Trouble With Young Men They Get In Rut

Make Yourself Invaluable to Employer

By ALFRED H. SMITH,

Central Railroad MY ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN, IF YOU THINK I AM COMPETENT TO GIVE ANY, IS THIS: MAKE YOURSELF INVALUABLE TO YOUR EMPLOYER; STUDY HIS INTERESTS IN EVERY PARTICULAR; APPLY YOURSELF TO YOUR TASK TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY AND YOUR MERIT IS BOUND TO BE RECOGNIZED. The great trouble with young men is that they get in a rut—get mechanical. A man to be valuable to his employer MUST HAVE IDEAS. lie must be able to think beyond the rules of the office of precedents and be able to show that he has taken into his heart the solving, successfully, of the business, problem with which he is associated. So many young men are content to draw a fairly good salary—they have so much for expenses, so much for pleasure—and they WORK DAY IN AND DAY OUT AS MACHINES. The work even is not congenial, and they work in the face of the positive knowledge that there is no advancement for them.

I SAY IF A YOUNG MAN SELECTS A LINE OF BUSINESS IN WHICH HIS HEART IS CENTERED, IF HE WISHES TO REACH THE TOP IN IT, HE MUST TRY IT FROM EVERY STANDPOINT. IF ONE PORTION OF IT IS DISAPPOINTING LET HIM TRY ANOTHER. IF HE STILL FAILS IT IS HIS FAULT, NOT HIS EMPLOYER’S. HE MAY THINK HIS SERVICES ARE VALUABLE, BUT HIS EMPLOYER MAY THINK DIFFERENTLY. WHEN THEY ARE VALUABLE TO THE EMPLOYER HE WILL MAKE IT MANIFEST.

There Can Be No Great Nation Without Cohesion and No Cohesion Without Law

By WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD,

THE people need to look upon the law as their law and to resent anv disobedience of its mandates as a defiance of their will. IDEAS HAVE RULED THE WORLD, AND MEN ARE ONLY PUPPETS IN, COMPARISON. Nothing could be belter for the people of this land today than to take possession of the idea that law, the expression of their own united personality, is a thing noble and ihviolable, worthv of .everv service and sacrifice, and that it must and shall be obeyed. THERE NEVER WAS A GREAT NATION THAT DID NOT REA ERENCI? THE LAW. There can be no great nation without cohesion, and no cohesion without law.

NO PROFESSION MORE THAN THE LAW NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY COMMON SENSE OF DAILY LIFE, FOR ITS VERY PROVINCE IS TO DEAL WITH THE AFFAIRS OF LIFE. LORD NOTTINGHAM, WHEN HE WAS OPPOSING AN OPINION OF THE LAW JUDGES WHICH APPEARED TO HIM TOO TECHNICAL, EXHORTED THE HOUSE OF LORDS TO RESOLVE QUESTIONS WHICH WOULD STAND WITH THE JUDGMENT OF MANKIND WHEN THEY WERE DEBATED ABROAD. I AM AFRAID SOME OF OUR AMERICAN JUDGES MIGHT LEARN A LESSON FROM THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Call Conference to Discuss Reduction In Cost of Army and Navy

By Secretary of the Navy JOSEPHUS DANIELS

I VENTURE to recommend that the war and navy officials and other representatives of all the nations be invited to hold a conference to discuss whether they cannot agree upon a plan for LESSENING THE COST OF PREPARATION FOR WAR. It is recognized that the desired end of competitive building, carried on under whip and spur, could not be effective, without AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT NATIONS. It ought net to,be difficult to secure an agreement by which navies will be adequate without being overgrown and without imposing overheavy taxation upbn the industry of a nation. 1 UM* I TRUST THE TENTATIVE SUGGESTION FOR A NAVAL HOLIDAY By THE STRONGEST of THE POWERS WILL BE DEBATED AND THE MATTER SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED BY AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, LOOKING TO REDUCTION OF THE AMBITIOUS AND COSTLY PLANS FOR NAVY INCREASE. I trust that this country will, take the initiative and that steps will be taken by a conference of all the powers to discuss REDUCTION OF THE HEAVY COST OF THE ARMY AND NAVY.

Big Armies For Burglary Insurance

By Dr. INGE,

MODERN Europeans are not a warlike people. The true fighting man trusts to his own right arm to defend himself when the time comes. It is the OLD, RICH AND TIMOROUS NATIONS which guard themselves laboriously against enemies, of which there is not a sign in Europe today. EUROPE IS LIKE A STREET OF TRADESMEN WHO PAY HALF THEIR INCOMES FOR BURGLARY INSURANCE AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS IS VERY ABSURD AND VERY BAD BUSINESS, BUT THERE IS NOTHING ESPECIALLY UNCHRISTIAN ABOUT IT. Nations get larger until they reach their final expansion and then disappear because neither the earth nor the air nor the water can support them any longer.

Newly Elected President New York

District of Columbia

Dean of St. Paul’s Church, London

Merit Is Bound io Attract Attention

Judge of Supreme Court,

The republican and progressives up in Lake county must regard township office as a private snap. The Lowell Tribune contains the announcement of six candidates for trustee of Cedar Creek township, three republicans and three progressives; also five candidates for trustee of West Creek township, two republicans and three unclassified. One republican wants to be assessor of Cedar Creek, arid there ere two unclassified for assessor of West Creek. There is also one candidate who announces his willingness to be justice of t'he peace, and one candidate for constable of West Creek.

The Republican Plan.

Whenever you read of a movement to combine the republican and progressive parties read the list of names of those behind the movement and you will find that they are all republicans. The progressives are not talking compromise. Of course, republicans are dead anxious and willing to form a combination, provided the progressives will “lay down” and surrender completely. But the- republicans are not willing to accept any plan of compromise that does not give them complete control of the reorganized party. It is not a very inviting prospect for the progressives.—-Michigan City Dispatch.

Vanderburgh County’s Candidate for Treasurer of State.

On another page of today’s Democrat will be found a halftone cut of Frederick W. Louenstein, owner and editor of the Evansville Daily Demokrat, the leading German newspaper of Indiana, which was established by his father, more than 40 years ago. Mr. Louenstein is a candidate for the democratic nomination for Treasurer of State, and is backed in his candidacy by the Hendricks Culb of Evansville, 2,000 strong, and the leading democrats of his city, county and district. The tenth district has a candidate of its own in the person of Thomas W. O’Connor of ' Monticello, and while Tom is a pretty good looker, it is about a, stand-off between him and Bro. Louenstein, so far as looks and general qualifications are concerned. In the event our candidate cannot land the nomination, Mr. Louenstein will greatly appreciate the votes .of Jasper county’s delegation as well as those of the Tenth district.

Evidently Holding Up Some Postoffice Appointments.

. The commissions of the postmasters at Goodland and RenMngtcn expire Feb. 15, and that of the postmaster at Lowell on April 2. At this writing Congressman Peterson has made no public announcement of wio will be given any of these plums, even if he knows. ‘’Boss” Murphy has been quite busy of lite, it is said, in giving a little attention to his $6,000 per year job, on tlie public service commission, and it is possible that he has neglected to tell M>r. Peterson whom to Appoint, although it is reported that Murphy had parceled out all the postoffices in the district, in some cases promising one office to a halfdozen different, men, long before the last general election. The Remington office pays a salary of $1,500 per year; the Goodland and Lowell offices each SI,OOO. In the second best postoffice in the district, Hammond, the present incumbent's term will expire nexft December. , S. S. Tull, who was recently removed as postmaster at Monon, to make room for a democrat, would have served until Feb. 23, 1915, had be been allowed to fill out the term for which he was appointed. None of the other commissions of postmasters jn the district expire until 1915 and 1916, those of Crown Point, Hebron, Indiana Harbor and Monticello expiring in the latter year.

Ele Was Amusing.

We were greatlj 7 amused Tuesday afternoon at Ele Stansbury’s speech on taking the chair as presiding officer of the republican district convention here. His entire address was devoted to berating the democrats and shedding tears for the “millions of working men thrown out of employment” since the meazly democrats got in power. He also said that soon after the last election he 'had noticed in the newspapers where the boill raoosers were coming back in herds to the “family circle” of the party, and he had taken to clipping out all of these items that he run across, and saving them. But in a short time he had to quit becauseJltfs wife informed him that he was getting, the house chock full of these clippings. This sally was greeted with a few weak cheers from the assembled republicans, and we gave Attorney Frank Foltz, who was sit-

ting beside us, a nudge in the ribs and asked him where they all were, as we did not see a solitary one in the convention hall? Frank thougnr the mooSers hereabouts didn’t care to appear quite so publicly just yet, but they “would all be in line with the republicans next fall.” As a matter of fact the democratic national administration is making good, and there is no man walking the- streets today seeking employment who really wants a job. Some of the malls and factories, it is true, for effect, reduced, their forces during the latter part of the summer and fall, but their bluff had no effect, and both the tariff and currency bills were passed. Of course it was a costly lesson for the owners, and they are now hustling to make up the amount lost in their ill-timed attempt to influence legislation.

By the way, Mr. Stansbury, who is a resident of Warren county, the strongest republican county in Indiana so far as per cent of voters go, was the candidate for judge in the Benton-Warren circuit eight j ears ago when the republican majority in both counties was something like 2,000, and he was defeated by Judge James T, Saunderson by nearly 1,000 majority! So it is quite evident that Ele is not taken very seriously at home, where he is best known, and no one who 'heard his remarks here Tuesday could be impressed very favorably. The day is past and gone when political speakers can bambooze their hearers with that kind of rot.
