Why One Loses Friends.

The Merchants Journal
Friends are scarce. Good
friends are great riches. They
like riches must be closely guard
ed or they will depart. A man
should be loyal to a friend and re-
cognize the strange trait in hui
man nature that your friend ex-
poets more of you than anyone
else. A friend lives in your sun
shine and in your shadow. He
stands by you because you have
stood by him. He is not to be
classed with that kind of a per-
son which is referred to when a
man says: Your friends CD
forget you, your enemies never
do" There is a real truth in this
saying because men have few
real friends and the question
mark is proper to be placed after
some designated by that good
Word-friend.
That a man has few real
friends is not due to the fact
that mankind is not worthy of
good will but rather to the fact
that the proper attention is not
given to cultivating and main
tanning such relations. In the
supreme selfshness OF man to
achieve he loses sight of his re-
latlOn to his fellow man.
The way to make friends is a
natural instinct born in all hui
man beings. Why one loses
friends has been we'll expressed
in the following paragraphs of
Orison Sweet Marsden:
He always wounded their feel
ings, making sarcastic or funny
remarks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in
his manner, cranky, gloomy,
pessimistic.
He was suspicious of every
body.
He never threw the doors of
his heart wide open to people, or
took them into his confidence.
He was always ready to re-
ceive assistance from them, but
/ always too busy, or too stingy to
> assist them in their time of need.
, He regarded friendship as a
luxury to be enjoyed, instead of
; an opportunity for service. He
never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very founda.
ton stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth
while to spend time in keeping
! up his friendships.
l He did not realize that friend
!, ship will not thrive on sentiment
| alone; that there must be service
E to nourish it.
He did not know the value Of
! thoughtfulness in little things.
1 He borrowed money from
them.
He was not loyal to them.
He never hesitated to sacrifice
: their reputation for his advan
l. tage.
/. He was always saying meal
things about them in their alb.
sence.
He measured them by their alb
r. lllty to advance him.

BRYAN AND CHRISTIANITY
A 'SimonPure" Democrat Makes
Some Observations About the
Democratic and Republican
Candidates for President.

To Inc Editor of The RobeBonian.
Please allow "Simon Pure"
Democrat to give vent to his
feelings through your valuable
columns, as | see 50 much Vacil-
alton among the so-called Demo
Gratis. What is the matter when
| hear a man say, Il am a Dem
o.at, but | don't think Bryan
can be elected; and if he should
be, it would be for the worse; it
would cause a great panic?" If
his election will cause a panic, let
the panic come. If the Southern
. ople will act wisely we can
never have a panic to do the
South any harm. We have plen-
ty of gold and silver, copper and
iron, and with our manufactures
together with the most fertile
country in the world, we can get
along with less help from any
other source than the North; and
if our people of the Southland
will only make use of their God
blessed opportunity we WILDE the
most independent people on the
face of the earth. Mr.. Bryan is
an honest Christian gentleman,
and the wisest man, or one OF
the wisest men, in this great
nation. And the wisest body of
American counselOrs nominated
him as the standard bearer OF
the party, and in spite of all the
weakened, sore-head, locust
back Democrats, he will be elect
ed President of these United
States Just as sure as he lives tC
see the sun emerge from behind
the eastern waters on the first
day of next November. He had
a great man, yes, a good man, as
his competitor in 1896 and 1900
but now, alas, he has nothing
but an old figure-head, one thai
is not even member of any
chuch. 1t is said his parents
were Unitarians, which is ;
thousand times worse than NJ
church; and we read in the Bible
that when the wicked rule thu
people mourn. In the face of al
this Scripture, how can a Christ
ian nation turn it's back upOl
Gods word and support such
man as Mr.. Taft, who has live
without God in all his thoughts
Then is it not far better an
safer for our great God-blesse
nation to be entrusted to tn
care and administration of on
who is God-fearing and Goo
serving? If this question coul
be propounded to the Christia
Churches from Maine to Cal
fornia, we would hear the al

from one man, saying, "ye
yes" Then, fellow comradt

MR. s1RAUs WILL PRESIDE

Washington, Nov. 2S.--(Speciai. )-- Secretary Oscar s. Straus. of the De- partment Of Commerce and Labor. has announced that he will preside over the first session of the Southern Com mercial Congress in the New Willard Auditorium, in Washington, December z. There is peculiar fitness in this an. nouncement as Mir. Straus is Geor- Eian by birth. He will be supported on the platform by the Senators of the Southern States and by many Ambas- sadors and ministers. The subject to be treated In the first session are southern Health Conditions" and the "Infiuenee of the Panama Canal" The first of these two subjects is fnterna- tionai in importance because in for eign. countries there Is much misap- prehension regarding the South as a safe place of residence for foreign eIn- 1grants.
 The presiding officers of the other sessions of the Southern Commercial Congress. will be the heads of the lead ing commercial organizations in New Orleans, St. Louis, Richmond. Atlanta and Jacksonville.
 The program of the Southern Com mercial Congress may be correctly spoken of as unique. Every speech deals with some facts Of the South's possessions or possibilities and the invitation to speak has been sent only to the man whose word on the subject assigned to him would carry unques- ffonable weight. Not a single speaker appears on the program selected Tor policy's sake.
 Southern health conditions. climate and temperature will be treated by Surgeon General Walter Wyman of the United States Marine Hospital Ser vice. as his utterances will be above all suspicion of special pleading and beyond all successful controversion.
 The great subject of the Panama Ca- nal and it's influence on the commeg- cial development of the nation will be spoken to by Hon. Luke B. Wright. Secretary of War. Secretary Wright has taken this subject at the direct

Pope Is COm@1UeEAn& AUG G1~@hV8 VI Cardinals.
 Rome, Nov. 2s.--The Pope has aban- doned the Idea of holding a consistory in the month of December.
 This decision has been reached part ly because of the difnculty of choosing the new French Cardinals and partly because the Pontiff desires the termi- nation of the discussion of the educa- ton bill in England before he creates a British Cardinal.
 Tn the meanwhile the Pope will profit by the presence in Rome of Archbishop Glennon, of St. Louis and the forthcoming visit of Archbishop Ireland to study the matter af the American episcopacy. with a view of creating another American Cardinal.
 Bishop Emard of Valleyfield, Canada, and Sidney Fisher, the Canadian Min ister of Agriculture, were presented to the Pope today. MT. Fisher went first to see the Pope after having asked an audience of King Victor Emmanuel and this fact has created considerable comment.
