A Young Mans First Failure.

A Young Mans First Failure.
I have always watched with great
interest q young mans first failure.
It Is the index Of his life, the meas
ure of his success power. The mere
fact of his failure does not interest
me much but how did he take his
defeat ? What did he do next =?
Was he discouraged? Did he stink
out of sight? Did he conclude that
he had made a mistake in his call
ing, and dabble in something else ?
Or did he up and at it again with a
determination that knows no de-
feat ?-Orison Sweet Marden.

SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

For several months the Demo-
cratic press has charged that Roose-
velt's policies have caused an uneasi-
ness in the business world and has
affected the business of the country.
The policies referred to were the
attacks made on the methods Of
many of the big corporations. The
Standard Oil Company has been
prosecuted and fined for violating
the law, railroads have been fined
for accepting rebates, the Tobacco
Trust has been prosecuted, grafters
have been placed behind prison bars.
and the business world has been
purged. If all these reforms have
caused uneasiness in the business
world, then il is we'll to have the
uneasiRess, and when we settle down
to business again it will be on q
solid foundation, and the grafters,
skin games and the monopolists will
be no more, but every business man
will have fair and equal showing.
In view of the stand taken by the
Democratic press we were surprised
to see the following copied from
Newell Dwight Hills in Sundays
News and Observer as a "Morning
Tonic"
It is not only morning tonic but
is good to take three times a day,
and is not even necessary to shake
we'll before using. 1t shows that
the Democrats have been wrong in
their position and that the Presi-
dent has been doing untold good,
the results of which we shall reap
in the future. The Tonic follows
"Many men are discouraged be.
cause of the daily exposure of graft
and corruption in business. But all
these exposures, so far from justify
ing pessimism are signs of progress
When the measles come out in great
blotches on the face the patient
looks badly, but the real danger ap-
pears when the measles strike in
and disappear, leaving the skin
smooth and the blood foul. Up in
New England when the autumn
leaves fall, the farmer cleans out the
great spring on the hillside. Lift
ing his spade above that spring, the
farmer looks upon water that is
clear to the eye, but that holds
within its depth the decay of leaves
When an hour has passed, and the
exposure of mud is over, the water
is soily and the child thinks the
spring is ruined forever. But all
the time the water comes down oui
of the mountain and gushes through
some cleft is pure and sparkling
ana once the mouth Is cleaned the
spring runs sweeter and pure toward
the house and on into the sea thai
awaits it. Everywhere men are
saying that the country is besotted
that men are sodden in materialism
that every man has his price, tina
graft is universal, and yet, at this
very hour, the country is passing
through the greatest moral and in
tellectusl awakening it has evel
known. Never were there so many
honest merchants and manufacturers
never so many honest financiers ane
railroad men; never were working
men so Intelligent, upright and dis
interested. Any darkness there il
on the horizon is morning daylight
and not evening tWilight."-NeWel
