HWVHE trouble with too people IN the world That

at the mercy of the wind
What keeps sail taut that it is fastened IN such way
az to resist the wind in measure
All advance depends ones power OF resistance
The only part of ship that is going opposite dlrec
tim s the screw That is what makes it forward NO
man GOES forward in life except he prepared to resist
things and he has power and will to do So
sail must be fastened the top and the bottom IN order
RI present the proper resistance to the wind
That is one must have the right ideals and must put
in the right of work If he loose in either dlrec
ton his sail will flap. .
Too many people have fine ideals but have no capacity
for endurance and perseverance
On the other hand great people good workers.
bu thew have no ideals stimulate Them enthusiasm to
make them keep going. ,
Of enthusiasm have great deal it is worth
nothing at ALL It said that little rain makes the windows

Where one has lofty ideals and also capacity for work.

Public opinion may be compared to the wind boWetn

canst not tell whence it cometh whittier it goeth.
Too many people go where public opinion drives them
The result is that they have goal and accomplish nothing
To use public opinion and to get somewhere with IT, 1t is
necessary at times resist it. Ones resistance power
that which urges one forward Public opinion is of adj
vantage to us only when and do occasionally defy It.
There must be shifting of the sail with view

Above all things must not let the sail hang IDLY from

bonus which the race overlooked

which cannot last a thousand. -
Professor N M. Fenneman to the
American Association for Advance
ment OF Science.
"HIS sounds pessimistic. Taken
in small and proper doses,
n however, pessimism is like
strychnine-it may act as a tonic,
instead OF as a deadly poison.
The bonus" that Professor
Fenneman speaks Of is the worlds
supply Of such things as coal and
metals. These are considered as
Limited accommodations, not re-
plenished by nature at an appre-
ciable rate" Consequently, when
gone they are gone forever.
Accepting his estimates of the
extent of the available supp v
now remaining of these bonus re-
sources, which nature gives to
man, but which are like bank &C
counts opened for a fixed sum,
subject to withdrawal by check,
but never added to, let US look
at two or three of Professor Fen
neman's predictions.
, Gas and Oil Near End.
Perhaps" says he, 'the most
spectacular bonus ever given to
the human race was natural gas
and liquid oil. The. equivalent in
labor would have been beyond
computation. The complete ex-
penditure Of Americas share of
this bonus is so close as to be
sensational. The rest will follow
in few years; then comes the
painful effort to get the same
value from oil shales, in which
the bonus element is smaller and
labor element is larger"
This shows without explana-
ton what is meant by the "lab5r
equivalent" of a natural bonus.
If nature doesn't support him as
his unfortunate ancestor Is said
to have been supported in The
Garden of Eden, then man must
follow Adams forced example
and maintain himself by his Ia
Dor. That story in Genesis, by
the way, is worth more than
thousands of volumes on eco
nomic theory.
Race Must Work.
Next Professor Fenneman re-
marks that half of natures
bonuses are very temporary, and
most of the rest are limited in
amount and constantly being di-
vided UP among more and more
people. "Aside from the depict
ing of some soils. the expanding
process scarcely began before the
middle of the nineteenth century.
Some of these bonuses are now
nearly spent, and the race is D:e-
pairing, as it were, to go back to
work. Others will be spent with
in this century. In most, If not
all cases, the necessary labor to
supplement natures gift and
make it available will be distinct
ly greater in 100 years from
now"
The meaning of the last SEN
tence is that to continue to get
coal, for instance, and iron and
copper, men will have to dig
deeper and deal with leaner and
poorer material than the ores.
