FAILURE NOT a DISGRACE

What an unfortunate thing that the
idea should be dinned into the ear
Of youth everywhere. that Il is dis.
grace to iail-that Is, to fail to make
money 10 accumulate property,
II is not a disgrace 20 fail; bu, il is
a disgrace not TO do ones level best
to succeed, mot failure, but low aim
is crime"
Mulitades OF poor people who arc
not known outside OF their own lit
lie communities are really great sue.
eesses when measured BY all that
makes true greatness, their heroic
endeayors, their brave battle for
years with obstacles, playing a los.
ing game with heroism. The great
patience and wonderful seli.control
under the criticism OF those who do
not understand them are evidences
that they have succeeded. The pos
session OF noble character is the
greatest evidence in the world that
one has succeeded.
On the other hand, II a man has
gotten a fortune, but has lett his man-
hood on the way to it; il he has
bartered his good name in the pro-
cess of getting it. he is still failure,
no matter how much money he may
have accumulated.
A clean record is the greatest kind
Of a success. And how few men who
make big fortunes manage TO save
their good name, to keep their record
cleanl
The mere possession Of money may
be no evidence whatever that a man
has succeeded. II he cannot control
himself; il his aims are low and vul-
gar; II he is greedy and grasping and
selfish; II he takes advantage OF 9TH
ers; II he robs others Of opportunity
if he has used them as stepping stones
upon which to climb to his fortune,
he is a failure measured by all that
constitutes a real man-real values
that are worth while,-Ex.

WOMEN AS POLICE.

. BAYONNE, N. JaFeb. Sat the
next meeting Of the common Council,
Mrs Julia Colder will seek to have
the icty appoint and pay at least FIVE
women to do police duty in the parks
during the coming Summer. Mayor

that femme police wear Blue blouses,

blue blouse.

BOSTON, Feb. Sit is the belief
expressed by the Boston authorities
that the will of the late BENJAMIN
Hadley the Somerville Hermit, found
recently on a doorstep in England,
disposing of property valued at $500,
900 is a forgery. Michael F. Farrell

against four persons in England for
forgery and conspiracy. Mr.. Hadley

ment came from London that Mr..
Hadley's win had been found on a
a doorstep in that city. The alleged
will had bequest to President
Roosevelt OF $4,000, which the Presi-

Secretary John H. Whyte, Of the

given the people Of Oregon some
thing to think about in his expose Of
the wide Emergencies in the exports
and imports innuring to the Colum-
bia river and Puget Sound. They are
not the result Of a passing and super

some very steady and painstaking fig

Of actual conditions in this important
relation. and are not given to the
public in any other spirit than that
which seeks to get to the levels and

A PRETTY PROBLEM.

Has the Legislature the right to
annul the acts OF the People?
Here are two interesting issues in
separable from the vital problem Of
the highest and last expression Of
civic power and authority, as il CON
fronts the electorate of Oregonl
There are fnely-trained legal minds
at work on the puzzle, and
it is to be one Of the absorbing

That the question should be settled
rightly and quickly Is imperative;
and it must take its course straight
to the court of last resort, at Wash

back, we viii know just who and what
the people amount to; fact worth

We believe (believe, mind you)
that the people, being the original
sources Of all power, in the first in

tions, the judgment will be in
favor Of the people, with lot OF
legitimate and sound advice, along
with it, to guard and guide them in

age. Is Done BY 1t.

1t will perhaps be interesting to
of the chief characteristics of the
climate of North Dakota and of the
temperature and precipitation aver
ages for the various months of the
year for that portion of the state in
which the lands about to be opened
to the public are located. AS is well
known, moderate extremes Of heat
and cold characterize the climate Of
our state. History SHOWS, however,
that the highest type of manhood
abounds in such environments as our
state affords. North Dakota has been
approximately called 1.-THE Land of
SUNSHINE" for with few, if any, ex-
ceptions no country produces great
err number of days with sunshine
than does our state. The average
temperature for the state is about
80 degrees. January is the coolest
month with an average of degrees.
July is the warmest month with an
average Of 70 degrees. The precipi-
tation, the most important element
to be considered, is ample for all
needs, the average for the year be-
ing about IS inches. When one con-
siders that of this amount, fully
three-fifths occurs during the crop
growing season, almost ideal condi-
lions are experienced. Further, the
percentage Of evaporation is low for
North Dakota, being but about one
half that of Texas, where the aver
age rainfall is the same. 1t will
thus be readily seen that ample pre-
cipitation generally occurs, is dis
tributed equally throughout the crop
growing season and that as the per-
centage of evaporation is low, max
imum amount Of the moisture is con-
served for crop growth. While the
average wind movement is higher in
North Dakota than in some, other
states, there are as a rule few winds
