NECESSITY OF SACRIFICES.

What can l do to attract the atten-
ton and place ME in the ''limelight'
among my schoolmates, friends and
teachers? This is a question which
most every boy and young man asks
himself.
If he does not excel his classmates
in some one branch of his studies he
will then turn his energy and ambi-
tons toward athletics with the hopes
OF there establishing for himself re-
putation which will make him prom
inent factor in school life.
So in Industrial life, We find this
same spirit pervading the hearts of
men and women. 1t is not the man
who has dropped into rich heritage
who receives the admiration and
praises of his countrymen but rather
the man who, from boyhood. has with
stood this world with it's bluffs and
scorns and finally landed himself
among the leading iinanciers or poll
ticians of this country.
Their desire to be champion
among their fellowmen we will al
ways find, upon examination. was their
chief and leading characteristics
1oci,o m curoo forurord iuct n 1;f}la
further than their present condition
a desire to do a triae better than
what they have just accomplished
an unsatisfied spirit. 1t is just this
ever pressing desire of forward mo-
ton which places him in the foremost
ranks and holds him there.
But all this success cannot be Sc
cured without some degree of sacri-
fice-without some losses. Like the
athlete in training he must sacrifice
some he must give up some of the
rights which other men legitimately
enjoy but in the end is he not amply
repaid for what sacrifices he has
made?
He who desires to receive the
praises and admiration of his fellow
countrymen must not be satisfied with
mediocrity. If he does he will plod
along amidst the dense throng un-
noticed. AS Horace, the old Greek
poet said: "The youth who hopes the

STOCK
CONVENTION
Tenth Annual Meeting of Ma
tional Association Opens in
Denver, Col.
THE LARGEST IN ATTENDED
EVER HELLO IN THE j. S.
Northwestern States Are More Large.
~ Represented Than Those OF South
or East-Car Shortage Problem
Will be Discussed Along With Other
Questions That Arc More Technical.


Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Denver, Col, Jan. 22-The tenth
annual convention OF the National
Live Stock associations which began
in this city today, is the largest in
point of attendance ever held by the
association. Leading stock men from
Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado, the Dakotas, Nebraska and
numerous other states filled the Broad
way theatre this morning when the
gathering was called to order by
President Murdo Mackenzie.
After the usual welcoming addresses
had been made and responded to and
the convention formally organized,
T. w. Tomlinson read the official call
for the gathering, which was in part
as follows:
The executive committee and Off
GERS of this association congratulate
the members on the results achieved
during 1906, especially in the passage
of the railway rate bill, comforting on
the interstate commerce commission
adequate power over rates, and also
in the amendment to the federal
statutes extending the time limit in
which life stock can be held on cars
in transit from twenty-eight to thirty
six hours. Our association is now
recognized as a great power in live
stock matters and it has attained that
position through a policy of conser-
vatism and fairness"
The present convention will remain
in session over tomorrow and it is
possible the proceedings may run over
third day as more than the ordinary
number of important matters are, to
be brought up for discussion and ac-
ton.
Some of the principal subjects to
receive attention are the cost of meat
inspection, sanitation, better service
from stock yard companies, the suits
now pending before the interstate
commerce commission relative to GER
tain live stock rates, and the exteu.
sion OF the European market for
American live stock products.
The existing shortage of cars has
hit the stockmen hard in certain Sec
tons of the country, and they are
anxious that legal provision be made
requiring the railroad companies to
maintain their equipments and rolling
stock SO that car famine will become
impossible.
Forest reserves is another subject
that will receive more or less atten-
ton from the association. Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the bureau of fores-
try, is here to confer with the live
stock men and to listen to any COM
plants about the administration of the
forest reserves. The cattlemen have
some grievances left over, but they
are fewer and of less serious nature
than might have been expected. A
plan to divide the available public
lands into districts and allot them for
grazing purposes is being discussed
among the delegates.

JUDGE pOLLAHD'S PLAN.

Judge Pollard OF ST. Louis. when he
took his seat four wears ago. as Judge
OF the police court. inausurated the
plan of offering men arrested for
drunkenness lie alternative OF the
punishment prescribed by law or Of
signing the following pledge:
Second District Police Court, City OF
ST. Louis, Mo. VIM. Jeff Pollard,
Judge.
AS evidence OF my appreciation OF
the opportunity given me by the judge
of the above named court to become
a sober and better citizen, in staying
the fine imposed upon me this day.
l hereby freely and voluntarily sign
the following
PLEDGE
will abstain from the Use of in
toXicating liquors of every kind and
character for the period Of. ..... from
date -. day of .......... l90..
..............
Only two out OF every ona hundred
who have taken the pledge have broE-
en- it. Many who formerly spent their
earnings in debauchery arl made
their homes wretched are now good
citizens, supporting their families and
living sober Industrious lives.
This plan is receiving hearty com
mendation wherever adopted. Even
the English magistrates are adopting
Judge Pollard's plan of reforming the
drunkard and the English reform
party has adopted plank recoFmenl,
ing Judge Pollard's plan.
The plan as pursued by Judge Pol
lard is to require the drunkarl to
take a pledge for one year and, if he
be laboring man, to call at his resi-
dence at the end Of each week and
report his success in keeping his
pledge. The Judge, on these visits,
takes this occasion to give the cuiprit
some encourag ing talks. These talks,
no doubt, is the key to his SUCCESS.
The mere taking of the pledge would
bear but little fruit, but the fact that
the culprit must make weekly re-
port of himself together with the
pleasant environments once each week

ing to the weak and educational in its
effects. How few, though, are willing
to spare the time or "be bothered"
with these reports. Out of hundred
judges who undertake this plan not
many will succeed as has Judge Pol
lard, because they are not thoroughly
unselfish as he is; because they are
not so thoroughly imbued with tie
reform spirit as he; because, per-
