Are JubIlant Now.

Anti-Bryan people here were jubilant
when they read in newspapers this Morn
ing that Gov. John a. Johnson, of Mime
sofa. had shown himself 10 be an athlete
yesterday at Old Point Comfort, Va. The
story that he turned two double somer-
saults in diving from a springboard into
the swimming pool at the ChamberlIn
Hotel will help him tremendously, they
say. with people who have been trained
in the last seven years TO demand physi-
cal dexterity Of their popular heroes.
Mr.. Bryan Is no athlete, they say, and
by no possibility could he make the kind
Of dive that Mr.. Johnson made. And il
Johnson Is nominated. according 20 their
contention, he would be far better
equipped to win the plaudts Of the voters
than any Republican likely to be chosen
to run against him.
II is out Of the question for Mr. Taft 10

II Is admitted that Mr.. Roosevelt has
turned a few somersaults. these it is
pointed out, are not OF the kind calcu-
lated 10 win popular approval.

The fault is very often laid to the

THE PACKING HOUSE PROJECT.

Every citizen OF Amarillo has a
duty TO perform in the matter OF So
curing the packing house for the
city. There are many who are H.
nancially unable to subscribe for
stock but they must not shirk their
share of the labor OF securing the
industry any more than the capitalist
must shirk his. Those who cannot
aid with their subscriptions can at
least give freely OF their influence
and encouragement.
Now that the committees are sollc-
itlng purchases of stock In small
shares, Il is the privilege OF the small
business man and land holder to con-
tribute his mite. The committees
are not soliciting aims nor are they
asking a bonus for this great enter
prise--an enterprise so big that our
citizens do not fully grasp the pos
sTbilites OF II. It is a business prop
osition backed by the most conserva-
tive business men OF the city. As a
business investment the matter has
been thoroughly threshed out and
there now remains no question as
to It's deslrability as high class In
vestment that will eventually pay big
dividends.
But 1t does yet remain for the citi-
Eens OF Amarillo to concentrate their
efforts--to work as unit--and all
together pull for the speedy estab-
lishment Of this industry that will
do more to promote the eity's growth
than any project that has been before
us since the building of the railroads
into the city.
The man who does not do his share
now is not loyal TO his town and
should stand abashed in the sight OF
the earnest, jealous and public
spirited few who are giving 80 freely
OF their time and money In this
cause. No man can afford to ignore
popular sentiment. And popular SEN
timent is favorable to the establish
ment OF the packing house, He who
ehirkS now must ultimately feel the
stigma of having served as a clod In
the pathway OF the wheel OF prog
Sess.
II is gratifying to note the cheer
fulness and unflinchingness with
which the subscription committees
are meeting the cold water receptions
that are encountered In certain
places Such spirit is little short OF
heroic and, when the contemplated
buildings are erected, they should
stand, in the eyes OF the great mass
OF American people who are benefit
ted by the industry, a monument to
the tireless energy and public spirit
Of the men who are responsible for
their being.

Why Immigrants Like America.

Why Immigrants Like America
Professor Emil Reich says, Few

Secret causes of the fact that the
Yankees asslmllate, without even
thinking OF It or without troubling
much about II, millions Of Europeans,
not ! per cent or whom could have
been really assimilated in Europe by
the English, the Germans or the
French.
Millions Of Germans become in
the United states rsbid Yankees in
the course OF a few months without
any Americans SO much as asking
them to do 80, while all the wisdom
and power OF the Prussian govern
ment have these hundred years been
unable to assimilate hundred thou

mo, sir" In Europe the honor Of
being addressed by sir" has never
been done him, although he was al
ways expected to "sir" every better
dressed person speaking to him. For
years this had ranked in his heavy
soul, and now a new flood OF sensa-
tons shoot to his heart and brain,
and in that very moment he is a new
man.
THE Americans are quite unaware
that that meaningless "sir" has done
more for the assimilation OF millions
OF European newcomers than have
all the paragraphs OF the American

Nothing falls like success.

Nothing falls like success.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
Under the new revolution Of
thought or feellng-for II is as yet
more feeling than a thought-we
are coming to realize that life is
more than meat and raiment; that
II Is one thing TO make living and
quite another to make a life; that
peryerslon OF business morals and a
mad chase after special privilege and
tainted dollars Is not success, but
abject failure
Because such system degrades
men and defies dollars.
We are coming to realize that ig-
noble success is only successful fall
ure; that noble failure is success.
We have been slow to learn these
Things, But a change is surely com
ing over the spirit OF our dreams
We are learning that lying and cheat
ing in business life, the methods Of
"irenzied finance" the giving OF
grants and immunities to the riotous
rich, the practices OF rebating and
Of graft are destroying the ideals Of
our people and we are demanding a
reform.
Just what practical remedies shall
be adopted, just what leaders shall
be selected 10 make those remedies
effective, cannot be affirmed, but the
important thing is not SO much the
ways and means OF reform as the APP
parent need Of reform, the desire for
reform, the determination to secure
reform.
Let us thank God and take cour-
age,
We have new and better defini-
ton OF success
Let us be glad that we have within
us the spirit of self publication.
