The ambition to succeed in the world involves a study of two problems individual pay or advancement, and class progress. Nearly every worker thinks of individual success as the only necessary step to attainment in money-making, but class progress is of far greater importance in securing, the bare necessities of life, and of a far greater importance in getting those extra advantages that we call luxuries. By "clans progress," we refer to the rights of the class of workers to which one belongs. There are the idle tramps, the idle aristocrats, the working rich, the mechanics, the day laborers, the intellectual worker, and so on. The chief line of division is between land-owners, ons of Industrie?, and laborers. Each "class" has separate interests, since one holds the ground on which work is done, the second supplies the tools and systematizes the industry, and the third does the manual work. To attain the greatest possible financial success for yourself, you must work, labor constantly for the best interests of your class, and it needs but a moment to consider how the pocketbook of the individual i.? affected by the way the government 1s conducted. Take, for example, the case of a bookkeeper with a family of four, who is getting one hundred dollars a month. Food, clothing and other articles affected by the tariff cost him over half of this amount. We have Oilie James" word for it that the average tariff today is forty-seven per cent. This means that our friend is paying over seventeen dollars every month in the year, in Indirect taxes, for tariff. The Democratic party calls attention to this condition and says, "Free trade." But the Republican replies, "It is true that thi3 man ray $1" a month for the tariff but he gets $20 more wages." The Democrat answers, "No. The owners of the tariff protected good3 get the $17 every month, while the worker gets only a little of it." The Socialist steps into the ring and says, "It makes no difference which plan you operate under; the employe will lose every time because it is the- employer's business to pay each man barely enough to keep alive. Let the nation own the trusts." Then says the Single Taxer, "You are all partly wrong. "What all men reed is an equal right to the use of the earth. Remove all taxes on industry and all restraints of every kind, but put a tax on all bare land regardless of improvements that will take away all value of land except when it is in use, and thus give every man an equal right to its use." We care not which of these you think Is right, if a man will only think. But the plain fact is that millions of men, of the "no-special-privilege" class, are paying today one-fifth of their entire income every month as a penalty for not thinking, and this fifth is the "cream" the profit above the bare bread line, that Btand3 for education, culture, opportunity and health for ninetyfive per cent of our people the great non-o-xning class, who hold supreme power in their hands and yet stand patiently by while the "interests" make their laws for them. Truly, success is of two kinds "individual" and "class." But men and women of the great "lower" class ill continue to die before their time and bring ignorant offspring denied every advantage, until the study of politics and class problems brings forth its result in prosperity to all.

BROAD OR DEEP? j Of all persons who binder the progress of religious thought, possibly the; most effective is the man w-ho is broad-minded without being deep-minded. Tr takes an exceptionally gifted man, one of unusual intellectual powers and ! mentality, rarely disciplined, to be '"broad" without spiritual deterioration. It has been well said that one's religion is like a river. When a river breaks j over its well-established and ancient banks, unless it. is a stream remarkably deep, It will quickly degenerate into an odorous and malarial swamp. J ! An extraordinary religious soul may break over the banks and hew out new J channels successfully. The ordinary man, breaking over the former restraints j in an intense desire to be "broad," usually accomplishes nothing except ! his own spiritual stagnation and the annoyance of bis neighbors.
