CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Mr.. PREs1DENT.-The Joint Com
mittee appointed to examine the
matter OF canVassing tho vote on Con-
stitutional Convention respectfully
submits the following report:

Judges and Inspectors of Election at
the different polls Of the State to
count and make returns of the vote
cast for and against the Convention
or for returning the abstract thereof
to any State officers and that they
failed to authorize the State Canvass
ing Board or any State officers to can
vass such vote.
\ Upon examination of abstracts OF
votes cast in the several counties at
present in the Office of the Secretary
of State, We find as follows:

By success or failure in life It is not
meant that every person must reach
the maximum OF the one or the utter
hopelessness of the other. It is not to
be expected that every man is to be
Shakespeare, a Goethe. a Newton, a
Lincoln or an Edison, and if he is not
that his life must be set down as
failure. That man is a failure, how
ever, who at the close of the journey
finds himself worse of than he was at
the start; who has net advanced a
little at least hey ond the achievement Is
OF his father; who has failed to make
decent and comfortable living and
to leave something for those who are
dependent upon him.

THE price Of farm lands in most
sections OF the country is now so low
that they are better purchase than
city property, which has almost every
where been doomed far above its act
ual value. Many cities which are
growing rapidly are so heavily in debt
that their future is very doubtful.
When man buys farm property he
knows exactly what encumbrauces
are on it. for he places them himself.
There is very little township indebted
ness, and this is what is turning the
thoughts Of shrewd capitalists to pro-
perty in farms as the safest now Of
cred.

UNDOUBTEDLY the most prolific
cause of failure in life is excessive in
diligence in drink. Sometimes it Is
quick in its operations, sometimes
slow, but it always gets in its work,
sooner or later. Its worst effects come
from its use in business hours. The
man who INDUCES in liquor at that
time OF the day is absolutely certain
TO make his life failure and to wreck
his business, because he clouds his
brain and dulls his faculties just at
the time when his thinking apparatus
should be at its best and allows other
men to get ahead OF him. Alcohol is
the predominating cause OF failure in
high life and in low life.
