WHAT is SUCCESS?

The world is in the habit of saying
that the rich man succeeds and the
poor man fails, says The Bookkeeper
editorially in it's April issue Is the
statement true? Does success depend
upon the acquisition of wealth? DR..
Eliot, who lately retired from the presi-
dency of Harvard university, said
about a month ago at a reception held
in his honor by the New York Har-
ward club: MY career appears to strike
a considerable number of people as a
successful one. People congratulate me
on what they call my success. But my
career has certainly not been success
full in what is considered to be the
American idea of success. It has not
been successful in pecuniary way. 1t
is success In terms of service-service to
the community. Now. does not this re-
flute the common opinion that the
American estimate of success is a pc
cuniary one?'
DR.. Eliot then related an incident in
one of his travels by boat when the YES
sells officers came to him and said
1--WE officers want to ask you a ques-
ton. We know you are a smart man
We want to know why, being a smart
man, you are not rlch! Dr. Eliot die
not repeat his reply but concluded his
remarks on the subject by saying: 1.-THE
real American estimate of success in
the world is serviceableness and moi
wealth.

have one believe or as he undoubtedly
would like 1t to be. As chairman of
the important finance committee, he
did in the course of time so conduct
himself that most of the senators, at
least most of those of the majority in
the body, We're subjected to his slight
est whim. He was the superintendent
of the pie counter, as it were and on
a senator's good behavior and sub
serviency depended his allotment of
pie in the way of appropriations for
public works and other things in his
own bailiwick. And so he became to
be the senator's boss and they were
ever willing to do his bidding. Dur
ing his reign the records will fail to
show much of anything that was ever
done by Aldrich and his crowd which
was in the interests of the people IL it
confiicted in any way with the inter-
ests of the corporations and their al
lies.
But Aldrich's power has been on
the wane of late. Some new blood has
been getting into the senate. When
there was not SO much of it as there
is now it was of sufficient force to
worst the Rhode Island genius in sew
eral battles on most important propo-
sitions.
And regardless of his desires in the
premises to write the "finis" of the
tariff bill in his own way, there are
enough senators who are alive to their
public duties to disabuse him of any
ideas of this sort. The time when one
man can tell the senate what, or what
not to do has passed. If it had not

up their hands in despair on the pros

ToPEKA,S GROWTH.

Building activities in the city, the
substantial increase in its population
and a reawakening of its civic pride
as evidenced by the rejuvenated Com
mercial club, have been noted and
commented on of late as satisfactory
evidence that Topeka is growing as
she has never grown before and that
the dreams of a greater city in all
ways were not of the character which
don't come true.
Another bit of testimony along this
same line is found in the report of the
assessors on the development of the
manufacturing industries in the city
during the past year. There are now
434 such plants in operation which is
six more than she had during the pre-
vious year. The capital stock invested
in them is more than $10,000,OO0.
Employment is given by them to
6,OS2 persons, who receive annually in
wages $3,1S1,5O3. These plants and
in finished goods during the past year,
gain of $1,704,611.
These figures furnish fine excuses
for the exchange of Fluctuations
among Topekans They speak volumes
for the enterprise and push of the
right sort of the manufacturers who
have located here. They are especial
ly notable because of the fact that the
past year has been looked upon the
entire country over as a poor business
year. If Topeka can make such good
gains as a manufacturing center in a
period of business depression, her
possibilities for growth in this direc-
ton when prosperity reigns through
out the land as it soon will again are
immeasurab BILE.
Every good reason in the world can
be found why Topeka should become
great manufacturing town. Her
transportation facilities are unequal
ed. Property for the establishment
of manufa curing plants is to be found
here in abundance and at reasonable
figures. Conditions in the city sur
rounding the Iaboring man are ideal.
He can make arrangements to buy or
build himself a home for the same
monthly outlay that he would pay in
other cities for rent. His children are
afforded the opportunities for school
ing which are unsurpassed. There are
numberless places where good, whole
some amusement of all kinds can be
found. And there are no saloons or
joints, or other resorts of evil repute,
to tempt him to squander his money
in, regardless of what the enemies OF
Topeka may say to the contrary.
All these things are considered by
manufacturers in selecting a location
for their factories. That's the reason
why so many of them are coming to
| Topeka and that's the reason why they
will come in greater numbers

WHY2

'Aldrieh is the arbiter of tariff re-
vision" 'It has to pass Aldrich."
"Aldrich will have the final saw"
These and similar expressions are
familiar nowadays to those who are
reading the reports from Washington
of the handling of the Payne tariff bill
by the senate of the United States. If
they were the truth. or half the truth,
a person who was not in touch with
governmental affairs, a foreigner. for
instance, might be pardoned for
thinking that through some sort of an
arrangement the senate is under the
domination of one man.
No one doubts that Nelson w. Aid
rich, the senior senator from Rhode
Island, is a power in the deliberations
of the senate, but that he has all
there is to say on the part of that
body on any such important a matter
as a revision OF the tariff, is a ridi-
culous belief. If he had, what would
be the necessity of the senate devot-
ing a whole month to the considera-
ton of the tariff bill as 1t is expected
that it will? Surely such action as this
would not be taken for the mere pur-
poses of b1uffing the people into a be-
lief that their senator's were alive to
their interests and working for them
when as a matter of fact they had
delivered their prerogatives over to a
gentleman from Rhode Island.
Aldrich has been dubbed the boss
of the senate for many years, and has
been its boss in reality until the last
two or three years. Things have
changed a bit of late, and luckily for
the country his authority is not as
great as many persons would try .tc
