down by Nap LajOie, who was adjudged
to be second to Cobb.

CALUMET, Mich, Feb. 16.-Sena-
tor Moriarity of Crystal Falls is pre-
pairing for Introduction into the state
legislature a bill which will place a
special tax on farm products. The
measure is certain to pass the senate,
and the probabilities of it passing the
house are good, in which case it like
ly will be vetoed by Governor Osborn.
The measure is retaliatory, however,
aiming to hit the State Grange and
others who are advocating the tom
mage tax bill now before the house
which would impose an extra tax on
the products of the copper and iron
mines of Northern Michigan. 1t is un-
likely the Moriarity bill will be intro
duced if the tonnage tax bill fails.
The governor will veto the tonnage
tax bill should it pass both bodies.

FIRE Of ENTHUSIASM -.
SECRET OF SUCCESS
Indifference of Hearers Overcome
By Sincerity and Devotion
of the Speaker.
Human Nature Must Be Reckoned
With in All Efforts of
Reformers.


BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
On all sides one hears of measures
for solving the social question:"
Hard, cold remedies, they offer,
sometime s-dust-covered and lifeless
as geometric problem. No blood,
no pulse, no heart
Forgotten is the fact that this is
an intensely human problem, having
to do not only with statistics and
computations, but more than this, and
most of all, with real men and wo-
men. The beautiful schemes which
read so well in book and magazine,
which sound so plausible from lee
ture platform and public desk, go all
to pieces when applied to flesh and
blood men, because they leave out al
together the element of human ma
ture.
Some social schemes fail because
they are presented by those who lack
the peculiar personality which is
necessary in order to impress Others
They do not inspire confidence. They
do not impart hope. They sound a
dismal note. The pessimist is never
success as a reformer.
Some social schemes fail because
Of the immoral character of their ad-
vocates. They may rally about them
selves a few kindred spirits. They
may issue a few propaganda pamph-
lets. They may even print a news
paper which shall become the organ
of their party, thus giving an impress
sion of great influence. Often, too,
they may for a time win followers
who are the victims of every new fad
and fancy. But soon there comes a
WATERLOO, because no social scheme
can permanently win the people which
hasn't back of it the strength of a
moral purpose.
Failure there is, also, because of a
lack of aggressiveness. Men are not
waiting to be reformed. They are
not running about seeking help or
advice. They do not readily listen to
a new voice. Often, they will not
heed the one that Is old, though
good, because it has become a mono
tone. 1t has lost it's cheer and bright
ness.
And so, Indifference must be met
by loyalty and devotion to ones
dream, which will prove ones sim
certify. 1t must be met by the. spirit
Of the prophet, who feels that he has
a message for men. It must be met
by the fire of enthusiasm which
shall consume not only the
criticisms and the objections OF
the people themselves, but which
will burn up the dross in ones own
character, so that the dream of the
reformer for others good, may be-
come so vital a part of his own life,
that he himself shall become the in
carnation of the vision which he saw
in his most inspired mood.
