If you would rise in life, make your
self wanted-wanted not like the Thief

sional or business man, for good
purpose. A young clerk in store
once asked for an increase in salary
The proprietor gave it to him. Shortly
afterward the clerk asked for another
raise, whereupon the merchant said
to him, "Young man, what you need
is OF more money but more useful
ness" Be useful, and you will be used
Be industrious and you will become
indispensable. Put method into your
work and Others will put money into
your pocket. Plan your work thor
oughly and thoroughly work your
plan. Mix brains with your paint as
did the famous artist, and above all,
put character into all you do. Then
you will be wanted, and best OF all,
you will be worthy OF being wanted.

ENDS OF JUSTICE.

THE tragic ending OF Whitaker
Il Wright, the wizard OF finance in
London, who took poison after receiv.
ing seven year sentence, will serve
to attract wide attention to this al.
ready celebrated case. While he es
capped the modification Of penal servi
tude in Holloway, the ends OF justice
have been accomplished, and he is re-
leased from suffering for his misdeed.
While the popular estimation elias.
his dealings as great financial under.
takeings instead of mere swindlina
operations or getting money under
false pretenses,-and Justice Bing
ham has been censured severely for
his stern dealings with the promoter
The recent disclosures in regard tc
the shipbuilding trust on this side o
the water strengthens the idea tina,
the "window dressing" of stock tt
make 1t look attractive to suckers il
common and that legislation is need
ed to curb the robbery.
Wright was living in an elegan
home in a fashionable quarter o
London, numbered among his friends
those high in business responslbilit,
and royalty, but he took the saving,
OF the frugal poor man and squander
ed them for his own ends giving hin
worthless stock in return, and it i.
the sentiment of the great common
class who have been robbed and who
hold his worthless gilded paper that
condemned him, and justly so.

ton lately of the action of the board
of trustees OF southern college in re-.
fusing to accept the resignation of a
professor who had been fiercely crti-
cized for the non official expression OF
certain opinions concerning the race
question. These opinions were not
shared by the members OF the board OF
trustees, but, having faith in the pro
lessor "both MS a man and IA teacher, -
they firmly and courageously refused
to let him 90. In the stand they took
these trustees did good work, not
merely for their college and for the
south, but for the cause of academic
freedom in general, and the still
greater cause OF the freedom of opinion
and speech everywhere.
