Success and Honesty Hand-In-Hand
Te Ihc VMIer at the .'vcnliit; J'lielle Lcdatr:
Sir t cannot allow the nrtlcle appearing
In the Teople's Forum, entitled "IJuslneBs
Men nnd Honesty," te pass without making
a reply. I will nlse suggest that the writer,
"(.'. O. M." rend Emersen's essay en com
pensation. It I unfortunate Indeed that a young man
should nttaln an nttltude of mind such as
"O. jr. (." hns. As an employer of men
I regret te state that I find that this Idea
Is very prevalent today, mere se than ever.
Te iiuote Emersen, "A man cannot spenk
but he Judges himself; with his will or
against hln will he draws his portrait te
the eye of his companions by every word."
Persons and events may Ftnnd for a time
between you and justice, but It Is only a
postponement. Yeu must pay at last sour
debt. I wish te contradict "C. O. M " In
tils statement that the harder a business
man hns te fight, due te competition, the
less nttentlen he pays te the rules. Shew
me the man or firm in u fierce competition
who breaks the rules of honesty te get busi
ness nnd I will eventually show you n fail
ure, nnd contrary te our statement, "C.
O. M ," your Ideas nre all theory. If you
are seeking success ou must change our
mental attltude If you want permanent suc
cess. At present you nre thinking of money.
Hut you will find money does net spell suc
icss unless seu ncqulre It honestly and
fairly. A man of no wealth, with a clean
mind nnd clear conscience. Is mere success
ful than n man with great wealth and a
stricken eonsclence. Such a. man is trying
te "kid" himself that he Is a succesi.
Think suciess, jeung man, and you will be
n success, Few men In this city have taken
mere bumps in the battle of life than the
writer, but I will make geed financially, and
I will get every dollar clean, tee. I have

Sir I knew that most ships In the i

Philadelphia, November 3rf. 1U20,
The reason there nre no peel and billiard
tables en beard ship Is that such tables
require nn absolutely motionless "base.
Whether a ship Is at sea or at a clock
there Is always mere or less motion, wnlch
wsjuld net permit of peel nnd billiards te
