young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.

The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty wears
ago. 1t was not wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men

own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret OF their success?
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fel1ow-men? Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So

are essentials in the foundation on which
to build successful career, and vet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success .

CHRISTMAS is just fifteen days
off, and the matter of presents
for your friends is one that will
soon have to be considered. A
very foolish thing to DO is to
waste money in buying gifts that
are of no positive use to the one
for whom they are intended.
if you can't get something that
is serviceable, or at least orna-
mental, then it is about as well
to cut out the gifts altogether.
This is practical day and age,
and the person who buys a
Christmas gift for a friend
should see to it that the gift is at
least wor tn receiving.

Indian Agent Cam pbell's policy in
the government Of the Chippewa
Indians of Wisconsin has attracted
great deal of attention and the
time will come when his official con-
duct, in relation to Indians, will b,

first practical step that has been TAX

among the Chlppewas, towards max

The sale of the Indians pine was
inaugurated few years ago by Ma
jor Campbel's predecessor. Forum
ately for the Indians, the major be-
came agent at time when they be
gan to receive 5her pay, and it. has
been his lot to see that their money
was not paid to them on demand but
only as needed for the purchase and
improvement of homes, and also for
real necessities. The pine will be
all gone from the reservation in a
few years, and the Indians will have
left only their real estate, and some
of them will not have that even,
they will either then become paup-
ers, or they will have to support
themselves as all other persons are
obliged to do, by the sweat of their
brow.
1T is one of the main objects Of
my life, says Major Campbell, "to
fit the Indian boys and girls under

man are both largely what the white
man has made of them. Keep the
white man and his vices away from
them, and they will develop. 1t is
considered beneath the dignity of a

THE PRESIDENT AND PANAMA.

In his message to Congress
Monday, President Roosevelt re-
views the long line of dlsturban-
ces, covering a period OF fifty
years, in the Isthmus of Pana-
ma. and concludes.
Under such circumstances the
government of the United States
would have been guilty of folly
and weakness, amounting IN
their sum to a crime against the
nation, had it acted otherwise
than it did when the revolution
of Nov. 8 last took place in Pana.
ma. This great enterprise of
building the inter-oceanic canal
cannot be held up to crafty the
whims, or out of respect to the
governmental impotence, or t o
he even more sinister and evi |
political peculiarities, of people
whoug, tho they dwell afar off,
against the wish of the actual
jewellers on the isthmus, assert
an unreal supremacy over the
territory. The possession of a
territory fraught with such
peculiar capacities as the 18TH
mus in question carries with
it obligations to mankind. The
course of events has shown that
this canal cannot be built by pri-
vate enterprise, or by any other
nation than our own; therefore it
must be built by the United
States.
Every effort has been made by
the government of the United
States to persuade Columbia to
follow a course which was essen
TALLY not only to our interests
and to the interests of the world,
but to the interests of Colum bia
itself. These efforts lave failed,
and Columbia, by her persist
ence in repulsing the advances
that have been made. has forced
us, for the sake of her own
honor, and. of the interest and
well-being, not merely of our
own people, but of the people
of the ,isthmus of Panama and
the people of the civilized coun-
tries of the world, to take decis-
i've steps to bring to an end a
condition of affairs which had be-
come intolerable. The new re-
public of Panama Immediately
offered to negotiate treaty with
US. This treaty herewith sub
NIT. By it our interests are bet,
ter safeguarded than in the
treaty with Columbia which was
ratified by the senate at it's last
session. It is better in it's
terms than the treaties offered to
US by the republics OF Nicaragua
and Costa RIGA. At last the
right to begin this great under
taking is msde available. Pana-
ma has done her part. All that
remains is for the American con-
gress to do it's part and forth
with this republic will enter up
on the execution Of a project
colossal in it's size and of we'll
nigh incalulable possibilities for
the good of this country and the
nations of mankind.

ONE of our exchanges sticks
up it's nose in disgust at the
policy of some state papers in
talking politics all the year
round. There is some good
sense in this, but after all one
cannot help but admire the indi-
vidual or newspaper that has an
opinion regarding public affairs

CONGRESS passed from out OF
the special session into the reg

Senate will now be compelled to
act upon the Cuban reciprocity
measure, over which they have
been dilly- dallying for so long a
time. The treaty with the new
republic of Panama will be be-
fore the Senate in the course of
a few days, and the ratification
Of it is a foregone conclusion.

whole measure we'll under way

that financial or tariff legislation
