Profit in business does not consist
solely in buying goods at reasonable
price and selling them at an advance.
A man may do large business, and
yet not make q cent OF profit, al
though he sells nothing below the in
voice price and loses nothing by bad
debts or poor-paying customers. In
figuring out the profits OF his business
man must take into consideration
all the expenses of the business-the
freight, the carriage, store rent, clerk
hire, heat, light, power and other ex-
penses connected with his business.
He must take into consideration his
own time and the labor performed by
the other members OF his family. In
all branches of the trade this holds
good. In reaching out for more bust
ness and trying to increase the vol
ume Of trade he must take into con-
sideration what it costs to advertise,
to deliver his goods, and the increase
of his salary list. All these things
have te be figured out when the ques-
ton of profit is taken into considera-
ton. One had be tier do reasonably
small business, where expenses can be
reduced co minimum, than attempt
to do large business with small cap
ital at great additional expense.

We frequently hear the statement,
more or less boastful. Il never ask a
mans religion or politics" This con-
gratulatory statement is regarded by the
individual making it as evidence of his
liberality. We cannot endorse any such
proceeding.
The character OF an Individual and
his fitness for work is largely deter
mined by his religion and his politics.
Religion is the attitude which man
assumes toward his God, and politics is
the creed he holds in his relation with
the state. The atheist and the anarchist
are without religion and without politics.
If it makes no difference as to a mans
religion or politics, then atheists and
anarchists may be as good neighbors and
as valuable citizens as any inhabitants
of the community. To this doctrine the
community will hardly give assent.
knowledge of mans religion and his
politics-his spiritual and political plat
form-is necessary to an understanding
of his character. This does not mean
that inquiry need be made DIS to his
particular church or party. That makes
comparatively small difference. But he
is better man, a more efficient EN-
ploye, more trustworthy in business,
safer in all the duties of citizenship, if he
is profoundly religious in his life and
earnestly devoted to some high and
noble political principle. A man who
takes no interest in religious matters,
who is concerned merely with the
material things, is but little removed
from the hog who cares only to eat and
sleep. A man who has no concern for
political affairs, who contributes nothing
toward the state is public parasite, a
species of passive anarchist.
knowledge of mans religion and
his politics is absolutely essential to any
real understanding of his actual charac-
ter and outcome.-Ex.

The time is not far distant, meas
ured by centuries, when the civilized
races will dominate the world, to the
extinction of all other people. 1t is a
we'll known fact in the science of nat
ural history that the invasion Of an
uncivilized country by civilized man
marks the beginning of the decay OF
the lower race. The natives OF the
Sandwich Islands have been decreas-
ing ever since the white man set foot
on their soil. The same is true OF the
American Indian. 1t will prove true
of the Philippine Islands, and the
slow but sure progress of extinction
will continue until the lower races OF
man are known only in history. The
links between his descent from the
lowest to the highest and most intel
ligent form OF the human being will
in time be remembered only by pict-
ures that have been preserved and by
reading of these races. There will
also be as great contrast between the
present and the future civilization as
there is between the present and the
past. From these facts it may be pos.
sible that our expansion to new fields
and new power is but link in evolu-
ton that will help to complete the
chain

achievement and courage synonymous

The city election takes place next

go and vote, for it is OF more impor-
lance than good many might think.
Just consider, we have our water works

our reservoir will want some repairs
so that a supply can be kept on hand
in case of fire; the health part needs
careful watching; the cemetery needs
attention; our streets need fur ther i'm

and the proposed stand pipe for water
storage is worthy Of consideration.

Haverly's Minstrels put forward
this season the one, the only George
Wilson of Waltz Me Again fame as
their star; as their vocalist George
Morgan, a male soprano, whom they
will expect to create something of
sensation here. Morgan is an English
man who has been the featured solo
ist of Mosre & Burgess Minstrels,
London, England. 1t is claimed that
no male singer ever lived who could
produce notes of the altitude of this
phenomenal vocalist. He strikes .
b fiat above the coveted high c tenors.
and it is neither falsetto nor "squak,r
