A Reminder to Mr.. Williams.

From the N. Y. Tribune
Secretary Taft has nearly punctured
John Sharp Williams's rhetorical rig.
marole about the Declaration CT inde-
pendence and the Filipinos. In his
speech at Montpelier the former Cover
nor of the Philippines made this home
trust at Mr.. Williams: "It is quite re.
markable that Mr.. Williams should he
so sensitive that the Filipinos are not
given complete self-government at
once, and yet should be willing TO
represent the Yazoo district in Con-
gress, elected thereto by vote of
l,463 persons out ofa population Of l90,-
0OO."
How is a Democratic orator to indulge
in irony and sarcasm If he is thus TO be
reminded OF facts? Independence for
the Filipino may be acorgenial subject
for men who do more talking than
thinking, but constitutional rights for
the negro in Mississippi-that, of course,
is a very different thing, not at all
suitable to oratory of the Williams type.

A DISAPPOINTED MAN

He took life too seriously.
He did not choose upward
He starved from mental poverty.
He saved his money. but starved his
mind.
His social faculties atrophied from
disuse.
He thought he could not be happy
without wealth.
He did not develop his manhood
along with his business.
He murdered his capacity for hapDi-
ness in getting ready for it
He sacrificed the friends Of his youth
and had no time 10 make new ones
He never learned the art Of extract
ing enjoyment from common things.
He had developed a colossal power
for receiving. but had never learned to
give.
He was victim of habit and rou-
tine; he never could rise above his vo-
cation.
His only enjoyment was in repeating
what he had been doing all his bust
ness life
He had never learned TO enjoy as he
went along. but found that postponed
happiness was a Success.
