Success For All.

True success is within the reach o. all
men. 1t is to know and to do Gods will.
to learn and to follow IN His way. 1t is to
put our hand cheerfully to the pen or the
plow, whichever Gods providence sug-
gests. In the reckonirgs OF eternity to
have been a good mason will count for
more than to have been bad monarch;
to have walked worthy of the vocation OF
servant will be accounted better than to
have been selfish sovereign. Lives that
upon earth we're despised, but which were
we'll lived, and labor that was counted me.
NAL. but which was well performed, Will
bear the stamp Of divine approval for eter-
con of heaven as it seldom is in any lexi-
con of earth AS for the dollar mark, it
will not be used in the world of bliss

WATER POWER IN MEXICO.
Enormous Amount Of Hydraulic Force
Going to Waste There.

Enormous Amount Of Hydraulic Force
Going to Waste There.
Modern Mexico has often had occa-
sion to call attention to the fact that,
though fuel is scarce in Mexico, still
the country is supplied with sA
abundance OF power for the move
ment of prime motors. We refer, says
Modern Mexico, of course, to water
power. The construction of electric
plants for the purpose of furnishing
light and power has hardly begun
in proportion to the demand and the
water power available.
Mexico, which undoubtedly stands
in much greater need OF electric
power than either France Of Switzer-
land. on account of the higher price
of fuei, is supplied with an almost
unlimited amount of hydraulic force.
In the central mesa of the republic,
which averages 5000 feet above the
sea level, rise a great number OF
rivers and streams, the Balsas, Lena,
Tamesi, and Panuco being but rev
Of the more important. While no ac-
curate estimate has been made OF
the available water power, it is prob
able that at least 100000 horse
power are running to waste at the
height. of the dry season. Less than
one-half of 1.per cent. of this amount
or, say $4,000, is. being utilized for
motive power, including that used d.
rectly for -four mills, cotton mills To-
Gated directly at the falls. and ab-
sorbed by electric plants for trans
mission to distant points. In the City
of Mexico, under present conditions,
it probably costs at least $3.50 a year,
Mexican money, per horsepower to
produce power from steam, and even
in the most favored districts, where
fuel is cheap, it will reach $125.
The coal barons of the United
States are, perhaps, her most solid
aristocracy, and those who get con-
troll of LA Huille Blanch" (the white
coaD of this country will hold in the
near future a much more important
position. The power is here, on top
of the ground. 1t does not have to
be mined or transported. 1t will
carry itself with but wire to go on,
and Mexico is a country that offers
many conditions favorable to gigantic
industrial enterprises.

"Stre&G. Forth Thy Hand"

"stretch forth thy hand" You with
that weak hand shortened by the hard cir
cumstances of your life, stretch it forth!
You with that hand drawn up by love OF
self; and you with fingers warped by
thoughtless, unkind words and deeds,
stretch them forth. With honest purpose,
with unfaltering will, whatever may be its
weakness or its need, Stretch forth thy
hand" And the Christ will look upon it.
He will pity its weakness and deformity
and 10! as you stretch it forth it will be-
come whole-restored, that you may bless
with kindly deed many needy one who
waits and waits-perhaps for you.-M. NJ.

No "Gran! I" -


Congress has no more widely useful
measure of domestic legislation in
hand that is contemplated in the bill
put forward by Representative Brown
low and Senator Gallinger to give ma
tional aid to the good roads movement.
The plan is to make liberal appro-
priation which will be available for
the payment of half the cost Of build
ing new roads, the other half to be
paid by the State, county or local po-
!itical division benefited by the i'm
provement. The authors of this de-
sign pointed out in addresses to the
Automobile Club that the general gov
ernment, which has spent 100000 in
the Philippines and 81 100000 in Porto
Rico on road building, could properly
do something in that line for the Amer
lean farmer. AS $3.50, 100000 has been
spent on rivers and harbors since
the Civil War, they suggest it is time
to make facilities for land travel also
Q matter of federal concern.
The. is no doubt that the Ameri-
can farmer directly, and the whole
people Indirectly, would gain much by
the stimulus the good roads move
ment would receive from a federal
appropriation sharing with the State
half the cost Of new roedways. There
is only one argument against putting
IL; plan quickly into effect, and that
is the danger of opening the way to
extravaganza in appropriations and
graft" in their expenditure. If the
American people could have assurance
not to Say insurance, against turning
the plan to the advantage Of reckless
legislators and corrupt contractors,
they would quickly order it carried
out. They want no more river and
liarbor grabs or public buildings steals
or rural free delivery plunder. There
are plenty Of arguments against open
ing the Treasury door to that kind of
graft" But there is no argument
against good roads.
