When God stopped to earth and placed
the crown of motherhood on the brow
of woman, he enthroned in the heart a
purer, truer, holier love than man can
ever possess. This thought should be

carry the real burdens of life, they
possess the real gem that rules the

fit to confer the honor on woman of

OFF is
NO JOKE NOW
Experience Hon. E. w. Hurst Is
Having Withdrawing from
Election Ballot.
F0RMALITIES OF NEW LAW
Nominated for Congress Under Var
ious Initials Likewise Named
for Senate.

Hon. E. w. Hurst is having as much
trouble keeping from running for some
office in the approaching election as
many ambitious people experience in
getting on the ballot in accordance
with the requirements of law AT the
recent primary, Mr.. Hurst, as has been
already announced, despite his disin-
clination to become a candidate, and
Notwithstanding the fact that his name
was not printed on the primary ballot,
received some $50 votes in the Four
teenth district for the congressional
nomination. He thereupon sent in the
regular form his withdrawal to the sec
rotary of state, in order that the con-
gressional committee might select an
other in his stead. To his surprise
came back the notification that, mas
much as he had been nominated in the
name of E. w. Hurst, Gilmore Hurst
and Elmer Hurst, he would be obliged
to decline in all three names in the
regular form in order TO have the va
cancy constitutionally constituted.
Declined From Every Angle.
So thereupon Mr.. Hurst set himself
and form made and provided and above
the divers and sundry signatures cor
responding to the names written on the
primary ballots. In the meantime the
democratic congressional committee,
having assembled at Monmouth last
Thursday and having ascertained that
all the Hursts nominated at the Sep
TENDER primaries had not yet been
heard from, there was no vacancy yet
to be filled, adjourned until next Mon
day in this city. In the interim Mr.
Hurst has been flooding the mails with
affidavits declining the nomination
from every standpoint that might in
volve his name.
But more.
Just as he had about concluded de-
Ginning the congressional nomination
in ways designed to meet every re-
quirement of the law as we'll as any
contingency or eXigency that might
get him off the congressional ticket,
there came through the mail to his desk
a state document from the secretary of
state at Springfield, the purport of
which was to inform him that at the
said primary election, etc, held Sept.
Is in the Thirty-third senatorial dis
trict, he received the same number of
votes as had one or two others who
are mentioned on the democratic side
for the Office of state senator.
Enough Is Too Much.
Mr. Hurst threw up his hands when he
had read the notification. There is but
one thing for me to DO he said, and
that is to go to Springfield, hire d
room and grind out the regular form
Of declination that the circumstances
may justify. OF course, 1 am thankful
for all the evidences of good will and
confidence on the part of my friends, .
but 1 am not candidate for any of
flee this year. And it seems the only
way 1 can get away from it is to go to /
Springfield and get on the job
And to Springfield he goes next Mon
lay morning.

Blomgren, provided we have the es
sentials of leadership and success
within us. One great requisite is the
faculty to organize. Orrison SWEET
Marden says: The man who aspires
to leadership must be an organizer
He must not only read men like an
open book, but judge accurately what
to do with them; how to weigh. meas
ure, and place them. A leader must
be positive, aggressive He must have
an iron will, an infleXible purpose, and
boldness bordering on audacity; he
must be able to defy criticism with
out being insensible or Indifferent to
it. Organization is the one overflow
ering necessity of the times. 1t comes
logically out of the vast interests put
into one business through Incorporate
ed capital. There never was such a
demand for leaders, men who can do
things, as there is today Another es-
sential quality is self-conidence. or
faith in yourself and in your own abiI-
tiles. Faith Cnlocks doors and opens
up the avenues to everything that is
good. 1t is the self-confident man who
wins. He who strikes out boldly, who
does not wait for time or tide. VINO
does not sit on the stone of fate wait
ing for an opportunity to come along,
who goes through obstacles and not
around them, who is not waiting for
others to speak, think, and act. is the
man who is going to win in this new
country.
Must BE Morally Upright.
But a true leader must be a morally
upright man and honest to the very
core of his being. No man can be
really strong when in the wrong. Why
Is it that single man, without wealth
Or position has so often exerted mar
velous power on the world? Simply
because he was supported by princi-
pie; because one man with the right is
always a majority-can stand against
he world for principles invincible
