...peaceful body. Ever since one Senator beat up another with his cane, years ago--and before that, too--Vice-Presidents have had a task on their hands in keeping order. Probably this is inevitable. Where men are constantly engaged in fighting each other's ideas, some are sure to step over the bounds now and then and fight each other. And after all, the Senate cannot even compete with the tumultuous French Chamber. The Vice-President never has to put on his hat to quell disturbances, nor does the Senate have to adjourn for an hour to quiet down. Debate...

If the Senior is impressed with his responsibility, and if the Freshman brought to feel that his advisor takes a real interest and is glad to be of service...
...comparatively few men earn that amount. Suppose you sell shoe-strings, what is your world -- shoe-strings -- what do you know -- shoe-strings? On the other hand, in Foreign Trade work, your world is the World and its people. With your foundation properly laid you develop step by step until you are able to command $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, not because there is a demand for "shoe-strings" but because you have made yourself worth that amount...
