Why Some Get Rich.

The accumulation of capital by
saving is largely question of self
control and character, The power
to resist self-indulgence for the
sake of distant gam lies at the
bottom of the growth of capital.
The majority of people who are
poor are so because they spend un-
wisely and to the limit of their in.

frequently people Of slender means
buy articles which are regarded as
unnecessary luxuries by the we'll.

brightness and their optimism and

1--WE have such good times" said
one OF the girls, 1--WE could not help
being we'll and happy" and the
question as to how the time was
occupied from day to day brought
forth the information that the girls
are always undisturbed in the
morning. They may breakfast in
pea, II they Wish, may rest the en-
tire Notwithstanding else they
wish. In the afternoons, they sew,
mend, study, and take as much out
door exercise as possible. They all
skate, and are fond Of all outdoor
sports. Next comes dinner and
preparations for their evening ap-
pearance. No rehearsing is done
while on the road-six weeks hav-
ing been devoted to this particular
phase of their work during the
summer.
All the girls except two are past
the public school age and all are

in their performances should be at

President Taft's Views on Conservation.

The presidents views concerning
Conservation are timely given. This
word is fast acquiring the reputa-
ton of panacea for all ills, social
and political as we'll as industrial.
In order to be effective conservation
must be made definite. A partic-
ular and definite detect must be
first shown to exist and some spec
ific and definite remedy applied.
The term must be restricted to its
proper use. The haphazard use of
the term robs it OF its power and
makes Intellectual very effective
remedy for avoiding existing and
unnecessary eas:es.
In these days there is a DISPOSE
ton to look too much to the federal
government for everything. l am
liberal in the construction of the
constitution with reference to fed.
eral power; but I am firmly con.
WINGED that the only safe course for
US to pursue is to hold fast to the
limitations of the constitution and
to regard as sacred the powers of
the states.
] am bound to say that the time
has come for halt in general
rhapsodies over conservation, max
ing the word mean every known
good in the world; for, after the
public attention has been reused,
such appeals are of doubtful utility
and do not direct the public to the
specific course that the people
should take. or have their legislat-
ors take, in order to promote the
couse of conservation.
The rousing of emotions on
subject like this, which has only
dim outlines in the minds of the
people affected, after while ceases
to be useful, and the whole move.
ment will, if promoted on these
lines, die for want of practical direc-
tons and OF demonstration to the
people that practical reforms are
intended.-Bonds and Mortgages.
This movement, like all others of
great movement must pass through
an elementary and evolutionary
period. At the present time the
greatest need is information. The
people at large are not familiar
with the sources of waste, much
less the means of prevention. 1t is
a field which few care to investigate
for themselves. Some one must
gather the facts and present them
to the reading and thinking public.
There are many with expert ability
and technical training who are al
ready blazing the trail. But it will
be only when the rank and file have
faniliarized themselves with con-
ditions that the great strides will be
taken. When the movement has
reached this stage adequate and
efficient remedies will come forth.
