THE RIGHT TO OP-
POSITION

Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt told the United Nations
that Russia and the United
Safes have little hope of liv-
Ing together without fric-
s~tion in the same world UNI
less. both can concede the
right of opposition.
Mrs. Roosevelt challenged
the apparent definition. of
democracy by the Soviet
leaders as synonymous with
Soviet" and the use of the
Fascist label to apply to any,
one not confirming to the
Soviet idea.
Many Americans have ex-
pressed the same viewpoint
but apparently without much
impression upon the dele
gates from the Soviet Union.
In this connection, the repre-
sentatives of fifty nations
had an excellent opportunity
to observe our democratic
process by their presence in
this country on the day of
cur national elections.
Of course, the Russians do
not understand a fair and
free election, or the readiness
with which the American
people accept the verdict at
the polls. This is not inexpli-
cable in view of the history
of Russia, where most of the
people have grown up under
"a regime which outlaws all
opposition. Even the older
= Russians, who lived under
the rule of the Gar, have no
experience whatever in the
line of democratic self-gov-
eminent.
1t is probably too early to
predict that the Soviet die
tatorship. with it's insistence
upon democracy and its be-
lief that a small group of
rulers can legislate for the
good of the people, will de-
velop into a democratic
country. Certainly, if infor-
nation is permitted to perco-
late throughout Russia and if
education becomes more gen.
eral, there is a distinct hope
that, in the course of years,
the Russian people will in
Sist upon popular self-gov-
ernment as it is practical in
this country.

Pays To Be Clever

A minister and his wife were
discussing two men who were in
the news.
Yes" said the minister, Il
knew them both as boys. One was
a clever, handsome fellow; the
other a steady. hard worker. The
clever lad was left behind in the
race, but the hard worker-well,
he died and left 100000 to his
widow. It's a great moral"
Yes replied his wife, with a
smile, lit is. I heard this morn
ing that the clever one is going
to marry the widow"

SOMETHING ELSE AGAIN

Miss Zoe Mozart, who
looks over hundreds of fem
mime models every year in
order to secure figures for
a calendar manufacturer,
says that the perfect face
and the perfect figure have
yet to be combined in one
woman.
The lady probably knows
her business but, for all that,
she has not seen all the wo-
men.
Moreover, the idea OF
beauty, both as to face and
figure, changes with the
years. BY the time a woman
is found to combine what to
Miss Mozart is a perfect
face and perfect figure" the
chances are the popular
idea will emphasize some
thing else again.

CARRY ON

Walter Winchell wrote a
long article about Damon
Runyon's philosophy of life,
but Walter left out the main
ching that put Runyon where
he was when he died and
put Walter where he is to-
day.
Walter knows and Damon
knew how to carry on" re-
CARELESS of the obstacles that
confronted them. On the way
up to the top, they neither
squawked nor flunked but
kept on "pegging away.
They learned that over
coming difficulties contrib
utes more to individual pro-
gress than anything else. AS
Runyon had remarked to
Winchell, each was born
with a "five-and-ten" spoon
in his mouth, and each had
to buck the line early in life.
The. going was hard, but
they carried on and the long,
er they carried on the easier
the going became.
Carrying on is the true
philosophy of life. The
thousands who lack the spir-
it to carry on drop by the
wayside; the few who refuse
TO stop or turn back when
they encounter difficulties
meet with success.
What applies to success
generally also applies to the
accumulation of wealth.
No man, who is born with
a "five-and ten" spoon in
his mouth can ever become
rich unless he consistently
saves a part of what he
earns. The trouble with most
of us, in acquiring a compe-
tency. is that we live on what
we earn, regardless of how
much the earnings may in
crease.
Any man, mentally and
physically normal, can begin
from scratch and succeed in
life, assuming and succeed in
in mental and physical fit
ness. That truth applies to
any calling, from digging a
ditch to writing a novel.
Every successful writer to-
day received rejection slip
after rejection slip before he
had anything published.
Fanny Hurst sent "a stories
to The Saturday Evening
Post over a period of several
years, and every one of them
was returned to her. She
had to have. bulldog de-
termination to carry on in
the face of that condition.
She had the required determ-
nation, and the Post bought
her eighty-fifth story.
History is full of the
names of men who, in early
life, seemingly were fail
ures. But they carried on,
and succeeded.
