HAVE YOU ENEMIES?

Go straight on and don't mind
them, If they get in your way,
walk round them regardless Of
their spite. A man who has no
enemies is seldom good for any
thing; he is made of that kind of
material which is SO easily worked
that every one has a hand in it. a
sterling character is one who
thinks for himself, and speaks
what he thinks; he is always sure
to have enemies. They are as
necessary to him as fresh air; they
keep him alive and active, a
celebrated character who was sur
rounded by enemies used to re-
mark: "They are sparks which,
if you do not blow, will 60 out of
themselves. olive down pref
udice,' was the Iron Dukes mot
to. Let this be your feeling
while endeavoring to live down
the scandal of those who are bit
ter against you. If you stop to
dispute, you do but as they de-
sire, and open the way for more
abuse. Let the poor fellow talk
there will be a reaction if you
perform but your duty, and hund-
reds who were once alieniated
from you will flock to you and
acknowledge their error.

Financial Panic-Nonseuse!

The following article from the Tat
tier house organ OF the Star Clothing
Manufacturing Company, on the money
scare, contains a good deal that is true,
and is deserving Of reading;
The little scare that has swept o, er
the country during the past two weeks
has seemed ridiculous in the extreme
TOT Because few bank president
stock gamblers, in New York, have
ruined their banks and lost the pco,
pies money, why should the Western
farmers and merchant get scared? We
have just as much money now as we
had 30 days ago, and everything we
have to sell is worth as much money,
to-day, as il was then.
OF course, this little scare may have
hammered down prices some, but that
is due to the scare and not to the real
values. If we people Of the country
will let Wall street stampede us so
easily, we may expect this kind OF
trouble any time, but we should get
above that. We should say to them:
Fight it out; dog eat dog, but we will
go on with our business in the same
old way We have market for our
corn, our wheat, our hogs, horses, etc,
in fact, anything we have to sell; then
why We should be stampcded we fail to
see.
Why should our farmers and me.
chanies suddenly become afraid Of their
home banker and draw out their sav.
ings? Any prosperous, go-ahead bank
in the country loans out your money
and is not expected to have it on hand
at Il moments notice, and you can en-.
barrass most any OF them by starting
rumors ana asking to withdraw in cash.
On the whole, however, We think the
scare, which is only u bubble, will per.
haps do good. We have, all, been
plunging too much, and this will set Us
to going little slower and more eau
tiOusly, which will do good, In fact,
we need to observe the lesson, but
there is no more danger OF real 03
panic than there is Of the New York
gamblers learning u little sense aud
quitting the game.
AS TO ourselves, we are not in the
least alarmed, We have had several
orders cancelled. One customer,
whom we thought the most solid aod
substantial we had on opr books, can
celled by wire. We can understand
Why some small merchant might he
come alarmed, but not the big fellow
who is supposed to know more Of the
real conditions. We shipped more
goods and booked moro business last
month than we ever did in single
month, during our business experience,
and we have advised our salesmen to
go on after it just as il nothing had
ever happened. If you, and every
other man west Of the Ohio river,
would do the same thing we would be
going along just as We We're before and
feel MS securf a. We ever did, We are
Independent OF any other section of the
country, and the earlier we realize this
to be fact the better for us.

"There is always room enough

there is. It's better to be a first

TlMlD PEOPLE

1t is the habit Of some people to
laugh at the terror which is ex-
perienced by others at the heavy
thunder. crash or the flashing
lightning. This is both cruel and
wicked, since the victim is no more
to blame for it than for the color
of his eyes and hair--in fact, like
them, it is otter hereditary. Such
persons should be pitied and
soothed, and allowed during these
periods TO be always near some
one whom they love and confde
in. More especially is this true Of
children, some of whom suffer
more than words can tell from this,
as we'll as other causes Of fear.
Deal gently with such; it is the
only way to eradicate their fears;
ridicule and harshness will only
confirm them. The child "afraid
of the dark" should never be en-
forced to encounter it unattended
and unmatched. Idiocy has often
been the sad result of contrary
treatment. Let both parents and
teachers, then, be thoughtful in
these regards.

Resources OF Fremont County

Editors note: The Easter
Idaho Press Club has for its terri
tory, the ten eastern counties of
Idaho, and meets three times a
year. Its purpose is to give the
editors an outing during which
they can learn something of the
territory outside of that in which
they do their principal work, to
study the resources, the conditions
under which people work, the
methods pursued, and to get &C
quainted with each other and the
people in the neighboring terri
tory. The people in the locality
where the meeting is held, show
. the "pencil pushers" some of the
resources of the land, and the
editors go back home and sprint
things" about what they have seen
so that folks at home may get the
benefit of tn Re ir observations.
