THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
The most manifest
sign of wisdom is a con-
tinual cheerfulness.
—Montaigne.
Selfish.
the Problem
Most of the troubles that
confront the world and many
of those that worry individuals
can be explained in a word of
eleven letters—Selfishness.
To elucidate this thought,
let us consider a single indivi-
dual; Who is entirely interested-! "
in what Ije can get. He grabs
what he wants to satisfy his
ambition, appetite and desires.
He takes no thought of other1
people and their rights. He is
unconcerned with the fate of
other human beings. Life, to
him, is completely successful
when he completely gratifies
his own ends. What would you
think of such a man? And
what kind of a world would
you expect if every man were
of this type?
Take, for example, a family,
group. Here we have the
fundamental organization of
society. Let us assume that
each member of the family—
father, mother and all of the
children—are concerned sole-
ly with their selfish ends. Each
is determined to get what is
coming to him or her without
any though of the other mem-
bers of the group. How long do
you think such a family group
would continue and what kind
of life would they lead as long
as the family continued to op-
erate?
The observations in regard
to individuals and family
groups apply equally to the
other organizations and institu-
tions of human society. It is
tree in reference to towns and
cities, counties and states, and
nations, as well. It is obvious,
in theory, when we reflect upon
the entire world.
As an individual, you control
the life of only one person.
You can direct yourself and
your relationship to other peo-
ple. You can make one use-
ful member of human society
if you are willing to give up
some of the selfishness that
makes human cooperation im-
possible. Whether you decide
or intend to do so is a personal
problem with yon. The answer
that you make measures the
extent of your contribution to
civilization. — Jacksonville
Daily Progress.

Watch Your Step
The average consumer pays little attention—to the
quality and character of food—
And don't stop to consider—if it’s wholesome and
pure and the kind that will really be good;
It’s the time of the year we should be on the alert
and watch carefully the things we may eat,
And not grab anything—for its lowness in price,
when you do—you are already beat.
For nine times out of ten—along with low price-
yon get very low quality, loo—
Disregard the old price that you pay for your food—
for there’s none that’s too good—for you—
To crowd that old stomach with inferior food is
nothing short of a crime—
When you can get the best—and the very best—by
calling old Number Nine.

TEDDY
The other day the survivors
of "Roosevelt’s Rough Riders”
gathered at Montauk Point, at
the east end of Long Island, to
celebrate the 40th anniversary
of the return of their famous
regiment, the First U. S. Vol-
unteer Cavalry, from the Span-
ish-American war. The event
took my memory back to
"Teddy” Roosevelt and his re-
markable personality and
career, and the political his-
tory which he made.
When Col. Roosevelt landed
at Montauk at the head of his
troops he had the Republican
nomination for Governor of
New York “in the bag.” He
little dreamed that in three
years he would be President of
the United States. I was with
him throughout his campaign
and during his term as gover-
nor. He got in by the skin of
his teeth. It was not a Repub-
lican year in New York. If the
Democrats had had political
sense enough to nominate a
war hero to oppose 'Teddy”
they would have beaten him.
As it was, he scraped through
by a bare 18,000 plurality.
Teddy Roosevelt made ene-
mies of all the machine politi-
cians, but how the common
people of his time idolized
him. No President before or
since ever had such a hold on
the public imagination, except
perhaps his fifth cousin, Frank-
lin.
made people like it.
When the party bosses dis-
covered that they couldn’t give
orders to the young man they
had made Governor of New
York they tried to “kick him
upstairs” by getting him nomi-
nated for vice-president in
1900. He was elected with
McKinley and took office
March 4, 1901. Three months
later President McKinley had
been murdered and Theodore
Roosevelt was President of the
United States.
RICHES .... interest
What made “Teddy’s”
career so interesting to me is
that, although he was the
wealthiest man who ever oc-
lar Chief Executive the na-
tion had ever had since Wash-
ington, and which made him a j
menacing figure in the eyes of
every pedatery interest which
he opposed.
HISTORY . . . influence
"Teddy" made world history
by one exploit which he un-
dertook on his own responsibil-
ity. That was the building of
the Panama Canal. For the
adequate protection of both
coasts of the United States the
canal was essential, to move
the fleet from the Atlantic to
the Pacific without a 3,000-
| miie detour around Cape Horn.
e j Without any authority but his jeB
* own high hand, he encouraged Pnnce.
Saul: Moral Failure
Lesson for September 11th.
X Samuel 10:21-25.
Golden Text: 1 Samuel 15:22.
How attractive Saul is at the
outset. A choice young man, a
huge, awkward cowboy, the
tallest in Israel, standing about
6 feet 9 inches in his sandals,
we watch him search for his
father’s stray cattle. And then
the unexpected happens! He
meets Samuel, with whom he
communes on the housetop,
and shortly he is anointed as
Israel’s first king. At this time
we find him handsome, modest,
and possed of the gift of
prophecy.
But how tragic is the story
of his years as king! A11 his
privileges became a curse.
They were turned into instru-
ments of ruin. Consider how
promotion proved to be his
downfall. The obligations of
kingship should have made
him a nobler, more useful
man. Instead he became jeal-
ous, moody, and disobedient.
Like Macbeth, who reached
the throne of Scotland by
the bloody murder of Duncan,
he degenerated in proportion
to the expansion of bis power.
His contact with Samuel,
which should have been an in-
creasing happiness, became,
by Saul’s conduct, an agency
of dissension until at last the
old judge was ' forced to de-
nounce the young king he had
crowned under such auspicious
circumstances.
His contacts with his splen-
did son Jonathan bred discord
instead of intimate affection.
On one occasion he would have
put Jonathan to death for a
trifling offense, had net public
opinion effectually interceded
o-. behalf of the popular
REFORMER . . showman
The people loved Teddy
Roosevelt because he was by
temperament a hater of op-
pression and in all his public
life an apostle of political re-
form. The politicians of his
own party hated him because
he was a reformer.
As a young member of the
legislature be fought the
bosses and put through the
first tenement-house reform
bill. He was a consummate
showman, and could dramatize
himself and the causes he ad-
vocated in a way which ap-
pealed to the public heart. He
took orders from nobody and
was the boss of whatever job
he Was in. U. S. Civil Service
Commissioner, New York City
Police Commissioner and As-
sistant Secretary of the Navy
"Teddy” stole the show and
cupied the 'White House, his
interest and sympathies were
all on the side of the common
people. Rich men mostly hated
him, called him a "traitor to
his class.”
When “Teddy” first ventur-
ed into politics at 23, as a can-
didate for the legislature, his
friends and family protested.
“You'll have to rub elbows
with crooks, bartenders and
ail sorts of disreputable char-
acters,” they toid him. "If
that’s so, then they are the
governing class,” he replied,
“and I intend to belong to that
class.”
So sickly as a boy that his
family feared he would never
live to grow up; his eyesight so
impaired that he had to have
constant attention from occul-
ists, Teddy Roosevelt built
himself into an athlete ■ by
sheer strength of will. Of all
the men I have ever known, I
think of none who had such in-
domitable courage and such
persistence in the face of op
position.
COURAGE . . . boldne*
I had many opportunities to
observe Theodore Roosevelt's
courage in standing up for
what he believed to be the
right, no matter how strong
the political pressure to do
something else might be. He
was never a compromiser for
the safe ok expediency. He
went ahead and did what he
thought ought to be done, re-
own high hand, he encouraged
the State of Panama to secede
from the Republic of Colombia,
set up its own independent na-
tion, and grant a concession for
the canal to the United States.
Our government later paid
$25,000,000 to Colombia as
balm for our hasty recognition
of the new Republic of Pana-
ma, but we had the canal.
It seems difficult to realize
that it is only forty years since
gardleas of political conse-
quences.
I once heard him say that his
conception of the authority of
the president was that he could
do anything which the Consti-
tution did not prohibit him
from doing, whereas his pre-
decessors had the view that
the President’s powers were
limited to what the Constitu-
tion specifically permitted him
to do.
It was that quality of bold-
ness and aggressiveness which
made ‘Teddy’’ the most popu-
His associations with David,
which might have been highly
beneficial, proved to be a
source of keen irritation. A
passionate enmity against his
successor flamed out in Saul’s
breast, and he pursued his
highminded rival like a wolf,
seeking to take his life.
And Anally he died a suicide
on the field of battle, his army
routed in complete defeat. Tak-
