, F FLEETWOOD OWNER'S LITERATURE PENALTY OF LEADERSHIP N every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live I in the white light of publicity. ?Whether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy areever at work. TIn art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same. TThe reward is widespread recog- nition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man’s work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes atarget for the shafts of the envious few. ?If his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at the artist who produces a commonplace painting. VWhatsoeveryou write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive tosurpass, or to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius. TLong, longafter a great work or a good workhas beendone, those who are disappointed or envious continue to cry out thatit can not be done. ?Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. ?Multitudes flocked to Bayreuthto worship at the musical shrine of Wagner, whiIethe little group of those whom he had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all. TThe little world continued to protest that hlton could never build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he is a leader, and the effort to equalhim ismerely added proof of that leadership. qFailing to equalor to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate andto destroy - but only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives to supplant. TThere is nothing newin this. TIt is as old as the world and as old as the humanpassions - envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desireto surpass. TAnd it all avails nothing. TIf theleader truly leads, he remains - the leader. TMasteppoet, masteppainter, master workman, each in his turn is assailed,.and each holds his laurels through the ages. TThat which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live-lives. (Cad&= &tor Car Co. Detroit, Mich.)
