TWO KINDS OF SUCCESS.

In his recent speech at the banquet
of the New York Chamber of Com
merce, President Roosevelt said in
part as follows;
.'There are very different kinds of
success. There is the success that
brings with it the scared soul-the
success which is achieved by wolfsh
greed and vulpine cunning sue
cess which makes honest men uneasy
or indignant in its presence. Then
there is the other kind of success
the success which comes as the re-
ward of keen insight, Of sagacity, Of
resolution, of address. combined with
unfincling rectitude Of behavior, pub
lie and private. The first kind Of
success may, in a sense-and a poor
sense at that-beneft the individual,
but it is always and necessarily a
curse to the community; whereas the
man who wins the second kind as an
incident of his winning is beneficiary
to the whole commonwealth.
Arrogance, suspicion, brutal envy
to the well-to-do, brutal indifference
toward those who are not weIl-to-do,
the hard refusal to consider the rights
of others, the foolish refusal to con-
slider the limits of benefcent action,
the base appeal to the spirit of selfish
greed, whether it takes the form of
plumber Of the fortunate OF of oppres-
sion Of. the unfortunate from these
and from all kindred vices this nation
must be kept free if it is to remain in
its present position in the forefront
Of the peoples of mankind
The President was speaking to sue
cessful men, and his words to them
are a wholesome reminder of the du-
ties and obligations which success
imposes. There are only two kinds
of men who can dlsapproye of his ut
terances-the brutally selfish and
ayaricious money worShippers, and
the anarchist'c agitator. H9opily
these are very much in the minority
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1902-11-19
WAITING FOR SUICIDE.

One of the curious features of the
recent campaign was the in activity of
certain Democratic leaders who said
that it would be better for the Repub-
lcans to win the house, so that they,
the enemp, could go on to suicide.
The Honorable Pitchfork Tillman, ac-
cording, to the Savannah Press, was
one of this kind of statesmen. The
Press says:
Senator Ben Tilllman remained
quiet during the recent campaign,
so he cannot be accused of hurting
the party. He is satisfied for the Re
publicans to have control of the
house and patiently awaits now the
crash he deems inevitable later on"
The Democratic party is not infal-
lible 1t has made some very serious
blunders and the better element, that
is the bone and sinew of the party do
not depend upon men of the Tillman
type to save it. Possibly Senator Till
man remained quiet because he didn't
know just "where he was at.

In the South the negro is barred

which the Philadelphia Record dem. )
says: ''No negro in the south is

phia the assisted negro voter does not
need that qualification to enable to
vote early and often the ticket of the
