GIVE US THE REASON.

The Cadiz Record declares that
the weekly press OF western Ken
lucky is unanimous in its support OF
McCreary for governor. There's a
reason, says our local morning con-
temporary. The Purchase hangs
breathless on that sentence. Is our
contemporary about to launch an ex-
plantation Of "the reason?" Is 1t also
for McCreary? Does II mean the
reason the west Kentucky weekly
press Is for him, is that he is the man
to lead Democracy. and they recog
nize II? Or does IL mean that he is
not the man, and there is some other
reason, why they are 80 unani-
mously for him? Come, come, ex-
plaini II you know the reason, you
should tell II. Maybe, ii Is a good
reason. Maybe you are wrong. The
LOGAN organ has never yet been in ac-
cord with the press OF the Purchase
In politics, and we suspect that deep
down under that unsatisfactory COM
ment on the McCreary boom, IL is
giving currency TO SANDER against
the rural press, which is being passed
from mouth to ear by ring polite
ians. The rural press of the Pur-
chase Is virtuous. so far as we know.
II the morning paper knows aught
against It, let II speak, or hold its
peace hereafter.

We are indebted to a gentleman
who remarked in our hearing that
the press from Washington reminds
him of a lot of disorganized rooters
at a ball game. That is just what II
sounds like. Interviews do not sat

about to supply a well defined de-

Taft should have sent a commission

NOT IN % ROUNDS
s5 600 THAT JOHNSON CAN'T
KNOCK OUT JEFFRIES.
Saws Both Men Have Chance hut
johnson Never Beat Man Of
Jehries' Weight.

New York. April 11.-What may
be regarded as one of the hest news
paper articles written in the coming
fight for the worlds heavyweight
championship on July appeared In
New York evening newspaper las,
week as a three-column interview
with Jack Johnson. j read every
word of il. IL was well written
classy and interesting-in fact, what
my newspaper friends would call
good stuff. says Corbett.
Now | want to say at the start
that II johnson should make his
usual defensive fight against Ief-
fries, don't believe Jeff will have
a cinch to win, and neither will j
say that Johnson hasn't chance. i
don't want Johnson or his friends
to think that ] am taking up his
recent interview in a hypercritical
way simply for the lack OF better
subject. l previously have urged II
upon my readers to read everything
written on the coming contest, and
| am trying to assist them in their
efforts TO get the right dope by dis
secting the matter offered for their
reading.
In his interview Johnson. after
acknowledging that he appears TO
have been the only man in the
world interested In this fight who
thought that all the preparation JEFF
fries has been making for three
months was for a ballet dance or
pie eating contest. says: 81 expect
to knock out Jim Jenries within rs
rounds. or you can make Il 20. to
be exact. IL may take a trifle
longer than / look for. But not n
minute over 20. and that goes. This
is no press stun that am handing
out. either. You've asked me a
straight question. and I'm giving
you the goods to the best OF my
ability / believe have the Indian
sign on Jefries. and when the time
comes. some of the smart fellows
who are figuring on seeing big
hog killing. with me playing the
part OF the hog. are In for the sur
prise OF their lives"
AS a means OF finding out Just
how much confidence Gohnson has
in his own predictions. will bet
him $1,000 that he won't knock
Jeffries out In 20 rounds. and that's
giving Johnson Eve more rounds
than the limit he has decided upon
in which to win. ! don't take John
sons statement seriously at all .
Can you, readers, imagine a man
who has always been a defensive
fighter making such a sudden shift
OF scenery? No. Johnson won't do
this. His secret OF success has been
in being able to study out before
hand what his opponent will do, n
sort OF intuition. he says. OF what's
going TO happen. And then he goes
on TO tell how much stronger he Is
than Jeffrles. making a comparison
with Burns. Ketchel and a lot OF
little men who would be mere toys
in the hands OF the Los Angeles
giant. AS a matter OF fact. John
son never fought a man as heavy as
myself, and / lacked pounds OF be-
ing anywhere near the weight of
Jeffries.

omission In construction with the
moses and ivy Of tender memories,
leaving the whole to be compared
with similar works. that we are able
to form a true estimate of a mans
worth and aims
Therefore, the judgment Of a
mans contemporaries is scarcely
worth considering, IL he maintain a
REPUTATION for consistency, honor and
Isense. He must leave the estimate
of his true value to posterity, and the
man, who wastes his time, trying TO
find out how to meet the appreciation
OF his fellowmen and secure for him
self the reputation for achieving re-
suits, which only time can make per-
feet, will leave much behind him for
decay and charitable mosses and
ivies to cover up.
The purpose is the thing and the
ideal the guide for the selection OF
means. True contentment comes
only to the life with a purpose. It
may be that the purpose is not ele-
waiting; but so long as the person is
engrossed in the achievement of the
purpose, he viii be content. II the
purpose is bad, ordinarily IL will be
achieved the sooner, for there are
short cuts to the reward of bad pur-
poses, and the reward is sure. Then
will come the reckoning, and the
effort at undoing. Only the one who
has succeeded at his evil design and
the searcher of all hearts know what
that reward is.
A good purpose requires an ideal
as a daily guide. Short cuts to the
completion of good purposes always
turn out to be misdirected. There
must be the ultimate good purpose
and there must be purpose for
each day. A man, who has an ideal,
but no purpose, will leave nothing
and gain nothing. The highest pur-
pose is to serve humanity, and 1t re-
quires the highest ideals. and the
most consistent daily fidelity to those
Ideals, TO make the structure of ones
life conform in detail TO that pattern,
after which only can life OF service
be designed. But the pleasure Is in
so building: taking the materials.
which come to hand wherever one
may be. shaping them TO our ideals
and placing them one by one accord
ing to the general plan. The imme-
date reward is the wage OF daily
contentment, which alone passes cur
rent, legal tender for what the real
man Graves. There Is no union
scale here. no eight hour law; he,
who serves most faithfully; he, who
neglects the least material and con-
forms most truly to his ideal. re-
ceives the highest wage, and the dis
tribution is just. When the struct-
ure Is completed and the architect
accepts it, what bonus of further
chance to serve will be our gain. we
leave to the architect. satisfied that,
IL there be no further reward, the
wages have been fair and the treat
ment good. Can workman ask for
