—II Samuel 15:4
LINDY . . misinterpreted
I do not recall any young
man who ever got so much un-
desirable publicity as Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh has had.
He sprung from obscurity into
the stature of a nation’s hero,
and immediately the tongues
of envy, jealousy and spite be-
gan to defame him. The "yel-
low press” refused to let him
live his own life and denounc-
ed him because he disliked the
limelight.
Even the awful tragedy of
the kidnapping and murder of
Lundy’s first-born son did not
still the tongues of those who
persisted in distorting every
word he said and misinterpret-
ing every action. It was the
same in Europe as at home.
When he reported that the
Russian aircraft equipment
was inferior, the Soviet press
called him a paid liar. When
he warned England of the
strength of the German air
power he was denounced as
pro-Nazi.
Recent events have proved
Lindy was right. Russian
planes have turned out to be
mechanical tin cans in Finland,
and the Red air force incom-
petent and untrained. And
England and France have
learned to their cost that Ger-
man superiority in the air was
no empty Nazi boast but the
Getting the
Job Done
Shakespeare went in for the poetry, Zane Gray was
a dilly for prose—
Lindberg flew the old ocean, and Bird went up
where it froze.
Ben Franklin flew a kite for electricity, Thos. Edison
taught machinery to talk,
And when it came to being a real fighter. Jack
Dempsey was the cock of the walk.
Henry Ford made the tin Lizzy, the Wright Brothers
the flying machine—
Arid Mr. Bell invented the telephone, hut the radio’s
the grandest we’ve seen;
These were all just wonderful things to do, and they
rank—ace high—ia their line.
But I build bodies with good wholesome food—just
try me—Phone Number Nine.

most serious menace the Allies
have met.
HEROES .... hatred
There is a strange quirk in
human nature which impels
many to turn against those
they have set on a pedestal,
often merely because the idol-
ized hero turns out to be really
modest, sincere and honest.
People of that envious tnm of
mind develop a hatred for oth-
ers who are better than they
are.
The people of ancient Ath-
ens banished their great lead-
er, Aristides, by popular vote.
Aristides himself asked one of
the citizens why he was voting
against him. "Because 1 am
tired of hearing him called
‘the just’,” was the reply.
In our own times, the great
popular hero of the war with
Spam was Admiral George
Dewey. Nothing was too great
to do him honor. When he
married, the public contributed
to a fund to present him with
a house in Washington But
the American people turned
sgainst him over night when
he transferred the deed of the
house to his bride.
Nobody in his own time, or
since, ever discovered anything
reflecting on the character of
George Washington, but all
sorts of malicious lies were cir-
culated and printed about him
in his lifetime.
Ordinary people are sham-
ed by the mere existence of sn-
perior men and want to drag
them down to their own level.
BUS1NE5S .... excuses
1 pay little attention to the
constantly recurring attacks on
"big business,” for I have been
around long enough to realize
the most of the outcry against
successful business men comes
from those who have not been
successful.
Men who have not them-
selves the qualities which
make for business success ex-
cuse their own failures by ac-
cusing the successful of dis-
honesty and unfair practices.
Since the vast majority of
men who go into business for
themselves eventually fail, de-
magogues who declaim against
the successful can always
drum up a large following.
Since no human being is per-
fect, there can always be
found enough examples of
lapses from the straight and
narrow path to give color to
the allegation that big enter-
prises are a menace to the
public and tend to stifle or sup-
press the “little fellow.”
That is the sort of talk that
many people fall for. They like
an “under dog” to be sorry for.
I have yet to meet a man who
is sorry for himself who has
anybody but himaelf to blame
for his troubles.
SUCCESS.....ideas
I have never known of a
successful business founded
and operated on any basis oth-
er than giving the customer
the most possible for his mon-
ey. AH “big business” was
small business at the start. The
world’s largest department
store grew from a single coun-
ter of piece goods sold by a
retired sea eaptaiu, R. H.
Macy.
A railroad man got the idea
of buying watches wholesale
and selling them at retail to
ether railroad men, ar.d the
great Sears-Roebuek mail-or-
der house is the result.
A shoe salesman had an idea
for better-looking shoes tc be
sold at one price everywhere.
Frank Melville’s son is no*
the head of the largest shoe
distributing and manufactur-
ing chain in the world.
I used to know a chap i
named Whelan who ran the )
cigar stand in the Yates House
in Syracuse. He had an idea
which grew into the United
Cigar Stores.
Dr. George Hartford had
an idea that there was profit ir.

selling tea cheaper than the
general stores sold it. His sons
still operate the largest chain-
store system in the world, the
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company.
Instead of beefing about
hard luck, get an idea and
make it work. That’s the oniy
rule for success I know of.
CHAINS . , enterprising
I’ve talked about chain
stores because they are the
“big business” enterprises
which touch the average citi-
zen closest. Some sell style,
some quality, some give more
for the money, some offer bet-
ter service; but every one of
them has succeeded because
they give consumers of their
respective lines what they
want at prices which satisfy
the buyers. If they don’t do
that they fail.
I don’t hear quite as much
talk as we used to about chain
stores driving the “little fel-
low” out of business.
Back of this talk probably
were the unsuccessful merch-
ants, exhibiting the same sort
fo envy of the successful which
is common to all human na-
ture.
