THE DAUNTLESS SPIRIT OF THIS DAY.
The barrier of incredulity which the announced
discovery of a serum which Would cure and pre
vent tuberculosis furnishes another striking evi-
dence of the skepticism of man, even in this age
of increasing wonders, and the achivement of the
seemingly impossible. Whether or not the Fried-
man discovery will measure up to the claims made
for it. The News believes that such a method will
be found to successfully combat the alarming in
: crease off the great white plague, and thar within
no great period of time.
The Naurs has faith in this age, and an abiding
confidence in the ability of modern man to accom-
plish whatsoever he may set his hand, 'heart and
mind to do. And in order to add convincing argu-
moot to the assertion, the following inspiring edi-
torial is taken from a recent issue of The Human
Factor:
Did you my. ''It cannot be done?"
That is the cry of every timid soul of little faith
and feeble purpose, when confronted with n task
demanding courage, concentration and strength
of will.
Have you observed what has happened to the
obstacles found in the path of program during the
past forty years?. Here are some proposals—do
you remember what you said about them? “:
In 1875: We shall draw from the open air an
invisible force that shall run our machinery, pull
our trains and light our cities; we shall transmit
the human voice and converse with earn over the
telegraph wirel we shall abandon the pen for type
in writing our business letters; we shall record and
reproduce the human voice for the pleasure and
profit of mankind.
'Dreams, dreams, it cannot be done."
In 1880: Let us conquer yellow fever and cut
in half the death rate from tuberculosis, typhoid
and diptheria; let us build a torpedo boat that will
speed safely and swiftly many fathoms under the
sea; let us build arcompact engine of high power
and have "horseless carriages."
"Utterly impossible; it cannot be‘done." h
,ln 1890: Let us increase life insurance protec-
tion of the American people during the next 22
years from three billion to eighteen billion dollars.
"Ridiculous; it cannot be done."
In 1895: We shall send telegrams through
space along electrical waves that follow the earth's
curve; it will be of great value on the high seas-
Let us also photograph motion and reproduce it in
moving pictures. 7 o
"More dreams; it cannot be done."
In 1898: Commodore Dewey will fight and de-
feat the Spanish fleet and forts in Malila Bay with-
out losing a man or ship.
"Hopeless; it cannot be done."
In 1902: We shall soon 'have flying machines
that will travel as fast as 100 miles per hour.
"Preposterous; it cannot be done." ,
In 1903s Will Japan defeat Russia in the war?
'Too weak; it cannot be done.”
In 1909: The North and South Poles will yet
be reached by man.
"The dream of centuries; it cannot be done."
In 1910: China, the oldest and most absolute
government, will be changed into a Republic.'
"Wildest suggestion of all; it cannot be done”
But all these marvelous things have been done,
have they'not? ,
‘Is it not inspiring to reflect upon the success-
compelling force of the brave, strong, purposeful
men who-have in your day performed these and
other "impossibilities?”
Who cannot win?—-Chiefly those who cling to
the childish habit of imagining shadows into feroc-
ious beasts; and those who would rather brood,
moon and whine over difficulties than attack
them. -
Are you in this class? If so, you have not the
faintest conception of the joy of real work. Are
you turning your back upon opportunity and wait-
ing for some trifling, spiritless, purposeless task to
turnup /
If so, UP. UP, UP," is the motto for you.
Stand up./Cheer up. Grit up. Front up like a
man to your task, whatever it may be, and get in
tune with the daring and dauntless spirit of the age.
/ You will find then that the best way to dispose
of a task that "cannot be done,”—is to dot it.
FACE IT.
(By George Matthew Adams.)
Some people fancy that to Dodge a task or
duty is about the easiest possible thing to do.
The truth is. however, it is always easier to walk
right up to your task or duty and—Face It.
The most difficult thing in the World is to dig
up an excuse or reason for Dodging what you
should Face.
It is unfortunate that the most costly lessons
are many times learned late in life. The great-
est reason for this is our timidity,and cowardice
in Facing every problem just as soon as it Face#
us. Many a man has evaded a problem in his
youth that he could have easily Solved at that
time and then gone on, but which he refused to
grapple with until compelled to 'Face It, under
cover" of the bitterest pangs of sorrow and re-
morse. PA
- It takes greater courage to Decide to do a
thing than it does to Do the thing.
Have you a particularly difficult .piece of
Work to do today? Face It Have you an en-
emy? Face him—and make him your Friend.
You feel, yourself capable of more important
work than you are now doing? Face the new
Work, and decide your Mastery over it What-
ever your Problem, Face It—with Fortitude and
without Fear, and with the Calmness that comes
to a man when he decides to go ahead according
to his Conscience. —
Sidestep—Dodge from nothing. If a thing is
worth working out, Face it and Finish it
