SUPERVISORS.
For the Office of County Supervisors,
each of the three districts have named
men who would make an ideal board.
In the first district ]. J. Lowry was
nominated In response to the desire of
Cresco to have a representative on the
board, to which it is entitled. About
one fifth of the total tax of the county
is paid by Cresco and Vernon Springs
township and this part of the district
should have voice in its disposal. Mr..
Lowry's abilities as business man are
too well known to require commenda-
ton from us, and his election would go
far to insure careful and economical
administration of the county's financial
affairs. Party politics should cut no
figure in this contest Cresco needs and
is entitled to the apprenticeship and
will have it if the voters of Cresco and
the township will look to their own in
terests.

Every physician knows that we may
Increase bodily suffering and even en-
gender the very diseases we most dread
by continually dwelling upon our bod
lily condition. On the other hand, we
may augment our health-power by ex
pelling discordant thought or any other
enemy Of health and happiness from
the mind, as one would eject a thief
| from his house. The mental conditions
that govern success are precisely the
| same as those that govern health and
happiness. Success is largely a crea-
ton of the mind. If we would succeed
we must frame the mind for success.
Our thoughts must be of success, not
failure. A stream cannot rise higher
than its source, and even a Raphael
could not paint the face of Christ with
Satan In his mind for model. II we
have dwelt upon the dark side and
lived In the shadows, the brain is in
capable of producing bright, helpful
mental pictures. How can one expect
to find success and happiness when one
is going in the opposite direction, con-
stantly feeding the mind with visions
Of disaster and failure? The main
spring of all effective effort Is hope.
If hope is strangled by gloomy fore
bodings there Is no incentive left. You
can anticipate failure and disaster so
long that your brain is absolutely in
capable Of giving of anything but NOR
bid thoughts. You increase dlscord by
admitting its reality, Just as you in
crease happiness by dwelling upon the
things which make you happy. So by
dwelling upon and anticipating fall
ure you Invite 1t and cause success to
fly from you. If we persistently shut
out every thought that dlscourages or
dcpresses, and keep the mind In
bright, healthy, keen condition, then
the brain cells will be clear to think
and plan and the body strong, active
and able to carry out the brains die
tates. The mind that Is unclouded by
the cobwebs Of fear and expected fail |
ure and quick to seize upon every pass-
lug opportunity or advantage, will open
the door to success. Indeed, the possess
sion Of such a spirit as this is success
itself. No material treasures that anv
man may acquire can compare with |
the treasures Of a hopeful, healthful
mind.

The publication by a London news
paper of scores of letters on "Grum
bling husbands" draws out scores OF
other letters on "Nagging Wives" The
husband who sulks or swears at the
breakfast table, the wife who over
cooks the mutton and undercooks the
potatoes, the woman who is eXtrava-
CANT and silly, and the man who is
stingy and exacting, fill the printed col
umns with their unlovely faces; but
no one seems much the happier for the
| discussion. The truth lies deeper than
any single experience Is likely to dive.
But good cooking on the part of the
wife and cheerful paying of bills on the
part of the husband, economy and gen.
erosity each in It's place, tact In the
training Of children, success in earning
good income, and a thousand circum-
mestic happiness. Even Love, the ma
gician, cannot do that although he
promises blithely to do so. Skill In
the art Of living is the essential for a
happy homeland 1t must be possessed
by both husband and wife, even though
III varying amounts. 1t is exactly like
skill in playing the piano or running a
complicated machine-to be acquired
by practice, and to be preserved by
practice. An irritable word, unregret-
ted, or a glum silence is an offense
against the art. Unsel1shness is the
very root of it. Courtesy Is its fair
blossom. The woman who has skill in
the art Of living would as soon think OF
turning drove Of swine loose in her
dainty home as of letting out there a
black herd Of reproaches and crimina-
tons The husband would bring |
thieves and outlaws under his roof as |
soon as fault-f1ndlngs and exactions.
In any large view of life these flaws |
In Its most intimate relations take ON
their true hideousness. Neither q cook /
Ing school nor college course can cure
the disease Of which they are the symp-
toms. That can be cured only by a
realization Of that divine
order by which tides and stars and
systems move In their appointed
courses, and by which discord and con-
tention meet their appointed end Of
misery and wreck.

The above is the usual verdict of the

and accommodations given merit this
statement. From Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo there are two

and st. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat

our position exactly. We have the
greatest respect for Capt Rose and for
his opinions. We do not doubt that
his article on the causes of the failure
of the st. Cloud sugar plantation. is
a statement of facts, at least so far
as he was personally acquainted with
them. Neither do we doubt that the
land is very rich and would grow good

iieve that now is the time to drain

We have no doubt that the ever
glades can be drained, but how much
will it cost? Has thorough survey
of the route and IL careful estimate
of the expense of doing tie work been
made by a competent engineer? If
the work is begun and then stopped
on account of a lack of funds it will
be a bad showing for the state. 1t
would be wiser to wait and be sure of
the cost, and that funds could be had
to finish the work Make haste slow
