ing how to use, not how to abuse liquor.
People are turning away from alcoholic
excess. All the government need do is
to cooperate with this popular move
ment by restrictions and distinctions
such as here suggested. In that way
the traffic will be made to serve use and
not to augment abuse.
But the large brewing and :distilling
interests will have to cooperate with the
government. They can't simply back
up to the wall and fight desperately
for the old conditions. They can't
oppose the public successfully in q
simple holding out for unrestrained sale
sof liquor. They have got to concede q
great deal to the opinion that is not
Prohibitionist, but is hostile to liquor
laxity and liquor domination in politics.
II they don't meet the people much more
than half way, the beer and liquor
industry will be destroyed and the
country given over to an endless war

The progressiveness, liberality and
far-sightedness of some of our citizens
have made possible the provision for an
electric railroad to be built from Min
neapolis to Sleepy Eye. The citizens
of Sleepy Eye raised the sum of $4,000
when they were required to raise but
$4,000 in stock purchases. This is an
indication Of the enthusiasm that has
prevailed over the idea of getting an
other railroad to our city. The farmers
in the neighborhood of Golden Gate
quoted by Mr.. Bell as 'the most
enthusiastic bunch of farmers in the
world" raised $4,000 in but very short
time that they would have access to
the Luce Electric Short line. Sleepy
Eye is now safe-better yet she is re-
inforced with possibilities that will
make her and the surrounding country
greater, bigger, richer and more mag
nifcent than the most optimistic dream
er ever dared venture before. Sleepy

Hutchinson is to have paint factory.
The only exclusive paint store in that
city find their business increasing so
rapidly that they have decided to
manufacture their own goods. They will
buy raw materials at the factories and
and put on the market a class Of goods
that they can guarantee. The equip
ment for the factory will consist of
grinding and mixing machinery which
will be operated by electric motors.
Such an equipment will cost them $4,000.

New Ulm review., 1914-12-30
sELF-PITY.

Self-pity is the act Of feeling sorry
for yourself. You sit down and weep
because you are not appreciated or
worshipped as you feel you should be.
Not being appreciated, you cast about
for reasons. 1t is only a step to find
them. You are hated folks are plot
ting against you. Unconsciously, the
self-pity habit brings indifference, then
contempt for everybody with whom
the individual associates. We should
take the bumps that life sends and re-
gard them as lessons.
/ Life is struggle against our own
limitations. If we pity anyone, let's
pity the folks who have to live with us.
It is a privilege to live, to engage in
the struggle for existence, to fight for
the right, and if need be, to suffer and
die for it, To have pain is. proof you
are alive. Dead ones have. no pain.
Those who are alive are bound to suffer.
This is a part of the great education
of every Individual who really lives
and achieves. To go down, and ac-
knowledge you are down, is the only
defeat. When you indulge in self-pity
you are on the slide, reaching for the
swab. Mans business is to surmount,
to arise, to aviate; and when he begins
to help himself, he grows strong and
everybody will help him.
Self-pity is the first stage of paronia;
and paronia is disease of the brain that
comes from continual thinking of ones
ownself, and dwelling on slight fancied
insults. If we fail in an undertaking
we blame others. If we succeed we take
all the credit to ourselves. 1t is very
much easier to blame someone else than
to face the issue; and so we hide our
blunders behind an excuse, involve self
pity, explain the matter to anyone who
will listen, to get them, if possible, to
help feel sorry for us.
Self-pity involves hypocrites who
pretend that they feel sorry for us,
when the fact is, that down deep in their
hearts, they think less of us for every
whine, every crouch and every growl.
When we explain, when we accuse, when
we denounce others, self-pity begins to
consume us, and power takes wings.
Garry your chin and the crown of your
head high. Keep your mouth closed
your eyes open, and breathe through
your nose. Don't bewail to others.
Time is great adjuster of all wrongs,
and in the course of even a short life
time we get all that is due us. That is
to say, we get all we give. Is hate my
portion just now? Life is shooting the
chutes. Take your bumps and don't
whine. There is quiet, safety and rest
in silence, down at the bottom where you
are headed for; and there will be plenty
of time to enjoy them, too. Let's be.
grateful that we are alive. There are
over ninety million folks in America who
never played us single nasty trick.

THE PROHIBITION VOTE IN CON-
-',,. GRESS. "

VIM. Marion Reedy of the st. Louis
Mirror, writes on prohibition so sanely
and fairly that he manages to cover
every point of the question and lays the
subject clearly before the reader. Since
this question is one that must be settled
shortly we believe in giving our readers !
the benefit of Mr.. Reedy's views, as
follows:
Congressman Hobson's resolution for
national constitutional amendment
for nationwide Prohibition received
1877 votes There were 189 votes against
it. The vote required for adoption,
two-thirds, was 289. Now, don't think
the vote was great "wet" victory. At
the rate Prohibition is progressing, it
will not be long until the necessary 100
votes will be secured, for the Prohi-
bitionist propaganda never sleeps.
Missouri defeated Prohibition some years
ago by stupendous majority, but all
of Missouri's congressman except five
voted for the Hobson proposal. Three
of those were from St. Louis districts and
Mr.. Speaker Clark did not feel called
upon to vote. Missouri is Democratic
State and the votes of her congressman
show the drift of public sentiment. It
seems to me that in no little while the
=. time must come when the votes to pass
, such resolution will be Forthcoming,
D if the vote be taken in the open. Con-
e gressmen from other States will be

THE FAIR PROVES TO
Be A FINE SHOW.

The third annual Dickson Count,
Fair, which was held hera lasj
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday
was a most successful affair from
both business and educatiouai
standpoint,
Large crowds attended each day
and enthusiasm ran high. The ex.
hibits surpassed expectations in
both number ,and excellence, and
the Secretary. W. III. Walker, under
whose supervision the fair was held
deserves praise and congratulations
Tor the business like manner in
which ii was conducted. And
those who had control OF The differ.
ent departments are also to be con-
graduated for the good manage.
ment in which they conducted their
respective departments.
The music furnished by the noted
Yellow Creek Band, and Prof.
owanks Orchestra was highly en.
loyed by all, and Miss Dockie Ann
Shlpp and her expression class are
duvmuch credit for the manner in1
which they entertained the large
crowds both Wednesday and Thurs
day nights.
While the admission receipts did
not come up to expectations. owing
to the fact that many beat their
way IN by exchanging tickets etc,
yet 1t is thought that the fair will
he self-sustaining, but this cannot
be lully determined until all Of the |
checks for premiums, labor and |
other expenses come in and are
figured up. AS soon as possible. |
It Is the seoretary's intention to
make statement OF all the receipts
and disbursements OF the fair.
which will be published in this
paper, so as to let the people know
Just what was done.
Take il all in all, we are OF the
opinion that the citizens Of Dickson
County. and especially those who
.ook an active part. have a Just
light to feel proud of our county
md her third annual fair.

~ no armed conflict IN our great
land, but Tennessee has had her
period OF social strife and disorder.
Ne have had hate and bitterness;

prompt men 10 such conduct. The
reason for this unreasonable strife
ended with your selection as leader
