been doing their best to help along
the advent Of good times, SO heartily
desired by all. They have exagger-
ated the slightest evidences Of re-
vival Of business, and they have
studiously and laborously suppressed
all evidence of the fact that times
were not improving, but were actually
growing worse. We were told the
other day by Elk. Congressman Towne,
of Duluth. that the News Associations
did not publish to the world one tenth
Of the business failures; and in every
other way have sought to blind and
deceive the people, by putting the
best face upon everything; and yet in
spite Of it all the failures, the sui
cldes and the crimes are steadily in
creasing. When the hot weather
comes and the people. who have been
huddled and hungry in the garrets,
cellars and soup-houses, are able to
come out into the open air and con-
gregate in masses. we should not be
surprised to see more or less evidence
Of turbulence. The condition of
things is absolutely deplorabl;, and it
is enough to drive even patient men
beyond the limits Of long suffer
ing.
OF course any exhibition of violence
will simply tend to make existing
conditions worse. We have no fear
of general armed revolution, but we
may anticipate local and sporadic tur-
bulence.
1t is time when every man should
be patient, but they should study the
great questions and be prepared to
vote understandingly when the time
comes to express their opinions at the
ballot box.

BLACKSBURG, VA. January l6-(Spe-

week was very timely. The rainfall
during the fall and winter thus far has
been very slight-not. / suppose. one
fourth OF the usual amount. Naturally,
fears were excited that the water-sup-
ply might fail. The trouble, though not
effectively remedied,. IS at the least, re-
lieved. The winter has. however, been
a fine one for the out-of-door work OF
the farmer, and a great deal has been
done; much land for corn has been
broken up, and large fields that have
been in sod for years have been turned
under This is necessary because OF
the increase in ox-eyed daisies and other
weed-grasses.
Wheat is still very high, and very hard
to purchase here at any price. a gen.

the world as with a golden flood Of light.
why not the same law for man?
Cynics set down life as a farce and derioe
all sentiment and the love of man for
man as human weakness. The sun gets
back In reflected glory what it gives, and
II helps more tender germs to propagate
and grow into beauty than all the tenn
pests destroy. 1t is mot good for man TO
live alone" in vastly more than one sense.
However great or gifted, let him but say
TO himself: II have no faith in
friendship, or love, or human kind
ness; all mems hands are lifted
against me; but / am ambitious,
/ will show them, and I will succeed"
That man is climbing up TO fame and
wealth like Mark Twain assembled
Nesuvius; one step UP and two steps
downward.
. Pessimstic to the core, he is bound
to degenerate. Let him toll as he may
he will achieve but a partial success
in life. and his progress will be retarded
because he is swimming against the
tide Of Gods law for the universe. Give
me the man or woman who smilingly
says: my life is what l make It; love
begets love, and I will be worthy Of It,"
| had rather have the exuberant over
confidence Of youth than the distrustful
heart of the cynic.
The first will make many mistakes,
but there will be many friends to help
confiding too easily, there will be after
consequences TO suffer. Growth comes
from suffering, and we learn wisdom
from sorrow. All there is of mental
healing we hold within the tiny palms
of our own hands held out In love, and
feel in every pulsation Of the heart
striving earnestly to do right. because 1t
Is right.
The world is what we make IL; people,
as a rule, what you think they are, and
YOU will receive from them about what
you give.
