Others may do his work for him, but none his thinking. and after all it is the thoughts that govern the work, that reap happiness or sorrow, success or failure. Is there any one so despised as an irresponsible person is? This world of ours is, and always has been full of these kinds of people who- never are trusted with the least duty '.'fhiC11 15 EliVe1'1 them to perform. There are those who laugh at their duties and seek for themselves, thinking that they are the winners. But there is a time for fun, and a time for workg and there are times when we should think for ourselves and times that we should per- form for others. Many men who have had power granted them for doing great things have abused their power, and caused trouble. The late Kaiser might have done much for mankind. The aristo- crats of France might have preserved peace for the French people, and thus have saved their heads. The American people who have the power of ruling themselves might have prevented two hundred millions of dollars of their own money from being stolen if they had had enough sense to have voted ior good men to rule them. Life is one great responsibility. It matters not who or what a man isg he is absolutely compelled to carry some burdens upon his shoulders. The President in Washington has many duties to perform. So has the hermit on the mountain side. The gr gter the man is, the greater is his self responsibility. rf gngf,-,f,,,.,,.tW lege' ' W-nc. f '--:' i' f 1-Ofrlili -2- '
