A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

Clos Angeles Dispatch to N. Y. Times)
Henry E. Huntington, who at the age
of 63, is retiring from business as rap
idly as possible, but whose fortune OF
$4O,OO0,000 or $50,OO0,OOO will keep
right on working for him, said that
the habit of saving paved the road to
wealth. Mr.. Huntington will leave Los
Angeles for New York, and plans to
sail soon for his first trip. to Europe
He has been busy here retiring from
business. and he will keep at it in New
York until he starts abroad.
Mr. Huntington believes that this is
an age of great opportunity for young
men, and this is his recipe for success:
Save little every week, and when
you get an increase of wages or sal
airy continue to live within the former
limits and save the increase.
IF you find it difficult to save 60 n
debt for home or undertake some
other obligation in the way of invest
ment that will compel you to save.
In these days, of course, the aver
age man has better opportunity to win
success in salaried positions than in
individual enterprise The big enter
prises pay big salaries at the top, and
close application will win promotion
toward these bigger rewards. 1t is not
necessary for man to get big sal
airy before he begins to put money
aside and start it working for him"

JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS
(Florida Times nion.)

President Wilson has appointed John
Shelton Williams assistant secretary
of the treasury. This appointment;
strikes nearer to Florida than any that
has yet been made, for while other ap-
.pointees may live nearer the state NJ
Others have so much interest in it.
The treasury department has at its
head two great builders, both born in
the South and one still living in this
section. Secretary McAdoo, born in
Georgia and living long in Tennessee
was appointed from New York. As
sistant Secretary Williams is Vir-
ginian by birth and residence.
Mr.. McAdoo will always be known
for his work in tunneling the Hudson
Others dreamed of it; he did it. Mr.
Williams as builder has not been SO
spectacular but has been fully as use
full. He more than any other man de.
serves the honor of building the Sea-
board Air Line. which is now splen-
did Southern system of railways. Mr..
Williams is also president of the Geor.
gia and Florida railroad, extending
from Augusta, Ga, to Madison, Fla.
Mr.. Williams is full of energy and
has a thorough knowledge of finance.
We are confident that he will fill his
new position with credit to himself
and profit to the country.
President Wilson is fortunate in
daawing to his side men of affairs who
have found business employment so
profitable that they were not tempted
by official salaries. They are men who
serve the government at a personal
loss, if measured in dollars and cents
and who would not serve at all if they
did not value the honor of the position
above wealth and did not intend 10
give to the people the benefit of the
talents they have heretofore used so
successfully for themselves.
The Times-Union is especially pleas
ed with the appointment because Mr..
Williams is a Democrat, a Southerner
and, more to the point, a man of high
character and great ability. He is one
OF the class of men the country needs

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Strong commentator should be
given the mayor and city administra-
ton of Americas for the action taken
by them at the recent session of coun-
Gil with the end in view of making a
request of the county commissioners
that the principal streets of the city
be worked by the convicts.
This is but right and just. The
working of the principal streets Of
the city, which are but sections Of
county roads that lead through the
city, is nothing more than working the
county roads. 1t should be done as It
matter of common justice, as the city
Of Americas pays a very large part o.
the total taxes paid by the county.
Already the precedent exists in the
working of the streets through Plains.
Leslie and other towns in the county
outside of Americas by the convict
forces. Only Americas, among the
places of any size in the county, has
been overlooked in this procedure.
That it shall not be overlooked longer
is the demand that the city authorities
will make at the next meeting of the
county commissioners in April.
The action taken by the members Of
the city council when the matter was
brought up for consideration was SO
definite and so unanimous that it re.
fleets the sentiment relative to this
question which has crystallized in the
minds of the members of the city ad-
ministration. The city of Americas
will ask of the county that this SER
vice be rendered, and there is no doubt
but that the county commissioners
will render it as a matter of simple
justice and fair play, just as similar
work has been done for the other
towns in the county under the direc-
ton of the commissioners.

THE BUSY WOMAN
AND HER GARDEN

The busy woman may love flowers
quite as much as the woman of leis-
ure, but she is often prevented from
undertaking the culture of them be-
cause of lack of time to give them
the attention they require. To such
women the perennials commend them
selves for the following reasons:
They are easy to grow.
They are profuse boomers.
And, once established, they are good
for an indefinite period. The perennial
garden does not have to be made each
year.
The plants will require some atten-
ton each season, of course. but this
will be SO slight, when compared win
that demanded by even few ANNALS,
that the argument is strongly in their
favor. This attention will, as a gen.
eral thing, consist of hoeing up the
soil about them in order to keep the
grass from encroaching upon them,
applying some fertilizer in spring and
furnishing support for some of the
tall growing kinds like delphiniurn.
whose habit of growth is so slender
that the stalks are often broken down
in summer by sudden winds and hea-
Wy rains. But all these items of at
tention amount to but little when COM
pared to spading up the soil, making
beds, sowing seed and the weed-pulling
all of which must be done when an,
nuals are grown. / do not mean,
however, to discourage the guilty l.
ton of ANIMALS in saying this. The
idea that l have in mind is-that the
woman whose time for cultivation Of
flowers is limited, will find that hardy
perennials require SO little care that
she can we'll afford to undertake the
culture of them. All of their needs
can be attended to between times" in
the little intervals of leisure which
come even to the busiest woman, while
to grow even the least exacting of
our ANIMALS she will be Obliged to
give time and labor in sufficient guam
tity to interfere seriously with the
york of the household. For when
plants need attention it must be given
them. They cannot be made to wait
for "a more convenient season" with
cut running the risk of injury-Eben

TIE GREED OF THE PATRONAGE
SEEKER

President Wilson is beginning to ex-
perience what every president and ev-
cry officer of influence in public life
must face in the criticism of disgruntl-
ed Office seekers. There is never en-
ough patronage to go around, and the
dispenser of the offices is Away blam-
ed for the scarcity as well as for the
fact that he cannot appoint everyone
who applies.
In speaking of this disagreeable de-
mand upon the energy and good will
of the chief executive of the nation the
New York World makes the following
pertinent observations:
President Wilson does not meet the
expectations of the office-seekers. NJ
president ever did. Jefferson was
forced to write one of his matchless
letters on the subject. The elder Har-
rison was hurried to his death by i'm
portunity. Lincoln was more harassed
by place-hunters than by the awful i'm
minence of civil war. The easy-going
GARFIELD was murdered by a disapp-
ointed applicant. How shall this craze
for position be mitigated?
Exclusive of the army and navy and
the laborers at Panama, the govern
ment service embraces 391 900 per
sons. No doubt somebody wants 20
displace every one of them. Is it pos
sible to imagine a president of the
United States newly in office at
tempting in a week or a month to
meet and pass upon the claims of all
these aspirants? Is it even conceiv,
able that he could do so with the as
sistance of every member of his
cabinet and every member of con-
gress?
The new president takes refuge be-
hind the civil service law, behind the
tenure in Office law and behind his
high sense of duty, but most of all be-
hind his ideals of right and decency
and order. Everything in this world
is relative, especially in high places.
The greater must not be sacrificed for
the less. Details must not destroy es-
sentials The interests of individuals
must not be pleaded as against the
general welfare.
Men posing as Democrats who en-
courage the outcry against President
Wilson's determination to systematic
the distribution of patronage are DENT
ocracy's worst enemies. High or low.
they deserve nothing but condemnq-
ton. The time to meet and defeat.
their threats is now. If public obliga-
lions must wait upon the distractions
of the spoils gluttons the delay SHOULD

by Alice Cary)
True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing, each day that goes by,
Some little good-not in dreaming
OF great things to do by and bye
For, whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure,
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and feel
pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men
We cannot make bargains for misses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets,
And sometimes the things our life
misses
Helps more than the things which it
gets
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small;
But just in the doing and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Through envy. through malice, through
hating,
Against the world early and late,
No iot of our courage abating
Our part is to work and to wait
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his
worth,
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes at birth.
