1t was a pretty as well as an appro-
pirate compliment which a wealthy
philantnropist in Central New YORK
paid the other day to Mr.. George w.
Perkins, the we'll known fnancier,
when he caused TO have printed upon
thousand rulers given away to
school children the following quota
tion from Mr.. Perkins: Too many
young men in this country don't want
to work hard. They prefer to take
things easy, stay up late at night and
lie abed too long in the morning. They
never can get ahead that way. Time
and conditions may change, but the
old rule remains the same, that there
is no success without keeping ever
lastingly at it." Wiser words to keep
before the eyes of American boys and
girls could hardly be found than these.
1t will he remembered that Mr.. Per
kins has come up to his present high
and commanding position in the com
mercial world from one of the hum
blest and lowest positions in the
ranks He was once an Office boy to
a member of the firm of J. PierpOnt
Morgan.

Des Moines, July Newer in the
history of Iowa republicanism was a
more happy or harmonious gathering
Of delegates called to order than the
one over which Chairman Spence OF
the state committee sounded the gaVel
this morning. 1t was an inspiration
to young and old to look out over that
sea of happy, harmonious, prosperous
people gathered from every nook and
corner of our great commonwealth.
After a reading Of the published
call of the convention, Chairman
Spence named the following Temporal
ry officers:
Chairman Geo. D. Perkins, of
Sioux City.
Secretary-E. w. Weeks, Of Guth-
RE Center.
Assistant Secretary-R. c. Carver,
of LauTens.
Reading Clerk John Cook, of
Hampton.
Assistant Reading Clerk-A. V.
Proudfoot, of Indianola.
Sergeant-at-arms-CoI. J. G. Lopez,
of Des Moines.
Doorkeeper-J. H. Wilson, of Menlo.
Chairman Perkins said in part:
Gentlemen of the Convention: You
are met here under good omen as re-
publicans, representatives of a great
state and of a great party-members
of and co-workers with the national
republican party. That's the idea.
1t is a very great pleasure to ex'
tend congratulations.
This is a gathering not for war, but
for peace; there is a time for each
You are gathered here in family inter
est, to nominate a ticket and to de-
clare your platform; and your re-
sponsibility in the business of the day
is both state and national.
The circumstances under which this
convention is assembled are most
happy. The material interests Of
this state and of our country have
been greatly prospered. The republi
can party, as the party Of responsible
ity, has large things to its credit.
In contemplating the work awaiting
your hands there is both strength ano
courage in review of the serene land
marks on the way over which oul
country has come. Here and there
as we may know, we builded better
than we knew. On that way are
many graves; but above them all, the
known and the unknown, floats the
flag of our triumphant union. The
record has the stain of many tears
and the blood mark Of many heroes
Many times the way was dark, and
there was consuming hunger and
thirst. The end was hidden even 10
the prophetic eye of our great Lin
coin. But now the clouds are lazy in
the sky; the shadows are Of peace,
and the reflection Of the sun is given
back from the rivers and mountain
sides of all the states.
