Shall you complain who

‘Who clothe the world?
‘Who house the world?
Shall you complain who are the world,
Of what the world may do?
As from this hour
You use your power,
The world must follow you.
The world’s life hangs on your right
hanfi,
Your strong right hand,
Your skilled right hand;
You hold the world in your right hand
See to it what you do!
Or dark or light,
Or wrong or right,
The world is made for you.
Then rise as you never rose before,
Nor hoped before,
Nor dared before,
And show as never was shown before,
The power that lies in you!
Stand all as one
Till right is done!
Believe and dare and do!

BRITAIN ADOPTS
AMERICAN EFFICIENCY
In an address before the Jobbers’
Association of Dress Fabric Buyers,
recently, James Keeley, owner and
editor-in-chief of the Chicago Herald,
(Dem.) ig quoted as saying: “In Eng-
land capitol and labor have both learn-
ed the lesson that they must work for
the benefit of the State,
American efficiency methods now
rule.” And yet it was only a few days
ago that Secretary Redfield berated
American manufactures as the “wast-
ers of the world,” and scored them
severely for their inefficiency. Evi-
dently England does not take the same
view of our factory operators.
