[tgs |{ On the Issue of 7*mericanism There Can y Be No Compromise —————<—< nnn The Good Loser BY DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1926, by Frenk Creme) You have heard how nothing succeeds like success, and how the world loves a winner, and how a successful man finds everybody rendy to help him to further triumphs, and it’s all true enough; but there’s something truer and not so generally known, and that is that the world loves a good loser. Look about you among your acquaintances and note the ones that are the most popular’ and the ones you yourself like best. They are, I veriture to say, not the fellows who are luckiest or cleverest or most capable, or those who draw the most pay, but they are the boys that don’t get grouchy, those that lose and keep good-natured, those who, when they fail, get up and brush off the dust and go at it again as jolly as ever and don’t lie in the mud and whine. The language of the street has a word syllable—“sport.”. When President Roose- Western men because they were good sports, he meant just what I am trying to express here. “Sport,” like some other words, has room for a lot of meanings; it may signify may stand for shameful things; but, right- ly understood, a “sport” is just a real man - oa who can take defeat and not get soured. But some one may say: “Oh, I can stand | a licking, all right, and I don’t mind losing out if its a square deal. But what makes me hot is injustice. When some miserable shrimp that doesn’t know beans is promoted over me I can’t help being disgusted. When trickery and toadying and little meannesses sneak in and carry away the prize from fel- lows who are straight, ———. then is when I w warm under the collar. But ny? You don’t understand. That is not the time to swear. That's the time to amile. Life would not be funny if virtue were always rewarded at once. To see the jackdaw with peacock feathers stack in his tail, to see the peanut thinking it is a cocoa~ nut, to see the frog swelling up till he thinks he is the size of a cow—all this is the comedy of existence. It is to laugh. You'd just as well be a philosopher. You feel much better, and certainly those around you feel much better, than if you fume andy ‘ ‘ fret. There was a deal of sense in the man in the story, who was attacked without reason by a drunken Irishman, who knocked him down and rolled him into the ditch, exclaim- ing: “There! Lay there, you dom Swede.” The man arose laughing. As the Irishman passed on, wondering and muttering, the man still laughed. Some one who had seen it all asked him what he was laughing about. , “That’s a good yoke on that fellar,” said the man. “He thought I bin a Swede—and I bin Norwegian!” Mr. Prebet and retain our confidence i) my punch in my pocket.” mapkind.—-Sumner (la) Gaaetta ° “Mins Oolooah Burner te national for Greren, Shak tm wmy tet WC But, as the street car conductor : “Bome day the prohibi tionints will be after me for carrying | A.” says the Ban cle.
