The optimist is a building force; the

THE OPTIMIST VERSUS
THE PEssIMIsP

The optimist lives under a clear
shy. the pessimist lives in fog.
The pessimist is confused; he hard
ly knows where to go, what to do or
how TO act; the optimist is in tune
with the harmonies of nature and
discerns distinctly the onward path
that lies before him. The pessimist
hesitates. and loses both time and
opportunity; the optimist makes the
best use of everything now, and
builds himself up. steadily and sure
ly, until all adversely is overcome and
the object in view realized. The
pessimist curbs his energies and con
centrates his whole attention upon
failure; the optimist gives all his
thought and power to the attainment
Of success, and arouses his faculties
and forces to the highest point of ef-
ficiency. The pessimist waits for
better times. and expects to keep on
waiting; the optimist goes to work
with the best that is at hand now,

For making big money, there is
nothing in the investment world to-
day that will bear comparison for
moment with the opportunities af-
forded by California oil stocks.
Dozens and scores OF these stocks
are selling today for many times the
prices at which they were originally
placed on the market
In the advance of the past year
many of them have yielded profits
Of several hundred per cent to in
vestors.
In production and earnings the oil
wells have distanced the gold mines.
Thousands of people enjoying a
competence today owe their good
fortune to moderate investments In
California oil.
BY still other thousands the sue

during the present year.

municipal ownership, he started out
by declaring that he was going to be
the next mayor and that municipal
ownership would be a reality In De-

brought roar Of laughter from the
men assembled. Proctor laughed
himself at some of his sallies and a.

Is THE NEGRO STILL
A SLAVE
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL
BONAPARTE TO AID ACCUSED
ED in SOUTH CAROLINA.

Washington, April 8.-Protesting
against what he terms an attempt in
some southern states again to reduce
the negro to captivity, Charles J.
Bonaparte, former United States at
torney general, filed a brief in the
supreme court of the United States
today in behalf of pink" Franklin,
a South Carolina negro, under SEN
tence to be hanged on a charge of
murder.
The negro's appeal to the supreme
court will be argued orally in about
two weeks. 1t promises to bring to
the fore the question of the status
of agricultural contracts to which
objection has been raised.
The negro was under an "agricul
turaI contract" to work for J. D.
Thomas in Orangeburg county, S. c.,
in 1907. He quit before the con-
tract obligation was completed. A
statute has been passed in South
Carolina making it a misdemeanor
for a laborer to break a contract il
he had become indebted to his en-
ployer.
On the ground that Franklin had
violated the statute of the state a
warrant was sworn out for his ar
rest. Constable H. E. Valentine, in
attempting to arrest the negro went
to the latter's house, entered and was
killed. Franklin was convicted.
Mr.. Bonaparte's brief attempts to
show how that the negro had a right
to resist arrest and protect himself,
his family and his domicile, because
the statute on which the warrant
was based has been held to be a
violation of the state constitution.

$4,000 FIRE At
PASCO

Pasco, Wash, April S.-Pasco had
two fires last night. The latter,
starting between and o'clock.
burned a half block of frame build
ings on Tacoma avenue. between
Bonneville and Clark streets, en-
failing a loss which is roughly esti-
mated at $4,000.
The buildings which were con-
sumed by the flames included four
saloons (only one being in operation
at this time), two stores, restau-
rant and a barber shop and lodging
house.
Both fires started in the rear of
the Palm saloon, and it is believed
to be the work of an incendiary. The
first fire started between the hours
of IL and /, but did not gain much
Roadway before it was put out.
Firemen Do Good Work.
The second fire would probably
have been more disastrous had 1t not
been for the good work done by the
fire department of the railroad,
which is just across the street from
the buildings. A bucket brigade and
the local fire department were also
in action
Among the owners of buildings
burned are T. A. Ash, who owned the
Keystone saloon, and Lee Decoss
who owned a two-story building con-
tanning a store, saloon and barber
shop
The second fire was brought under
control at daybreak today.
