is-failure 20 increase, Il is a great mis-
fortune. II the failure is due to delib-
crate and wilful fault. then Il Is not
merely a misfortune. Il Is one OF those
crimes OF ease and self-indulgence, OF
shrinking from pain and effort and risk,
which in the long run nature punishes
more heavily than any other. II we OF
the great republics: n we, the free people
who claim TO have emancipated ourselves

comes upon the wilfully barren. then 1t
viii be an idle waste Of breath TO prattle
Of our achievements. to boast OF all that
we have done No refinement OF life. no
delicacy OF taste, no material progress,
no sordid heaping up OF riches, no sensuous
development OF art and literature, can in
any way compensate for the loss of the
great fundamental virtues; and Of these
great fundamental virtues. the greatest is
the races power to perpetuate the race.
Tive Sets of Qualities.
TN short, the good citizen in republic
must realize that he ought TO possess two
sets OF qualities, and that neither avais
without the other. He must have those
qualities which make for efficiency; and
he must have those qualities which direct
the efficiency into channels for the public
good He is useless II he is inefficient.
There is nothing to be done with that type
OF citizen Of whom all that can be said
is that he is harmless Virtue which is
dependent upon a sluggish circulation is
not impressive. There is little place in
active life for the timid good man. The
man who Is saved by weakness from ro-
bust wickedness is likewise rendered i'm
mune from the robuster virtues. The good
citizen in a republic must first of all be
able to hold his own. He Is no good citi-
zen unless he has the ability which will
make him work hard and which at need
will make him fight hard. The good citi-
zen is not a good citizen unless he is an
efficient citizen.
The Next Step.
There are plenty Of men calling them
selves socialists with whom, up to a time
point, 1t is quite possible to work II the
next step is one which both we and they
wish to take. why, of course, take it,
without any regard to the fact that our
Views as to the tenth step may differ.
But, on the other hand, keep clearly in
mind that, though 1t has been worth while
to take one step, this does not in the
least mean that it may not be highly dis
advantageous to take the next
THE good citizen will demand liberty for
| himself, and as a matter Of pride he win
see to 1t that others receive the liberty
which he thus claims as his own Prob
ably the best test of true love of liberty
in any country is the way in which minori-
ties are treated in that country. Not only
should there be complete liberty in mat
ters Of religion and opinion, but complete
liberty for each man to lead his life as he
desires, provided only that in so doing he
does not wrong his neighbor"

Services ss simple as his wholesome life
attended the tributes paid here today to
Samuel L. Clemens mark Twain).
New York City was but stopping place
In the dead authors last journey, as his body
was brought here from his home at Esed-
ding, Conn.,, where he died, to be taken to
Elmira, N. Y, for burial. But It was
here that the chief expression was to be
found of the loving regard in which he
was held by the American people.
The Brick Presbyterian church at Fifth
avenue and Thirty-seventh street was se-
lected for the funeral services this noon
Two close friends OF Mr.. Clemens were
chosen 70 speak eulogles They were Rev
Dr. Henry Van Dyke, formerly pastor of
the Brick Presbyterian church and now
professor of English literature at Princeton
university and DIR. Joseph H. Twtchell Of
Hartford, city for seventeen years the
authors home. '
Church is Crowded.
Although the Brick church seats 1900
persons. It was by no means large enough
to contain all who had desired to see for
the last time the face OF Mark Twain. To
ensure that all those who rightly claimed
the privilege should obtain it, cards of in
vitation to the number OF 400 were Issued,
with the understanding that when these
were presented the doors would be opened
to the general public After the services
1t was announced the opportunity would be
given for those outside to enter the church
and file past the plain mahogany coffin.
In keeping with the known sentiments of
Mr.. Clemens, the program included no
vocal music and no pallbearers. Two organ
selections, brief prayers and the few words
OF eulogy constituted the service
Attending the services were representa-
tives from the Lotos the Authors and the
Players clubs, prominent publishers ana
editors, eminent members Of the bench and
bar and literary men and women OF note.
Viewing the Remains.
Until 10 o'clock tonight thousands passed
in and out Of the church looking on the re-
mains fthe dead humorist, OF the thou
sands who had the last glimpse fthe dead
man few could keep tears from their eyes.
Upon the coffin lay a wreath OF laurel
fashioned by Dan Beard, the artist and
atuhor, and little bunch OF white roses
Late tonight the coffin was conveyed &c

Wili to WORK and Fight.

Such ordinary, everyday qualities in
elude the will and the power TO work, to
fight at need ana to have plenty of
healthy children. There are few people
in every country so born that they can
lead lives Of leisure. These fill useful
function II they make It evideRt that leisure
does not mean idleness But the average
man must earn his own livelihood. he
should be trained to do so, and he should
be trained TO feel that he occupies con-
tempuble position II he does not do 50;
that he Is not an object of envy II he is
idle at whichever end OF the social scale
he stands. but an object Of contempt, an
object OF derislon.
I'm the next place. the good man should
be both q strong and q brave man; that
is. he should be able to fight. he should
be able TO serve his country as a soldier II
the need arises. There are well meaning
philosophers who deelalm against the un-
righteousness OF war. They are right only
II they lay all their emphasis upon the un-
Righteousness. War is a dreadful thing
and unjust war is crime against human
ity. But II Is such crime because It is un-
just. not because II Is war The choice
must ever be In favor OF righteousness, and
this whether the alternative be peace or
whether the alternative be war. The ques-
