THE_STATE’S OLDEST: NEWSPAPER ' (Established 1878) THE SKELETON KEY : Life is so full of false platitudes about: how to, become successful, it is a wonder that any one | ever manages to succeed at all. Suis i We take a rising generation, to whom life is a curtained mystery, and befuddle them -with wrong directions for reaching success, then wonder why | the average person ends life about three month removed from the bread line. ~ The young man, going into the world, has an | inflated idea of the possibilities of success. | He | der is big enough to hold every one, that every man is a potential John D, Rockefeller if he learns | the system and follows cut-and-dried rules. Yet all grown-ups. eventually know that thes are fallacies—that many of our greatest successes are,cfeatures of chance... | Why not be honest wjth ourselves and admit misguiding them? oH iH The young man is told to “work chard.” Yet | hard work often:leads to failure. It all depends on what the hard work is applied to. ‘A Hercules could work himself to death, mak- ing fire pokers out of wax. But his efforts would be neither useful to society rior profitable to him- | self. Misdirected energy. { What the young man needs, first of all, is to | find the work to which he is best suited.- And | then to use his brain. Try to devise a way of do- ing the old thing more quickly and economically. For instance, the humble maker’ of shoelaces could become a millionaire by inventing and mar. keting a shoelace with a metal tip that wouldn’t keep slipping off. The man-who watches the clock is universally condemned. Yet the man who is speeding his work, trying to cram more productive effort into . a.set time, has to watch the clock. 4 An efficiency‘ expert, lecturing junior clerks, said, ‘As I came into the room, I saw the secret of success on the door.” What was it?” He ex- pected to hear, “Push.” A wise boy said, “Pull.” In a sense, the wise boy was right. The plati- tude tell us that pull doesn’t count. But we all know that cultivation of influential friends often is a short-cut to success. The greatest lesson that can be learned by the young'man, just striking out for himself, is that _, this is an age of specialization and that the aver- = age man must find his life-field and start getting training in it before he is 25.

Bismarck, N, D., Jan. 26. Editor Tribune: ' It is an old and well known sjying, that it the people wait long enough they are sure to earn the truth. Truth, crushed to earth is bound to rise ard confront those who have tried to hide it. And, that this old saying is ‘true is being proved today’ to the { pecple of our state. | I wonder just what the farmers are thinking, these days, about those who have professed to give, them the truth in their daily paper, and, all the time, according. to that same paper's con- fession have been steadily deceiving them. There: are many,‘too many, who have continue@ = following their so- called leaders, after, conditions had | proven time aid again’ that these lead- erg were not worthy, of:trust; we have gone blindly 6n hoping against. hope, and striving against ‘greater and greater obstacles, greater no doubt on account of the fact that our men whom we trusted-were deeéiving us by ‘Hid- ing. the truth, and causing us to be- lieve whatever they wished us to be- lieve. 4 Ly If, as the Cotif¥ér-News admits, Wil- liam Langer was-ever a friend of the people who placed him. in office, if he did his duty, and was honest and true, then, what shall. we say about those who have deceived us so bitter- ly? What shall we say of those who have crucified him on the cross of Public Opinion, and held him up as a traitor to the people whom he had done his best to serve? All of us know-there can be no more terrible punishment than that of pub- lic condemnation; no matter how great the man, no matter how wealthy, once he is condemned by the people, held up to public ridicule and con- demnation, he can never be the same man again. | Mr, Langer; surely few. men have been called upon to ;hear. shame. and disgrace that he has—and all because, as the Courier-News” admits, he d fered with others. 1, for one, feel that a terrible injustice has been done Mr. Langer, and the people who have been ' so deceived owe him a public apology; |1 feel that he should be restored to Sugar is now being correctly weighed and sealed | A A p | ‘ ee | dren, at school, are getting their “hands” and | subtic confidence’ in this manner, and in dust’ proof packages, by machinery, in a 25th of the time required to.“put it up” by: hand,. says the American Sugar Bulletin. ~ : Machines thus také’ the place of human labor— releasing, for other useful work, those who would otherwise be employed in packing sugar by. hand. __ It gains a greater variety of commodities, raising | if the standard of living.

Is it-true, that there are But.few men in ‘the world who. are really honest, or is it that the farmers have misplaced their confidence? This thing is bound to cause a_re-action against the League; it is hard to regain contidence once it is lost. Like the boy who deceived the men who were sent to help him the cry of “Wolf, Wolf” will no longer be heeded by the farmers. - The committee did the only possible thing by retracting. what they had tiot a shred of evidence to uphold. them with; and, the Courier-News has been forced to humble itself in the dust, on account of what was. printed. And right here, I want to say that I do not hold the Committee entirely blameless in this.
