Why EMPLOYERS WANT
YOUNG MEN

An Editor Of a daily paper, when
asked why he did not employ men
over FIFTY, replied: Although a man
may do just as much work after this
age, he takes himself too seriously.
He did not like to have people
around him from whom the youthful
spirit had e~vaporated. He wanted
optimism-men ia whom hope was
large. He wanted the exuberance,
the enthusiasm and the zest which
usually belong to younger men.
1t is not SO much a question OF
years as it is a question OF the loss oil
buoyancy, of hopelulness, OF that ex.
uberance which is characteristic O.
Young life. If a man has been gooc
to himself in his earlier years, ii hi
has taken good care Of his youthful
joyful nature, if he has not sappe'
his vitality by u%nscienlilIc. viciou
living, if h. has practiced plain Iivin
and high thinking. has conserved hi
energy. his life force, has not owe
strained his resources, he IS your
at almost any age,
Ii is the burned-out, the spent ms

Thus it can be seen that the sue cesses Of the democrats and their single defeat in Arizona within the last ten years, during which the so- cialists have rapidly increased in strength, have never been contingent upon the action Of the socialists. Thus also, it can be seen that the Dispatch editor is foolishiy writing about something oT which he knows noth- ing.
 The socialist vote in the forthcom- ing election. will show a decided de crease, for which our socialist friends may blame the republican enabling act. Socialist strength lies chiefly in the ranks ol labor which in this state is largely employed in the mines and dependent industries.
