It is energy wasted, however, notwithstanding that Graham is a good citizen and good legislator. But for Governor—Oh, let’s change the subject. -------- o-------- DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK REDERICK D. UNDERWOOD. President of the Erie Railroad company, says: that there is a maxim to the effect that everyone should “pull his weight in the boat.” Whoever fails puts greater burden on the other for, “willy-nilly,” everyone is pulling and being pulled. The question is: Are we pulling a fair share? It not, why not? Are we willing to pull or are we expecting others to labor harder at the oar that we may labor less? Is the axiom that everyone should pull his weight possible in the operations of the world? That the remedy for our troubles is within reach, but | so far has not been reached. They would be over won the so-called Golden Rule in universal operation. It is so j simple and so obviously would bring relief that its gen eral acceptance is well worth pulling for. My opinion is that the point of beginning is in kinder-1 gartens, schools and all institutions of learning. Somei children are taught nothing at home. Some little morel than that. When the Golden Rule is introduced as a fun damental feature into all educational institutions, it will be helpful. Family discipline and churches cannot be de pended upon. Other needs in the home supplant the fun damentals. The churches work one short day in seven and many people are not church goers; but, in our uni versal school law, which enforces the attendance of every child, is the logical starting point for the plan. Catch them young. Drill them all alike. When one thinks . what could be accomplished in this respect in a com paratively few years, it is impressive. Impress the child ren the wisdom of logical thinking, the unwisdom of emotional surmises, the difference between impulses and facts ,and that eloguence is not always correct.—Copy right 1925 by Edson R.

This question having been settled by the young people themselves, who should know more about it than anyone else, it is rather odd to note that it is the back number who gets through life with the best jobs and gets through life with the least trouble. Old fashioned employers, for no known reason, certainly for no good one, prefer the young man who is courteous, even when being so means being scoffed at by others.
