In the a~nte-bellum days, when An

his first run for congress, a bench
man of his opponent met an old min

along the road on his old horse and
hailed him with: "Who are you going

man, Il thought I should give Arson a

The MAKING Of a Journalist.

Henry H. Ashton, a Virginia City
capitalist, has in his library, richly
bound in crushed Levant, those early
volumes of the Virginia City Enter
prise to which Mark Twain contrib
uted.
The faded pages contain innumer-
able specimens of the famous writer's
quaint humor. Mr.. Ashton often
points out the first paragraph that
Mark Twain wrote on his arrival in
Virginia City. The paragraph runs:
"a thunderstorm made Beranger

It Is wen that the majority Of us

young men, anxious to make the most
of life, care to have what is common
ly known as a bad reputation" Do
you, young man, ave stop to think
that there are immutable laws that

Do you ever consider that light is

That the brilliancy of the diamond is

than the light is the luminous body,

The imitation diamond for a time
may rival in splendor and brilliancy
the reflections of light of the genuine

Character is the mold of moral con-
seriousness. 1t is the outgrowth of
the heart carefully nurtured by truth
and love and directed by intelligence
solely influenced by that which is
moral in man. 1t is by reputation
that we are to be judged by those
with whom we are thrown in either
business or social intercourse. Our
own acts are the standard by which
we will be either praised or con-
demned. Our own acts are the indica-
tons of the spirit within. Though we
sometimes we may be falsely estimat-
ed; may acquire through some m1sun-
derstood circumstance a reputation I'M
desirable. But character ever counts.
It is sure to bring to the front its
worth. The diamond may be robbed
of its brilliancy for a time by CRIME
and dirt, but it is nevertheless a dia-
mond. Your true worth may be OBJ
scured for a time, but it is sure to
become known.
Character is the greatest thing the
young mar has to guard. 1t is the only
sure foundation upon which hopes can
be rightly based. He who is true to
himself cannot be untrue to others
Would you have character and repu'
tation, you must work, constantly, un.
ceasingly, as conscience becomes dead
ened and degenerate when not exer
cised, and conscience directs the
building of character. There are
qualities in mar that mark his great
ness and his superiority-the mora,
and the mental, and it is by the exer
else of these that greatness and sue
cess are gained.

IA himself back to the good DR..
Jekyll, by the same means.
Eminent scientists to-day are expert
menting with a reagent for which they
claim the power to perform the
miracle of converting Mr.. Hyde into
DR.. Jekyll. By this mysterious power
they are making bad men good, weak
men powerful, mediocre men talented.
And the beautiful thing about this
reagent, they say, is that every one
has it in his own possession, to COM
mand at will. Only when he lacks the
will to use it, after learning the sim
pie processes of it's application, need
he employ others, skilled in the art
Of handling it, to administer it to him.
This is the claim now made for
hypnotic suggestion, that it is the one
reagent by which a man can transform
himself into the ideal of what in his
best moments he aspires to be.
For rs years DR.. John D. Quacken-
hos, former professor of psychology in
Columbia university, has been study
ing and practicing the art of curing
and reforming persons by this process.
He has treated 1000 cases by sugses,

The supreme court decision in the
rate law case will help the impulse to
Capitalization which is favored in
many quarters, but which, IN so far
as it tends, in the Judgment of an
impartial writer, to reduce state courts
to mere police magistrates and states
to police districts, will destroy the
local sovereignty of the states. Before
some of the states took the advanced
steps in railway legislation, the rail
roads were fearful of the growth of
national power over transportation
systems, and it will be remembered
fought bitterly against the bill extend
ing the powers of the interstate com

began to get active and the railroads
which had been worried on account of
Capitalization worried more over the
action of the states. They finally
concluded that it might be easier to
control one congress than forty-six
legislatures and now they are strong
for Capitalization. Attorney General
Young says the issue is vital and far
reaching. The states will have few

Mr. BRYAN AND MINNESOTA.
The following editorial is taken
from the Omaha World Herald

The following editorial is taken
from the Omaha World Herald
Complaint is made by the enemies
of Mr.. Bryan, including those alleged
democrats who mean to oppose him
when he is nominated, because he does
not permit Governor johnson to have
the unanimous and unquestioned
support of his home state in the
Denver convention. It { is plausibly
asserted that it would be only
ordinary fairness and courtesy on Mr.
Blyan's part to concede Minnesota to
Minnesota distinguished democratic
governor. It is to be hoped that none
Of Mr.. Bryan's friends will be
deceived by this sophistry.
Bryan nor any other man is in
any state whom they must support.
All that Mr.: Bryan or anybody else is
entitled to ask is that if democrats are
for him they instruct for him; if they
are for somebody else, let them
instruct for somebody else. In either
case, the rank and file must say for
themselves what candidate they want.
Mr.. Bryan has said that if the demo-
Gratis of this country want him for
their candidate he is ready to serve
them. He has made no demands in
his own behalf; it would be just as
improper for him to issue commands
to his friends-and that is what it
would amount tO-in behalf of some
body else.
In the second place, the johnson
candidacy in Minnesota is only a part
of the plan of Mr. Bryan's enemies.
IF Mr. Bryan should bring pressure
on his friends to concede Minnesota to
Governor johnson because Minnesota
is Governor Johnson's state, there
would soon be a '.favorite SON.
candidate in most, if not all the
states. And the same argument used
in Minnesota would be used to bring
it about that every state instructed for
it's own favorite SON candidate. This
would result in chaos at the Denver
convention, out of which the enemies
of true and popular democracy might
hope to bring their sinister designs
into shape and being.
'Mr. Bryan is too we'll acquainted
with the enemy to be caught by any
such trap. IF the democrats of Mime
sofa want johnson let them instruct
for him. If they want Bryan let them
instruct for Bryan. The question to
be considered not alone in Minnesota
but in every state is not where a
candidate halls from but what he
stands for. A candidates ideals,
associations, interests, sincerity, are
of far greater moment than his
geographical location. 1t is I'M
doubtedly realization of this fact
that leads many democrats in Mime
sofa to desire Mr.. Bryan's nomination
rather than that of Governor johnson.
Under the circumstances it would he
an act of poor democracy to seek to
induce them to desist from the

candidate. Hearst was nearer to the
people than Parker and we were for
him. Bryan is the candidate now
who is opposed by the same interests
who opposed Hearst and will oppose
any man who has the sand to stand up
and oppose them. The Bryanites are
for, Bryan now because they believe
he is the only man who has possible
show of carrying the United States
against Wall Street and because he is
known for twelve years to be right.

Roosevelt, who cannot be handled
