ARE YOU ADVANCING

Are you progressing or standing still? If the latter, others are pushing on ahead. The distance between you and the progressive man is constantly in creasing.
 Ycar power of reasoning, your super for intellect is what distinguishes you from the lower animals. If one of your limbs remains long in one position the muscles lose their power to move it. If you leave your mind unexercised it likewise loses its power. You still have speech to show that you are not of the lower creation, but of what inter est is your conversation if you have not used mind enough to acquire some knowledge!
 If you would have useful mind, use it daily. Keep it active, if you would have it strong. Let no day pass without having learned something worth learn ing. Add something to your knowledge even If it be but little. Learn to con centrate your thoughts on some one sub ject instead of allowing them to ralnblo along without control. Spend portion of your time in thinking to some pur- pose, thinking by the direction of your will. The more you endsavor to do this the easier it will become. You will thus be progressing in knowledge and usefulness instead of going backward. If your work is such that 1t does not require very close attention, you can think over your evenings reading while at work, select the points you wish to remember and stow them away in the storehoase of your brain. In this way many men have made their intellects of use to themselves and to the whole world. If on the other hand your work demands your whole attention, concen- trate your mind upon 1t and get it out of the way. Don't think of all you have to do. Do it. And, when you have done 1t, attack the something you wish to do for yourself.
 Each man should endeavor to make the most of what is in him. But how can he know what is in him unless he consistently tries to get it out?

 But let her raise the standard of re- volt and the earth will shake with her voteless might. Let her make the stock ing her banner. Unfurled in the wild winds of spring, it will bring terror to the hearts of the politicians. The high tariff strikes double blow at her pocketbock, for, having none other, it makes her pocketbook both costly and empty, or, if not empty, at least empty of what pocketbok ought to contain namely, good money of the realm.

battle during the last year against the

plants of citizens that disease and
death were allowed to lurk in the
seats, floors and walls of certain
street cars, the commissioners got to
work and by putting out a corps OF
thirty inspectors to see that soap and
water, disinfectants, scrubbing brush

square inch of space on which germs
could gather, they have made thor

AGAINST POPULAR ELECTION

Senator Elihu Root OF New York in
accepting his election by the legisla-
ture of that state, declared himself
against the election of United States
senator's by popular vote. He does
so because he is convinced that the
present plan is all right and needs no
amendment. MIR. Root said: 81 am
opposed to the direct election OF SEN
ators, as | am opposed to the inttia-
tive and referendum because these
things are based on the idea that the
people cannot elect legislatures whom
they can trust. They proceed upon
the idea of abandoning the attempt to
elect trustworthy and competent state
legislatures. II you abandon that
attempt, if you begin to legislate or to
amend constitutions upon that theory,

of the state legislatures in maintain
ing the system OF local self-govern-
ment under the constitution.
