Arthur P. German.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.

DSiCJuOIS
We know OF no man in public life
whom the country could less afford
TO lose at this juncture than Arthur
z. German. Well-balanced Judgment,
experience in legislation, ability to
recognize that measures ideal in the
DRY may be disastrous in practice,
and wise conservatism in dealing with
questions appearing in new forms,
though essentially old, are just the
qualities most called for now in the
national Congress-, where for many
years as United States Senator from
Maryland Mr.. German had been a
conspicuous figure and had rendered
signal service to his country by the
exercise of such gifts. There was
nothing of the spectacular about Mr..
German. There was little OF the arti-
fetal. He was largely a self-made
man OF strong native traits, which
he utilized to the utmost in self-ad-
vancement and which were thorough
ly appreciated by other great men
whenever there was occasion for a
sale and sane leadership in the Sen
ate, leadership not merely look
ing to the things of the present, but
compromising distant consequences.
The Senate will miss his common
sense counsels and his wonderful skill
IN bending men to his purposes. His
native State will miss the services of
one who did it honor in the national
The South will treasure
the grateful memory of one who
stood by it manfully in ali hour of
dire ne -;essity. The country will feel
The loss OF one of it's really great and

Four Fundamental Desires

THERE is love paternal, conjugal. pre- or post

edge at its highest love of God. Even it is with
honor and power. But whatever the subdivisions
may be- it may be stated with fair completeness that
the four great desires just mentioned constitute
when realized by individual, singly conformity,
what is called success in life
These four desires are fundamental; they are
the essence Of man. Let keep that firmly
in mind. For if it be true, as undoubtedly it
is, that the objects of success in life are things
essential indispensable. fundamental, then it be
comes increasingly difficult to admit that their
realization is matter of mere chance.
We have thus returned to the original query:

do not doubt it.

1t would be the easiest thing in the world to quote
endless passages from the writings of great and sue

that success is not a result of mere chance ONLY

Definition of Success

DROBABLY the average reader, before going into
this deep question, will first of all insist on a
definition of success. 1t is a curious and most sig
nihcant thing that the ordinary hearer at lecture
the reader of a book is in nineteen cases out of
twenty, at eager for a definition. At hundreds
of discussions after a lecture the writer has in
variably heard expression of this desire for
verbal descriptions of persons. events, ideas that
in their very nature rebeous to the fencing in
by means of definition.
Philosophy teaches few things with greater force
than the fact that complete definitions be given
only OF things abstract and theOretc; e.g of CON
cepts in geometry, physics, formal logic. As
soon touch things not abstract, as soon as we
reach life proper definitions will work Already

its death-dealing missile. KemPer went down man

down the line calling encouragement to the men.
Artillery made faint effort to support the assault,
but ammunition failed. The light pieces which
were to have guarded the infantry had been
removed by some to another part of the
field, and none could be found TO take their place.
Dauntlessly Pickett's men pressed forward, as

COolly and beautifully the movement was executed
though the direct fire of one hundred Federal guns

which seemed to grow stronger with the cOncentra-
ton of the will and courage of all who had fallen.
