Thus NE have the thing we term
wealth--houses. palaces. novels. cities,

which has been created by him
through his energy. by arresting ma
ture.
But something else has happened
meanwhile. II Is about like this:
In every 100 men. say. there win be
one who has something else besides
energy. He has brains. He Ii natur-
ally superior to the rest At first his
superiority may be only the breadth
OF a hair. 1t Is Just enough for him
to differentiate himself from the nine

Is slight. ~ %,4 s- .ssa la.+ts
What has this man discovered?
Merely that he lis capable of playing a
trick upon the rest. He says: you
are doing 1t this way; this is a pretty
good way. OF course. but think !
know better. At present each one
OF you is working on his own hook,
and sometimes you work against each
other-without meaning to, Of course.
Now If you will let me direct your
movements q little, can produce
twice as much wealth as you are pro-
ducing at present"
so the man. who really makes
bargain with each one OF the ninety
and nine naturally gets his profit
from each one. The rest don't real
lie this. Each one thinks he Is the
only one concerned. In short time
the man with brains owns about nine
tenths of all the wealth that the en-
ergy of the ninety and nine men has
created. This gives him more leisure
to think and to develop other plans.
He then creates, from the resources
of his own mind. three things. name
ly, religion. law and government.
With religion he solaces the ninety
and nine poor devils who have new
er learned to think, and II anyone
argues with him about it, he says:
Ssh. would you deprive them Of their
greatest consolation? Apostate!"
With law he arranges process OF
selection so that the wealth which Is
constantly being created by the rine-
ty and nine will all go to hts own
heirs and assigns. He forti6es him
self thus against his own indiscre-
tions. so that his children, who may
not, and probably viii not, have any
brains at all. will be able to float
along ON the tire OF wealth the nine.

Work is being pushed on the marine

probably will be completed in time to
hau out large majority Of the boats on
the club roster before the coming of ice

The railway will be more than 1870 feet
long in order to have it extend to deep
water and cradle will be built this fall
large enough to take out all except the
largest vessels of the pleasure fleet Later
another cradle. smaller than the one now
being built. will be constructed, and so
rugged that the two cradles can be used
as one for the hauling OF the big launches
or independently to take out the smaller
craft.
At the shore end of the railway a turn
table will be constructed and a car will
be used to move the launches from the
railway to the point on the grounds
where they are to be placed on blocks
for the winter.
Early in the spring the work of improv-
ing the grounds about the Corinthian
clubhouse will be started. 1t is planned
to make 1t one of the prettiest places in
this section.

it is not so easy for him to race about

CUBAN PARTY TO CEASE

Liberals Will Carry Election
Troubles to Courts Instead
of Fighting.

The decision of the liberal party in

abandon the former custom of expressing
its dissatisfaction at defeat al the cleo
tons by taking to the BUSH is be-
lieved in official circles here to mark z
distinct and permanent advance toward
the stability of the Cuban republic.
The reports to the State Department
to pursue purely legal methods to obtain
a fair settlement of their charges of
fraud i'm the recent election confirm the
press accounts in every particular.
1t is declared that this desirable result
was attained as the direct recognition
of the purpose of the United States gov
eminent under the treaty with Cuba TO
prevent revolutions i'm defiance of the
expressed will of a majority of the people
of the island.
Decision of Convention.
At the convention resolutions Were
adopted declaring that only legal meas
ures will be taken regarding the election
problems. 1t was decided to request
President Gomez to dismiss Gen. Monte
agudo the commander-in-ch chief of the
Cuban army, now on three-montn
leave of absence. for his actions in the
elections 1t WAS also determined to
appeal to the courts TO annul the cleo
tions i'm those places where frauds were
committed. Liberal members of congress
will be instructed TO bring before con-
acts of Monteagudo and some other army
officers. The speakers were generally
opposed to any illegal proceedings or
any revolutionary movement.

CARE IN DRIVING
OVER CRUSHED STONE.

When county road commissioners
are repairing the highways with crush
ed stone, motorists find many stretches
that look alarmingly harmful to their
tires. A little care in driving over
places where ruts and hollows have
been filled with crushed stone will
prevent injury to the tires, says the
Tire Man.
The best way to proceed when it is
found impossible to avoid short dis
lance of stony road is TO take it at
reduced speed after releasing the
clutch in the middle of the stony part,
which would necessitate a fresh start
while on the stones.
In case of a long distance Of stony
road, when it would be impossible to
coast" over the entire distance, the
best thing to do is to throw in the first
speed going over the stony part slow
ly. 1t may be explained that as the
shocks of the road increase with the
increased speed of the car, the cut
ting of the tires by the sharp stones
will be reduced to minimum when
proceeding in the manner suggested.
