the fact that COM
mon labor is being paid only $3.50
to $500 a day. Water boys receive
subsequently more than that when
the wal emergency was on.
Work stopped Two Years Ago
Work was stopped at Muscle
when congress refused to provide
any additional funds, but last spring
this decision was reversed and the
resumption of operations vas made
possibly by an appropriation of ST.
100000. To this sum an additional
half million was made available by a
presidential order transferring GER
tain u~nexpended appropriation ball
