Why Workman Wins While a Gen.
ius Fails.

ius Fails.
If your Uncle Ira attempted to tell
some people who had succeeded in
life but indifferently that the reason
why they did not do better was that
they did not know their business nc
doubt they would be insulted. But the
fact remains, just the same, that a
large proportion of failures in life are
due to incomplete knowledge of the
particular business each was engag-
ed in. Why is it that one man does
better in given line than another?
The lazy man says it is luck. Some
believ it to be due to a superior men,
tai equipment, but that cannot be in.
valiably true when sometimes the fail
ures are infinitely brighter mentally
than some of the successes. Many a
man is well equipped mentally who
lacks the faculty of putting his tai
cnts to use. There are numerous rea-
sons, of course, but none more impor-
their business more closely than 9TH
ers. and act upon what they learn.
Given two men, of equal opportunity
and equal brain value, engaged in the
same line of work. One is in it be.
cause he happened to land there some.
how; he takes no particular interest
in, 60 fIo{ ~
his living, and his ambitions scatter
themselves in vague dreaming about
falling into something that will make
him quickly rich. The other is in it
because he likes it. and his ambition
takes the definite form of being sue.
cess in it, and doing it better than
others do it. He studies that business
from A to 2, and after he has it's rudi-
ments learned, ne studies it's details
one by one. Perhaps in one of these
he sees chance to specialize, and by
giving to that detail his whole energy
ard intellect to be able to do that par
ticular feature of it better than any
body else has done it before him. Or.
perhaps, by giving himself a deeper
knowledge of all it's details than 9th.
ers have. ne becomes one of it's gen.
erals, and is able to assume position
"i command. The first man fails in
that business, as matter of course.
He deserves failure. He has wasted
his talents and his opportunities. II
that was not his business. he should
have found out what was, and in his
chsen line have done as the second
man did. The second man. equally as
matter of course, has succeeded. He
succeeded because he deserved to sue
coed and because he earned success.
Luck? There was no more luck about
it than there would have been had the
choice between success and failure
been plain before them, and one had
chosen success and the other failure.
That is what they choose, and that
is what thousands of young men are
choosing every day. And generally
the failures are explaining to their
friends how lucky the successes have
been, and how misfortune and bad
luck have haunted their own footsteps.
Most men make their luck.-Forsyth
Times.

"CARBON COUNTY REPUBLICAN"

Such is the name of the new paper
which made its appearance in Red
Lodge last Friday. a copy of which is
now on our table. The Republican is
a six column quarto, neat in appear
arce, we'll patronized by advertisers
and replete with local and state news.
Johns & Cuhman are the publishers
Of this new candidate for public favor.
Thomas Jefferson Johns. is a name
familiar to nearly every citizen of
Fergus county he having been a resi-
dent of Lewistown for over fifteen
years, the greater part of the time
owning or conducting the Democratic
organ in this city and county
While some will be surprised to
learn that Mr.. Johns is now editor of
Republican paper, considering his
former rock-ribbed brand of allegiance
+ Democracy. few will deny that he
y capable and incisive writer, and
quick to see the weakness of a politl
cal opponent or anyone with whom
NJ may be engaged in controversy.
Having seen the error of his Democrat
!" ways and Joined the party of pros
perity and progress, we can look for
a gradual revelation of the sins and
shortcomings of the national and state
Democracy as they appear TO one who
has emerged from the inner circle. In
his salutatory, Mr. Johns in part,
says:
'As its title indicates, this newspa-
per will be an exponent Of Republican
doctrines, and in our advocacy Of thesa
measures we will conscientiouslv and
fearlessly support such principles a.

tiyes of the political organization 10
which We owe our adherence. BeIiev-
inS implicitly that the vital interests
of our country can be best subserved
by the dominancy Of the splendid prin
ciples of which our patriotic president
is SO illustrious and admirable an ex
ample, We shall at all opportune times
contribute our best enyeayOrs in ar
effort to achieve official preferment
for the duly designated representa-
tives Of the party, realizing that in
this we are not only discharging an
imperative duty deyolvng upon a
newspaper which aspires to be thor
time thereby contribute TO the per-
petuation of our present universal and
unprecedented era Of national prosper
ity. That this prosperity can only be
attained through the medium of Re.
publican administration no one who
has been an impartial observer of past
events can logically dispute, and we
should, therefore. prove recreant in
oul duty to the public should we do
otherwise than seek the PRONUNCIATION
and propagation of those principles
the triumph of which is so essential
10 the promotion, happiness and pros
perity of the Masses
No doubt Messrs. Johns & Cush-
man will give the people of Red Lodge
and Carbon county a live, up-to-date
paper, with it's columns clean. decor
Gus, and altogether Invested of un-
pleasant personalities and unjust and
unfair insinuations"--a good resolu-
lion for any newspaper.
Holding no resentment for the har.
potns which Mr.. Johns has hurled at
us in years long since passed, we wish

Senator Carter ami Representative
Dixon have filed with Commissioners
Leupp. of the bureau of Indian affairs.
a vigorous protest. in the name OF the
citizens of Valley county. against the
location of the Turtle Mountain In
danse in that section. AS has been
stated in the press, it was proposed
to dump about 500 families OF these
North Dakota Indians into Valley coun-
ty. giving to each head of family 100
acres for himself and eighty acres for
each child. This, it is claimed, would
have taken nearly all of the surveyed
and unappropriated land in the Big
Muddy valley and left none for set
tiers who are seeking homes in Valley
county. The conditions of the allot-
ment were such that the placing OF the
Indians on the lands was equivalent
to the establishment of another Indian
reservation in the state. Upon learn
ing of this very smooth scheme.
which is said to have been engineered

nation A reply from Commission
Leupp is expected within a few days.
Montana is not greatly in need of
more Indians just at present.
