How to Succeed.


Ebert H. Gary, steel corporation
chairman, advises group of New
York university youths on how to sue
coed. He says:
Keep appointments punctually; &C
cept the golden rule; remember that
every man in business may be little
smarter than yourself; and let the
other fellow talk at least half the
time"
Mr.. Gary's rules are good but not
complete The ultimate dicta on sue
cess was never better defined than
the late James J. Hill laid it down.
Mr.. Hill based financial success on
thrift. He put it first: "You may be
ever so brilliant, ever so industrious,
ever so honest but if you are not
thrifty the seed of success is not in
you. You are doomed to fall Bitter
1y put perhaps but necessary words.
The man who is wasteful and improv-
ident must know frankly and terse-
ly why he has fallen down when the
scroll is written and he blames things
outside of himself.
cit is not in the stars but in our
selves, Horatio that we are under
lings."

Flashes
"Life Is ShOrt-TelI the Truth"
Ford Sees
BETTER Times.

Ford Sees
Better Times.
In a recent talk Henry Ford fore
cast an era of prosperity. Others have
done so before and good times failed
to materialize. But when men like Mr..
Ford speak we must all listen.
''Times are good and they will be
better. We are III for a long era of
prosperity. We should all keep in
mind one thing-service. Service
brings prosperity. The individual
should give it in his work, and or
CARNATIONS should give it."
Mr.. Ford sees what many of us see
and that gives real weight to his
words. He bears out general con-
viction. Good crops and good prices
for farm products mean better times
in agricultural districts and good times
for the farmer becomes good times
for everybody.

Holding the Bridge;
At Five Thousand Per.

In his WATERFOWL speech Gov.
Blaine paints a vivid picture of re-
action assailing progress and being
crushed to earth. And of course the
governor and his young friend are on
the side of progress. They always are.
A noble sight this. Our governors
imaginary flights carry us far. We
see dauntless John and young Bob
holding the bridge even as the HOratii
did of old. That there is not a third
brother does not mar the picture.
This has been going on for 35 years
or so. 1t still goes on. 1t will go on.
Always will there be unself1sh men
like John and Bob ready to bear the
brunt of the battle for us.
And all the time while the preda-
tory interests John walls about, have
had us in their grip, the American
people have marched on to ever in
creasing prosperity In that time the
standard of living has advanced enor-
mously and average wealth and earn
ing power have trebled. Of course eco
nomic forces and sane business de-
velopment have had nothing to do with
this. We know that. 1t is men like
John and Bob who have done it for US
And while all the shouting, saving
and soap-box oratory has gone on the
Johns and Bobs and their retainers
have steadily held onto their lucrative
posts. We wonder if there is any con-
nection between being apostles OF I'M
rest and fat politics?

The Dark White Menace.

The Dark MnltG Menace
DR.. Charles Mayo in his London ad-
dress admits that America is suffer
ing from a crime wave but says 1t
does not emanate from the what he
terms as real Americans" DR.. Mayo
said: "The dark-skinned people are
killing each other-and the more the
better" He let it be understood clear
Nv that the "crime wave" was not
American but racial and trans-Atlan-
tic.
1t would seem so. The bootleggins
industry in large centers is strik-
ing proof. Police raids show dark
skinned Europeans, recent arrivals,
engaged in the traffic. Feuds break
out and they slaughter each other.
In any large city where crime
abounds the proportion of dark
skinned European types predominates
If this is a generality look at Chicago
or New York. If you want proof the
other way look at Milwaukee or Den
yer. The last two are more purely
Nordic and American towns.
An analysis shows the trouble to be
largely a matter of misunderstanding
citizenship, it's obligations and privil-
eyes. The man who has clear view
of both sides and is conscientious does
not participate in crime waves. The
only course in grave crisis is for
people who think right along Amerl-
can lines to stand shoulder to Shout
der for the right.
