THE SQUARE DEAL
■poll a good many thousand years
leaders of thought and morals have
been trying to establish the square
deal on the face of this earth.
The Golden Rule Is older than the
Scriptures. Efforts to make men do
as they would be done by date back to
Confucius.
Up to tiie last reports, none of these
efforts had altogether succeeded.
There Is still cheating and lying and
stealing ami Injustice In the world.
The little boy growing up in a good
home believes everybody Is honest nnd
kind, and only after lie gets out in the
world Is he bitterly disillusioned.
And even after his years in school
or In college, he finds himself ex)»ect-
ing to be fairly dealt with In business,
and Is disappointed when he finds that
this Is not always to be.
It would, we believe, be n mistake to
destroy the Ideals of childhood. We
ought to have Ideals nt some stage of
our existence, and childhood Is about
the only time when they are not likely
to be shattered.
But when you start out to fight the
world for your living, the sooner you
realize that you must nt times meet
with Injustice and unfair dealing, the
less likely you will be to cry out that
you failed because every man’s hand
was against you.
The world has still a long way to
go In Its Journey toward civilization.
It will have many setbacks before the
end of the Journey Is reached.
Today, If yon find other men deal­
ing unjustly with you, even though you
deal Justly with them, <10 not be
shocked or surprised.
There are such men In the world—
many of them. Treat them fairly, hut
be prepared for a different kind of
treatment from them, and don’t whine
if you receive It.
Be alert to read character. Pick out
honest nnd straightforward men to
deal with—particularly ns employers.
Be on your guard against cheats,
and men who would exploit you. They
are always inferior in intelligence to
men who do business honestly, nnd
therefore less likely to be able to be
of service In advancing you.
Don't complain when you nre unfair­
ly dealt with. Grit your teeth and en­
dure It. Find the right kind of people,
who nre still abundant, nnd make
them your friends, nnd your company,
nnd your business associates.
It will be n long hunt, but the re-
suits will repay you the time you
spend on It.
