The Lions In The Way

Many Young peoplewho lack "gump-
tion," get-up and-get, or whatever you
may term it, often reasons thusly:
If it had not been for so and so and
such and such q thing, l could make
a great success. The lions in the way
of these young people and such sue
cessful career is barred by the ifs and
the ands that enter into their daily
life and rob them of their vim and
courage. They are the breastworks
thrown up by the weak and vacillating
which beguile and deceive, and which
are offered as excuses for many fail
ures. The lions in the way and no.
thing more.
Young people who lack these quail
tiles need our help: our life work is
to train Young people to determine, to
get up and do the things the CONNER
cial world wants done, develop their
latest talents, quicken their perception
teach them Bookkeeping Business
Training, Shorthand, Typewriting,
Telegraphy, Station Work, Business
English, Business Law, Business
Arithmetic, Spelling, Business Writ
ing, Rapid Calculation, and the use
OF the most modern Office appliances.
With such training the lion is put out
OF the way. We have trained thous-
ands who are now on the road to sue
cess, and we can do the same for you.

arrangements to enter as early as pos.

In another column of this issue OF
tae JOl RIVAL is given list Of many
of the principal Louisiana commodi-
ties that will be effected by the pro-
posed Canadian reciprocity treaty.
This treaty will, as we understand it,
work hardship upon the lumber in
terests Of the United States, but as
these same Lumber Interests have been
working a hardship upon the masses
of the people for a number Of years,
it will but furnish relief where it has
been needed. Not only will it furnish
relief from the oppressively high pric-
es of lumber but will also furnish re-
lief along many other lines. The time
is coming when many of the leading
thinkers OF the country, of both,
or ali parties are fully convinced
that our protective tariff system is
responsible for much Of the present
high cost of living. A just reciprocity
treaty will undoubtedly be of great
benefit to the people as whole. The
protection Of our infant industries
which have become stronger than the
government itself is afarce that should
not be tolerated BY thinking people.

Al the risk of being considered a
knocker against and fault finder with
existing conditions, we again make a
plea for the Enforcement of the city
ordinance against Yagrancy. AS near
as we can learn, little or no effort is
being made to inforce this ordinance,
although it is a well known fact that
scarcely a day goes by, but that there
are one or more beggars in town.
While it is not known who broke into

hundred dollars worth of goods, it is
a pretty safe guess that it was done by
transients, who would more than like.
Nv have been reclining in the city hold
over, ii the ordinance against vag-
rancy had been enforced. Nor is the
loss sustained by our merchants, by
these frequent robberies, the principal
cause for alarm. Only a week ago a
large barn and dwelling, which hap
pened to be empty. was burned to the
ground, q few miles west OF Welsh, in
all human probability due to tramps
having started fire and left it, To
the case of the iewelry store robbery,
there was unmistakable evidence to
show that the thieves dropped burning
matches in drawers containing paper
and other infammable material. a
little carelessness on the part of these
irresponsibles, would give Welsh an
other experience similar to thatof last
Easter. A strict enforcement of the

they are going to haye to pay the
Exposition tax voted last fall, they
may ease their minds of further worry

one of the most interesting and

which he lost by only u votes. Jones

out of a total of little over 800
votes.
If these returns mean anything
they Indicate that Jones will pull
down the election for superintendent
of public instruction on December
18th. for he is making n campaign
that looks like a winner. one along
partisan lines. Prof. Jones
maintains that he is. i'm the true
sense. merely one of two applicants
for the position of state superinten-
dent Of public instruction, for he says
that he is seeking, at the hands OF
the voters. who are trustees of the
school system of Arizona, an office
which is in line with his professional
training and life work.
Many of the voters and trustees
of all parties will no doubt agree
with Professor Jones i'm his concep-

eide that they want him for state
