The review Of the Dispatch position
in the last weeks Kirwin KanSan was
an excellent article showing Tie du'
plicity and inSincerlly UI John q
Royce as Il politician. While the Her
aid believes as the Kausan III LliIS
matter and would Ike 10 reproduce
the article in full, it Is sincere in It's
purpose 10 buId up The republlca II
party and restore the harmony pOllJl-
clans have destroyed. Tue Herald
believes in doing tile "lair thing ana
will make any concession that reason
and honor dictate asa proper course
1t does not believe IN unnecessarily
belaboring any individual even II he
is an unreliable politician. Therefore
as much as pOSsible IL has avoided the
publication Of articles that would
tend To line up the factions, and in
future it expects tn pursue the sumo
policy. But the Herald or any Other
respectable paper cannot help lining
up and assisting cause that has been
fOully betrayed. Phillips county re-
publiCanism has been afflicted with
with politicians, and the TeSultan,
diScOrd has nearly put 1T out Of bust
ness. The recent convention attempts
ed to heal these troubles and If The
politicians had kept out, would have
been successful. AS WAS expected the
politician who struggled for the title
OF "bOss" bntled in again and asked
the delegation to act contrary to the
expressed will Of the convention Now
Of course his request even If followed
would not have changed the outcome
but it opened up all the political sores
and the Herald desires that The PEG
Pile know to whom these disturbances
should be charged Compelled toI
take a back seat and Smart'ng under
the sting Of defeat, as the KanNn
SayS Royce still farther seeks to dis
rupt thu party, and be will do IT. too
The solution is easy and he conclu.
sion certain There can he no bar
mony in the republican party as long
as JOHN @. Royce is in 1t.

Although the RuSSO-Japanese war
is not month old its effects in in
creasing the cost Of living in the
United States already are being felt
by the masses. The prices of nearly
all the necessities VI life have gone up,
with the prospect Of going much high
er before they reach steady level. In
reality there is no lengitimate cause
for the general rise at so earlya period
in the far eastern war, and it goes
without saying that il nearly all The
great staples Of American production
were not now controlled either directly
ur Indirectly by the trusts the rise in
prices TO the consumer would not he

The principles that win success are
very simple and few in number. They
are easily remembered. Here they
are: l. Industry, but not OverwOrk;
2. Willingness to profit by the expert
ences Of Others; g. Ability, coupled
with mndesty: 4. Simple and correct
habits; 5. Honesty, polteness and
fairness. ANY one Of ordinary ability
who practices these rules cannot avoid
success. Success is easier than failure.
