n definite aim, a purpose, is as
essential 10 success in any un-
dertaking as energy and compe-
teney. one of the main reasons
Of failure in three-fourths Of our

went through the forms of an
education and enter the business
or professional world without any
special purpose. Ii a young man
begins an occupation with mere
y the vague ambition 10 MAKE a
living there will be one chance
in a hundred for him to rise above
mediocrity.
There Is scarcely an instance
to be found in history where men
and women attained emineaee,
out what some fixed purpose was
the inspiration which generated
patience and persistence. which
are indispensable factors 20 true
greatness. There has never been
a great general, an able STATES
man, or a president of our own
nited States, who did not al
some time purpose to he a leader
Of men, and stuck to the deter
minaton. There was never .
great artist who didn't frs. CON-
bine a high idea with a firm re-
solve to attain it; nor a forceful.
and influential writer who didn't
purpose something to tell and
manage 10 tell it.
But with all these bright ex-
amples before US. we meander
through our best davs
with no object beyond a comfort
able existence. We start into a
work because it Is a necessity
and stick 10 it as long a. il al
lords the means of making the
financial tongue and buckle meet
A fixed purpose to stand at the
head OF whatever We do would
entirely change our manner ~
work as well as the results. For
a definite purpose Is half of the
battle.
A noble, worthy purpose in

live the best lives we can and 10

surely the world would be bene-
n.'ed oy such a purpose, though
We might never acquire fame or
fortune.

I'D. EAGLE: Our District Con-
gressional election, like a hay
sunrise, is booming above the no-
litical horizon. Candidates, how
ever, seem slow To announce.
There is but one Richmond in
the field. Has ambition pail
ed upon the spirits Of our young
aspirants, or have they decided
10 let well enough alone.
Public Indifference is the chief
source II political eyil;thc prin-
ciple cause Of impoient or in-
competent government, with its
usual accompaniment of graft.
Indifference VI ignorance Of the
qualifications of candidates or
issues at stake are progenitors Of
misgUvernment.
Two often the cry is heard. 81
do not know anything about the
man or the office. / am not a
politician, We have too much
politics anyhow" And too Of
ten he cry is needed for the good
OF the common welfare. Our
yeomanry will fight to the last
gasp o! life against a foreign foe:
men why not tight against cor
ruptien and graft at home. This
does not imply the one or the
other in our local Offices. Not at
all. IL Il impossible to have too
much politics Of the right kind.
and By tho right kind is meant
that the individual citizen should
inform himself OF all that may be
possible TO learn, both of candi-
dates ana Issues, that when the
day OF election arrives he NAV
have a clear understanding OF
his duty. Duty to himself and .
duty to his country. And this
duty should be reinforced by
prompt payment Of poll tax and
registration.
Naturally, better government
would follow, better men would
serve the people. The person
whose record was tainted. or one
whose past was such that his
character or intentions would be
n menace 10 the welfare OF his
constituency, would be rejected
by the electors.
Seemingly, this should be the
political conditions in every cam
paign. The good citizen. the
yeomanry OF our country especi-
ally, IN their country retreats.
should have as much pride and
interest in the work Of the ..olf''
years as when the most import

This feeling is too general for
public good. Only when the
citizen assumes proper response
biiity and exerts necessary ener-
~ can the standard Of public
servants be raised. Then would
efhce holders consider not what
they desired, but what the peo-
pie wanted. Il is the duty Of
every citizen TO regard his polit.-
cal right as sacred. II he will
do 50, he never will ignore the
call Of political duty.

V a GOOD TIME.

There are as many ways oi
having a good time as there are
kinds II people in the world. \

an afternoon fishing with a few
nibbles by way Of encourage

pic country lass regards a picnic

A bookworm finds his best
time pouring over musiy VOL

equal delight in the pursuit u
some special branch Of knovl-
edge. 4 good time u al evan
selist means a spiritual awaken
