A man with a single idea is a

WE NEED A MAN.
The reason why so inauy of us fail
to achieve greater success in life is l
because we do not exert the necessary
will power to accomplish more
i elinite results.
Look over the people of this
town. Study their habits, their
speech and their accomplishments.
You will And many of them who undoubtedly
possess an enormous re- i
serve of will power. The'r every :
word and action indicates as much, i
But there is a perceptible disposition
; to hesitate which prevents the <
bringing of that reserve force ac- i
lively into play. The natural re- !
suit is that they are only moderate- <
1> successful when they should be i
rising to great heights. i
In this our people are in no re- f
spect different from those of ntimr <
places and other climes. It is a trait 5
of human nature and will survive i
until the end of the human race. t
Occasionally we read or hear of i
some great man who began life in t
an humble way. If you could look r
down deep into the soul of that man i
you would see that he is just a hu-| i
man being like the rest of us, with
this exception. He has fought and i
conquered the retarder, hesitancy. 1
and has brought into full action the \
will power that lies dormant in a i
majority of people. His normal c
mind perceives an opportunity and a
his will and determination fcco i
him to grasp it. The results is sue-j
cess. The world hears of him while j
the rest of us live and die in the
peaceful obscurity of our own little r
circles.
There are those anion;, us who
have in them the making of men and
women of national note hut Hesitancy
dogs their step-. Their acute
m'tids : ee the oopoi 'O ities ahead
of tliem hut hesitancy whispers to
them to wait, and while they are (
v.aiting opportunity marches on. It (
pauses for no man.
This town is overflowing with |
brains, but most of them arc lying ,
dormant, working only as necessity (
requires. ?
As a community we need an <
awakening. We need a revival of i
will power and of determination, 1
We need a hlg boot that will lift i
hesitation and hroerastination into l
eternal oblivion and forgetfulness. 1
We need action. ;
Rut above all we need commercial
pastor for the flock. We need a '
mr.n who has fought and eonnuered 1
hesitancy, who is achieving success
himself, who will take us by the 1
and and lead us into the way of ac- 1
complishment and results. Wo nood 1

?you all know him?hut hesitancy 1
is niakine its last desperate appeal. *
lie is fighting alone and valiantly in
his efforts to finally and definitely
divorce himself from all hesitancy
and procrastination. He has the
1 cart, and the wUl. and the desire '
to lead and to be of use to his follow '
men. but diftidency alone prevents.
It Is the last link in the chain of
hesitation that still holds him in
leash. t
we are writiner this editorial for i,
Ms benefit. We know he will, read <
it. and we hope it *v<ii serve as an '
inspiration and encourage him to *
make the supreme effort that will t
free him from all restraints and r
ace his great intellect and natural I
rower of will at the disposal ,of our ^
iown and our community. t
We need this man. We need .lis (
rounsel, his advice, and his leader- '
-hip. We need him now.

True loyalty does not consist of I
getting out in public and shouting
to the winds of the glories of out
country and how we can lick the
world with our hands tied behind us.
We have a few such 'patriots,"
but they have never set the world
afire and we never expect to see
them fighting for their country.
When bullets are singing and shells
are shrieking such "patriots" are ususually
found industriously fishing
in financial waters far to the rear.
What we need is patriotism that)
impels a man to love his country for
what it is and for what it has done
for h'mseif and for the rest of mankind.
When a man is imbued with
this b^and of loyalty he will give
even life itself for his country when
the need arises, and he will have no
self plaudits to hurl at his fellow
men in glorification of his own acts.
He will not dispense wind.
We have many Just such true patriots
right in our own midst, hut
they are quietly pnrsuinsr their dailv
routine, hoping: and praying that the
government may steer the ship of
state safely through the troublous,
waters without loss of honor or dignity.
Today they are simply loyal citizens
of the republic. Tomorrow
they may he heroes who have fought
and died for tfielr country.
Who knows?

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT.
Many soldiers serving on the bor-|

he primaries and at the general
dection as a reward (?) for their
patriotism and fidelity In time of

luardsmen. over a hundred thousand
of them, were sent to the borler

raids of the bloodthirsty hrigan Is

thorn left positions in civil life
which paid them many times he

The sacrifices fhev have made ar?
not small. And vet there if" no gov'omental
law which gives them the
light to vote at their company stations

their homes.. The soldiers from a
few States enjoy this privilege

many do not It Is a shame, a disgrace.
