How To Be Happy.

1t is envy and ambition that
make us miserable. We often
discover that we want things by
seeing the abundance of others,
II is comparison that klndles the
fire, SO that in outward posses sions
we should look to those beneath
us; but for our mental attanments
let us strive for the highest and
noblest.
A thing long expected and earn.
estly desired, when possessed, does
not always bring the happiness
anticipated. DO we not get the
greatest good when we make anoth.
err happy! We need to love and
be loved in order to be happy.
Let us do what we can for our
friends. We can speak of what is
pleasant rather than dissagreable.
We can be in sympathy with their

But Someone Must Yield.

The Washington Post says:
We have rcad many times about
threatened splits in the RepubiI
can party, but somehow they don't
matrrlaIl2r very frequently ~
But it is evident at this time that
something will happen to the Re
puhlirun party unless some Repub-
Iicuus abandon their position.
\ very large number Of Repub,
Ilcans insist that the shelter which
the trusts find in the tariff must
bc destroyed. The tariff barons
say that the maintenance of that
shelter is Il patriotic duty. IT this
difference is not settled to the sat
lsfactlOn of the tariff baron the
world knows he will not tamely
submit.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that the in
lrrStatc commerce commission
must he given authority to fix rail
road rates. The railroad mana.
gers in the United States senate
say no. Somebody must yield
on this point
Mr.. Roosevelt says, in effect,
that the time has come when we
must shackIe cunning as in the
past we have shacRled force. But
the representatives of cunning pro.
test vigorously against the shack
les. II is plain that someone must
weld on the shackling question.

said that in spite of the Republican
claim that it is the duty of Amer.

ihcy are required to pay more than
they would in Il oreign market,
the supplies for the Panama canal
will be purchased abroad to avoid
the impositions which he trust
magnates seek to put upon the
government. Republican leaders
like Cannon and GrosyenOr, backed
by the agents of the trusts, say
that the publlc money shall not be
spent in foreign markets, but must
be spent IN this country, Some
one must yield on tins point or
else the split will be forthcoming
Mr.. Roosevelt has said that the

The champions OF the trust system
say that the enforcement OF tins
