THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

On the evening Of the Regetta at
Poughkeepsie last spring, the stroke
oar Of the winning crew WAS aske d
how he did 1t. Easiest thing in the
world" he said. "We just took the
get-there stroke and stuck to it,"
That team had purpose and preserv.
anoe, and those two elements are fac.
tors in every truly successful career
Whether you are winning a boat
race. building up business or sell
ing line of goods. you must take the
get.there stroke aud stick to it.
Hamilton W. Nabio once said,
'There are two kinds of men in the
world-those who sail and those who
drift The men who sail know what
they want to do and why they want
to do 1t. They are men Of preserver-
ance and they pull the get.there
stroke.
But purpose in man, without the
ability to stick. is not worth the
powder to blow 1t up The clerk
who aspires to become office manager
and satisfies himself with the position
Of assistant bookkeeper, and the sales.
man who calls on few people, Sc.
cures no orders, and goes out to the
ball game, are men who have purpose
hut no perseverance. They are soon
listed among the thousands of "those
who meant WE'LL"
The man who takes it into his head
to do n thing, and does it. who first
plans his work and then works his
plan, is the man who makes good.
He takes the get-there stroke and
sticks to 1t.

WILL MAKE ALL SCHOOL
BUILDINGS IN CITY SAFE

At a special meeting Of the board
Of education Tuesday evening'it was
decided that all school buildings in
the city should be made safe for the
children at once. This action WAS
taken on account of the recent disas.
trious FIRE in Ohio in which so many
school children were burned to death
aud injured. Yesterday carpenters
started to work making the buildings
safe. Under the present arrangements
nearly all the doors In all the build
ings swing inward and they will be
taken off 80 that they will swing out
ward. As they have been for several
years. and in case of fire in the
buildings. the children would likely
become panic stricken and in max ing
rush for the door, would create
such jam that the doors would
slam shut and lock the pupils in the
buildings. By fixing the doors so
they will swing outward this danger
would be obliterated.
The fire escapes at the rear of the
buildings will also be fixed. As they
now stand they are merely an unpro-
tected flight Of steps with railings
two feet apart In case Of u rush the
children could easily fall through
these railings aud striking the ground
with violent force, some of them
might sustain severe injuries. These
will he screend to preclude any pos.
ribility of the pupils falling through
the railings.
The school board will also author
lie the teachers to put the pupils
through FIRE drill each day. This is
preparatory step to safety In case
Of fire. The action Of the board IL a
very commendable one.

has not driven capable shipbuilders
and navigators out Of business, nor re-
tarded the introduction of imported
methods of house construction nor yet
laid whitening blight of paternalism
and socialism upon the world. In view
of which we hardly understand why a
proposal to insure bank deposits should
produce such connection.
The guaranty of deposits, as enacted
in Oklahoma or as prosposed In the
Fowler bill, is simply a system of in
surance. A very small tax, or premium,
levied upon all deposits something like
forty cents on the thousand dollars, we
believe would have covered all losses
suffered by national bank depositors
through bank failures. Such insurance
| would not put good bank management
| at discount.
Nobody deposits money In any bank
unless he believes it to be thoroughly
safe. He chooses one bank rather than
another because it is more convenient
and more accommodating, or from such
reason. He would still choose the bank
that did his business most satisfactorily
and therein the good banker would still
have his advantage over the indifferent
or poor one.
Every good banker ought to favor
every proposal which would improve
the banking business as a whole, which
would increase public confidence in
banks in general, which would tend te
make every man with any money deposit
it in some bank instead of boarding it
which would lessen the probability o.
panic among depositors in unquiet times
Opposition to bank deposit insurance

clear upon that point, and all persons
who could not qualify for the primary
the same as at general election had no
right to vote.
''The primary election should be con-
sidered as a general election in this

length of time, but will have been at

Speaking in the United States senate,
Senator Culberson, of Texas, charged
that the railroads intended to put into
effect a general increase Of freight
rates and that President Roosevelt and
the interstate commerce commission had
approved of the plan. A Washington
dispatch to the Omaha WorldHerald
says: Senator Culberson laid the
matter before the senate with the init
nation that the move to increase rates
in the circumstances had attained the
character of a scandal. He said it was
being charged that the president and
the interstate commerce commission

ton of the antitrust law and of the new
railroad rate law. con February TO-,

Sick kidneys weaken the body

the close of the present fiscal year, and
with prospect of a deficit of $50 mil
lions at the end of the next fiscal year,
our entire surplus in the treasury
threatens to be wiped out, and it is al

of Indebtedness will be necessary to
meet our obligations. With this I'M

A DEMOCRATIC APPEAL,

Every democratic member of the
house of representatives has signed a
petition to the speaker requesting him to
recognize some member to move to dis
charge the committee on ways and
means from the further consideration of,
and to suspended the rules, and to pass
the Stevens bill, or any other bill, hay-
ing the effect to put wood pulp and
print paper on the free list. John Sharp
Williams, the democratic leader of the
house, goaded the republican leaders to
fury by beseeching 30 republicans, at
least to come forward and add their
signatures to the petition. He called
on those who had introduced bills for
free print paper to sign, but not one
came forward, not even those who had
made speeches in favor Of such meas
ure. Mr.. Williams made this request
for action facetiously, he knew no re-
publican would come forward to the
mourner's bench, and repudiate the
hide-bound partisanship that hangs like
pail over the deliberations of this con-
gress. He told them that:
while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return
And added:
eff you have lately been or expect tc
be, in any manner bulldozed or boss
ridden, why, think for second; think
what short life we live here and how
necessary it is that we should do things
But Mr. Williams prayer fell upon
standpat ears, and not one republican
sinner of them all came forward to show
that he really was for even this small
measure of tariff reform, even to curl
a trust that is plundering every news
paper in the United States.

votes in ALL 1t will therefore require
672 votes to nominate; and since the
rules of democratic national conven-
tions require two-thirds to nominate a
candidate, it follows that one-third or
336 votes can prevent any nomination.
This old two-t thirds rule was first
adopted as the democratic policy
through the influence of Van Buren,,
and in 1910 it defeated his own nomi
nation. Since that date the two-thirds
rule has always prevailed, so as to
provide that something approaching
unanimity for whoever is nominated
may prevent any great dissatisfaction
with the candidate selected.
