TO HESITATE LONG IS TO FAIL.
Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute ef Courage.

Many a man fails because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
Initiative.
When do you expect to do anything
distinctive in life? When do you ex-
pect to get out OF the ranks Of
mediocrity? The men who do original
things are fearless. There is a lot OF
dare in their makeup, a great deal of
boldness. They are not afraid to take
chances. TO shoulder responsibility, to
endure Inconvenience and privation
There never was a time when the

How much service, how much labor,
nave we a right to expect from mayor
and members of city council who
are paid $50 or $50 a year, as in Fair

$4,000 a year, the same as a bank
cashier or manager of large business
of any kind, and he should do his
work as it is done in these institutions
This thing of getting something for
nothing works no better in public af-
fairs than in private affairs.
Burlington HawkEye: That is true.
and the Ledger is right However.
for salary of 81 500 or $1,000 a city
of the size of Marshalltown ought to
get the full services of the mayor.
Hiring bank cashier or the manager
of business establishment who gives
his entire time to the interests of the
institution which employs him is very
different from hiring mayor who
gives an hour or so each day to the
ate business the rest of the time
What every city of any size ought to
have is manager al a living salary

manner. and to devote all his time to.
| the interests of his fellow citizens,
just as the cashier or the business
manager does to the interests of his
employer. How long. for instance,
would man remain cashier OF any
bank who was detected in breaking his
word to the management, or who in
the slightest degree favored certain
outside interests at the expense of tlie
institution in which he was employed?
The day is coming when mayors,
ccuncilmen, and commissioners, or
whoever are in charge of city's af-
fairs. will be selected and employed
with the same care that a man is chos-

onc-half of the total appropriations
was left for the civil branches of the
government.
Were 1t not for this enormous ex-
pense, congress would have far less
difficulty in framing tariff bill In
enacting a tariff law it must now do
two things; 1t must raise revenue and
it must protect. Upon given sched
ule or article, an advance in duty may
make Importation prohibitive, and
thus there would be loss of revenue;
on the other hand a reduction of duty
i to the point where a revenue could
be derived. might make the production
of that article improbable in the coun-
try. 1t is to find the happy medium,
that which will yield the greatest rev
enue and at the same time afford ade-
quate protection, that the tariff build
ers must direct their energies. It is
not always possible to do this, and in
consequence either protection or rev.
enue must suffer If it were not nee
essary to raise so great fund for ma
tional expenses, the drafting OF a
tariff bill would be comparatively an
easy matter. SO far as the govern
nent is concerned, it would not suf-

enue. but with expense piling up every

SCARLET FEVER
AT HAMILTON
One Died But the Oiseate is at Present
Confined to Only One
Family.

Hamilton Press: During the past
week scarlet fever has claimed one
victim in our city and three others in
the same family are now sick with
the disease. About two or three
weeks ago scarlet fever manifested it
self in our city in the family of Mrs.
Wardell, her youngest daughter
taking it in a very severe form.
Tie disease has been prevalent in
this vicinity for some time and it is
thought that it was probably brought
to this city from Keokuk where they
have had number of cases. After
the death of the little girl, Mrs. Ward
wells other daughter, Miss Lizzie
Wardwell became sick, as also did her
son-in-law, Will Arnold, husband of
Mrs. Wardwell's eldest daughter. and
their little boy The Arnold family
live in the west part of town but be-
fore the husband and baby took sick
they went to the home of Mrs. Ward
well where they could have care and
attention and they are all getting
along very we'll.
AS the disease is confined to the
members of one family, it is thought
That there will be no more cases in
Hamilton, however, every precaution
is being taken to keep the disease
from spreading. The Hamilton school
was closed Monday and Tuesday of
this week and the rooms thoroughly
fumigated.
Monday of this week Mr.. E. e. Dunn
BAUD, the barber, was sick and 1t was
at first thought that he possibly might
have the scarlet fever and in order to
exercise care that the disease should
not spread any further, he remained
in his rooms over the barber shop un-
til Tuesday when it was seen that ne
did not have the disease and was per-
mitted to carry on his business again.
