They Fought Their
Way

: Parents are forever impress
ing on boys the advantages of
making influential friendships.
While such connections certain
ly are valuable, they are more
likely to serve as a ball-and-
chain restricting progress, for
the young man is tempted to re-
ly less on his own efforts.
At a banquet in Boston, a
young man in dinner clothes
walks up to the POSTMASTER and
says; Don't you remember
me2 The last time | saw you,
was shining your shoes. was
your boothlack.
Then the ex-bootblack intro
duces himself as p. Nicholas Pc
trocelli, assistant corporation
counsel of the City of Boston,
officially representing the big
city in the absence of Mayor
Curley.
A pretty good old United
States, isn't it, with bootblacks
becoming prominent public Off
cials, bicycle repairman evolv-
ing into Ford the auto maker,
and poorly paid office clerk
in Cleveland winding up as the
richest man in the wprld---John
D.
The more you study the ca
reers of the most outstanding Of
the big successes, the more you
ponder that they rarely had
powerful friends to assist them.
They fought their way---cre-
ated their opportunities instead
of finding them.
We cannot all become big
successes, and there's no use
pretending otherwise. Not all
have the necessary natural abil-
ity, education or environment.
But there is little reason for any
man winding up as an absolute
failure. In this golden land of
opportunity, there is room for
ALL and always room for a
newcomer to the ranks of sue
cess, for any man who can do
any job better than it has been
done before.
We like to read about these
fascinating cases. such as the
bootblack studying law at night
and becoming a powerful Off
cial of a big city. These cases
stir us on to renewed efforts.
They refresh, remove fatigue,
restore and increase ambition.
Our political freedom 80 the
right to select the men who gov
ern us-is invaluable. But the
Real Freedom in modern Amer
lea is freedom to win if you can
deliver the goods, regardless of
birth, race or creed. Anything
that destroys this opportunity
for-all destroys Real Freedom.
It's little Massachusetts law
yer and Vermont school teach
err who today preside over the
destinies Of the White House.
They took advantage of their
opportunities---or luck as you
will.
