if the one lacks pluck he will be outgeneraled by
the other. The man whose timidity exceeds his
energy to forge ahead, possesses handicap that will
retard his progress in any walk Of lfe On the other
hand the man who has modicum Of pluck is
self-reliant. He is sure of himself and is more
prompt in giving affirmative answer than the
man who is afraid Of making mistake. What often
appear like mountainous obstacles to the one, are
mere pebbles to the other.
The who accomplishes things is the man
who succeeds. In of an emergency such man
can be relied upon He is the who is always in
demand; he is the who is consulted in weighty
AFFAIRS his opinions worth listening to, and his
judgment is highly valued. But the man who says
can't is generally at the foot of that ladder made
famous by our epigrammatists. No one values his
services, or consults his opinion As he stands at
the foot of this ephemera ladder he fears to ascend
His timidity holds him back. No one notices him.
He showed aside to make room for more courageous
spirits
If the life of such man is a failure it is due to
his timidty Altho he may dream of doing great
things they must come to naught if he lacks the
courage to test his ideas. Opportunities may knock
at the timid mans door in vain-he does not possess
the pluck to open the door. If the man who says
can't would learn to say will, his condition would
be materially improved.

Defense AttOrReU.

Defe71Se .AttOT71ey.
THERE recently appeared an article in the Out
look that advocated the election of attorney for
the defendant in all criminal cases. This subject is
revived from time to time, and eventually it will be
given serious consideration. At present those who
believe that the accused should have as good rep
resentaton before the bench the state has, few
in number. Still, their proposition for having an
attorney for the defense we'll for the prosecu-
ton, is going to receive recognition in the near
future. Questions of this nature require consider
able publicity before their merits are acknowledged
by those who frame the laws.
At present those who are opposed to such law
believe that it would offer too much protection to
the criminal classes It is not likely that this charge
would prove true On the other hand, such meas
ure would insure equality before the law than
it is possible for poor man to get today. It would
also be the of temperng the criticisms of that
increasing army of critics who insist that only the
rich can hire the best legal talent and thus
the law, while the poor is advised to plead guilty
and 60 to the penitentiary Whether such criticism
is overdrawn, is immaterial The fact remains: is
or is not the accused entitled to good represen-
tave before the bar the state employs to prosecute
him? In time this question will receive AFR
native answer.

The Old Year.


ONCE again Father Time has reached out and
plucked year from the universe and placed it along
side of it's predecessors With the passing Of the
old year went it's achievements it's failures and it's
wrongs. Much history Of lasting benefit to the
human race has transpired during the past twelve
months. Events of monumental Importance have
been recorded, and reforms Of gigantic magnitude
were inaugurated.
The old year marks another chapter Gfes
book Its account is closed. A glance at the debit
and credit sheet will show whether the nation has
progressed or refrigerated. To many individuals the
old year has been of happiness and contentment,
and to others it has brought only Encouragement
and gloomy prospects. There is nothing their
credit side to give them hope. Still, few would wish
to see the old year botted out Altho lives have
been far from perfect, it is not too late to make
amends and shape future to avoid the
of the past
Before beginning the New Years resolutions, it
would be we'll to take another look at the debit
side of the ledger Find out what it all means. It
may be possible that ninety per cent of the items
there recorded against you the result of your
own ill-nature, your want of poiteness and your
readiness to take mean advantage of another. If
such is the case your retrospection should prove
profitable. The mistakes of the old year will not
have been made in vain The new year will then
bring you greater measure of happiness and peace
of mind than you enjoyed during the year just draw
ing to close

Correspondence Schools.

correspondence OcDOOLS.
Or LATE years there has been marvellous tend
ency towards patronizng the correspondence schools
Whether this tendency is due to the good results at
tanned, that they are a medium by which short
cut can be made to Of the high-salaried posi-
tions, is difficult to say. At any rate these schools
appear to be profitable enterprise to those who
manage them. few years ago there we're scarcely
any Of them; but today there are hundreds.
Many of these schools spend thousands of dol
lars in advertising the merits Of their teaching. This
heavy expenditure might indicate that their scholars
are constantly dropping off their lists, having found
that the particular correspondence school with which
they are in communication not the sinecure
they thoughtit to be. Hence, the heavy outlay for
costly advertising in the magazines. No doubt these
schools have benefited thousands of young ambitious
men. Still, the information thus gained can be Sc
cured from textbooks at a more reasonable figure
than is charged for by many Of these correspond
ence schools. However, the surest way to acquire
the necessary knowledge to become good engineer,
craftsman, or expert electrician is to serve an
apprenticeship Information gained by experience, is
not forgotten but that acquired by MAIL is likely to
prove elusive if not disastrous.

We ARE all familiar with the aims of the Alfred
Noble fund that provides for the distribution of
prizes to those who have progressed in the several
branches of endeavor. Therefore we think our
readers will be interested in knowing the names of
the persons who captured this years prizes. They
are: The peace prize Baroness Won Suttner of

It was predicted in some quarters that President
Roosevelt would be given this years prize for his
efforts in bringing about the settlement between
Russia and Japan Evidently the committee max
ing the award considered President Roosevet's ef-
forts as merely sporadic, and awarded the coveted
honor to who is devoting her whole life toward
permanent peace among the nations of the world.
This is as it should be. Not even the president will
