THE HOPEFUL ATTITUDE.

His Ambition.
There Is a tremendous power in the
habit Of expectancy, the conviction

well and not Ill; that we are going to
succeed; that, no matter what may or
may not happen, we are going to be
happy.
There Is nothing else so helpful as
the carrying OF this optimistic, expect
ant attitude the attitude which al

! whether he did or not does not in any
way affect the merits of the measure.
If the mayor would have the people
iof Cairo approve veto message he
must be able to show that the ordi-
rance is not a good thing for them
and in order to do this he must be
able to present some facts from his
point of view which thus far he, or
any one else, has failed to present.
1t is no argument against the propo-
sition to say that it Will add to the
tax burdens Of the people, when the
people who bear those burdens de-
mand that the measure shall be
passed and become effective The
people can be trusted to know what
they can stand and what taey want;
and that large majority of them
want their streets kept in good re-
pair and want roads built in the coun
ty tributary to the city-neither of
which can be done without Joining
the road Districts not to be ques
toned
II is no argument against the
measure to say that the city will pay
q large proportion of the road tax in
the district, because, as set-off to
this II must be granted that the city
will be much the greater beneficiary.
Against the assertion that the people
Of Cairo will pay SC for every 81 paid
by people outside the city, there
stands the fact that ten or more PEG
pie will derive benefit from the
roads proposed to be built. to one in
the remainder of the district-for this
whole community will be benefited in
variety of ways, by the building of
system Of good roads that will adj
nit of easy intercourse between the
city and the county.
II Is no argument against the meas
ure to say that the "citys hands win
be tied" an expression which the
mayor has used with much seeming
satisfaction in discussing it--that Is
will have nothing to say as to the
manner of spending the money it
pays into the road fund The mayor
himself must see the preposterous
weakness Of an assertion when

more voters OF Cairo can not elect

Los ANGELES. Aug. 9.-The Seals
may be due for the toboggan, but
they're riding it yet. They won a
twirler's battle today by the classy
score OF l to 0.
When Tenant hit the home plate in
the sixth inning. going in from third
when Madden singled to left field and
was declared safe by close decision,
he tailed for the visitors the only run
scored
Stewart was too much for the Dillon
ties, who could not fall onto his curves
at.any stage of the game. Hildebrand
and Finney umpired, the former being
behind the bat.
Madden was prominent throughout
the game. He stole second in the sec
ond inning and found it SO easy that
he did it again in the fourth, thereby
capturing the goat OF the Dillonites.
Waring went behind the bat for the
locals in the ninth inning. but there
was nothing to it but the Seals.
The seven games to be played here
are expected to determine the fate of
the Los Angeles team in the Coast
league race. If Dillon's men continue
on the slide they will be down and
out when the series ends. They must
take a majority of the games to be in
the running, and they have not started.
