One reason why so many fail, or
Mod along in mediocrity, says Orison
SWEET Marden in Success Magazine, is
because they see so many obstacles
and difficulties These loom up so
threateningly that they lose heart to
win. They see so many difficulties
that they are in a discouraged condi-
ton much of the time, and this mental
attitude is fatal to achievement, for 1t

The habit of dwelling on difficulties
and magnifying chem weakens the
character and paraly2es the initiative
in such a way as to hinder ore from
ever daring TO undertake great things.
The man who sees the obstacles more
clearly than anything else is not the
man to attempt or do any great thing.

RETRosPEcTIoN.

When YOU meet an old friend or
brother that you haven't seen II
years,
There's much in his talk THAT'S pen
sive, and much that helps you
and cheers
You talk of his health and his la
bors, you ask of his children
and wife,
And then you make little excursions
far into the byways of life.
There are moments of silence and
smoking, and names of OLD
playmates occur,
And out of the sea of yesterdays for
gotten visages stir.
And YOU think of Robert or Henry, OF
william, or John, or jim,
And you knock the ash from your
stogie, and you ask, What be
came of hin"
And some have married and pros
pered, and some have faltered
and failed,
And some from the troubled waters OF
life to quieter ports have
sailed:
But the thing that gladdens and
cheers you and stings in your
heart like a song,
Is the fact that they nearly all fought
well-that only few went
wrong.
The boy who was waywarf and
wlllful grew steady and true In
the end
And the one that fought you and
feared you grew into faithful
friend
And mere and there was a straggler
who ran from the field and fell
But most of them triumphed bravely
and you're told that they did
right we'll"
And so when the night is over and
you're sitting alone again,
1t stoutens your heart and helps YOU
to compare the now and the
then
And YOU know that the plan of nature
or God. or men, is good
And you hope when the schemes com
pleted, there'll be one vast
brotherhood
And the poor shall walk in the sun
light, and the lame shall laugh
on the hill,
And for all who are MANNED or ai'ing
there1l be trying and hoping
still:
And he shall walk straight and sturdy
who erstwhile faltered and fell
And Your heart will sing songs OF
thanksgiving, that your bro.n.
ers have all done well

NO MORE SMOKING
ON Strict CARS
NUISANCE TO BE ENDED IN DU-
BUoUE AND PEOPLE APP
PROVE.
WHOLESOME EDIcT ISSUED ON
FIRST OF THE NEW
YEAR.

Dubuque, Iowa, Dec. GIT is re-
ported on excellent authority that the
Union Electric company will issue an
order on the first OF the new year
prohibiting smoking on cars on all
lines. The mandate will be decisive
and complete-a thorough elimination
of the custom. With the ban on smok-
ing the management hopes TO combat
successfully the m, re repulsive habit
of expectoration ON the part of male
: passengers.
For years, in fact ever since Du.
buque has had street cars,-back 10
the days of the mule cars-it has been
the custom of men to stand on the
rear platforms and indulge in quiet
smokes. In instances of heavy traffic
congestion is common and in addition
to the discomforts afforded the pas
sengers, the company finds that it rs
handicapped in its effort to maintain
a fast schedule because difficulty is
experienced in boarding and securing
entrance to the cars.
When a group of smokers stand Oh
the rear platform of a car, the mem
bers expectorate freely and the con-
clifton of the floor attests the motive
which prompts the objection of the
Union Electric management Women
passengers are obliged to make their
way through this condition and the
company has been in receipt of count
less complaints because of it.
People interested in the fight for
satisfactory health conditions see fl
the custom a menace to the public
good and have not refrained from sc
expressing themselves
For years past the company has
given earnest consideration TO the dis
tress:ng condition and more than once
has taken steps to wipe i, out but
the matter was always dropped.
You may as we'll inform. your
friends to climb into the wagon and
resolve never more to smoke on street
cars" said an official IF they do not.
well, | am not in a position to predict
anything. But then we look for every
body to help us. The custom must he
stopped"
Expressions heard in general after
the rumor gained currency were ia
appreciation of the company's move.

An Unanswered Question.

Tn United States government requires
the deposit of specific security when 1t en-
trusts money TO a national bank although
it can examine the bank at any time; the
state requires security when it deposits
money In a bank; the county requires Sc
curlty and the city requires security; even
the banks require security from the Off
Gals who handle the money. why should
the depositor be left TO take his chances?
Not only is the depositor without protec-
ton, but the security given to nation, state,
county and city lessons his security. They
are preferred creditors; hey have a mort
gage on the gilt-edged assets and the de-
positor must get along as best he can
with what remains. Why are the interests
of depositors thus neglected ?-Bryan's To-
peka Address, August. 1903. 9
In the current issue of the Com
moner Mr.. Bryan prints in full the law
enacted by our legislature under this
approving caption: "Nebraska's Guar
anteed Deposits Law-Enacted by a
Democratic Legislature and Signed by
a Democratic Governor" Careful
reading OF the law, however, fails to
show that 1t nswer Mr.. Bryan's ques-
ton.
With the guaranty scheme In opera
ton, the individual depositors in Ne
braska banks will still be at the same
disadvantage as heretofore, as COM
pared with the nation, state, county
and city as depositor. Under this law,
the conditions exacted by the United
States government TO secure non
entrusted to a national bank will re-
main unchanged. The state will still
require special security when It de-
posits money in a bank. state or ma
tional. The county will still require
security and the city will still require
security Just the same as before. II
banks, or fraternal societies, or big
corporations are exaeting special Sc
curity now to make them preferred
creditors, they will continue to be pre-
ferred creditors to the same extent,
while the individual depositor will
get along as best he can with what
remains"
The Nebraska deposit guaranty law,
enacted by a democratic legislature
and signed by a democratic governor"
leaves the state in the same incon-
siStent attitude as before, so severely
criticised by Mr., Bryan, of ~exacting for
its deposits special security over and
above the security required for or
binary depositors. although il can ex-
anime the bank at any time"

Taft and the South.

That the south, although from ira
dition il voted against him. expects
much from President Taft is becoming
more and more evident. During his
southern trip, prior to his Inaugural
ton, Mr.. Taft's personality won the
hearts and his utterances found prompt
response in the sentiments of the peo-
pie of the south. AS an example Of
present feeling, the speech of Secre-
tary of Wa Dickinson. at a banquet in
Chicago, is significant. AS a member
of the cabinet he may fairly be set
down to voice the sentiment of Mr..
Taft and the administration AS a
southerner born, and retaining all his
southern sympathies and interest, he
can with just as much reason be ex-
pected to know and speak the views OF
the south, In his address to the South
ern society Mr.. Dickinson said:
No president could effectively help, and
none would continue TO be disposed to help,
those who are repellant or coldly distant.
There is certainly now a happy conjunction.

to actively cooperate with us to promote
our general welfare, and our people believe
in him and give him their fullest con
fidence. II that were all, the combina-
ton would lack an essential quality. The
people of the north, as is amply mani
tested by the public press. are I'm full
harmony with the utteTances of the pres
dent in respect of the south. This is an
invaluable condition, for full fruition can
not come without their hearty approval
and cooperation.
The south needs the north, with its
restless activity. to make it measure
up to the fullness of its opportunities.
theoretically, the antagonism which
once kept the two sections apart has
long since passed away. 1t needs but
the warm personality of a leader like
Mr.. Taft to render that sentiment a
moving, impelling force. Possessing
the confidence and affection of 10Th
sections, north and south are looking
forward to a period of mutual inter
course and harmonious interest.

Texas and Nebraska.

In ~reconvening the Legislature in ex-
ira session to make good platform
pledges violated in the regular session
the governor Of Texas emphasizes the
difference between Texas and Ne
braska. Nebraska has just witnessed
the adjournment of a democratic leg
islature that has likewise failed to
make good most of the platform
pledges on which its members we're
elected. AS to the record Of Ne
braska's late democratic legislature,
listen to what Edgar Howard says of
It in his Columbus Telegram, whose
democracy will hardly be questioned:
The legislature built a bank guaranty
law which is the laughing stock of the state.
BY corporation influence this good demo-
cratic measure dhe initiative and referen-
dunn was killed.
The lobby took all the teeth out Of the
physical valuation bill,
These are only a few of the indict-
ments brought against Nebraska's
democratic legislature in the house of
its democratic friends. If an extra
session is needed in Texas to make
good violated pledges, what about Ne
braska?
