TUESDAY NOVEMBER II, 1902
THE INDIVIDUALS PART.

Now hat the campaign is over it
may be well to call attention to the
fact that, important as good govern
ment is, much remains for the indi-
vidual to do. No government however
good can save a citizen from the pun
ishment which follows evil doing and
no government however bad can en-
tirely rob a citizen of the reward which
meritorious conduct earns. Under any
government, however good, the citizen
who is idle and slothful will lag be-
hind the one who is diligent and at
tentive to business; under any govern
ment, however good, the citizen who
destroys his strength by dissipation
will fare badly as compared with the
one who leads a temperate life; under
citizen who wastes his substance in
riotous living will come at last to
husks while the one who economies
and saves is laying the foundation for
a fortune. While under any govern
ment, however bad, those who have
high ideals, who exercise self-restraint
and who ~persevere in their labors will
surpass those who live from hand to
mouth and surrender to appetite and
passion that supremacy which should
be held by head and heart.
Government may raise or lower the
general level, but the position which
any person occupies with relation to
his fellows depends as a general rule,
more upon himself than upon any
law.
Then, too, reform legislation can
only be secured by cooperation among
many, while each one can reform him
self without asking the aid or consent
of any one else, just as n one can
throw himself away in spite of all that
others can do.
Without abating his interest in polit-
ical reforms, without abandoning his
efforts for social reforms, each one can
resolve to make the most of every tai
ent and opportunity and, under the
inspirtion of a high purpose, devote
every energy Of body, head and heart
to the work of life, finding pleasure
in usefulness and compensation in the
consciousness of duty done.-Com-
moner.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY IS PRACTICAL.

Now that the sensational and mine
days wonder" period following the
invention of wireless telegraphy has
passed, and the period of practical de-
velopment and extension has set in,
we shall probably hear much less
through public prints about this really
marvellous device, although, before we
are fairly aware of it, it will be in gen.
eral and familiar use throughout the
world, says Leslie's Weekly. That wire
less telegraphy has already been
brought well within the realms of
practical usefulness is evident by the
fact that our Government is establish
ing a system for it's own use in Alaska,
and that nearly all the ocean steam
ship companies are eQuipping their
vessels with wireless apparatus. That
it is being taken up also as a new and
promising field for the investment of
capital is evident from the statement
that a company has just been formed
in England with a capital of 1915 900
for the purpose of operating an extern
sive system of both wireless telegraph
and telephones. The Westminster Ga
xette says it is informed in behalf of
this company that they can telegraph
