conviction makes a man q god. It is
better than riches or high position.
IL makes poor man a king. A per.
son who constantly fears or worries
Is practically an atheist He has no
Iaith In himself or any other being.
He does not usually live long. Wor.
ry kills more than whisky; It really
hardens the arteries. -.
NO man has q right to kill his
friends by a sad, morose coun,e-
nance. A long face Is q mark of re-
Iigion. It Is out Of date Just now and

mr.. 1LFT'S VIEWS"

The statement supplied by the
correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune -as. to the views" of Mr..
Taft on the political situation may,
we suppose, be taken as author
led" as it is announced to be.
Since no one" but Mr.. Taft himself
could give authority for it is per-
Missile to accept it as his own for
all purpose$ of discussion.
The first impression it conveys
is that Mr.. Taft is a little scared.
If he were as confident as the
language of the statement repre-
sents him to Re he would be con-
tent to let the fact take care of
themselves and trust the people to
see his claims as he says they actu-
ally are. And the impression of
his apprehension is reinforced by
the consideratio n of the time he
has chosen to make his claims.
Had the republicans of Iowa and
Kansas recognized those claims,
had they submitted to the leader
ship /of the politicians who are
warm admirers of, Mr.. Taft. and
had this class Of politicians shown
more strength in his own state of
Ohio, it is unlikely that he would
have felt it needful to set forth at
such length and with such anxious
emphasis the reasons why his ad-
ministration should be Endorsed at
the approaching elections. AS a
matter of expediency we should be
inclined to think that he has made
a mistake, and that in the light of
. the deep ,disaffection manifested in
his own party it would have been
safer, as it clearly would have been
more .dignified. to maintain a self
respectful silence as to the political
situation. Perhaps that would
have required more self-poised
and stronger nature than Mr..
Taft's, but his friends would have
done well to advise him to assume
a virtue though he had it not.
What Mr.. Taft does, does
awkwardly, and with much show of
embarrassment, is to excuse him
self, to prevent an apology for his
personal and party conduct since
he became president. That is not
an imposing attitude for man in
high Office. 1t is all the worse
because he is excusing himself, not
as against the accusations of his
party opponents, but as against
those of an important, aggressive
and triumphant portion of his
party. The statement put forth
in his name is an answer to the
republican conventions of the mid
die west. And it is in substance :,
as well as in form, a weak and
ineffective answer.
Mr.. Taft makes claims for
=, service to his party and to the
country in other regards that are
entirely justified. They are also
relatively unchallenged. 1t was
hardly necessary to write them, and
they do not in the least modify the
strange inconsistency into which he
has fallen as to the tariff. He is
right in his feeling, which he makes
more clear than perhaps he in
tended, that the latter is the real
issue which his party has to meet
in the elections of November. On
that issue we do not think that he
has done his party much good

The PLIGHT of the Liar.

Is there any power in cunning, in
shrewd, long-headed deceptive methods
that can for moment compare with
the truth, with absolute integrity?
There is no advertisement in the
world, in the long run, that can COM
pare with that which comes from the
reputation of always and everywhere
telling the exact truth, of being abso-
lutely reliable. This reputation alone
has made the names of some Of the
great business houses in this country
worth millions of dollars.
Every time man deceives he knows
that he has to cover his tracks. He Is
always on thorns for fear of discovery,
for everything in his own nature is
trying to betray him; but when he
tells the truth. because he is built on
the earth plan, he has all the universe
sustaining, supporting, backing him.
One can look the world in the face
without wincing, because he feels that
he is backed by eternal principle;
there is victory in his eye, assurance
in his very bearing, while there is
something within the other man which
says, II am liar; l am not man. I
know | am not man, but sneak. a
ake-believe. Success Magazine.

CUBS SLAB STAR TURNED
MISFORTUNE INTO ASSET

Mordecai Brown, pitcher of the
Cubs, and one of the most effective
men who ever occupied the position
OF twirler, has overcome obstacles
that would make most ball PLAYERS
hesitate before undertaking them. He
started out to be a pitcher minus his
forefinger of the right hand. 1t is this
that gave him the name of Three
Fingered" Brown. The most difficult
thing he had to master was control.
Steady practise has made Brown an
absolute wonder in the matter of con-
troll. 1t is now his long suit. Great
catchers like Johnny" Killing, who
have stood in front of Brown, saw
they know almost to a certainty lust
where the ball is coming He throws
the ball in groove right where the
backstop signals. 1t is this super
quality he possesses that makes the
"Three-Fingered" star the terror of
all batsmen.
The absence of his finger enables
Brown to throw tremendous curve
ball. 1t comes with sweep and
break that literally dazzles a batter
who has never faced him. Because of
the injury in his youth that deprived
him OF his finger, those which were
spared him are stronger and more
flexible than the digits of ordinary
pitchers. In fact, he has made his
misfortune an absolute asset.

A Journalists Ideal Home.

Among the writings of Helen Hunt
jackson there is a picture of home
as it ought to be, drawn in such falr
and graceful lines that 1t deserves to
be hung in every home, where all may
see and heed it's lesson.
Here is the picture: "The most per-
feet little home ever saw was lit
tie house into the sweet incense OF
whose fires went no costly things. A
thousand dollars went as a years liv-
ing for a father, mother and three
children. But the mother was the Gre
Iator of a home; her relations with the
children were the most beautiful
have ever seen; every inmate of the
house involuntarily looked into her
face for the keynote of the day, and it
always rang clear. From the rosebud
or cloverleaf, which in spite of her
hard Homework she always found time
to put beside our plates at breakfast,
down to the story she had on hand to
read in the evening, there was no in
rermission of her influence. She had
always been and always will be my
Adeal of a mother, wife and home
maker"

SPRINGFIELD GETS BACK HER BELLS
New York and st. Louis Return
Players With the Jingle

The Springfield club of the Three

this season. Incidentally these Bells

club gets Ralph Bell back from New
York and Manager Bresnahan has re-

that the Cardinals were to pay $1,000
for Bell if they decided to keep him.
Bresnahan came to the conclusion
that he could get along without the

pitcher in the list.
The Springfield club has been a
school for some Of the present stars

that any baseball player who has any
thing in him at all will do his best,
thus making his chances for big

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
it grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
