Task Well Done Is That Done
With Enthusiasm and a Will
Says Business Expert
BY B. C. FORBES.
Are you good friends with your
work?
* * *
Since we spend most of our wak
ing hours at our daily tasks, is it not
very important that we should be
happy in the doing of them? The
man or woman who has no heart for
his or her employment cannot real
ize the full joy of living.
* * V
There is only one thing worse than
having disagreeable work, and that
is having no work at all. The per
son who has no work can have no
recreation, no relaxation. The vil
lage blacksmith is more to be en
vied than the idler who may have
millions. The squire who walked to
get a stomach for his meat was less
happy than the sturdy son of the
soil who rejoined: “And I walk to
get meat for my stomach.”
* * *
The man who brings a right atti
tude to his job is rich all day long,
for, as a sage remarked, “Money
never made any man rich, but his
mind.”
* * *
Some people spend more energy
in grumbling than in trying to get
on.
* * •
To be done well, a task must be
done with a will, with relish, with
enthusiasm. The best workers are
those whose hearts are in their
work. Those who are wisely ambi
tious seldom grumble. A motto
which has been framed and hung on
many walls reads’ “All things come
to those who hustle while they
wait.” The malcontent usually waits
without hustling. He wants the moon
without having to soar to get it. He
sits with folded hands instead of
speeding forrh with busy feet and
nimble fingers.
* * *
Contentment can be cultivated.
And it's -a plant worth cultivating.
It can at least be said of Christian
Science that it has turned many sour
people sweet. The harder a man's
toil the greater his need for bringing
cheerfulness to it—the merry heart
goes all the day.
* * *
Employers will promote a cheerful
worker sooner than a discontented
one. The foreman who believes in
his work, who takes pride in it, who
goes at it wholeheartedly infuses
something of his own spirit into
those serving under him. Why
should a servant who is constantly
complaining, who is eternally railing
Against his bos&, who finds his em
ployment a bore, be placed in com
mand of other servants? His ex
ample would bring on a strike rather
than promote success.
* * *
Of course, many jobs are near
relatives of drudgery. It is hard to
sing at them. But, if nothing else
can be reached, what's the use of
making the worst of it? Why nob
make the best of it? “What cannot
be cured must be endured.” Most
men toil and slave not solely for
their own sakes; they sow that
others—wife, mother, family—may
reap. When tackled in this spirit,
when performed from unselfish mo
tives, few tasks cannot be made at
least tolerable. No man liveth to
himself—unless he be a fool, for to
■try it invites inward failure even
though it may bring outward "suc-
#ess.”
* * *
Some of these platitudes are
irompted by an incident that oc
curred on the Brooklyn Bridge ele
vated platform in the early hours of
Saturday morning, when newspaper
men were waiting for their trains
On this platform is a veteran whose
duty it is to hoist the proper signals,
call out the destination of trains and
answer the . countless questions of
passengers. Of late there has been
a second man on the platform. He
does not yet know what the public
have a right to expect of him. On
this particular m rning he was
guilty of such ir.J v<lity that the
veteran began to give him some
homely sound advice. Instead of ac
cepting it in aood part, he replied
jauntily that there were plenty of
jobs in New York.
* * •
“Don’t throw away dirty water
until you get clean,” chided the vet
eran. “There are ten thousand peo
ple in New York this night looking
for work—I see some of them hang-
round a gate I pass every morning.”
* * *
The trouble with the uncivil plat
form man, it struck me, was that he
brought a wrong attitude, a wrong
state of mind to his work. The
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
pays him to give its patrons civil
answers, but apparently he felt too
big for his job. And he sought to
vent his spleen upon the company’s
customers.
Be a little more patient, a little
more cheerful, my friend. You will
get farther and the way will be a|l
the smoother for yourself and for
others.

Charles Dougherty’s Mother Seeks
$25,000 for Loss of Son, Charg
ing Negligence.
Asserting that her son, Charles
Dougherty, a fireman, was killed be
cause of the negligence of the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company in
not having one of its wires properly
insulated. Mrs. M. Dougherty has
filed suit in Fulton Superior Court
against the corporation for $25,000
damages.
Dougherty was the hero of a fire
at 362 Washington Street on March 7.
in which he lost his life. He had
gone into the attic carrying v line
of hose, and in the smoke and flames
lost his footing and stumbled. He
thrust out a hand to save himself
and touched a live wire, which sent
3.000 volts of electricity through his
body, killing him instantly. Before
his deatli Dougherty had done work
that resulted in the saving lives, and
afterward a large sum of money was
raised by the people of Atlanta for
his family.
In her suit. Dougherty’s mother as
serts that her son would not have
been killed had the wires been prop
erly insulated, and that the Georgia
Railway and Power Company was
criminally negligent in allowing the
insulation to wear off without repair
ing it.

Germany Wants Trade
Pact Under New Tariff.
BERLIN, April 16. -An invitation
to the United States to join Germany
in a trade agreement in 1916. when
the German agreements expire, was
extended by George Gothein, the Un
derwood of the Reichstag, in speaking
to a, correspondent to-day.
“The influence of the American tar
iff reduction on Germany will be
largely moral,” he said, “and will as
sist tiie general movement for tariff
reduction. German Liberals regard
the effort in America as an answer to
the popular demand for cheaper living
rather than as a policy to increase
prosperity through export trade. If
America wishes to widen its market
for manufactures, the best mean.-' to
that end will be a trade agreement
with Germany. Our agreements ex
pire in 3516. which gives America a
splendid opportunity to foliovv tariff
reduction with a constructive econom
ic policy.”
The correspondent found among the
Liberals a tendency toward skepticism
regarding a successful reduction of
the tariff in America. One of the
leading spokesmen of the Progressive
party said:
"We hope President Wilson will win
his fight, but we realize the immense
opposition from the interests which he
must overcome. If he does succeed
th** influence in Europe will undoubt
edly be for a lower tariff.”
Germany stands third among the
countries buying American exports
following England,and Canada. Th<
imports from the United State-* to this
country for eleven months of the cal
endar year 1912 amounted in value to
$289,000,000. or an increase of $63,000.

White Slave Probers Recommend
System to Shield Victims and
Punish Guilty Men.
CHICAGO, April 16.—The Illinois
Senate white slave committee will
recommend a bill to the State Legis
lature for the establishment of a spe
cial court of five women to sit in con
fidential session to hear the stories of
wronged girls. This was announced
to-day by Lieutenant Governor
O’Hara, chairman of the committee.
The court will be supplied with a
card index of men who have been
responsible for the downfall of girls.
This index is now being compiled
from information already in the
hand$ of the committee.
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara said:
The stories and the girls’ names will
not be made public, but the men who
are guilty will be turned over to the
authorities and prosecuted. Fear of
publicity on the part of the girl has
saved many bad men.

The school Superintendent denied
any misconduct with his maid, and
also that he was responsible for the
girl’s condition, which necessitated ner
being removed to a hospital.
Miss Fisher to-day resumed her

$200,000 NAVAL STORES
COMPANY IS ORGANIZED
PENSACOLA, FLA., April 16.—It

stock of $200,000, had been organized
here to succeed the Jones-Dusenbury
Company. The new company takes
over the assets of the old concern and
begins business to-day.
It is s'aid that the organization of
the new company was brought about
because Pensacola’s prestige as a na
val stores center was threatened by
the recent upheaval In the naval
stores business. The new company
w ill maintain offices at Pensacola, At
more, Ala.. New Orleans, Chicago and

GIRLS’ WAGE BILL PASSES
IN PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE
HARRISBURG, PA.. April 16—The
House has passed the Bigger
minimum wage bill, providing for
a commisj-non of three to fix a mini
mum wage for w oman and girl work
ers and all minor workers In the
State. All occupations are included
even that of the “hired girl” in pri
vate residences.
The bill w r as sent to the Senate.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The income of the State of Georgia
to-day is approximately $6,500,000.
And although that is more than
double what it was fifteen years ago,
It still Is barely sufficient to wee the
State through its necessities, and fur
ther elevation of the tax rate is a it
of the question.
What the State needs, in the opin
ion of many observant men. is
a board of tax equalizers—a board
that will make the dodgers pay their
just share of the expense of running
the State.
It is agreed that nobody pays to >
much tax—that is to say. nobody pays
more than his Just share. On the
other hand. It is figured that prac ti
cally everybody and everything that
pays as much as $100 pays less than
his or its just share.
If the State had a board of tax
equalizers, it is thought that its
income might easily be jumped to
$8,000,000 and more, and its tax rate
lowered, in addition to that.
Nothing really helpful has been
done by the Legislature in years to
remedy the annual embarrassment of
the State treasury. The Governor,
by constitutional amendment. na.i
been authorized to borrow in certain
emergencies as much as $500,000, in
stead of $200,000 as heretofore*, but
that helps none in the long run. be
cause the money has to be paid
back—Peter merely is robbed to pay
Paul.
Also certain corporations have been
required to pay their taxes in the fu
ture at an earlier date in the fa I,
but that helps little, too, as those re
turns will not be nearly sufficient
to relieve the situation.
The thing authorities are agreed
upon is the necessity of a board of
equalizers, whereby the total of taxes
collected may be increased and
still render an increase in
the rate unnecessary. In other
w’ords, it is argued that there will
be no embarrassment in the State
treasury, if the State only is enabled
to get what is justly and truly its duo
from the tax payers.
The Augusta Chronicle has been
moved to speculate whether Gover
nor Slaton will send his first mes
sage to the Legislature in the usual
way or follow the Wilson lead and de
liver it in person before a joint ses
sion.
The chances are he will send it in
the usual way. He has been speaker
of one house of the Georgia Legis
lature and President of the other, and
he probably would not risk being
“sassed back” in a joint session for
anything in this world.
Colonel .Tames Hamilton Lewis,
formerly of Georgia, now Senator-
elect from Illinois, was the last Sena
tor of the United States to be elect
ed by a State Legislature.
Hereafter, all Senators will be
named by the people of the various
States in direct election.
Three Georgians who went to Tex^fc
many years ago now' figure most
prominently in the politics of that
enormous State, according to Benno
Kayton, a former Savannahan, now
a resident of San Antonio, who has
come back to Georgia for a short
visit after an absence of twenty-
three year®.
The three Georgians referred to
are R. M. Johnson, editor of the
Houston Post and ad interim Senator,
Governor Colquitt, and Clarence Ous-
ley, editor of the Fort Worth Record.
"Senator Johnson,” said Mr. Kay
ton. "was born and reared in Brooks
County. He began his career there
as a printer’s devil. He is now re
garded as one of the strong men of
the West. Clarence Ousley was born
at Ousley station. Lowndes County,
near Valdosta. As editor of the Fort
Worth Record he exerts a great deal
of influence in the State. Governor
Colquitt was born and reared in
Thomas County. He went to Texas
about the time I did. He made his
mark rapidly.’’
It seems pretty well settled that
William J. Harris. Chairman of tlie
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee. will resign that honorable posi
tion when he goes to Washington
to accept the office of Director of
the Census.
In the latter office. Mr. Harris wiii
have to reside In the National Capital
and could not visit his home State
at will to look after the business of
the committee as he would like to,
and as it might require.
In the event of Chairman Harris'
resignation, ho would be succeeded
by Hon. W. S. West, former Presi
dent of the State Senate, who is now
vice chairman of the committee.
In Oglethorpe County this month
there was not one sheriff .sale, and
the Echo, the county organ, in con
sequence carried no legal advertis-
ments whatever.
The Echo consoles itself for the
loss of revenue with the pleasing
thought that the absence of sheriff's
sales indicates general prosperity
throughout the county.
The politicians of Northwest Geor
gia already have organized the ne.v
Chickaonauga judicial circuit, and
Solicitor General Sam P. Maddox is
being boomed for judge.
All that is needed now is for the
Legislature to get busy and ratify
the motion.
Griffin expects to see a movement
inaugurated in the next Legislature
looking to the removal of the Ex
periment Station to Athens.
The general impression among
those who keep close tab on things
political in Georgia, however, is t4i.it
no such fight will be made—at least,
not before the incoming Legislature.
