DARE THE
IMPOSSIBLE

It is a common practice to blame the world and
not ourselves for our failings. Look deep enough and
Won will usually find that it is not the world that
stands in your way, but you yourself.
If there is any evil in us, bad habits will develop
II. And there is evil in all Of us. Put your strength
to the test, but never your weakness. Dare to try the
apparently impossible tasks If they are tasks for good;
never fear failure-all the world loves a good loser
and when you fail in the right, your defeat is only the
beginning of final victory.
Day by day civilization is demanding more of each
one of us-more that is pure and strong. Twentieth
century society tolerates no weakness, no faint in in
dividual workers. Today every man must be above
suspicion. Each one of us must be proof against
calumny. Everybody is lied about-sometimes by
envy, sometimes by ignorance. Never resent a false
hood about yourself-after all it is a test of your
reputation. Let your life, not your words, be your
rebuke to SANDER. You defeat yourself when you
stoop to the slanderer's low level.
Noble living is all the armor you need to wear.
Silence is the most eloquent answer that can be made
TO the slanderer and it is the sure searchlight that
will reveal the slanderers shame and put him in
complete disrepute.
Be so true to yourself that you never need to fear
yourself and you will never need to fear the world.

TN one of Maeterlinck's wonderful stories he tells of
a powerful man of the Middle Ages who conceived
oreat plans and executed them, but always with diff
Guilty. Frequently he almost failed, and succeeded
only by superhuman effort. Finally he found that a
secret enemy was always working against his most
careful plans, neutralizing his most strenuous exer-
tions.
As the years passed he determined to find and de-
stroy this enemy. Life was not worth living with this
hidden foe forever encircling him with difficulties.
one evening he went out for a walk. He saw another
man approaching him. BY that strange instinct which
warns us of danger he knew that this man was his
lifelong enemy. He resolved to kill him.
As he approached. he observed that this man wore a
mask. But, conscious that this was the antagonist
Of his life. he said as they met you are the
man who from my youth till now has been pursuing

Draw and defend yourself"
The stranger said as be drew his sword, 81 am at
Your service, but first see who it is that you would
fight" He removed his mask and the man stood
before himself.
This fable is true of every one of us. Where you
think an enemy has injured you, look closely and nine
times out of ten you will find yourself in the form Of
YOUR habits.

Not Getting Worse

1t hardly helps pay the coal bills of 1923,
but at least it is somewhat of a comfort to
read that in 1905 residents of New York
were paying $21 cord for stove wood and
were kicking their heads off about it. 1t
is comfort, not because we ought to re-
joice at the misfortunes of some of our
ancestors, but because it provides the best
argument possible against that large and
pestiferous class of our fellow toilers in
the vineyard who think the world is 60
ing to the demnition bow-wows
There are still plenty of lusty kicks left
in the common folk who pay the bills, and
every once in a while somebody who holds
his head pretty high perceives that the
executioner is running his finger over the
edge of his axe, and before said somebody
can shut his mouth he finds he's been de-
|capitated.
Optimism is fine philosophy for bad
times. A long, wry face never yet has
sold bill of goods. But a nation that
can speak its piece when it's of mind to
gains respect, just as man does. And
such a nation is the United States right
now. A new cure comes out every day for
what ails the country. Thank goodness
few of them are tried. But many evils
have been corrected, and among them, to
a large extent, profteering The same ten
dency to boiler as was evidenced in 1905
still holds good today.

SNOWFALL Rules

Everything else in this world had been
legislated about, so it remained for the
Good Citizenship League of Battle Creek,
Mich, to draw up rules for the regulation
of snoWballs.
There is an intriguing something
about the softly falling flakes of snow
that touches nerve center in the small
boy and bids him shove up little mound
of snow with his foot, sweep it up with his
hand, press it into compactness, rest it
for minute between his knees while he
blows on his hands, and then, having
found proper target, let fly.
All this is very proper and right, and the
serious and solemn citizens of Battle Creek
do not protest it. They just want the kids
to have heart, and not think they have
to live up to the tradition of knocking an
adults hat eff everytime there is a snow
fall.
The rules are such to which the widest
little boy will gladly subscribe, but which,
alas, not even tame little boys will always
adhere to. Keep in an open space, where
windows won't be endangered, Battle
Creek ST., pleads with Battle Creek Jr.
Do not pack the balls hard. Do not throw
at dumb animals. Do not throw at older
people, Do not throw at little children.
Never throw at driver.
There are harps and halos awaiting such
small boys as rigidly adhere to those rules.
And candidates?

That Minister'S Boy

One old popular belief has been scotch
ed, and the more widely heralded the news
is, the better for humanity. Statisticians,
those patient fellows who know what to
do with figures, and who understand all
about ratio and the other seventh grade
subjects that the average adult is decided
ly hazy on, have come to the conclusion
that the minister's son, by and large, on
the average and all round, is not by any
means the scapegrace he often is held up
to be.
Five of the presidents Of the United
States were sons of preachers. One-fifth
of the men listed in the Hall of Fame were
similarly sired, and in list of notables in
England and the United States, one half
of the Britishers were minister's sons, and
One-tenth of the Americans.
That is a very large percentage. 1t
means this, that more preachers sons than
millionaires' sons make name for them
selves. We are mighty glad that some
body has lifted the libel, for as class we
never have found anything much to be
wrong with the sons of those pastors with
whom we have come in contact. We never
knew any millionaires sons intimately,
and so cannot speak for them,

Safety First

Safety First is never a cripple Safety
First never goes to the hospital on a
stretcher. Safety First never lies coldly
on slab in the morgue awaiting identii-
cation
Man is given only one life on earth.
When that is snuffed out he's through. He
gets one body and when he loses any part
of it, it is gone for good Life and limb
alike are recoverable. Mutilation is can
celled opportunity. If cripples are the best
arguments for Safety First the case is
tragically proved beyond all appeal. If on
the site of every tragedy due to needless
ness monument should spring up the
nation would be graveyard.
Safety First is something more than slo-
gans. 1t is prayer for protection from
folly and carelessness. 1t is an invocation
for men, women and children to preserve
what they possess and never can regain if
lost. It is petition to the needless to see
that their recklessness destroys no ones
life, no ones limbs no ones happiness. It
is the foundation of what some day must
become an instructive tradition for every
child, that LIES slender thread is Caution
Society multiplies its engines of living
and doing, and with swift progress come
perils. None of those inventions equals
the human body for perfection and frailty
Man commands both equally. But the one
he can build and the other he cannot.
Life goes fast. Hold on to it.

A Democratic View

President Calvin Coolidge delivered his
first message to Congress yesterday. 1t is
an able document, replete with sound
logic, highly constructive in character, but,
greater than all these, glowing with the
sympathy of kind heart and broad un-
Outstanding of the worlds ills. Politically
it will come under fire, but politically its
tenor does not matter The people do not
care whether Mr.. Coolidge is Republican
or Democrat so long as he understands
and sympathizes with them and has the
ability to work out their problems.
The message seems constantly to bear
in mind the good of the masses. 1t seems
to have been drawn with especial care as
a document that seeks to safeguard the
interests and the rights of the common
people, For that attribute it is deserving
of commentator from everyone, regard
less of political affiliation.
Just few lines selected from the con-
the heart of Mr.. Coolidge They are:
''The world has had enough of the curse
of hatred and selishness. 1t has had
enough of the wrongful use of material
power For the healing Of the nations
there must be good will and charity, con-
fidence and peace The time has come for
a more practical use of moral power and
more reliance upon the principle that
might makes its own right. Our authority
among the nations must be represented by
justice and mercy. 1t is necessary not only
to have faith but to make sacrifices for our
faith. The spiritual forces of the world
make all its final determinations. 1t is
with these voices that America should
speak Whenever they declare righteous
purpose there need be no doubt that they
will be heard"
Here speaks the man-an upright, un-
Outstanding, merciful, just, God-fearing
man. After all, his politics do not matter
Politics may be a curse-many declare it
to be so, but after all if it is an instrument
for inducing men into office who are not
afraid to rely upon the forces of right and
divine guidance, it becomes an instrument
Of good, and its Importance is only that of
a means to an end.
President Coolidges message will go a
great way toward satisfying the people of
his ability to carry their confidence. 1t
marks him as the true American-sucf1 an
American as this nation wants in it's ex-
ecutive chair. His message makes us all
proud of him, for his words have earned
him place in all our hearts May God
think as often of Calvin Coolidge as Calvin
Coolidge shows us in his message that he
thinks of God.-Elko Independent (Dem.) J.
