Use Or Lose.
Mrs: Sallio A: Humes,
Almost a success is but to fail.
Almost able to grasp the situation
is to remain mediocre through
life. Great achievements require
great - patience and endurance,
built on a solid foundation. A
vigorous physique, a fine brain
and a sound heart make great
things possible, and are necessary
where great fatique and exposure
is required. But success lies with
in the reach of those who have a
less robust nature. People who
do hot possess unusual talent do
succeed by using ordinary intelli
gence,'and rise to places of respon
sibility by sheer force of applica
tion.
Having aspired to a special ca
reer, but failing to find the ne
cessary opening they have turned
to something within reach and
found a no less interesting work,
because they were willing to grasp
that which came within the limit
of their environment, rather than
remain useless members of socie
ty. Because a young man cannot
carry out the dream of his early
life, he is told by those who adopt
the “special work” idea that his
whole future must run over rif
fles, or shallows. Close applica
tion to the work in hand will
crowd out the early desire. for a
different occupation. As no two
plants can grow successfully in
one small pot, so no two great
enterprises can thrive in one
brain. The stronger will eventu
ally require the entire space,
Too little encouragement is giv
en to the ordinary vocations, yet
the men and women who keep the
domestic machinery moviug are.
those who perpetuate our institu
tions. They may not have a col
lege training, but they make each
a course possible for their chil
dren. The boy who asks unan
swered questions is sent to the
University where he may satisfy
his desire to know. The one who
seldom talks is not necessarily a
poor business man. He may use
few words but he never loses a
dollar, or fails to make one when
the opportunity offers. Alertness
is quite as essential as pertness,
and less liable to give offence.
Silence does not imply ignor
ance, but a shrude way of keeping
one’s secret of success from those
who might profit by it. People
with much “gab” are more likely
to hold mediocre places, than
those who weigh well what they
say. Not the number of talents,
but their right use is what is the
measure of every one’s success in
life.—Emporia, Kan.
Macon News.
The boasts of the United States
are being heard and feared by the
nations of the world, who see, in
this nation’s growing power,a me
nace to their rule or a limit.
“These powers that be” it is
rumored, are taking steps toward
combining their power against the
growth of our imperial-spirited
country. The object of the King
of Italy in visiting St. Peters
burg, recently, it is said, was to
make arrangements for a commer
cial alliance against us,hind there
are expressed suspicions* that the
Czar’s desire for an international
conference on trusts is inspired
by a similar purpose. Thus a
Washington dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Ledger says:
“The prevailing view here is
that the Czar’s proposal for an
anti-trust conference means noth
ing less than an attempt by Eu
rope to put a discriminating tar
iff on American mnufactures, es
pecially of farm machinery, a
most vulnerable point.
“The method of procedure ex
pected, if the Czars proposals are
carried out, is a hard and fast
agreement among the powers to
impose a tax on all trust-made
machinery, and then, by deoision
of the court, eliminate from the
working of this tax the manufac
tures of the respective countries
involved. At the same time it
will be held that all imports of
American machinery are trust-
made, thus efecting a discriminat
ing tax and excluding American
goods from European markets. It
is of this acoount more than any
other that the operations in Eu
rope now going on are watched
with iutense interes by economists
in America.
“It is further believed here that*
the present agitation may result
in a tariff on American machin
ery for the purpose of building
up industries in Russia, Germany
and France, which, although a
slow process, would finally result
in driving out American goods.
Had the European possessed the
ingenuity and facilities of the
American it is thought this would
have resulted long ago.”
Uncle Sam may have boasted
too loud, and the warning will
cause the proposed victims to be
on guard. Then the “expansion,”
the “invasions” and so on will
come to a sudden jarring stop 1

Tribute To Money.
Savaunah Press: Undoubtedly
the majority of the human race
pursue money and in some degree
love it. It is a universal neces
sity. Mortals have to eat, be
clad and sheltered. Rents have
to be paid and taxes also. Money
is desirable, not because it has
any intrinsic value of itsself, but
because, by law, it exchanges for
anything else in the material
universe. It brings power and in
fluence. It commands labor and
attracts friends. Even the church,
on the human side, depends upon
it. We once heard a clergyman
say that you could not get to
heaven without money—that is,
unless proper use were made of it.
It opens every door and confers
every favor except health and
happiness, which may be lost ’ in
its quest. Used nobly, it is an
honorable distiction and a true
gift of God, Abused and dese
crated, it is the fiercest weapon
in the devil’s arsenal.

The Public A Factor.
Augusta Herald.
Tbe public is an efficient factor
in the success or failure of everv
man, every enterprise, and often
this factor, not always taken into
account, is made evident at exact
ly the right time to save a situa
tion or disentangle a problem.
It is with the publio, it is be
lieved, that the solution of the
capital and labor question lies,
and such optimists as believe that
the industrial millennium is near
at hand aver that it will be
brought about, not by employers
or employed, but by the compar
atively disinterested third party,
that outside man, who if he did
not mind other peoples business
as he is so frequently advised not
to do, would see the world much
worse off for lack of his disinter
ested efforts.
Such a view is taken by a writ
er in the Minneapolis Times, who
says:
“When the strike or the lock
out comes and the balance is dis
turbed there is a third party that
is seldon taken into account by
either of the contestants. That
party is the public—an almost
equal sufferer with the principals
in the fight, but hepless. The
public is striviving in an umpiri-
oal way to bring about that still
greater intelligence which shall
render strikes and lockouts less
and less frequent as time passes
by, making arbitration the first
thought of each party when an
industrial dispute arises. With
the best thought of the world
preaching peace afid laboring for
conciliation, there will be pro
gress toward that happy time
when strikes and lockouts shall
be as obsolete as ‘^vager or battle’
is now.
Lord Kitchener says to to the
British people: “You may as?
sure yourselves that you have
nothing less than the making of a
new America in the southern hem
isphere.” that is in the South Af
rica. There are, indeed, great
possibilities in that country. But
let Great Britain look to it that
she does not produce another
George III, or there will certainly
arise in South Africa another
George Washington.
