IDEALISTS
All those men and women who may be regarded as the salt of the earth are endowed with tho faculty of imagination, writes L.C. in a northern paper. Though they know full well that their thoughts and dreams cannot be realised for generations yet to come, yet their faith in the ultimate triumph ox noble ideals supports them. Their sane minds are not prevented from seeing clearly that the hour of victory has not yet struck, and they do their utmost to hasten its coming, without ever losing sight of, or touch with, the actual. Like good sailors, they may have to trim or even furl their sails in order to make for port. Without showing their disdain for those whose judgment is unworthy of their consideration, they pursue their course—determined at all costs to bring in the ship to its destination, ready, if need be, to give up their breath when their appointed task is over. Should success reward their skill, they will bear their triumph with the same dignity and modesty with which they would have met failure.
