With an overwhelming Demo
cratic maiority.in both Senate and
House, Governor Swanson will
have rare opportunity for put
ting into effect laws for the better
ment of our public school system

ways.

Mr.. Swanson has the opportu-
nifty of life time to make good"
his ante-election promises.
If these promises arc not fulfill

THE GAME OF LIFE.
your own Resolution, and Not Fate
Deals the Cards

A"ur OWh resolution, and Not Fate,
Deals the Cards.
Many man has tried to Justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him, that he must pick them up and
play the game and that no effort. how
ever great. on his part could materially
change the result. But. my Young
friend, the fate that deals your cards
Is in the main your own resolution.
The result of the game does not rest
with fate or destiny, but with Won.
You will take the trick If you have the
superior energy, ability and determine
ton requisite to take it, You have the
power within yourself to change the
value Of the cards which, YOU say. fate
has dealt YOU. The game depends upon
your training, upon the way you are
disciplined TO seize and use your op-
portunites and upon your ability to
put grit in the place Of superior advan-
tages.
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients to lawyers and pa
uents TO physicians, put commonplace
clergymen in uncommon pulpits and
place the sons Of the rich at the head
Of great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarcely
any experience, while poor youths
with greater ability and more expert
ence often have to fight their way for
years TO obtain ordinary situations.
are you justified In starting out with
out n chart or in leaving a place for
luck in your programme? What would
you think of the captain of great
liner who would start out to sea with
out any port in view and trust TO luck
10 land his precious cargo safely?
Did YOU ever know of Il strong young
man making out his life programme
and depending upon chance to carry
out any part Of it? Men who depend
upon luck" do not think 1t worth
while to make a thorough preparation
for success. They are not willing TO
pay the regular price for it. They are
looking for bargains. They are hunting
FOR short cuts to success.
Power gravitates to the man who
knows how. Luck is the tide. nothing
more. The strong man rows with II If
1t makes toward his port. He rows
against IL if it flows the other way

HEARST IN new YORK.

BY wholesale fraud. thuggery
and intimidation Tammany Ton the
face of the returnsl has reelected
Mcclellan as Mayor of New York
city, by the very small majority of
5000.
William Randolph Hearst has
announced that he viii contest the
election and carry the case to the
highest court.
The independent press of New
York as well as practically every
paper which opposed Hearst. agree
with him that he Is entitled to a
recount, and q majority of these
papers practically concede that he
will be elected 10y the recount.
The greatest mistake of 1904
was the failure To nominate Hearst
for President ON the Democratic
ticket. That mistake can and. we
believe, will he rcctified in 1905.
The greatest crime of 1905 was
the methods used 10y Tammany to
re-elect Mcclellan. We believe
that crime will be punished by
New York courts, and the guilty
ones placed in Sing Sing prison.
where they rightfully belong.
We believe Hearst will be de-
clared Mayor of New York when
the courts force Il fair count of the
ballot.

Too Thick for the Faithful in North
Carolina.
Pigs, goats and fleas are the subject
of proposed legislation by the general
assembly of North Carolina. In Pitt
coaaty churches appear to have been
erected ON a plan that puts the floor
several, feet above the ground, with
openings between the pillars. Hogs
and goats have sought the convenient
shelter Of this space, until the soil on
which the churches stand has become
one part sand and two parts fleas. In
consequence religious services have
been broken up and congregations dis
missed from worship at very inoppor'
tune times with alarming frequency.
The nuisance has become SO great
that the members Of the general as
sembly from Pitt county have intro
duced bills to require owner Of hogs
and goats running at large to fence in
the churches. SO as to keep these ami
mals from roasting under them

Too Much Talk of Birth.

When the Society of the Cincinnati
was formed there vas the most
vehement opposition to the principles
of founding here an hereditary order.
There is less danger to-day of an aris-
tOcracy of birth winning any real as
tendency in this land than there was
when the nation was just breaking
away from the English tradition. But
there is to-day in some quarters an
unmistakable development of snob-
berry which lays an absurd emphasis
on the circumstance of birth. A line
of worthy ancestors is IN excellent
thing-iI any ancient virtues have
been transmitted to the children. An
hOnored name is IN enviable posses
sion-when it's living owner bears
himself worthily. Membership in an
hereditary patriotic order is possibly
an advantage-so long as it inspires
the member to serve his country to-
day in causes no less holy, though
maybe less heroic, than those which
his order commentaries. Other ad.
vantages than these birth doe not
confer.-Philadelphia Ledger.

come Of cures of different forms Of
Kidney Disease by Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this place is not without
evidence of the great work the Great
American Kidney Remedy is doing.
Among the cured here is Mr.. J. v.

Pills have done wonders for me. My
kidneys and bladder were badly out
of order. l used many medicines, but
got nothing to cure me till l tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Two boxes Of
them fixed me up SO that l have been
well ever since.

diseased people to take Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and get we'll"
No case of kidney complaint is too
far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to
cure. They are the only remedy that
has ever cured Bright's Disease.
