There is no longer the smallest argument for prohibition as an aid in conserving natiogal resources needed for the active business of war.

The President would have Americans feel the costs avd burdens of war lighter on their shoulders as they realize the rtunity and promise ahead, “Peculiar and very stimulating con- ns await our commerce and industrial enterprise in the imme- future, Unusual opportunities will presently present them- ves to our merchants and producers in foreign markets and large fields for profitable investment will be opened to our free capital.” + The Nation’s war obligations are large and taxes are heavy. Nevertheless the President believes the figures to which those obliga- _ tidns have risen “are not so great as to make it difficult for the Nation to me¢t them, and meet them, perhaps, in a single gener- ation.” “The immense sums we have had to borrow added to the immense sums we have had to raise by taxation” make a total that | is not, thePresident points out, quite the formidable debt it seems | “For @ very large proportion af those sums were raised in order that they might be loaned to the governments with which we were associated in the war, and those loans will, of course, constitute assets, not liabilities, and will not have to be taken care o: by our taxpayers.” The President believes the income tax can be reduced and made easier of collection; he is certain the excess profits tax can be’ lowered toe point where it will not “discourage the enterprise and activity of our business men.” Among taxes to be got rid of he mentions specially taxes upon articles sold at retail which, as he points out, “are largely evaded by the readjustment of retail prices.” Readjustment, he might hav added, that in many cases takes not only the tax but an exjra dealer's it as well from the purchaser’s pocket. Repeal of the so-called " Maxury taxes would be a vast relief. * 3 For the rest the country is particularly fortunate, the President reminds Oongryss, in having no occasion to revise its import duties _ under fear of foreign competition, “hating emerged from the war leas disturbed and less weakened than any of the European countries which are our competitors in manufacture.” , All this is the sound, cheerful, reassuring basis upon which ses is urged to go ahead with labor legislation calculated to Yering labor and capital into still closer interdependence, to provide for the return of the railroads and of the telephone and telegraph systems to their private owners, to enlarge the activities of the De- partment of Labor in finding jobs for returned soldiers, and to do tte part toward putting Woman Suffrage into the Constitution. Without dealing with other domestic problems whicly as tho President says, he should leave until he is at home where he can| better grasp them, the Presidential message from overseas conveys) sane, optimistic good sense that ought to become a dominant, steady- fing ingredient of-th8 “Reconstruction” so many persons, including legislators, talk about without the faintest notion where it is to be _ found ‘or furthered. : | : Letters From the People.

Success is not enough; it needs more than that. Success is more than gaining the commercial end or even the profes- sional end in one's vocation, En- joyment in one's work is a prime factor; it is a large part of life, be- cause work takes up a large part of our energy and time and reserve forces, Every day we meet men who are successful from the purely vocational point of view, but dissatisfied with what they have to do, Often their dislike is purely imagi- native, or we may say comparative; they think others enjoy their work more, that others have a much easier job, that the world owes them more fun and pleasure than they are get- ting out of life. Sometimes they are right. Often the trouble is the re- sult of wrongly colored glasses, which see the worry spots darkly and the rest of the job through a kind of men- tal haze. But they are still success- ful in spite of the apparent haze The something wrong in these cases & wrong idea cohcerning some part of their attitude, not in their work but concerning their work, A little, inquiry put to other successful men by those who do not enjoy thelr work will prove that there are others who also have dark spots on their voca- tional glasses, and the remedy is to be found in’an interest closely bound up in the work they are doing. A first class experimental machin- ist came to me some years ago wanting “a new job." His capability stood out clearly; he agreed that he was successful, but dissatisfied; “It's always ublike, but still it’s tiresame.” I suggested a byplay jp the geometric lathe, its studies and possibilities, its interests and the beautiful things it can do, as shown in the engravings on our bonds and currency, In a few months he came back, overjoyed, and said he had found many things of value in complex The “Hiad to Success Or Choosing the Right Vocation By Dr. Holmes W. Merton (The Evening World's Authority on Vocational Guidance.) ). by the Press Publishing Co, Enjoyment in Your Work (Tho New York Fvening World), it, and it’s easy.’ It was a matter of adding interest to the stress of the dead centre points of his work. If you are doing well and are suc- cessful in your vocation, but do not get enjoyment enough out of the hours you are at work—then take the stress ffom the “dead-centre” points ‘by @ variety interest in your vocation. Complete enjoyment in your work is only possible when you are in your right vocation; it is evidence that you are, points of interest have been discov- ered, that the work is one in which the right natura) talents and abili- ties are called into play. Show me a man or & woman who is enthusias- te about his or her work, and I will show you that he or she is successful in it For instance, a successful ad- vertising man enjoys. bis work be- cause he is using all his advertising such as his language, sense of forms, color, imaginative commer- clal vision, &c., and no matter what proposition comes up he sees in it the advertising possibilities, Put’ this successful advertising man over into another position, say that of a saies- 3; he wouldn't be happy in it be- cause the faculties required in a salesman are, except his language, \otally different from those of an ad- vertising man, Therefore one of the first tests you can apply to your work to find out if you are in the right position is, Does it sustain my in- terest, not only when I am on the job, but during my idie hours? Would I rather do this than anything else? Enjoyment of your work is a vital factor in your future success, Every Person who has attained distinction and success in his work found in it abundant enjoyment and enthusiasm. Many think that the great difficulty with mosf people is that they are more concegned with thelr weekly pay ecavelope and their quitting time than with the work in which they are en- waged, The real trouble is that they are not fitted for their work or they would enjoy their work and its con- cerns as mtich as they do their pay envelope and their quitting time, leecentrics as well as great curiosity in what they could do, and “My work has never been so interesting, I enjoy In these columns Dr. Merton the be glad to negor qui ions from readers.

But “Doc” would not have it so.
