Good Receipt for These Who Are
Sensitive.
Dr$On SWEET Marden in Success.

Orson SWEET Mar1en in Success
Morbid sensitiveness requires heroic
treatment. A sufferer who wishes to
overcome it must take himself in
hand as determinedly as he would if
he wished to get control of quick
temper. or to rid himself of a habit of
lying, stealing or drinking, or any
other defect which prevented his be-
ing a whole man.
"What shall | do to get rid of it?"
asks Il victim. Think less of yourself
and more of Others. Mingle freely
with people. Become interested in
things outside of yourself Do not
brood over what is said to YOU, or
analyze every simple remark until
you magnify it into something of the
greatest Importance. Do not have
such n low and unjust estimate of
people as to think they are bent on
nothing but hurting the feelings of
Others, and depreciating and making
light OF them on every possible oc-
caslOn. A man who appreciates
himself at his true value and who
gives his neighbors credit for being
at least rs good us he is, cannot be
a victim OF over sensitiveness.

OF Representatives had insulted him.

dent the World said:

dOre Roosevelt
The issue is forced upon the country
by your unusual temperament and tai
ents-your own strong. able. ambitious.
resourceful, militant. passionate person
atty, your versatile and surprising
genius.
This was the issue. Mr.. Roosevelt
carried all the Eastern States. all the
Northern States, all the Western
States and some of the Southern
States because the people admire lust
the sort of personality that the
World ascribed to him.
When n candidate for President
like Theodore Roosevelt has carried
33 out OF A States, has won 343
out OF q possible 476 votes in the
electoral college and has a popular
plurality approaching 1000. 200, it
Is wasting good lung power to talk
about conservatism or plutocracv or
Tree trade or imperialism or anything
else.
Mr.. Roosevelt has swept the coun-
try because his personality appealed

alton OF the American people. So

quest and making a pretense of tax
ing testimony?

Doing Ones Best.
Success.

Success.
This habit OF always doing one :
best enters into the very marrow OF
ones heart and character. 1t Affects
ones bearing, ones self possession.
The man who does everything to a
finish has Il feeling OF serenity. He
is not easily thrown off his balance.
He has nothing to fear, and he can
look the world in the face because he
feels conscious that he has not put
shoddy into anything, that he has
had nothing to do with shams, and
that he has done his level best. The
sense of efficiency, OF being master OF
ones craft, Of being equal to any
emergency, the consciousness OF pos
sessing the ability to do with superb
Ority whatever one undertakes, will
give soul satisfaction which hall
hearted ,slipshOd worker never knows.
When a man feels throbbing within
him the power to do what he Under
takes as well as it can possibly be
done, and all his faculties say "Amen"
to what he is doing and give their
unqualified approval to his efforts
this buOyant sense of power spurs
the faculties to their fullest develop
ment. 1t unfolds the mental, the
moral and the physical forces, and

OF an expanding mentality and OF IA
broadening horizon, gives an added
satisfaction beyond the power OF

Country VS.. City Life.

The American country boys con
tinue to flock to the city, leaving he
farm life with its promise OF peace
and independence to plunge into the
urban vortex where SO many go
down to failure and despair. II is Il
pity.
This country is III Heed OF intelil-
gent farmers, and no avOcatiOn re-
turns so much reward for thrift and
Judgment as comes from tilling the
soil. Men who have made millions
in the stuffy atmosphere OF the city
expend Il goodly portion OF their
wealth to spend IL few months each
year in the country upon their own
estate, but often their period OF en-
jOyment is sadly curtailed by physi-
cal infrnities brought on by nervous
strain and by the Notwithstanding
environment OF city life.
1t would be Il blessing ii there were
a renaissance of few old-fashiOn
ideas, chief among them being the
belief that Il man who is independent
and healthy has all the riches he
needs. OF what worth is ROckefel-
lows millions to him of the dvSpep-
tic stomach, the distraught nerves,
and eyes that have never known TO
close in health-giving sleep? Orwhat
recompense is Russell Sage's millions
for the beauty OF life and nature he
has missed while immured in his
counting room? The blue sky, the
far-reaching vista, the atmosphere
redolent with the fragrance Of the
woodland and meadow, the chrystal
water of springs beneath the cliff, the
sweet slumber which comes when the
days toll is over, the alarm of twit-
tering birds that awaken one to the
freshness Of the morning, the sense of
independence enjoyed by him who is
monarch of tie sod he tlls-all these
are treasures which the Golfers OF the

Mr.. RooseveIt's Victory.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
The completed returns disclose Il
victory beyond the most eXtrava
CANT expectations of the most en-
thusiastic Optimist. Even that vet
eran rainbow chaser, General Charles
III. GrOsvenOr, of Ohio, had not indi-
Gated in his widest horoscope n re-
suit SO colossal and overwhelming.
True to the ancient and honorable
traditions OF the noble brotherhood
of wiseacres, they claimed everything
that could be claimed without seem
ing ridiculous, shut the facts show
that the most rOSeate cOmputer OF
them all did not even vaguely pre-
figure the astonishing cOnsumma-
ton.
1t is as we said on the morning af-
ter the elections. The matter was
between Mr.. Theodore Rooscveltand
the American people. He laid his
case frankly before them and asked
for their endorsement. There We're
no middlemen, no professional eX-
perts, no resorts to the conventional
methods and machinery. He planned
the campaign from first to last, and
he ordered it's conduct in his own
way. The victory was a purely per-
sOnal achievement, to which no boss,
manipulation or spcllbinder really
contributed at all. Quite a number
OF suave and mellifluous gentlemen
went about entertaining the idle null
titude and scattering flowers OF
rhetoric. An equal number OF earn
est and Industrious gentlemen pre-
pared essays, statistics, etc, which
were capably disseminated, and which
nobody thought of second time, if
a first. One need only consider the
figures, however. in order to satisfy
himself that Mr.. ROOsevelt's real
triumph has been given him by voters
who do not go to the hustings for
their opinions or consult campaign
literature for their facts. The regu-
lars tOed the mark, of course. The
rank and file, who stand up to be
counted, who populate professions,
barbecues and popular demonstra-
tiOns-all these did their campaign
chores as usual and voted nobly on
the Sth. But the astonishing results
in such States as New York. New
Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut. etc.
represent IL personal tribute to Theo-
dore Roosevelt by men who think
and act for themselves, and whose
intentions no boss can forecast or
committee tabulate.
Strictly speaking, this election has
been a personal matter between the
president and the people. He has
been elected not as the result of
shrewd campaign management or
powerful and seductive oratory. but
because the great mass of independ-
ent voters-the silent, thoughtful,
self-contained and self-reliant ele-
ments OF the population-believed in
him and wanted him to realize for
them the principles and policies which
he processes and which they approve.
No other Interpretation can possibly
be put upon the popular verdict pro-
nounced last Tuesday. No fair
minded and enlightened man will
consider any other 1t is Roosevelt's
victory and nothing else.
