A Business Meeting of the State Press

KnObloch promised that the 1909

to the legitimate affairs of the

pitable people of the meeting

That this pledge is to be full
filled at the annual gathering of
the association to open at Gov
ingtOn on the 4th of May, will
sufficiently appear from the fact
that the program as definitely
provides for two ses.

or six in all, and that a majority
of the topics to be discussed by
the persons who have been invit-
ed TO read papers or make ad-
dresses appertain directly to the

Writing in Success Magazine, " ORR
son SWEET says:
Never before was the opportunity Of
the educated man so great as today.
Never before was there such demand
for the trained man, the man who can
do thing superbly well. At the door
Of every vocation is q sign out.
"Wanted-a man." No matter how
many millions are out Of employment,
the whole world is hunting for man
who can do things; trained thinkers
who can do whatever he undertakes a
little better than it has ever before
been done. Everywhere it is the edu-
Gated man, the man whose natural sbil-
ity has been enlarged, enhanced one
hundred fold by superior training, that
is wanted.
On all sides we see men with small
minds, but well trained, pushing ahead
of those who have greater capabilities,
but are only half trained. AOne-talent
man, superbly trained, often gets the
place when a man with many unframed
or half trained talents lose it. Never
was ignorance placed at such a disad-
vantage as today.
While the opportunities awaiting the
educated man, the college graduate, on
his entrance into practical life were
never before so great and so numerous
as today, so also the dangers and temp
tatiOns which beset him were never be-
fore so great, so numerous and so insid-
iOus.
There is nothing else, perhaps, which
the graduate needs to be cautioned
against more than the money madness
which has seized the American people,
for nothing else is more fatal to the
development of the higher, finer in
stincts and nObler desh IS.

DELRAY AMEITIOIS.
II Wants to Be the Capital of the New
County.

Delray, Fla. The citizens of Delray
held a very enthusiastic meeting few
days ago, the object Of which was to
start talk, as well as action, towards
campaigning for Delray as the perman-
ent county seat of the newly. made
Palm Beach county. Committees were
appointed to look after the publicity
and the people were admonished to
make County Seat at Delray' their
slogan.
1t is said that the people of BOytOn,
Stuart, Jupiter, POmpanO and Deerfeld
are in favor of Delrsy, and tFat if
West Palm Beach gets the county seat
permanently it will only be alter hard
fight at the pools.
In this connection it is said the diyis-
ion eOmmitte, two years ago offered to
donate the site and buildings for the
county court house, provided the people
of the county would not make demands
for new court house inside Of ten
years. 1t is believed by people living
outside of Palm Beach that the division
committee Of this year will not attempt
to take up the agreement entered into
by the former division committee in re-
gard to donating a site and building in
West Palm Beach for the court house.

AT the meeting Of the executive COM
mittee, which will be held within few
days, these matters viii all be discussed
in a semi-Oficial way. The Board of
County Commissioners will probably
decide the court house question at their
first meeting.

But Others Say He Won't.
RUMoRS OF OTHER CHANGES

There are still many rumors afloat
concerning changes IN the manage
ment of the Denver & Rio Grande
and the Colorado Midland.
The denial that Jeffrey is 20 re-
tire from the Rio Grande presidency
is made very emphatically by num-
Der of the high officials.
j. c. Daley, general superin-
tendent of the western division OF
the Rio Grande. is one of those who
is making denials. The Salt Lake
Herald of Sunday says:
J. c. Daley, general superintend-
ent of the Utah division of the Den
yer & Rio Grande railway returned
home last evening from conference
in Denver with the operating offic-
ials of the road relative to the vari-
GUS changes that are being made in
the management. He says that the
Denver papers, upon the resignation
OF A. c. Ridgway. general manager,
have printed sensational rumors,
many of which have no foundation in
fact and which have caused much ex-
citement and speculation. The ru-
NOR published that President Jeffrey
had resigned. he said, he believed
was untrue. Mr.. Jeffrey, himself
denied the rumor, according to u
special from New York to the Denver
Republican, and MIR. Daley believes
the denial is official. Mr. Daley says
that he knows very little about the
changes to be made as he was occG-
pied while in Denver with business
related to the Utah division. Of
course he heard many of the rumors,
but says most OF them were uu-
| founded.

ment under big headlines:
