The Morals OF Optimism.

Chicago Post--"In support Of the
doctrine of optimism, to which the
American heart instinctively in
clines. President Arthur Twining
Hadley in his baccalaureste SER
mon at Yale advances a reason
that is something more attractive
than those we get from our nona-
genrains and successful business
men. 1t puts morals into the OPP
portunism OF keep Smiling"
"Dr. Hadley laid down as the
fundamental greatness the require
ments that man be upright him.
self and that "he believe in the
good intentions and possibilities
of others about him." The first
qualification he thought that this
country we'll understood, but the
second seemed to be in danger of
neglect. Its Importance he phrased
most effectively as follows:
The man who is cynical, whether
about women or business or politics
is assumed-and in nineteen cases
out of twenty with full justice-
to be immoral in his relations to
women or business or politics.
The man who has faith in the in
tegrity of others in the face of ir-
responsible accusations is assumed
and in nineteen cases out of twenty
Justly assumed-to have the con-
fidence in others goodness because
he is a good man himself. This is
why people will follow the optimist
even though he is sometimes wrong
and shun the pessimist even though
he is sometimes right.
The proportions may be stated
here too broadly, bat truth underlies
the thought. Mr.. Roosevelt was
an illustration of the man who was
not only upright himself, but who
never hesitated to appeal for the
heaviest supplies of righteousness
from his fellow Americans. And
be always received them in full
measure. On the other hand, a
man with the abilities of Aaron
Burr failed signally, primarily be-
cause there WAS in him contempt
uous distrust Of others.
when we are young we accept
the professional cynic and admire
him. When we are older we see
that cynicism as a continuous per-
formanee is often sheer laziness,
often shsllpwness, often cowsrdice
and often immortality. Only in the
rare instance when it comes like a

PINE BLUFFIANS
 ARE PLAINTIFFS
SHit in Pulaski Chancery Court "f Interest Hcre-Suit Over Insurance Policy of AdOlph Samnels.

There was filed in the Chancery
 involves number of prominent fam
 lilies of that city and Pine Bluff. It
 is the suit of l.. A. Samuels, Rosetta Appel, Isador Friedman Vera Wal |chmansky and Camille Francis against Max Salinger and Robert j..
 Pettus. The plaintiffs allege Adolph Samuels, in 1873, took out $5,OO0 life insurance policy in the New York Life Insurance Company, and in 1893 was issued policy for $3,220 as paid up value. The policy the plaintiffs 'allege was not asSignable. The plain- tiffs allege that in 1904 Adolph sam- |uels, being desirous of securing a |small loan on the policy, took 1t to his son-in-law, Max Salinger, who persu- !aded the old man to sign a paper. which afterwards developed to ibe a power Of attorney to dispose of the policy. They allege Salinger then secured loan from Robert l..
 pettus of Forrest City on the policy, and has since failed to return the policy to it's rightful owners. The plaintiffs ask that the policy be placed in the hands of the clerk of the court, alleging it was secured by fraud. They also ask that the power of attorney be cancelled, that Pettus and Salinger be restrain ed from disposing of the policy. and that partition of the policy be made. L. A. Samuels. Rosetta Appel and Mrs. Mary Salinger are daughters of Adolph Samuels. and Isador Friedman Vera Walchansky and Camille Fran

these children work from ten to

ranging from 81 20 to $3.50 a
week. In most of the shops they

Some mothers take their child

have seen mothers work with
babies in their arms. The little
ones are kept on the laps while
the mothers hands strip tobacco
leaves.
At times. the temperature rises
to 10 and the heat. coupled with
the stencil of the tobacco. makes
the work unbcarable. The con
dltionS in the trust factories are
stamped on the pale faces of the
women and on the weak bodies of
the children.
The same conditions prevail in
the RE. Penn Tobbaco Company,
at Reidsville. Y. c.. and in all the
other Southern shops.
Many work with wet rags over
their mouths to keep the dust from
entering the lungs. But there is
no way of keeping nicotine from
the system.
W lille the law limits the age of
children to Ii the majority of the
children employed by the trust are
not over 10.
The smaller manufacturer can
not complete with the American
Tobacco Company. They can not
sell cheaper, nor can they adver-
tlse as extensively as the trust can.
The only way open to them is the
union label They can show
that their goods are made by
Organized Labor and under union
conditions.
If the workingmen should make
1t a point to demand nothing but
union made cigarettes and tobacco.

with the fluctuations in the live cattle

the expensive cuts of beef.
