ABOUT WORKING FOR GLORY. Sixteen leading business men, serv tmg without pay, co-operate with the tayer of New Orleans in the manage- . merit of the municipal belt line built ' r th convenience of shippers. Thus is contradicted the prevailing notion that Americans cannot be enlisted in public work unless they are paid well for the expenditure of time and ef fort. ': :;n,:- Richard T. Ely, economist of' the University of Wisconsin, enumerates three leading motives for the activity f individuals. First is the desire for mrney to satisfy personal wants; sec ond is the dedtre to satisfy tjie wants f dependents; third is the desire for dividual distinction. The professor angel j remarks that the third often k , fee strong of all and that by i,f)laarfag on it properly social output f cents' -be materially increased. Cities, as well as private employers j . would do well to recognize the desire for personal distinction as a' logical and praiseworthy ambition. Only too ften the man who shows an indication r f wanting to make a name for him self is discouraged into being a mere money grubber. Aa a matter of fact his desire for publicity is a lever that should be used to spur him to his best efforts. Self effacement is a vir tue that few care to cultivate and that seldom is not appreciated when it is cultivated Most of the big achieve ments of this world have been wrought by men who had no idea of hiding their light under the bushel, who objected very strongly, in fact, to anyone else getting credit for the work they were doing. . A large per centage ofwhat has come down to us as shining examples of sacrifice of pecuniary considerations in zeal for the public welfare is due to the pres ence of a far more compelling motive than money regard. The way to get the most out of those with whom we are associated is to take them as we find them and not as we might wish them to be. Em ployers usually have a shrewd sense rf the monetary value of personal van ity and pay off in titles or other sym bols of preferment what otherwise they might have to pay in dollars. Cit ies if they are to get the greatest re- The Test Time determines whether the policies under which a bank la oper ated are sate. This bank has been In business twenty-six years. It has grown steadily until It has become one of the strongest and most prosperous financial Institutions In the West The soundness . policies Is attested by the long list of conserv ative business n.bu transact their business here; also by an earned surplus of J't-i.n-.OO, the work of time and the result of conservative managemit.

Any way, he is a poor stick of a man who won't bend every effort to secure his share of whatever local fame is being passed around, especially when he has a conviction that he has earned it Only when we concede that he is right in his desire for public notice will we get men to work harder for ' glory than they do for salaries. , Vice President Marshall says the newspapers are saying too much about him It is believed that this is the first time that any such thing has hap pened to one in his official position.

He is a water loving animal and can dive and stay under for '?'ht or ten minutes at a time. The Jaguar of South . America preys upon the capybara, and the In- dlans kill him for , bis flesh, which ' when smoked Is said to be as delicious . as a Kentucky bam. although It has a I certain musky flavor. The capybara makes a sound when alarmed some- ) what between n dog's bark and a pig's grunt.

It was bis first night of us, and he was frank. ; He confided to me that he was most struck by our "general .. helplessness" and illustrated his mean-1 lng by telling me that in the town he came from the lawyer thought it no ' shame to carry u sack of flour through the street, the doctor might be seen ! spending his leisure by painting nis bouse or the purxou engaged with spade and pick like any navvy. And now my Cuuadiau found he bad arrived In a country where a . man could not even ' pnrrv hln own nnrtnuinteau to the sta- tlon.

Are we not, then, called upon by the highest duties to our country, to its free Institutions, to posterity and to the world to rise above all local prejudices and personal partialities, to dis card all collateral questions, to disregard every subordinate oint. and. In a genuine spirit of comproiiii.se and concession, to unit" '.Kiit and band to pre wiie ior ourselves the blessings of free .government wisely, hon estly and faithfully administer ed, ami, as we received them from our fathers, to transmit them to our children? Should we not subject ourselves to eternal reproach if we permitted our differences about mere men to bring defeat aud disaster upon our cause?
