SUCCESS LIES
IN HARD WORK

Herbert e. Law, one Of San Fran
ciscos wealthiest business men, ad-
dressed a large throng of members of
the Young Mems Christian Association
last night, his subject being: "A Prac-
tical Business Man to Young Men"
Mr.. Law gave one of the most inter-
esting and instructive talks that has
been delivered from rostrum in this
city for some time. He was introduced
by Secretary Mccoy and said in part:
Men who have gained position in the world
working just as hard as when they were
boys Most of the successful ones are not
college men, but men who taught themselves.
The measure Of success does not rest mere
opportunity, nor wealth. nor understanding.
but on the ability to use these agencies. Only
that which you use is of value to you. You
will hear of lots of things that you win
never use.
Men can do what they will. The power
in man to do thing is almost unlimited
The fact that you have not a college educa-
tion is no bar to success. 1 have been
criticized for saying boy Is better OFF with
out college education. II he is rich and
expects to live life of ease he is better with
it but If he has to make his own way and
you keen him along in college until he rs
81 or % and then turn him loose with only
an office boys knowledge he is handicapped.
1 want to begin when I am IA and learn
all the preiminaries while l am young and
not line up at later age against a boy
fifteen years my junior with only the knowl-
edge of business he possesses.
Some of you young men who are listening
to me will be great men and millionaires.
Your success will not be matter of chance,
but of work The whole question is are you
willing to work? The key to success is labor
persistent labor. There Is nothing within
reason you cannot accomplish If you make
up your mind to accomplish 1t. Stay with It,
Don't think the men who make successes are
geniuses born. They are not. They work
until they feel almost worn out. but they rest
and the sun comes out and they get break
fast and go at 1t again They make every
blow stronger and more effective
than the one of yesterday and then they sue

A deplorable feature of the news from the interior is that anti-Jewlsh uprisings have occurred in many places. especially in south Russia, where the populaee vented it's hatred of tho Jews by sacking their stores and clubbing them, the members of the race in some cases resorting to the torch.
 The task of the new prime minister, Count Witte, in launching his expert ment in constitutionalism is rendered very difficult by the manner in which the people throughout the empire re- ceive the proclamation The condl- ton of the great strike and the gen eral outlook over the empire are very little improved since the czar's man. ifesto announcing the granting of SO many liberties that the Russian peo- pie had never previously enjoyed.

A Good Indication.

The fact that stories of graft and
grating cover the first pages OF the
newspapers and that half of the pub
lie and corporation officials Of the
United States either stand convicted
OF plumber o. infidelity. or under sus.
picion OF being guilty, is not half SC
lamentable as on Its face it appears to
he. Instead Of despairing for the ma
tons honor, Americans should be
proud Of the energy with which II Is
going 10 the defense Of that honor.
The significant thing IL not the exist
ence Of grating and erafters, but the
exposure Of the n and the public
branding Of the other. A country in
which men like Holmes and Hyde are
held in contempt and scorn is In lit.

when grating becomes honorable that
