In an interesting article entitled

describes, as follows, the chief char
acteristic of successful people:
Successful men and women are al
most invariably those poss essing to
supreme degree the element of faith.
Faith, absolute, unconquerable faith,
is one OF the essential concomitants,
therefore one of the great secrets OF
success. We must realize, and espec-
tally valuable is it for young men and
women to realize, that one carries his
success or his failure with him. that il
does not depend upon outside condi-
tons. There are some that no cir
or combinations of cir

them. When she meets such, after d

CARE OF PUBLIC ROADS

The recent convention of the Amer
lean Road Congress at Detroit Mich,
has been notable In that it accentuatel
the greatest need of the nation in the
matter of improving the public roads.
Logan Waller Page, who has been re-
elected president, pointed out very
clearly that in the building of modern
types of roads a great deal of money
will be wasted unless there is provis-
ion for systematic maintenance.
Maintenance of the roads, once
they are constructed, is just as i'm.
portant as the original construction
More than 100000 a day is spent
on the roads, but it is doubtful wheth-
er two-thirds of the sum is we'll spent.
Certainly it is not economy to build
expensive types of road and then leave
them to deteriorate in few years,
with the necessity of building them
all over again.
1t would be better to build cheaper
roads and provide a sufficient sum of
money for maintenance Road prob
/ lens, thanks to the scientific work Of
the office of public roads, are being
solved and the whole work is being
| systematized. These yearly meetings
of the read experts of the country
under the banner of the American
Road Congress, are doing much to
teach the country that the legislatures
or even Congress have not finished
their work when they have made ap
preparations. Constant vigilance is
necessary to see that the money is
well spent, and the work of construc-
ton scientifically supervised.
There is no lack of evidence that
Federal aid in the construction OF
roads is to be the live issue before
Congress at the regular session AL
ready the lines are forming with those
who favor the improvement of rural
roads on the one side and those who
favor national highways on the other
While it is desirable that the farmers
should have better facilities for ge--
ting their crops to market over good
roads, it is unfortunately true that ii

DAILY COMMENT ON PEOPLE AND THINGS


Why the cops are hunting down
the gamblers, how about Jim Patten?
And how about all the members of
the stock exchange and the board of
trade?
Or is the game to catch only the
little gamblers?
o yes, it would be very nice for US
to civilize Mexico, but there are few
things left that might be done in the
way of self-civiization right here at
home.
Down there the common people
want the land that has been taken
from them by handful of rich land
lords; and they'll get it if Uncle Sam
minds his own business.
But we are suffering from the same
thing right here in this glorious land
of the free and home of the brave.
Julius RosenWaId says every $40 a
week employee ought to give some
thing to charity.
That means that every employe
working for Julius had better come
across. or his boss won't think he is
a good citizen.
Of course they don't HAVE to, but
a hint sometimes is as good as kick.
Now if the rest of the pIutes adopt
the same policy it will practically
amount to the big employers Of Chi
cago taxing every employe who gets
as much as $40 week.
1t would be better all around it the
people of Chicago would rise in their
might and smash this rich mans
charity trust.

United Charities Needs To Be Told"
Well agree that U. c. needs to be
told good many things, but what in
particular, is the l. o. referring to?
United Charities, by the way, lays
special emphasis on the fact that it
only costs them two per cent to col
leet their money.
We've heard all about that. Sunny
how they forget to tell US all about
how it costs them in the neighbor-

pense of the money they collect.

Mr.. Lindabufy, in arguing for the
measure, said that the immediate oc-
casion of the bill was the action of
the insurance commissioners of the
different States insisting upon mu-
tualization. The proposition. he said,
first came, to him as counsel for the
company from Henry j. Ford. when
the latter was banking and Insurance
commissioner of this State The Pru-

necessity of acquiescing and as a
result a bill has been drawn the con-

surplus thus created, he insisted,
really belonged to the policy holders
themselves and should be given back
to them in dividends from time TO
time as the safe operat ton of the COM
pany would justify He told of for
mer litigation to compel the distribu.
ton of surplus to stockholders and
said the Court of Errors and Appeals
OF the State had approved of the wis

IN distributing considerable amount
of surplus to policy-holders.
A law such as this bill provides
for. Mr.. Lindabury said, was neces-
sary in order to prevent any posi-
BILE elimination of scheme whereby
the present directors might be ousted,
and new board installed who would
give this surplus to the stockholders
instead of the policy holders.
Mr.. Lindabury admitted that there
was an open question as to whether
ONE of this surplus might not be-
long to the stockholders and that this
would be fully taken into considera-
ton by the appraisers in fixing the
amount of money that would be re-
eeived by the stockholders for their
stock. The minority stockholders, he
said. were amply protected because
| they had the right of appeal on the
lquestion of value fixed for their stock
and moreover if they did not want
to sell the stock they need not do so
at all and they would continue in
their present status except that the
majority of the stock would be
owned by the policy holders as a
Whole instead of by individuals.
Mr.. Lindabury also said that the
