Chi fo bide Panedian The Power of the Little Man Jack Johnson, the prizefighter, testifies in a legal bi hearing in New York that he is “always afraid of a smaller man.” Johnson says a big man never worries him, but that Small men are more dangerous than big men because they are more cunning. “They can run around your legs quicker,” Jack. Boxing fans can elaborate this into a discussion of the relative importance of weight and punch, compared with “leg work” and speed in general. All of us can apply the idea to everyday life—the man of quick decision and swift action beating the man of standing, much influence and great power. fost of us, if we had to face Jack Johnson in a fight, would rather be eight feet tall and tip the scales at 250 pounds, instead of the small man who annoys him. Nevertheless, Jack’s views should increase the self confidence of the gentlemen who have to stand on tip- toes in a crowd to see the girl-demonstrator in the drug store window. The secondary importance of size or strength has been ed by the philosophers since before Socrates. Napoleon, “the LITTLE corporal,” was short Size and strength are secondary to speed and brain laments And, of all human forces, brain power is the mightiest. Charles Darwin, one of the most powerful men that ever lived, was a physical weakling, spending all but a few hours a day in bed during his most creative period. A child of 15 could have knocked Darwin thru the ropes. He couldn't carry a pail of water a block with- Out collapsing. Yet Darwin exerted a greater power than all the prizefighters that ever lived. Foolish young men, vainly boasting, “Feel my muscle,” will realize later in life that what really counts is brain, not brawn. : The truly wise man will develop both brain ant brawn. “Together they make an unbeatuble team.

Read again. Does it not contain about the gist of the d’s needs today? Coal, railways, oil, Mexico, Ger- ny, the clashing races, the duty of the United States the world, the tariff, every one of our problems are included in it. _ And, after reading it, ask yourself what party we have America which is even aware of these problems. Ask self what has appeared in the action of congress, or president, of any branch of our government, which recognizes that such questions exist. And yet civ- tion itself depends upon the world’s adopting some th program as would lead to the study of these ques- tions, the development of these new sciences.

Watch This Proposition Surface indications are that both the administration and congress are opposed to the proposed merger of the big meat packers, who claim that the same would mean a saving of $50,000,000, the direction the saving would take being not specified. The main obstacle to the packing monopoly making itself a tighter monopoly seems to be the packers’ and stockyards’ act. When an act interferes, the play is to haul it up before the United States supreme court and | have it diagnosed as unconstitutional. With $50,000,000 ' involved, have the meat packers the nerve to do this? They would.
