The Penohy of LeodershiP

In every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of puhlicity. Whether the leader' ship be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work.

In art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same.

The reward i, *id"-rpl"ud ***Ur""; the punishmento fierce denial and detraction. When a man's work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few. If his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely alone-if he achieves a masterpiece, it will set a rnillion tongues a-wagging.

Jealousy does not nro,lua""ro ,".U"a tongue at the artist who producesacommonplace*paintin8. .,T

'Whatsoever you write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.

BY JACK DIONNE I

Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done, those ilho a"re disappiinted or envious continue to cry out that it cannot be done.

Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised agains! our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worshif at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the littie group of those whom he had detJrroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all.

The little *orld "ot tiiu.u -,t nlo*rl tnut tr"lto,, could never build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam bY. * * *

The leader is assailed because he is a leader, and the effort to equal him is merely TU.U*O-o*t of that leadership'

Failing to equal or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to i"rtroy--b,rt only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives ,o iuPPftr. * *

There is nothing new in this.
