CONFIDENCE THE REQUISITE
FOR WOMEN WHO WOULD WIN
Many Fail to Admit Their Weakness and Are Not Ambitious
Enough to Conquer It and Thus Succeed.

kkTW - AN is his w star" says the poet and when study the success

money. The rogues do that, chiefly, and the honest man only once in a while,
but w e acknowledge the successful ia whether his bank account is $1,000 or
s. 100000. His success is apart from that; still, the mar OF business must be

To be essar n must first of Ill have confidence in one self Con-
fdence in self has helped many a man to success where others OF superior at
tainments have failed, lacking that quality. Confidence, frmness and COOL
ness under trying difcuhies-these aret the things that take me man % the
goal and lacking which a hundred men, fall by the waydde.
These are the things that women have not yet fully learned in their bat
tie for equal terms and privileges with men. They have confidence, sometimes,
but they lack frmness and especially the coolheadedness that carries success
with it. The ability o see M act outside ones personal feelings belongs to
IA rather than woman. When foundin woman she is the exception, nt the
rule. yet she is striving that way because she is honest enough to admit
her weakness and ambitious enough to wish to conquer it.
The failure with many a woman in attaining success along any line Is in
her inclination to watt Tor something to turn up. She has had to wait for so
many centuries that it has become a characteristic If hers,a and it is n diff
cult to overcome, yet in time she will overcome it, becu=e she is more inclined
than man to pay attention to the nttet things ut of which the big things
grow.
We are ALL everyone without except ton, able to do something, and if we
have confidence in ourselves w will do thai something we'll. We speak of the
nerve of son particular me and say: If I had his nerve I could do twice
as we'll"
1t isn't nerve it is simply that confidence in self that w e all should have
to De at our best and to do u best at all times. 1t is easy to forget that
what is worthd doing at all is worth dorg we'll and this doubLy applies to
what must be- done. If it must be done then it should be done in the very
best way possible, and we have it within ourselves to do it weI-that is,
when We are doing or W work, the work for which we have been fitted
can't do someone elses work bette than he, if he is 1T his w work.
Find your work and do it, and success IS is bound to be yours

ONE WAY NEWARK is TALKED ABOUT

The Paterson Guardian reveals TIL true inwardness of the bill passed by
the Legislature permitting Newark to issue $OoOWO of bonds for additional
watershed for it's water supply and, luckily for Newark, the Guardian kept
the secret locked u in it's inner consciousness untnt the oil was passed. The
fell intention of this designing and unregenerate municipality is to destroy
Newfoundland. Oak Ridge and Stockholm, in the Pequannock watershed, by
drowning. Newark" "a the Guardian hnpressively, has already turned a
large prtof Passaic County into wastea and wilderness, driving ut people
and destroying homes IN all property upon the slopes of its three reservoirs"
Common sense n simple facts are entirely eliminated in this foolish misrep-
resentaton, which deserves M purpose whatever

Democratic leader Mr. Bryan will b. accorded every courtesy in a New Jer-

defeat in November. The Progressive Democratic League of New Jersey IN

OUR FLEET AT LOS ANGELES.

Los Angeles is giving the officers and sailors of the batteshp fleet the
'time of their lives" These lucky American citizens have already had a unique
experience. They have enjoyed scenes an comteses and entertainments since
they left Hampton Roads hat n 10 money could buy. The humhINt man of the
fleet cn boast that n O mutt-minonare could command a tHhe If what
he enjoyed on this voyage, which is to be brilliantly terminated at San
Francisco, but with prospects of other delights afterwards in the Orient and
in European waters. Apart from the social features that have attended the
voyage, the benefits to HI Ameicann navy will be incalculabh. The novel and
picturesque occurrence at the ports visited have made the navy more attrac-
tive to American youth. 1t is now invested with a romance that appeals to
every lad with a n adventurous spirit The morale and discipline Of the navy
will also be greatly enhanced ad the experience gained will be of immense
value. After its long voyage the batteshp fleet is beyond all doubt the finest
naval nghting unit of its size Elm the world.

There was no necessity for the explanation given by a Newark repre-
sentative at the hearing a Paterson o n the Kikeout reservoir site question in
regard to the latitude of Essex County towards the preposerous bill for a
dam It Mountain View, and the explanation vas contrary to the facts the
scheme protected in the bill vas much better understood in Newark thn in
Paanc County There are manufacturers sin that county who are perfectly
willing to see a vast area in Morris County flooded for the sake of having
their mills protected from inundaton by flood waters. Newark wants protec-
ton, too but not at a cost OF from ter to. twenty million dollars with
the penalty Of seeing the East Jersey Water Company which is to pay moth
ing of the cost, getting the principal benefit of the vast expenditure, and the
of a arge and fertile region.

George B, Martin speaks of the pop ular preference of Mir. Woodruff over Mir 1illey. In a communication to an evening paper in answer to an editorial entitled "Is It On the Square," MT Martin writes:
 In reply to your editorial of last evening, "Is It On the Square?' 1t can be said unequlvocally that 1t Is. Repub- licans almost universally would prefer Woodruff to Lilley. They know Of no reason why MT. Lilley should be pledg- ed as nominee for governor before the delegates whose duty it Is to make a choice have themselves been chosen. It is made doubly ridiculous when the qualifications of the men are consider ed. Woodruff has made record as gov ernor and the people know what to ex- pect from him. Lilley has made rec ord as congressman at-large and has made a sorry spectacle of himself. Re- publicans are anxious to have Mir Taft elected Why should they deliberately head the ticket with man for gover- nor, a very ordinary man, who has shown himself unable 10 stand for com mon sense and decent judgment at critical moments? Without going Into his disgraceful hasco at Washington, the question arises: Why should we make fools of ourselves in Connecticut by the suggestion of such q nomina- ton? Let us get together and nominate some man that we shall not be obliged to apologize for. like Woodruff or Lake or Henney. It Is time to wake up in Connecticut and let 1t be known that we are thinking people and not dumb driven cattle Ask nine republicans out of ten, who have heard of Lilley, If they want him and they will say, No. " There Is nothing mild" about this san timent. It may stop short of positive action at the caucus meetings If the people allow the meetings to be packed as usual. If the people express their sentiments there will be no more grandstand plays by MT. Lilley. either in Washington or Connecticut.

 Mrs Haynes. with their two sons Artemas and Walter, were spending the summer at IInrwlch, four miles inland from Mir. Haynes camp, and when he did not come over night be- came worried.

TAFT'S ANNOUNCEMENT
Bryan Expresses Himself on Statemen
 Regarding Campaign Funds.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 19.- The statement of w. II. Taft at Hot Springs, Va, yesterday that the re- publican national committee was not accept any contributions from corpo- rations in his campaign was viewed heer With more than ordinary interest MT. Bryan gave 1t his especial atten tion In fact, so impressed was he with the announcement that he broke his usual silence and dictated the fol- lowing statement:
 We welcome him to this advanced ground and bid him to go further and announce that all individual contribu- tions above reasonable minimum will be made known before the cleo tion."
 The fact that to-day was Sunday did not deter a number of persons from coming to Farview. The most important caller was Mayor James Dahlman of Omaha, who was closeted with Mir. Bryan for some time, but neither of them would discuss the subject of the conversation.
