What, after all. il the standard
of success II II is making a
pile Of money, most Of US can I
do it. We haven't the gift.
Like the poet Heine we might
say:
IF it rained silver as it once
did mamma all | should get would
be dents in the head"
II success is achieving power
or fame most os US are counted
out at the start. There ism t
genius enough to go around. If
there were, it wouldn't be genius.
We are just common folks liv-
ing in our little corner of the
world, doing our share of plain,
everyday work, voting when
election day comes, and OF no
particular account to any save
those who happe to love US.
Still. we are important to our
selves. Every moment OF our
brieI lives is precious to US. The
center of the universe flor us) is
right where we stand. And we
are as keen to make a success of
life as the man with a billion and
the man whose name is on every
lip.
Well, then, do these three
things:
Do your work as well as you
can, right up the handle"
Do it lovingly, like conse-
Grated man. Make your work a
prayer.
Use your vote and your inhu-
ence to help the world along to
better things. First for men.
Let money and property look
out for themselves. Fight for
mentor men, women and child
rem!
Love your folk. Love is the
only reality. If you do good
work, it will be because you love
it. If you vote for human good
human good, it will be because
you love humanity. But, any.
how, love your folks-the little
wife, the babies, the old mother
and father-anybody that be
longs to you. And love 'em good
and hard.
No life can fail that fills the
measure of these opportunities.

The number of people tOda,

The number of people today
trying to get rich without labor,
something for nothing, fortunes
in day, are legion, and they
are mighty temptations to the
Industrious young man who can
not understand it. They belong
to the seeming ease and leisure
that comes to them while they
have it so hard Horatious OF
olden times was told that he
could have just as much land as
be could pillow around with yoke
of oxen in one day. He hoOkked
up the oxen to the pillow and he
cut a very large circle, anu
plowed until he came to the
same point where started, and
all that property was his. And
we have to tell you today that
just so much financial, just so
much moral, just so much spirit
ual possession you will have as
you compass with your own in
dustries, and just so much as
from the morning of your life to
the evening of your life you can
pillow around yourself. Go to
the ant, thou sluggard; consider
her ways aud be wise.' One OF
the most awful caldrons Of death
today is an INDECENT life. Thank
God that you have to work. -

Texas is q great State. We do
not fully realize the immensely OF
our resources. No one has ever yet
announced a true conception OF the
greatness Of Texas. The fact OK the
matter 10. we try to measure Texas
with a yardstiek and the mind be-
comes confused In a maze OF cal
culations without gaining the faint
est conception Of the States great
ness.
Our cotton crop (our money erop)
is practically consumed in produo-
ton and if the gross receipts OF our
cotton crop of the past decade we're
available for investments, it would
not build and operate the factories
necessary to manufacture the raw
material now produced on the farm.
An intelligent basis Of calculation IL
pecessary in order to approximately
estimate our capital needed for fac
tory investment. The latest FEEDER
nj Census report on manufacturing
gives the capital invested in cotton
mills in the United States at $685.
1OO,154 and the factories used $685.
047 ,649 in raw material during the
year. From this record, we develop
the general rule that it requires two
dollars Of capital to manufacture one
dollars worth Of cotton and to build
the cotton mills necessary to man
ufacture tho cotton we raise in Tex
as would require $5OO,OOO,Ooo. Then
there is our timber, our livestock and
other materials and Texas is only
one-ffth deleveloped in agriculture.
to say nothing of the raw material
produced in other states and coun-
tries, which pass through our ports
ip search Of the foreign factory, all
Of which should be manufactured in
Texas, will require at least q bill
lion dollars TO build the factories
needed at the present time in this
State and then there are our minerals
sleeping undisturbed, to make no
mention Of our railroad mileage, pub.
lie highways, industrial enterprises
and new cities and improved farms
which will be necessary to our
growth. To develop Texas during
the present century will require an
immediate investment Of ten billions
and when we have realized that this
is most conservative statement,
which every man who studies the sit
uation closely is bound to conclude
then we are ready to stand at our
ports and look towards the sea and
map out a comprehensive plan for
the mastery of the worlds commerce.
