Family Cough Syrup

SELF EDUCATION.

There is "A widespread belief that the man
who has not had the advantages of a college or
even a hlgh-schoOl education must forever be
classed uneducated This is an error While
the high school and college training is a great
help TO men who have made good use of the time
spent in gaining it, it is by no means the only
road to travel TO become educated. especially
along technical and industrial lines. There are far
more facilities today for self education than there
were a generation ago.
Self education is not easy. \ large measure
Of pluck and perseverance is required to push
steadily ahead and overcome the many Obstacles
There is no need. however. to become discouraged
1t is uphill work to be sure, but the reward for
patient effort is well worth going after. Mary
OF our most successful men in business politics
and engineering, educated themselves The fact is
it is the man more than the school that counts
1t Is the man with the strong will that gets ahead
He makes a way for himself The man who wish
es to succeed III any calling must thoroughly I'M
derstand the principles and details of it, This
can be aimed through study and observation.
Since the coming Of correspondence schools
and there are several reliable ones-home- study
courses can be had dealing with almost every Sci
ence and industry, with the work laid out in
logical order Specially and carefully prepared
textbooks furnished covering the complete
courses The study of good correspondence
school course has helped, is helping, and will help
many to become competent to hold positions of
greater responsibility than before they took up
the studies.
1t is possible, was pointed out in recent
article in Mining and Engineering World. to ac-
qure an education by the study of suitable text
books Independently Of any school In such cases
1t is difficult often to make proper selection of
textbooks adapted to self instruction 1t can be
done, however. Advice in the selection of books
can usually be obtained Results will come to
the man who will keep interested and knuckle
down to his studies.

THE MAINE S" KEY WEST DEAD.

Opinion i'll naval circles and more especially in
those quarters having close remote connection
with the raising of the battleship Maine from the
bottom of Havana harbOr is obviously rather in
cIined to remain unmoved-for the present, at
lCaSt-by the most recent disclosures due to the
progress Of the work; but lay opinion is apparent
~ stronger than ever before that the vessel was
destroyed by an exterior explosion and that of
course, the work that of an enemy of the
United States. There is still one consideration.
however, that still gets little or no attention in
this connection, either official or lay 1t is passed
over entirely in this very common sense comment
by the Washington Post.
The real reasons for going forward with
out loss OF time in the removal of the wreck
are those of interest to the United States
alone. sense Of patriotism calls for the re-
coVelS OF the bodies Of the dead sailors while
sentiment equally genuine, although not so
easy to describe, demands that the last YES
tlgeS of the disaster be withdrawn from sight
II the process OF removal disclOses that the
damage was external, it will do just that and
no more. There can be no after effects; and
1t would be just important to ask who
stole the gates of GAIA as to agitate afresh
the question of who laid the mine and touched
off the destructive charge.
n sense OF patriotism does most assuredly call
and call loudly-for the recovery of the bodies
OF the dead sailors of the Maine who sacrificed
their lives in the service of their country and for
their fitting interment and the marking of their
last resting places by memorials under the di-
rectlon and the perpetual care of the United
States. But what of the other bodies of sailors
that were recovered from the wreck almost i'm
medlaely following the destruction of the large
battleshp? They lie buried in the sands Of the
United States military reservation on the island
of Key West-have rested there for thirteen wears
and more with little or no care and with popular
interest IN the graves minus quantity, apparent
~, and with no sense of patriotism moving any,
body toward better things in their behalf
All these defenders of their country died to-
gether, as they had been trained together as sea-
fighters and labored together from day to dav.
In death they ought not to be separated 1t mat
tiers not what the provisions of the appropriation
act may be, the United States government ought
to lose no time in providing for the removal of
the Key West bodies to the National Cemetery at
Arlington.

THE PUBLISHERS LEGACY.

We know it is sort of habit with the general
public to run down their local paper, but did you
ever investigate the matter of publishing a good
paper? Little towns have little newspapers You
can't expect town this size to print an Atlanta
Constitution, because we haven't the patronage.
In most it has been our observation that the
newspapers IA credit to their respective towns.
Sometimes you will find sorry paper that does
not make decent effort at doing its best but if
you do not think the Journal will compare favor
ably with any paper in any town twice this size
get other papers and compare them If you will
we will guarantee you will be convinced.
But while the journal is open to legitimate
criticism by its friends and patrons yet do
not welcome the cheap, unqualified, Slanderous
feelings of the people who are habitua knockers
and who are frivolous and irresponsible. We do
not cater to such persons We like to please, but
we are not even out to please such these, be-
cause life is too short-EHtract from Piedmont

MAIL ORDER
HOUSE BUSY

Despite assertions of dry" advo-
Gates to the contrary, it appears to
be definitely established that Los
Angeles, or at least a part of it,
is taking a decided interest in
making Bakersfield dry" and Tues
day IA city official received a letter
from the Capital Liquor company
Of that city, asking for the name
of all the liquor houses of Bakers
field, retail and wholesale, and stat
ing significantly that the Capitol
company has gone exclusively into
the mail order business and that
they will be ready to meet every
demand of Bakersfield citizens in
the event this town abolishes sa-
looms.
The Capitol company is one of
the largest liquor houses in Los
Angeles and they are taking such
an interest in Bakerfield's election,
peCduSe Ihey see ultimate gain for
themselves. it is said.
At the time a Bakersfield man
was quoted some time ago as say
ing that Los Angeles was inter-
ested in the election to be I
here, there was instant denial made
in certain quarters, but with the
letter to the city official which is
on record and which may be con-
suited by any one interested, it is
shown conclusively that the bushes
interests or at least apart which
will be helped if Bakerfeld goes
dry are keeping close watch on
the progress of the campaign here.
