There is a gray bearded MAXIM
honored on account of its venerable
age. which runs thus: "Opportunity
knocks once at each mans door"
John j. Ingalls, once went a-son'
netting around this proverb, anu
some say he wrote the finest sonnett
ever written by an American. The
actual fact is that i'm this day OPP
portunity not only knocks at your
door but is playing an anvil chorus
on every mans door, and then lays
for the owner around the corner
with a club. The world Is i'm sore
need of men who can do things.
Indeed, cases can easily be recalled
by every one where opportunity act
ually smashed i'm the door and coll
Jared her candidate and dragged him
forth 10 success. These cases are
exceptional, usually you have to
meet opportunity half way. But the
only place you can get away from
opportunity does not trouble dead
men, or dead ones, who tatter Them
selves that they are alive. Let no
man repine on account of lack OF
early advantages. Rare-ripes run
away from advantages--they cannot
digest them. If had my say,
would set all the young folks to work
and send the old ones to school,"
said Socrates four hundred and
twenty years before Christ. What
Socrates meant was that after yOn
had battled u bit with actual life and
begun and begun TO feel your need
of education, you are for the first
time, ready to take advantage of
your opportunities and learn. Edu.
cation is the matter of desire. An
education can not be impaired, il
has to be won; and you win by
working and the benefit lies i'm the
wOrk--in the exercise.

that the best developed men are
those who get their exercise in work,
and this fact also holds: The best

The man who exercises his "sky

HIGH SCHOOL SITUATION.

The present situation at high
school calls attention to one of the
most important lessons of life. and
one which the earlier learned pro-
vfdes its possessor with a valuable
weapon for overcoming the obstacles
which arise I'M the course of every
ones life. And that is obedience.
Probably every youngi man in the ju-
nior class now on the "outs' with
Principal Ellabarger, hopes at some
time in the future to be his own
master in a business sense Of the
word. But if these young men will
take the trouble to question any bust
ness man in the city they will be in
formed that one of the first requis-
ties young man DESTROYS of succeed
ing in business must learn, is that In
order to expect obedience of others,
one must first learn the meaning of
the word, by obedience to his superb
ors. Yet right on the threshold of their
lives these young high school Juniors
are showing their ignorance of this
important rule, by acting in an in
subordinate manner to their superior,
Principal Ellabarger. Of course these
young people could be expelled by
the authorities for their insubordina-
ton, but it would be far better to
bring home to them a full realization
of the consequences of such acts upon
the development Of their characters,
and the Importance of always render
ing implicit obedience to those in au-
thority.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICANISM.

Some time ago a prominent Demo-
crt complained because the Repub-
licans are accustomed from time to
time to steal Democratic "thunder. -
He raised the objection that the rail
road rate and pure food bills were of
Democratic origin, and that the Re-
publicans are taking advantage of
the business and popularity of these
two measures to make them laws.
The complaint of this man shows two
things, first the impractical ideas Of
the prominent men at the head of the
Democratic party, and also the pro-
gressive spirit of the Republicans.
An example from everyday life will
make this point clear. Suppose two
men are competitors in the same line
of business, and one of them origi-
mates new idea which gains him
many newS customers. The other
man if he isa good business man, will
be quick to@seize upon his rivals
idea and incorporate it into his own
business. Maybe, as In most cases,
he will be Sble to improve upon the
idea, so as 70 render his application
of it more valuable to customers, and
in this event he will probably secure
many of his competitors customers.
This is the case with the Republic
can and Democratic parties. There
is slight difference, however, and
that is that while the Democrats oc-
casionally originate some idea of I'M
doubted benefit to the country, it is
generally so sandwiched in by the
usual fantastic and impractical
doctrines of the party, such as ssfree
silver" and "free trade as in no
way to be capable Of staving off the
accustomed slaughter of the Demo-
Gratis every four years. Then it is
that the Republicans show their good
bushes acumen, and taking hold of
the Democrats good idea, make it a
law under a Republican, administra-
ton. Were the Republican party
not actuated by the spirit of prog

My Dear President Palma: I de-

Cuban congress for its touching and
generous memento of the marriage of
my daughter. Beautiful as was the
glft, the sentiment which, prompted

full, and more to be valued, Neither
yourself, Mr.. President. nor the 9TH

the independent nations of the world.
The Cuban republic has maintained
peaceful relations abroad and order
at home. 1t has shown the most
generous spirit towards lis soldiers,
who fought for Independence. II
has provided ample means for educa,
ton and it has constructed public
works. Under these conditions it
has naturally seen its great wealth
develop and its people progress by
leaps and bounds. I congratulate
you with all my heart, thanking You
and them, and desiring all possible
blessings in the future for you and
them. : Believe me sincerely ,yoar

MAJOR "RENIGS.'

In another column of the Palla-

Charles Major, of "When Knight

explains a few things in regard to
the political situation in this district
Mr.. Major declares that he is not a
congressional candidate subject to
the Democratic nomination, nor does
he want any other Office. Such action
on the part of man who has even a
remote chance of being an office
holder is surprising, and all the more
so when it appears that the Office
urged by the Democrats fairly sought
the man. Yet after all, further con-
sideration of the case shows that the
man who had brain enough to write

which still remains to be disposed

it is practically certain that the deal
will be consummated.
