Something to
Think Ab0uf
r., II 4 WATEER
RESPONSIBILITY
By r. II. WALKER

MOT until you have arrived at the
Is place Of life where you can show
willingness and ability to shoulder re-
sponsibility viii you be in Il position to
keep step with the noble men and
women who are moving steadily for
ward toward success.
You can never hope to get at the top
by remaining at the bottom Of the lad
der in sulks Nor can you rise from
the low level where the complaining
masses are without first making sacrl-
fees and fitting yourself for the ascent.
There must be within you superior
skill, which you know, as well as those
above and below you know, cannot be
acquired except by tireless diligence
and continuous effort In the right d.
reCtiOn.
10 dare responsibility without being
properly equipped, both mentally and
physically, is to make hazardous ven
ture with all the fates arrayed against
you.
TO lead others you must be qualified
to find your own way when the dark
comes and the storms rage.
You are not fit to assume resp0n-
sibllty Of any sort until you have mas
tered your own stubborn spirit learned
your lesson in patience, and practiced
the principles set forth in the Golden
Rule.
Your first test in leadership will
prove the truth Of these words, In
spite of m egotism you may have, or
of any fancled power OF excellence.
Those who cannot accept orders from
their superiors with becoming grace,
who at every turn in their pathway
pig-headedly dispute the right Of au-
thority who openly show disrespcct of
law and order, the things which gov
ern everything from atom to sphere,
can never hope successfully to assume
responsibility or rise from the common
level.
If you will look into the causes Of
failure and dlscouragement, you viii
find that ignorance, false pride, OBJ
stinacy and selfshness were the fatal
stumbling blocks.
These are the things which ambitious
men and women must do their utmost
to avoid, otherwise their progress will
be retarded and they will be forever
barred from seat among the worlds
leaders, who assume responsibilities
seriously, conscious of their own frail-
ties, but confident of their ability to
hold steadfastly to the true course in
all kinds of weather.

LATE HOURS

Two parents who recently visited
the universities where their boys
are studying, were comparing notes
the other day 1t appeared that
both these b, Us have acquired the
habit, both at college and while at
home on vacation, of staying up
very late at night They will sit
up and read until midnight or later,
and then lie ahed until nine or ten
in the morning.
If repyoached with this eccentric
habit, these boys claim that .he
majority Of the students in their
institutions are doing about the
same thing.
The old timers had a penetrating
philosophy, and they knew by in
stinct and experience that early
rising is a good thing. Early to

THE FUTURE OF JULY FOURTH

The carnival Of noise, destruction
and mischief that long held sway on
July Fourth in many places, is to a
extent being displaced by the com
mon sense of the country. But
there is still in many cities and
towns, It lack Of any good plan fer
making this holiday count as il
should in the life of the nation.
Tie national Memorial day is
somewhat different, because in that
case up to recent years the civil war
veterans have provided an orguni-
cation that would take the response
blity for having it suitably noticed
Now the American legion has be-
come an association Of World war
veterans that will see to it that thc
soldiers cf all wars are suitably
COMMUNICATED on May 80
There does not seem however, to
be any nation wide organization
that will similarly undertake
the responsibility OF having the
nations birthday suitably observed
In many cities such celebrations
depend upon transient impulse
Some years there will be II group
of people Who will put through a
good celebration, and at other times,
there is II lack Of interest and energy.
Yet there ought to be an inter
esting and digni(ed Observance Of
July Fourth each year If there
are good programs Of sports and
amusements, the temptation Tor the
kid crowd to get out and burn
fences and keep the old ladies awake
is not SO powerful.
The old fashioned Fourth Of July
address should be revived, People
should be gathered for sports, band
concerts, picnics, etc. When the
crowd is full Of good humor, they
should be gathered together, and
some able speaker should give them
good pithy address, telling them
what America means, what it cost
in labor and sacrifice to establish
this government, and what should
be done to keep it up. The city
government of every community,
in lack of movements from other
sources, should always see that
adequate steps are taken for such
observances

Some wild strain, lying dormant for
