The South's Sure Prosperity IF anyone be dubious of the South’fc economic etanchness and her assurance ot full-flowing prosperity in the years ahead, let him dip. into the recent annual report of President Fairfax Harrison, of the Southern Railway system. The facts there tet toyth and the forecasts reasoned from them will kindle enthusiasm in the coldest 3 yg, ‘’From the days when Southern people struggled for a bare existence,” says Mr. Harrison, "they have evolved into an indus trial center which is being viewed by the world as an achievement.” Year by year for the last half century they have advanced from the position of mere producers of raw material to manufacturers of finished prod ucts, and A ll along this upward course their wealth-crehtipg, wealth-holding capacity has increased. Today they are in the full swing of that constructive tendency. What else, then, but prosperity is to be expected? Thirty years ago, Mr. Harrison points out, only five hundred and twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-five bales of cotton were consumed by Southern mills, “and that went into the manufacture of yarn and unbleached fabrics which were sent to other centers for completion.” Last year Southern mills consumed three million four hundred and ninety-ohe thousand bales, ‘which were turned into finished products ■vithout leaving Southern factories.” Never ;efore in the history of this fertile region /ere so many new industrial enterprises and .■•lustrial expansions in course of construc on. ‘‘Five hundred and eight new indus •ie6 were completed and put in operation ’ong the lines of the Southern Railway sys \m, and two hundred and ninety-four in ustries were enlarged during the year 1919 •id the first six months of 1920. Capital ) the amount of $2-25,816,000 was Invested i new industries and in the extension of Id enterprises in the territory served by the outhern Railway system during the three /pars from July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1920, md the estimated cost of plants under con duction on the latter date was $153,165,- •100.” Here we have the very heart and sinew of prosperity. Surface conditions may grow ruffled and clouded for a while; processes of readjustment may call a moment’s halt uyoa/the forward course;' over-nervous and ill informed onlookers may wax anxious. But deep beneath transient doubt and depres sion run the currents of an inexhaustible business rigor. As speaks President Harrl sxm, so speak the ablest observers in every field of Southern interest, whether of com merce or industry ot agriculture. In this wondrously blest region we hold an empire’s unfolding talents, and all will be well if we but pt*nd true to the great trust. The Flight to Alaska THE nine thousand-mile flight of four Army airplanes from New York to Alaska and back gives a striking dem on of the stanchness and agility of ths machines as well as the skill and hardi hood pt their pilots. , The long course led through many a blustering ocean of the air and above regions where landing was pecu liarly difficult and dangerous. It was in deed a triumph ot mechanical talent to pro duce craft at once delicate enough for flight and strong to withstand the strain and shock of so arduous an adventure. There was never a doubt that human daring would be equal to the demands of great aerial v.olages; but who, save the most imaginative, could have pictured, a generation ago, machines that would lend themselves so effectively to man’s sky-cleaving thoughts? These army ‘planes have shown that it is together feasible, as far as the aeronau tic side of the case is concerned, to send mail, passengers or commercial cargoes from the fitates to Alaska in some forty-eight hour? instead of the thirty days required by rail and steamer. Practical students point out, however, that the cost of air transpor tation would be so much the greater, at'least ip its initial stages, as to prevent its wide spread adoption. It should be noted, never theless, that the expense of establishing an air route is far less than that of building a rill line, with its large outlays for labor and Tiatenals. Eventually, moreover, the ship per or traveler might find the great time aving of the air route well worth a doubled -harge. Certainly as the volume of business ' etween Alaska and the States increases, ‘here will be many occasions where a gain of Jirfp wpe.ks or more in tAe transmission of mails and certain commodities will be of ilgh advantage. ' , Meanwhile the shorter air mail routes, •>uch as those between Washington and New York and between New York and Chicago, appear to be justifying themselves on the commercial as well as the aeronautic side. Plans are going steadily forward for the in auguration of daily air mail service between Atlanta and York early In the coming year, the Government contract therefor hav ing been awarded. These and kindred en terprises are watched with an interest no I'ass substantial than keen, for they are lift ing aeronautics from the realm of rare ad venture to that of daily service. All sort? of reasons have been assigned for the fact that men stay home more than they did a few years ago. Maybe they are just try ing to get their money’s worth out of rented hotues— Arkansas Gazette. THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. TheEditoidsDesk The Nation’s Newest Plaything America has found a new plaything—a mystifying, fascinating toy—the like of which the world has never known. It’s called the “Arithm-a-letta.” That’s a queer name. But it’s not half so odd and unique and ingenious as the device itself. * x • Readers of The T?i-Weekly. Journal will soon know all about tho Arithm-a-letta. And before long every home on the pa per’s subscription may have one of /the wonderful inventions. Did you ever have anything to do with a* Ouija board? Well the Arithm-a-letta is something on the order of a Ouija board, a fortune-telldr, a mind-reader, a prophet, a counsellor and half a dozen other things all rolled into one. . ‘ Whether it’s your business, your luck, your secret wishes, your hopes for wealth, your chance of marriage, or any other iphase of life you are particularly interest ed in, the Arithin-a-letta has messages for you. Some of the predictions it has made to people all over the country have been nothing short of marvelous. That’s why everybody’s talking about this twentieth century wonder. That’s why everybody who has heard about it’s extraordinary nature, wants one of the devices. x By an exclusive The Tri- Weekly Journal will publish the Arithm-a letta. It will appear in the columns of this paper "with complete, simple directions on how to use it, in the issue of Tuesday, November 9. In the meantime, watch for more news about the proposition. Nobody in the fam ily ought to miss it. Another New Feature What do you know about flurniture? When you read about a Jacobean chair or hear somebody' mention a Louis XVI bed or see a picture of an American Em pire table, do you know how they got their names? When you buy furniture you generally mean that you’re going to live with it. It’s going to be a part of the home-life for a long time. Yet lots of furniture is bought “sight-unseen,” almost. In a series of brief, interesting, illus trated sketches, The Tri-Weekly Journal is going to publish a multitude of valuable facts on furniture. If you’re planning any additions to your household goads right now, the articles will be a source of wel come information. In any case, they will supply a fund of useful knowledge. ’ A The first article of the series appears on Page 5 of this issue. ** • For the Good of America, and For the Sake of the South DURING this last week of the Presiden tial campaign, when history of vast moment to the American people and to the world is being made, Georgia Demo crats should brim over their contributions to the Cox-Roosevelt fund. “Things are coming our way,” writes Mr. Wilburn W. March, the campaign treasurer, "and we must not relax in the slightest; we must make the supreme effort now.” There can be no doubt that the tide of thoughtful public opinion runs strongly for the Democratic cause. Senator Harding s reactionary attitude on the great issues of the day and the long discredited character of the political clique to which he is be holden, have turned multitudes of Independ ents and large-minded Republicans to sup port df Governor Cox. Regardless of party lines, the majority of men and women who believe in the principles for which we en tered the World war and who are practi cally devoted to the maintenance of a just peace, realize that Democracy offers them at this juncture the only means of turning their convictions to account. Assuredly, then, if the nation’s destinies are to be shaped by its best thought and its highest con science, the election of Cox and Roosevelt is foregone. No part of the country has deeper rea son than the South to rejoice in this prom ise and to work without ceasing that it may come fully to pass. The best interests as well as the best traditions of Georgia Jmd her neighbor States are all bound up with the Democratic faith. For the entire nation a Republican victory would be un fortunate, but for the South it would be incalculably so. The forees behind Senator Harding’? candidacy are proverbially grudge ful of Southern rights and, in some in stances, actually hostile to Southern .wel fare. As a matter of expediency as well as principle,/therefore, it behooves the people of this region to joip with their friends of the East and Nofth and West in a supreme effort for a national Democratic victory. Every Georgian who has not yet contrib uted to the CoX-Roosevelt fund as liberally as he can should do so without delay. It will be a patriotic 'investment for America and for the South. Where Adventure Beckons WHAT will American youths of today and tomorrow do for adventure, nqw that the country’s vast plains have been compassed and her mountain wilder nesses so largely explored? No fighting Red skins left to fight, no prairie schooners witX unsmoked horizons stretching interminably before them, no mysterious rivers flowing,* for aught one knows, from the very bosom of El Dorado. * Yet, the lad of today looks out upon a world that is truly more adventureful than that of his pioneering grandsires. Take the prospects so invitingly offered by the new American merchant marine. “These ships,” says the San Antonio Light, “are calling for sailor boys from every State of the Union—not only fas able seamen, but as navigators and officers. They have an oppor tunity to sail to faraway lands, to plant American commerce w’here it . has never been before, to amass a wealth of expe rience amd of money also, in helping to make the American marine a success.” ' But advancement in this pio-dern field calls for more mind-equipment and, in some respects, for more character-sinew than in the rough-and-tumble ventures of the past. It. calls’for schooling and steadiness of pur pose, for study of the languages and cus toms of the countries whose markets Amer ican enterprise seeks to win, for patience and resourcefulness, for integrity and zest. With these qualities the American youth of to day has richer opportunities in his coun try’s merchant marine than those who sailed with the famous clippers of a hunr dred years ago, or those who followed Raleigh himself on strange seas, to virgin continents. . DISEASE AND EFFICIENCY By H. Addington Bruce IT is axiomatic that the healthier a man is the better he is able to do his work. But it by no means follows -that poor health is an absolute destroyer of efficiency. Men may be highly efficient despite the pres ence of outright and serious disease. Recall the notable career of Charles Darwin, for forty years afflicted with such an impair ment of health that he could work but a short time daily. Yet so ably did he use his brief working periods as to win for himself a lasting fame and give an entirely new direction to the current of scientific thought. Kant, justly rated as among the world’ great est philosophers, was another victim of semi invalidism. The elder Pitt is only one of a long line of celebrities who worked to exceedingly good purpose despite the torments of gout. The foundations of the modern treatment of tuberculosis were largely laid by the famous Trudeau after he himself had been stricken by that dread disease. Robert Louis Stevenson, likewise tuberculous, splendidly enriched our literature, working bravely until the endrin faraway Samoa. More recently George Edward Barton, an other sufferer from tuberculosis, instead of supinely yielding to disease, became a pioneer in the development of scientific occupational therapy. And everybody knows what Helen Keller has acomplished, in the face of almost incredible 'physical limitations. These are only a few of the efficient sick whose names recur to my mind as I write. Numerously the list might be extended to give emphasis to the comment of one observant physician: “The extent to which a man is disabled de pends partly on the nature of his disease, but perhaps more,on»the way he reacts to it.” Which, I need hardly add, should be taken much to heart by any-man or woman afflicted wtih some disease that seemingly makes future achievement out of the question. The disease, to be sure, may be of such a character that achievement in one’s former occupation is indeed out of tjie question. Or it may impose a pitiful shortening of active ef fort during the waking hours. But almost always some useful occupation may be found. Almost always means may be devised to engage in that occupation with ap preciable efficiency. The result will be advantageous in more ways than one, provided the invalid or semi-invalid refrains from overdoing. There may even be a distinct curative effect, thanks to the energizing influence which the pleasure of achievement ex ercises. In any>jevent, disease will no longer be the unmitigated misery it is bound to be when its victim is \oppressed with an erroneous feeling of absolute incompetency and inefficiency. And some prolongation of life may be hopefully looked for as illustrated’ by the experiences of every one of the efficient sick named above. (Copyright, 1920, by the Associated Newspapers.) -> SECOND OPEN LETTER TO MR. HARDING AND MR. COX By Dr. Frank Crane In tfie name of the American people I ad dressed a letter to you, urging whichever one of you happens to be elected to form a coali tion government. / * That is to say, to call in members of the opposing political party to take places in your cabinet. This would involve also consulting frequently with leaders of the opposite party in the sen ate and house, so that the executive and legis lative branches of the government might work in harmony. This letter is written to amplify, reinforce and emphasize the last. You must realize that most of the ills this country come from partisanship, from class spirit and the blind love of fighting. It was this that got us into the tangle about the League of Nations. It is ’ this, saipe spirit that causes all the trouble in our industrial relations. Capital and labor, instead of working together, work against each other. \ If you could set the example of conciliation, concession and compromise in your high office the benefits of it would flow into every depart ment of activity in the country. It would lessen the sectarian animosity of the churches. It would heal our widening breach with our recent allies in the war. It would quicken and increase production in industry by bringing head workers and hand workers into co-operation. The whole country now is suffering from the residuary poisons of war. Every step we try to take to get out of the pit is hampered by colossal organized envies and hates. i Is it not time to stop all this? You know that the administration of Presi dent Monroe was called “the era off good feel ing.” At that time for a space the bitter antag onisms of the young republic abated and foun dations ere laid for permanent progress. Is it not time for another era of good feeling? Can any one estimate the vast advantage it would be to America and to the world? And is there any other way for such an era to be ushered in than by recognition that your political opponents, although viewing thtings from a different traditional angle than yourself, are as sincere and honest Americans as you are? , , We say nothing concerning the present con flict. The American people will determine that in their sovereign freedom. They are going tq select one of you to be president. But remember, that no matter which one of you is dectecT, he will receive many votes from the qpposite party, and he is to be presi dent of United States and not leader of a po litical party. It will be a hard and unpleasant (thing to resist the claims of the hungry parti sans who have championed your cause. They will demand the humiliation of their opponents. But can you afford to listen to them? We are in the midst of great peril, indus trial and political. The waves are high and the storm is threatening. All we ask of you is, whichever one of you is chosen captain of the. ship, to pipe “All hands on deck! ’ In other words, a coalition government. (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.)

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS By FREDERIC J. HASKIN XVII. THE HARRISON CLEVELAND RACE OF 1888 TT 7-\SHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 4- Grover Cleveland was elected y V president the fjrst time be cause of his views on the tariff question. Because he was too insistent upon the expression of the same views he was defeated for re election in 1888. Mr. Cleveland was the only president who ever devoted an entire annual .message to congress to the discussion of one subject. The fiftieth congress was the second of Mr. Cleveland’s first term, and the Democratic majority in the house had been re-elected, while the Repub lican rpajority in the senate had been diminished. The president believed that the re sult of the 1886 elections meant that the peqple wished him to carry out his ideas on the tariff. Therefore he devoted his entire annual mes sage to the tariff, .discussing noth ing else and placing the tariff ques tion in a position of paramount im portance never before occupied by any issue in the legislative history of thei country. That message was prepared and sent against the ad vice of the leaders of the party. It did not meet with the reception hoped for, and the ‘tide turned against the Democrats. But even with that complication in the way, Cleveland would have been re-elected but for the treachery of Tammany Hall. The Republican candidate was Benjamin Harrison, > of Indiana, grandspn of William Henry Harri son, “Old Tippecanoe,”. and great grandson of a Virginia signer of the Declaration of Independence, a direct descendant of Pocahontas, and con nected with all of the prominent old families of colonial days. He was the first successful candidate for president since Zachary Taylor, who might claim to be of “aristocratic” lineage. Memories of the famous “Tippe canoe” campaign were revived by ardent republicans, while facetious Democrats poked fun at the candi date. They were pleased to call him the midget grandson in the giant grandfather’s hat. .Every cartoonist accepted the “grandfather’s hat” as the badge of Harrison’s candidacy. As a result, the campaign of 1888 became a campaign of hats; A Campaign of Hats The Republican marching clubs and “rooters” affected big hats' of the beehive variety such as Were worn by Grandfather “Tippecanoe” Harrison in the campaign of 1840. The Democrats adopted the white felt “topper*’ which was a favorite with Mr. Cleveland. All ®ver the country rural Democrats Who would have fainted at the notion of a black silk top-hat, bought the white “Cleveland hats” and *wore them summer and winter, day and night. The Democratic candidate for vice president was Allen G- Thurman, of Ohio, whom men loved to call the “Old Roman.” Senator Thurman’s inseparable compainon was a red bandanna handkerchief. So to the white top-hat, every loyal Democrat added the equipment of a red ban dana. Then he was ready to hike and hurrah and harangue for Cleve land and Thurman., The campaign or 1888 was a vast improvement over the scandal-mon gering contest of four years before. Mr. Cleveland had gained the respect « country by his administration of affairs, whether he had its ap proval qr not. Mr. Harrison had both the respect: and confidence of the country. The campaign was con ducted with great dignity. The ri valry between the parties was sharp, there were fnany doubtful states and in none of them was victory for either side overwhelming. It was, however, a battle of parties and not of candidates. The tariff issue was a real issue. Neither of- the candi dates appealed to the enthusiasm of the masses of their followers. There wasn no great popular outburst for either one. It was the coldest of the close presidential contests. The First Porch Campaign Benjamin Harrison was one of the ablest of the men who have occupied the White House. His state papers are nt to rank with the best in the archives of the republic, not except ing those penned by Washington. Jefferson or John Quincy Adams. His administration was far from tran quil, yet its sharpest conflicts arose from the fact that Harrison, in the interest of the whole people, op posed the scheme of certain of hiss party leaders, advocates of the inter est of a very few. Better campaign speeches have never been made than those which Benjamin Harrison delivered at his home in Indianapolis, originating the “front porch” campaign system. Oth er candidates had spoken from their verandas, but Harrison was the first who did it systematically and to whose home special trains brought thousands of excursionists every week. That these excursions were pften made up with free passes and paid delegations, for the effect the reports of the tremendous outpouring would have on distant states, is un doubtedly true, but politics, was be coming advanced in that day. Harrison won his nomination in the Republican convention was the choice of those elements opposed to the nomination of John Sherman, of Ohio. Sherman went into the con vention with more than twlcejasmany vot.es as his next highest competitor, Waltei 1 Q. Gresham, of Indiana. Third in the race was Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, fourth was General Russell A. Alger, of Mich igan; fifth was Benjamin Harrison; sixth was William B. Allison, of lowa, and then a dozen other smaller ones, each of whom- hoped to be the successful “dark horse.” James G. Blaine, “the Henry Clay of the Re publican party” wanted the nomina tion. But he had written, letters say ing he wouldn’t take it, and al though he wavered and wabbled in his messages to his friends, he final ly cabled from Europe that he was not in the race. His state voted for him to the last, notwithstanding his withdrawal. Quay’s Methods Cleveland and Thurman were nom inated without any serious opposi tion. Tammany Hall still hated Cleveland, but there was no open op position in the Convention which nominated him by acclamation. He still had the enmity of the New York Sun, the quarrel with Mr. Dana remaining unsettled. Mr. Watterson, the leading Democratic editor in the country, was not en rapport with the administration. The party believed that Cleveland was the strongest man to nominate, yet there was no enthusiasm for him. Thurman, the second man on the ticket, excited more popular interest than did Cleve land. Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, was then at the apex of his glory as a practitioner of national politics. In the campaign. he made a great effort to cut the heart out of the “solid South.” The border stotes of the old southern Democratic stronghold have been carried often by abrasion, but since 1880 the heart of the south has been untouched. Quay attempted by the liberal use of money and the cor ruption of election officers to carry North Carolina, Florida and Tennes see. The Republicans polled unus ually large votes in those states in that year, and there are many “wise guy” politicians, in the south who will tell you to this day that the states would have been counted for Harrison if Harrison had needed them do win. But Harrison didn’t need them, for he captured the pivotal and decisive slate of New York by a plurality of over 14,000. That gave him the elec tion, thanks to Tammany Hall. Da vid Bennet Hill was the Democratic candidate for governor on the same ticket with the Cleveland • electors. Hill was elected by nearly 20,000 majority. The treachery was palpa ble, and it had the effect of.enrag ing the Democratic hosts of other parts of the country. Four years la ter the Tammany Hal protest against Cleveland and the Hill snap boom for President were treated with scant courtesy. Although Harrison was elected, Cleveland obtained a clear popular majority of 100.000. much more than he had received four years before. As usual, whenever there’s a “minor ity” president. there was a great out cry against the electoral system, and us usual it amounted to nothing. , THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1020. Around the World Tri-Weekly News Flashes From All Over the Earth COX GUTS ROOSTER A large white rooster was pre sented to Gov. James M. Cox by admirers after his speech at Trenton, N.

A great many other mothers are going to make this same excuse when they stand before the judg ment bar, and are called uPfin to render an account of their steward ship of their children, and why, out >of the fine material that was put into their hands, they turned ' nut men and women who were thieyes, and gluttons, and parasites ana loaf- The mothers will say that they sinned through love, that their tenderness was so great that it made them weak, that they could not bear to make their children do any thing they did not want to do, or deny them anything that they want ed tq do, and so they fostered every good impulse in their offspring, and let them plunge unchecked down the road to ruin. This is a most familiar type of mother to us all. A. doctor was tell ing me about such a one the other day. He said that she had a desper ately sick child whose life depend-* ed upon its conforming absolutely to ..the treatment he- was giving it, but the child refused to take the medicine because it was bitter. It fretted and cried continually be cause it had to be kept in a certain position and the mother let it move at will. “But I can’t make Johnnie do anything he doesn’t want- to do,” sgid the mother. “I’ve always loved him so I couldn’t bear to cross him.” “Then,” said the doctor, “you have killed him, because I can do no.thlng for hinj. His life depends upon his obedience, and you have never taught him to obey.” And the child died. A young girl of my acquaintance married a splendid young man, a young man full of talent and ambi tion, anj one who is going far in the world. But the girl had never been taught self-control, or to think of anyone except herself, and her mad extravagance, her love of gay iety, her craving for the admiration of other men, soon wrecked the marriage, and brought her into the divorce court. “I know, Mary is to blame,” ad mitted her mother, “but she is my only child, and I have loved her ?o, that I have let her do exactly as she wanted to all her life, and she’s never even thought of denying her self anything she wanted.” And the curious thing about these mothers is that they account it un to themselv.es for righteousness that they love their children so much that they do not correct their faults, or teach them any self-con trol, instead of realizing that they are the greatest sinners on earth, and are accessory to nine-tenths of the • crimes and misery in the world. v i .

OF COURSE, A man is not vain, And yet— He never appears in eve ning clothes without feeling, some how, conscious that the eyes of the whole world are focused on him. He never doubts, when he puts, his cheek against a girl’s, that it feels as soft and smooth as HERS does. He never sees two women across the room whispering together, with out wondering what they are saying about him. He never ' appears in a bathing suit without unconsciously assuming what he supposes to be a character istic attitude of one of the old Greek athletes. (He never even blushes When he appears in a bathing suit!) He never thinks it worth while to deny himself a jtotato or a slice of I cream pie for the sake of his beau- I ty; nor ever dreams that a double* chin and 4 few pounds avoirdupois could mar his fatal fascination. He,never passes a chewing gum machine, without depositing a penny in the slot, for the privilege of glanc ing in the mirror and straighten ing his tie. - (Though he usually pre tends that he’s looking for a cinder in his eye.) He never gets married without feel ing secretly sorry for all the girls he thinks are disappointed, or heart broken at losing him. He never buys a pair of shoes with out trying on every other pair in the shop. He never doubts that it is sheer prudishnesfc (or perhaps artful de sign) that makes a girl refuse to kiss him. In his childlike simplici ty, he never can think of any other reason why she shouldn’t WANT to kiss him. He never doubts that every blessed ! woman he meets, is going to try to! lure him into matrimony—or out of it. He never denies any of these things. That would be VAIN! And he is NOT vain—bless his For into the mother’s hands given the plastic souls of her dren. She it is who forms and 1 ions them, and turns them into kind of men or women \Pho bio* curse the world. There is no woman so dull she does not know this, and tha fore a child is ten years old mother had practically settled fate, and, knowing this, how mother can love her child enough not to at least- try toj guard its future, is something passes all comprehension. A woman knows, for instance, temper probably wrecks more than any other one cause. It if bridled temper that makes men in anger. It is uncontrolled te that makes thousands upon t sands of men and women of at failures. They cannot get along their fellow workmen, or they offense and chuck up their job the very moment of success, terfiper that wrecks homes, and s discordant men and women to divorce court. Yet instead of conquering children’s tempers, and , teac them self-contr.ol, the* great maj of mothers humor them in their trums. They haven’t the nerv stand behind the child and for< to fight its particular devil and the best of it. And if a child is indolent lazy, mother loyes it too wel hold an iron hand on it, and it ;to work until it forms the breakable habit of industry, mother knows where loafers About her she can see the s< shabby men and 4’omen who born tdo tired to work, and who drifted through the world spon a living on others. She know what contempt tjiey are held, yet she lets the maudlin em< she calls “mother love” doom own child to that fate. “I had to work when I wj child, so I determined my chii should never have, anything t< but play.” “I have' very few ii gences when I was a child, made up my mind that my chil should liave everything they w “I was made to obey when I w child, so I have never subjecte< children to any discipline.” These are things that you women continually say, and you der that they have not intellig enough to see that everything are, they were made by the training they got in their youtl For we (develop strength of < acter that makes us strong, weakly succumbing to every ten tion.
