addressed the joint session Of the
Mississippi Legislature. returning
thanks to that body for his election

"Would any standpatters in Iowa allow
his conscience to work overtime in the
interest of Senator Allison if there
were another candidate available who
was thought to be strong enough to
defeat Governor Cummins for the u.

Often powned, Seldom Out.
(Denver Republican,


There is no other country in the
world in which the words business
failure" mean as little as in America
In the older and more cautious nations
Of Europe, where all business is along
more conservative lines, the man who
falls is usually down and out" He
either blows out his brains or takes
to drink and makes himself bore to
his friends telling about the days of
his prosperity. Europe is full of
shabby genteel' persons who have
seen better days and who have not the
faintest idea of going to work to make
those days come back again. Such a
miserable exhibition of cowardice does
not appeal to the American. All the
American business man asks for is
good health and a fair field and he will
consider failure as a mere incident
that gives one valuable experience to
be utilized in the future. The man who
is bowled over today is UP and on his
feet and in the center of the struggling
throng tomorrow.
