F. D. SINGLETON Editor. I
Here are a few questions for
us to think about:
Do we makd our districts, coun
ties and towns, or do our districts,
counties and towns make us?
Do we make conditions and
circumstances, or do we let con
ditions and circumstances make
us?
Do we make our environment:-,
or do we let our environments
make us.
Do we direct and control, or
are we directed and controled?
Napoleon was once told that
and not the well fare of our na
tion.
The fact of the whoje matter
is this. Educate the masses of
the people. Lift the masses up,
then leaders of high character
will be put forward. If the ma
jority of us are earnest, firm and
God-fearing citizens, the man
who aspires to leadership will
fear to be otherwise. There is
much need of independent
thought in this age, and too
many yield to the opinions of
others without asking or medita
ting upon their bearing. To per
ceive and think acurately, should
be the aim of all education and
mental training. True courage
is the result of acurate thinking
and reasoning. Thought is to
the brain what gastric juice is to
the stomach. Take away thought
from the life of man and what
remains? Human thought and
knowledge is but an accumula
tion of facts handed down by
successive generations and care
fully treasured up, which makes
this great common wealth of our^.

they are offering many special

circumstances^were against him,
and his reply was, “ I make my
own circumstances.” Napoleon
was a man of unusual will, but
what he was able to do for a long
time in hisjarge sphere of action,
a common man may do in his own
little sphere.
‘‘I can’t! It is impossible said
a lieutenant to Alexander, ‘‘The
Great.” “Begone!” shouted the
conquoring Macedonian in reply,
“there is nothing impossible to
him whOflWill try, ” t and to make
good his words, the haughty
warrior, not yet come to weep
that there were no more worlds
to subdue, [charged upon the
enemies, and the foes went down
in destruction.
But we cannot escape^the fact
that every man ar.d woman are
largely the products of the con
ditions of life that surround
them. The great are no except
ion to the rule. Leaders and
statesmen are usually neither
better nor worse than the people
they lead and represent. A man
who makes &* great speech or
writes a great piece of 1 terature
usually just puts into good lan
guage and literary form the crude
ideas of the people amo.ig whom
he lives and works.

Three million people felt and
we*e striving hard to express the
lofty sentimentsTthat, Jefferson
put into his immortal Declaration
of Independence. Andrew Jack-
son was a man of unusual leader
ship in his day. No man, not
even Washington, ever had a
stronger hold upon our people
than Jackson,;or seemed to con
trol them more, but the truth is,
Jq^kson was controled by the
people, fie was one of the great
mass of the common people just
then rising into power. He felt
with them and’’acted with them.
There are many other such cases.
If you know a real leader^ he is
apt to be a representative of the
ideas of the people he leads, and
in a sense, he follows rather than
leads. Then give us not men like
weathercocks, that change with
every wind, but men like moun
tains, who change the winds
themselves.
Our national leader, Hon.
Woodrow Wilson, is a man of
learning and thought, with an
educated mind and i pure heart,
listening to, and observing every
vibration of the great masses ot
