Why is it that so many of our peo-
pie will aspire and accept of positions
that they are not qualified to fill.
Are they not aware that each and
every failure Injuries us as a whole
people Whilst we do not condemn
any one for trying to better their
condition we must learn that very
few employers are willing to hire in
experienced workmen, pay them the
highest wages and allow them to
keep the positions in which they are
not able to make good. Let us quail
ify ourselves before we accept a pO-
sition then we will succeed.
1t has been asserted by some mar
row minded persons that the New
Age is partial in giving items of a
social nature. We desire to correct
any erroneous impression that may
exist in that direction. The columns
of this paper are always open for
the publication of items of social
nature or anything that will tend to
elevate or build up our people. We
permit our paper to be used to vent
little petty animosities or personal
spite. AS it is not possible for the
reporter to be omiscient we would be
pleased to have items of interest sent
so as to reach this Office not later
than Thursday noon If intended for
the current issue.

this element he was severely handled
by 'the gang and only by the timely
arrival of a regular officer was he
saved from serious bodily harm. On
the failure of the municipal court to
nunish the offender the special Of1cer
decided that If he was not to be sup
ported in his efforts to keep peace by
the authorities, he had better re-
sign ere he received more serious IN
juries.
