Profit, ording to some of the old school arithmeties, is the difference between the price which a merchant pays for an article and the price for which he sells it. Some mer- chants and accountants call it gross profit. In modern trade language both are wrong. part of the difference between the cost pr price is profit.

How would it be, if instead of doing to others just what we would like to have them do to us, we did just a little bit more? Don*t stop, in your business or personal relations, at just} what you are supposed to do. Do a little bit more than that. Warren S. Stone, late chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, used to get to his office by 6 in the morning. He wasn’t supposed to, bit he did. Other national leaders are the same. at the bare requirements of their jobs. Success lies in giving that little bit more than you are required to. | is a splendid aim, 2 POLITICS In New York State they have been having trouble be- tween the state legislature and the governor over the mat- ter of a state park board. 3 The governor ha ted the park board drawn up and constituted in one way. The legislature, of a different po- litical complexion, wanted another. In newspaper comments on this battle we hear much of “strategy,” of looking ahead to the fall campaign, po- litical astuteness and so on. But somehow there seems to be strangely little though by anyone, as to what program would really be best for the common people, who, after all, pay the bills. Isn’t it about time cur political leaders stopped looking at every piece of legislation to see what it can yield in the | way of party advantage, and gave a little thought to the best interests of the state? | | SUCCESS | Fred W. Sargent, new president of the Chicago & North- western Railway, gives as the key to success the one word— industry. That’s comforting, especially for the young man or woman who is starting at the bottom with some big concern and wonders if real, hard work can ever be noticed in a world that seems to place so much reliance on “front.” Just industry. Not talk, or office politics, or ability to play a good game of golf with your superiors—just industry. The men who get to those places that are worth getting to are, almost without exception, the ones whose hard work took them there. It’s the only w: DISCOURAGED Probably the easiest thing in the world for most of us is to become discouraged. It’s inevitable that at one time or another we feel that our efforts are being wasted and that it isn’t much use to try any longer. Did you know that when Abraham Lincoln was 44 he wrote a letter to a friend declaring that his career seemed doomed to end in disappointment, and expressing discourage- ment in the stongest possible ‘terms? Not all of us, of course, can rise from our discouragement to do what Lincoln did. But it’s worth remembering. It ought to help spur us on to new endeavor the next time we think we're out of luck. , MEDIUMS Nearly every city in America is used to police campaigns against fake spiritualistic mediums. They are always accompanied by loud complaints from spiritualists, who assert the police are treading on the toes of a religion that means much to thousands of people. There is really no ground for such a complaint. If a medium is proved to be a fraud, why should even the most ardent spiritualist object to his arrest? And if no fraud can be proved, the police will take no action. Honest mediums don’t -suffer in these crusades. crooks do. But The first air murder has been reported.

Delay in cases where the need of an operation is indicated is often ex- tremely dangerous. Even. when pain and perhaps other symptoms disap- pear, the patient may not be free from danger. So, it is best to put one’s self in the care of a conscientious physician or surgeon when this disease is sus- pected. made ployment as news photographer must be aggressive, yet it is conceivable that he be at once a gentleman of ethics and of honor. I am moved to this defense of one branch of the journalistic family by a few little stories recently coming to my attention concerning Frank Mer- ta, a cameraman, and J. Pierpont Morgan, of Wall Street, of -tony Madison Avenue and of uncounted wealth. Their paths have frequently crossed and pleasantly enough for Mr. Morgan, though he hates pho- tographers as one would hate vipers. On one occasion the capitalist and the photographer met aboard ship. ery and calling to an officer of the ship. “Don’t take my picture,’ im- plored Morgan. “It is quite dis- tasteful to me.” He seemed in great distress, so Merta told him that he would destroy his plate if he and the ship’s officer would assure him that no other photographer would be ad- mitted to Morgan’s deck. With that pledge offered Merta destroyed the plate in his camera and also the plate in his pocket which nobody knew he had. Merta would have received a generous bonus for the picture which at that time would have brought a high price on the market. And here’s the little joke—after Mer- in and will) T boiied.” | Some time later Merta was as- signed to photograph Morgan in his upon him, raising a great hue and SS GOOD MORNING, CAN YOU TELL HACK PAST OH, THAT’S Nov CATO i!

The photograph was taken with the understanding that only one print was to be made and the plate to be destroyed. The pic- ture was to be framed and hung in the university hall. A newspicture agency hearing that Merta was. to take the picture offered him $500 if he would make one print extra be- fore destroying the negative. And the offer was turned down. And so the onjy photograph of J. P. Morgan in cap’and gown hangs in New York Yer 7 University.

JAPANESE PEER PREDICTS NEW CONFLICT WITH RUSSIA Tokyo, July 9.—UP)—Count Mich- imaga Soyejima, member of the House of Peers and a noted Japanese pub- lisher, who left recently for the United States to deliver a series of lectures at the international round- table conference at the University of Chicago, is of the opinion that Jap- an, within the next ten years, is likely to go to war, not with Ame: ica, but with Russia in Manchur! He so expressed himself recently in: an interview. “War between America and Japan’ on the Pacific'is physically impossi- | ble,” said Count Soyejima, “on ac- count of the great distance which separates the countries, even if there it. 4 Were cause for war. But war with Russia is not only possible but prob- able. Japan made a big mistake in extending recognition to the Soviet Government. Despite their solemn pledges to the contrary, the Russians are doing their best to spread com- munist propaganda in Japan and Korea, just as they have been Woing in China. They have failed to suc- ceed in China and they will also fail in Japan. The family system here is a splendid bulwark against commun- ism. “Russia is pursuing a policy in China every bit as imperialistic as that of the former Czars. The Chi- nese, blinded by their resentment against Japan because of the mistakes this nation has made, do not realize that Nippon is naw their best friend. In the event of a war between Russia and Japan, China might even be blind enough to assist Russia. A joint con- trol of China until she is able to take care of herself would not be a bad thing for that country.
