Mansfield Journal: With some people 1t seems
to be Bryan or dissolution of the Democratic party
Lake Providence Banner Democrat With Bryan
at the head the Democratic party will have rocky
road to travel, is our belief.
Atchafalaya Waves: We want as little OF the
one power in Louisiana as possible, and when
the people elect man to the office, 1t should De up
to them to bring proceedings to remove MN.
Arcadia Argus: Now comes Colonel Charles
Schuer with request for S10,0 900 more for imml-
grafton work Well, in view of the horde of scabs
following the Colonels previous excursion into
ssfurrin lands,'' the Louisiana Legislature will
hardly accommodate the Colonelto another summer
outing.
Shreveport Times: From the newly elected Gen.
eral Assembly much is to be looked for. Such a
body has before it vast possibilities for adding I'M
petus to Louisianas progress along all lines With
Chief Executive of the youth, the energy, the
ambition and enthusiasm OF Jared Y. Sanders,
working in harmony with an honest and uncon-
troed House of Representatives and State Senate
the commonwealth has much to look forward to
during the coming four years.
Mansfield Journal: 1t never has paid man to
cry down an institution in his home town when that
institution is legitimate. Whether one man or a
hundred men are employed, the principle is the
same. Every man that can be drawn to town
helps that much! Everyctizen should lend to each
undertaking helping hand ''For the good OF the
town. is platform broad enough for enemies to
stand together on for factions to amalgamate, fo1
pride and supremacy to be sacrificed, and when a
man falls short of these duties he fails to do the full
part of good citizen.
Shreveport Caucasian: The Caucasian may be
somewhat extreme in it's conception OF law and
Justice, but it believes now it always has that ii
is not consistent with law and the full measure OF
Justice to railroad negro or white man through
criminal proceeding for criminal assault, which
would not be tolerated in case of wilfu murder OF
other crimes involving the penalty of death. As
to lynching by mob Of outraged citizens and g
hanging by decree of court in which the victim
has been railroaded through to his doom there is
little difference but rather than outrage law were
better to let the mob have the victim who, by such
a crime, has forfeited every sympathy OF humane
consideration. The citizens of Brookhaven were
moved to resentment and to action by the same i'm
pulse and the same spirit of decision and actor
which is characteristic OF the Cavalier. Woman
hood is sacred and must be protected at all hazard
The brute, white black, who is guilty of sucl
crime must perish and the quicker his disposal thu
better It is sufficient to say the lynching of ne
groes by white men will cease when the negro shall
cease in his attempts on white women

Protesting against the frequent mistake of divers
and sundry Democratic speakers and writer's of
referring to President Roosevelt "good Dem
crat' the Louisville Times says he personifies all
that is antagonstic to the two cardinal tenents of
the Democratic faith-a tariff for revenue only and
home rule. Roosevelt, says the Times, "personi-
fes all that is antagonistic to them. He has not
written word nor preached line against the rot
ten theories of protection which now affecting
the nation through the practical medium of the
Dingley law. With all his illumination against
rapacious wealth he has not lifted his voice his
pen denounce this Ubiquitous of trusts and
this responsible fountain of trustism. And as for
home rule, he has shown hatred for this that is
almost passion. The whole trend of his Admin
isration has been to batter down the doors and let
Federalism overrun the home grounds. He has
championed the amendment of the Constitution by
judicial construction means to overthrow the
rights of the individual States and set up the power
of the Federal Government administered by a
high and mighty President. To amend the Con-
sttution by judicial Interpretation instead CT by the
act of the great common people nothing is more
Incompatible with Democracy pure and undefed
than this abhorent project. To wipe out the SOW
eregnty of the es!-nothing is more discordant
with real Democracy than such thing"

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Atchison Globe: The time it takes to be polite is
never wasted.
Edgefeld Is. c. Advertiser: Saturday was a
red letter day in the State Senate-hfty bills were
killed.
Chicago News: The man who knows enough to
attend to his own business knows all that is worth
knowing.
Baltimore Sun: Bryan carries "good cheer' to
Ohio Democrats. Good cheer is one of his special
ties. But what the Democratic candidate will need
are votes.
Los Angeles Express Of course, one moral is
to choose legislature that will not select United
States Senator from the directory of Southern Pa
cific attorneys.
Richmond News Leader: The Florida Times
Union is finding fault because ''the Congressional
Record is again being used as a campaign docu-
ment for both parties.'' What's the odds since no
one reads it that's not compelled to.
Chicago Journal: Public and private extrava-
gance are intimately correlated Nowhere is this
more apparent than in the United States Much
that passes for prosperity in this nation is reckless
outpouring of igotten wealth. The tariff robbery
that is practiced by trusts builds up colossal for
tunes, and call that prosperity. Private thrift is
difficult in of high prices, to say nothing Of
the bad example furnished by governmental ex-
travagance that is based on an unholy alliance
with robber trusts.

the Governor of this State to make any appointment
except that of his Private Secretary. Extirpate the
evil, root and branch, and be done with it.

THE THINKING MAN.

The average man has ambition which reaches
out vagely toward a condition. but the ambition IS
rather warming for something better coupled with
a blind hope than definite purpose OF when ne
makes his daily efforts conscious part. tie mas
goal but 10 plan stretching to it. The way IS not
carefully mapped. The average man does not thlnk
far ahead of the business at hand His work IS not
studiously ordered to end. In other words, ne
has no working basis.
It is the davis work that counts. A successful
career is total of days works, each OF when lts
into scheme of progression
The man who does the work, or attends TO the
business, at hand solely for the businesss sake ana
the money it brings may be quite as capable as 'he
man who is making that business or that work
studied means to an end but he is less thoughtful
The difference is not necessarily an inherent dller
ence in intellect it is more often explained by habit
The average man can Think if he is reminded
that he ought to think, and the quality of thought
which is responsible for most material successes is
not profound or intellectual in the meaning
ordinarily given to that term; that is to say, there
is nothing forbiddngy difficult about the thinking
which brings success. The mental processes OF the
men who succeed are the simple and natural out
come OF ordinary or average experience. But those
processes are persistent, uninterrupted and strongly
habitual.
The secret of success might be defined, at least
partially as a constant and earnest consideration OF
the why and the wherefore of ones work 1t is the
man who perceves the philosophy of what ne IS
doing who does the work we'll and with profit to
himsef-and that is the principle of success. And
the philosophy underneath what most men are dong
is simple enough, plain to little thought.
The fact that very simple minded men make great
successes-and that frequently the propo-
sition that habtual exercise of the most ordinary
mental equipment is sufficient guide; while the
fact equally common, that men of magnificent IN
telectua equipment and power of thought are fail
ures notwithstanding brilliant and even prodigious
effort proves that it is the habit and not the quality
of mind which makes the successful man. Indeed,
the success Of the simple minded man and the
failure Of the broadly and brilliantly intellectual
question of what is real intellect Measured
by achievement. by benefits to his fellow man. by the
force he applies to the purpose of civilization, the
so-called simple minded, - but successful, man is
the intellectual. He is the thinking man, his are
the thoughts that count. And his success is open
to every other simple minded who will cult
vate the habit of knowing his work and working to
definite plan.
1t is profound truth that success requires nc
greater quantity of effort than is expended on fail.
ure Indeed the studious effort of success is likely
to be less than the unregulated struggle of failure
In many sense, success is easier than failure.

N. S. DECKER HONORED.
Elected President of National Asso-
ciatiOn of Rail5cdy Commissioners.
From The Tribune Bureau 7

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, Oct. S-Martin S. Decker of New
York, Public Service Commissioner of the I'd Dis
trict unanimously elected president CT the
National Association Of Railway Commissioners to-
day. Mr.. Decker previously served chairman Of
the executive committee and his election Is the
suit OF his earnest work since his connection with
the association. The other officers elected were:
h. Hodson Burr. Railway Commissioner of Florida,
first president; Charles F. Staples Railway
". H. Connolly of the Interstate Commerce Com
tary CT the Illinois Railway Commission assistant
secretary.
Mr.. Decker expressed himself as much pleased
with the work done al the meeting OF the associa-
ton which closed to-day.
The dominant feature of the proceedings" he
said, was the discussion and action which will
undoubtedly promote closer uniformity between
state laws This is certain to result in a more
practical method of cooperation between the states
and the federal government. Every report read
at the meeting dwet the necessity of this uni
formity and complained Of the delay that some
times occurs when a carrier Is brought into the
courts at the instance of state commission, par
ticularly when the carrier attempts hamper the
course OF the law by technical proceedings. The
association passed a recommendation in which it
will urge Congress the necessity of expeditng
cases against carriers which brought by state
commissions, just as they have expedited actions
brought by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
In actions brought by the Interstate Commerce
Commission the Attorney General has the power to
call a special court OF expedition in any circuit
and if there is appeal from the decision the case
goes Immediately to the Supreme Court It is the
object of the association to secure the passage Of
similar law in regard to instituted by state
commissions

NO EXTRA DIVIDEND ON NORTH PAc

As intimated by James J. Hill in interview
Wednesday, extra dividend was declared by
the directors Of the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany when they met yesterday. They declared
the regular quarterly dividend OF 1a per cent, and
also reelected the retiring officers The stock de-
cIined two points the news. but recovered about
half of this before the close. The interests who
have been asserting that extra dividend would
be declared did appear to be discouraged at
the failure of the directors to fulfil their expecta
tons declaring their belief that inal action
this question had been deferred until after cleo
ton and expressing confidence that an extra dis
bursement of at least $40 a share would be made
before the first Of the year.

COAL EXPERT ON STAND
Tells of Presidents Percentages and
DiferentidlS.

,-rs, the governments suit to dissolve the
alleged coal trust was continued yesterday in

= the stand, as he is regarded the authority
;, this country anthracite coal He furnishes

s,d 4 is from him that the operators get the
errres upon which they regulate the wages OF

With the statistics which it provides should be

mat the former meant that the coal presidents
cot roretber and agreed what would be a fair
and inst distribution OF the coal mined, and did
not know why the dTerentials were made
He collected statistics and made reports he
said Of shipments from the Philadelphia & Read

New, Jersey the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern. the Pennsylvania. the Delaware & Hudson,
the Erie and the New York, Ontario & Western.

others but got the figures Of the exact quantity
Of coal that was shipped. he furnished these fig

rsnies but ceased TO furnish statistics as. to the
50 sailed presidents percentages four years ago
because he thought they created misapprehen-
sion as Il thought they indicated quota

The figures Mr. Ruley collected he said. covered

believed meant the presidents percentages he
said:
