TWO THINGS ESSENTIAL FOR sue

"Two things are essential i'm polit-
ical success. First, the man must be
prepared tor the emergency, and
second, the emergency must come.

SPECIAL MISSION TO YOUNG MEN.

men Of this generation. A quarter
OF century ago we emerged ii ON a
civil W +. 1t was as serious a con-
hict AS ever agitatod q nation great
in the issues involved, terrible in the
destruc ion caused and important i'm
its results. Our mountains and val
leys, our hillsides and plains were
with the blood of our bravest
3 ms; the cords of love that bound
warm friends to friends as warm
were severed by the sword. For
tour years throughout our land, in
their lonely homes, mothers and
wives and sisters wept for those who !
would return no more. But the roar |
OF the cannon ceased, the angry
clouds rolled away, and behold the |
elements of discord were taken away,
we We're again one people. Nature
soon forgot the wounds of war; sun
shine and rain covered the battle |
fields with flowers, and the birds |
sang and built their me- Is in the trees
once torn by shot and shell. But in
human hearts the memories of that
awful struggle still remained. Ii is
not strange that distrust upon the
one side AMI resentu ent upon the
other should linger Tor awhile with
those who passed through that great
epoch of our history. The young
men in lolitics today and those who
will hereafter enter if, are of post
oellum birth. They are the after
math. They are not responsible for
heir fathers faults, nor can they re-
y upon their fathers virtues. Young
