OR1soN SWEET MARDEN in the current number
of Success has excellent article dealing with self
confidence. The subject is entitled, "He Can Who
Thinks He Can" and from which we have selected the
following excerpts:
In September, 1862 when Lincoln issued his
preliminary emancipation proclamation, the sub
FINEST act of the nineteenth century, he made this
entry in his diary: Il promised my God I would do
it, Does any one doubt that such mighty resolu-
ton added power to this marvellous man, or that it
nerved him to accomplish what he had undertaken?
Neither ridicule nor caricature-neither dread Of
enemies nor desertion Of frends-could shake his
indomitable faith in his ability to lead the nation
through the greatest struggle in it's history.
Napoleon Bismarck, and all other great achiev-
ers had colossal faith in themselves. It doubled,
trehled, or quadrupled the ordinary power of
these men.
How long would it take young man to become
successful who puts himself into atmosphere of
failure and remains in it until he is soaked to satura-
ton with the idea? How long would it take man
who depreciates himself, talks of failure, thinks Of
failure walks like failure and dresses like failure
who is always complaining of the insurmountable
difficulties in his way, and whose every step is on the
road to falurehow long would it take him to arrive
at his goal? Would any one believe IN him or ex-
pect him to win?
Daniel Webster's father was much chagrned and
panied when Daniel refused fifteen hundreddolIar
clerkship in the common pleas in New Hampshire,
which he had worked hard to for him after he
left college, Daniel he said, don't you mean to
take that Officer" mo, indeed, father; hope can
do much better than that I mean to use my tongue

BREEN ORDERS Withheld OFF

to Look After Hayden Structure.
HOLDS THAT IS NOT PROVINCE OF OFFICE
Withheld Express Astonishment at
Order and Says He is Not

Action.
HOLDS THAT is NOT PROVINCE OF Off

City Attorney Breen has ordered Building
Inspector Withheld to keep his hands Off
any enforcement of the alterations in the
rev Douglas street department store build
ing OF Hayden Brothers, recommended by
the board of examining engineers and APP
proved by the mayor and council.
In letter to the inspector the attorney
takes the position that the city should not
attempt to exercise any supervision over the
construction OF the building in which two
laborers were killed by collapse of part OF
the concrete and steel work, because IL it
does the city may become involved in pos
sible Liabilities in possible future damages.
The letter from the attorney was brought
about through note from Inspector With
nell sent to Hayden Brothers December 23
directing the specified changes be made in
construction and that new plans be filed
in his office. Hayden Brothers took up the
matter with the attorney and the result
was the letter to the inspector, telling him
his duty ends when he has informed the
owners of the structure of the action taken
by the council
1T Is the strangest doctrine l have ever
heard from the legal department of any
city," said the inspector. 81 have always
believed that it was within the powers of a
municipal government to exercise reason
able control over the construction of build
ings within its Jurisdiction. Apparently
this principle is a fallacy. / have not de-
cided what shall do In the matter. Hay
den Brothers have made no change in the
construction of the building. l have looked
at 1t casually from day to day, though
still restrained by court order from enter
Ing the premises. Promises to have this
order dissolved have not been kept.

Text of the Letter.
The letter of the attorney reads:

The letter of the attorney reads:
My attention has been directed to Docu-
ment No 1854, being resolution passed De
cember l., 1905. and approved December IL
lSo. l have also seen letter which, pur-
suant to the authority, l presume of this
resolution, you wrote to the Hayden
In that letter you not only notify the
Hayden Brothers of tho passage and ap-
prevail OF said resolution and thereby call
the attention of the said Hayden Brothers
to the report of the COMMITTEES on Are,
water and police, to which committee was
submitted the report of the board OF ex-
aiming engineers with respect TO the safe
or unsafe condition of the Hayden Broth
ers' building; but in your letter you also
say the resolution, copy of which is
herewith attached, is self-eXplanatory and
fully sets forth what you will have to do
as to the initial and first step toward
showing that the building is secure" and
In the next paragraph you say: You
are therefore hereby notified to i'm
mediately take steps to comply with the
requirements OF the said concurrent reso-
luton OF the mayor and city council OF
Omaha" and further along you say plans
and specifications to cover the require
ments of the enclosed resolution should be
submitted to me for approval and for filing
office"
| Lest the city should, through you, be-
come involved i'm absolutely directing or
participating in the changes deemed neces-
sary by the report OF the said committee
on fire, water and police, l write to ad-
| wise you. in behalf of the city of Omaha
/ that neither the city, as such, or it's build
| ing inspector, a city official and acting
] in that capacity. has any right whatever
to enter upon these premises for the pur-
1 pose of directing or enforcing the changes
recommended by said committee.
The city should keep far away from
any participation in the changes suggested
as possible. Your whole duty In the mat
ter, permit me to suggest, ends when YOU
have notified the Hayden Bros. OF the ac-
ton of the said committee on Are. water
and police and of the resolution passed by
the city council on said report
/ write this for the reason that you may
not fully realize that IL the city makes
, the positive and absolute demand that
4 these changes be made or participates In
making them, even to the extent OF your
4 entering as city official upon those prem
! ises and directing the changes, and IL any
| accident should happen while the city is in
that attitude the city would probably be
| liable in heavy damages either TO those
/ who might be hurt in a physical sense or
to the owners OF the building itself.
! Moreover, II Is entirely clear that YOU
have no authority TO command that the
present contractor, Mr. Jobst. permit you
to enter upon these premises TO make any
of these changes until he has completed
the structure as originally designed and
/ he has a right to carry out his contract
/ with Mr.. Hayden unmolested by you as a
| city official or by the city council as 10
these changes. and when the building is
