THE DARK VALLEY OF PROSPERITY

Successful artists and illustrators in many in
stances do not follow up the first successes that won
them fame. They Slur over their work, they stand
still or they degenerate. They aCcentuate the super
fetal in their style and little for the strength
that once was vital. They repeat the same charac-
ters merely in slightly changed positions, ike
cheap stock company with a small cast and
meager wardrobe playing in repertoire. These men
often say if ventures to speak that kindly word
of protest should always give to the needy. Oh,
what difference does it make 1t paws all right.
They should find some good Samaritan to drag them
from the Dark Valley of Prosperity and put them
back again the sunlight OF struggle and the IN
spiration of adversely.
The business man who began in a small way and
suddenly finds fortune emptNng cornucoplaS OF gold
into his lap find hard keep his feet and not
to lose his head The demon Of greed may trans
form him; he wants more. He IS like the farmer
who desired only the land that adjoined his farm
each addition increasing the field OF desire the more
he had the more he wanted Then may come q
million owning a man; not the man a million. To
accumulate more, he may defy laws, brlbe Leglsla-
lures and buy Judges. Like modern Joshua. he
seeks to command the sun-o luStICe-tO stand still.
He choroforns his business conscience until sleeps
50 soundly that a earthquake would not joste it.
Wealth's Unhealthful Influence
WTEALTH often makes men who started in bravely
w with high ideals in a normal moral health, be
come cold heartless, selfish and uncharltable as they
walk through the Dark Valley OF Prosperity. They
have a tendency to expect argument to close when
they speak. They seem TO have corner on Judg-
ment If their eve alone saw the sun of truth,
their wisdom alone penetrating the reality OF great
questions. The abnormal pressure OF business often
forces them into pleasures of which they count not
the cost nor the character They often too busy
10 take stock OF the goods of their soul The culture
Of the higher affections and sentiments is often
killed. The very intensity of their work or their
plav produces an ennui hard to overcome.
Iriiles affect them strangely; they grow rritated
impatient irrational at finding a crumpled roseleat
in the golden couch OF their insomnia They become
more and more suspicious, and hardly know whom
10 trust They fear everyone IS laying pipes for
deal stealthly seeking to gain their influence To
subtract something from the useless pile OF their
surplus wealth They can have few trusted genuine
friends Of the mind heart. and soul Great wealth,
like genius soates from his fellows in the clos
est harnouies of life.
The greatest men are ever the simplest. There are
thousands who bear their great burdens OF fame
success responsibility, prosperity, or wealth, and
remain happy as of old and little If any, spoiled 10y
il all They must truly be men, OF fine resources
Of thought character and soul, who can retain the
crown OF their individuality after Journey through

SWAIN WANTS TICKETS
Il FOR TWO NOW

Charlie Swain has the "transpor-
tation for two" proposition in his
head and this is one of the obsta-
cles Russ Hall Is now trying to
Overcome before Swain reports to
the Tigers. Swain Is down in Cali

self and his wife. When Manager
Brown heard this he remarked that
In the big league back eSst the
transportation racket is the excep-
ton rather than the rule and bad
precedent has made it a source of
trouble in the Northwestern league.
Brown has had trouble along this
line but up to the present has ad-
justed all his difficulties.
The Indians now in the city are
working out every afternoon at
Gonzaga and several of the North
western leaguers from other cities
are also out for practice. Yester-
day Brown, Roosevelt, Burnett,
Blub Irby, Jack Killilay, Ed Killilay
and Lee Samuels were on the lot
getting a few kinks out of their
arms. There is no attempt at
speedy work but just enough exer-
else to get into good shape for the
opening of the training season.

WOULD SAVE
THEIR PLUMS
COMMISSION SUPPORTERS SEE
FEAR OF LOSING PATRONAGE
PIE IN ACTION OF COUNCIL
ON CITY ENGINEER.

The contention of members of
the city council who voted to turn
down the recommendation Of the
charter commission, giving the
mayor more power, that they op-
pose the city engineer being a
member Of the board of public
works is regarded as subterfuge by
commission supporters.
1t is argued that patronage con.
trolled or sought to be controlled
by members Of the city council is
. at the bottom Of the fight to segre-
gate the oflices Of engineer and
board of public works. In this con.
nection 1t is stated members of the
|. council and Councilman Lambert in
particular, are wrathy at City En-
gineer Ralston because he refused
to employ some one recommended
by Lambert. 1t is also stated that
Ralston eventually employed the
nan proposed by Lambert, but dis
charged him when he failed to
make good on the job. This action
on the part of hte city engineer has
resulted in his losing the support of
Mr.. Lambert and possibly explains
why other members of the council
wish to keep separate the offices of
city engineer as the commission

yesterday afternoon that he was
considering but had not determined
on the matter. Varney had hard

had strike on his hands, and other
kinds of trouble. AS an inkling OF
the kind of players he had it is to
be remembered that Joe Seaton
was his star twirler.
