EASY TO TELL REAL GENIUS
Man With Capacity for Infinite Toll
10 tho One So GlorIousiy
Endowed.

Genius is always nine parts gift
of God. A gifted person may learn
something at school, but he becomes
great, as Ruskin says. only when he
develops that peculiar capacity within
himself which he can learn from mo-
body,
How is one to know whether he Is a
genius or not, whether those strivings
within him are the ferment Of medi-
ocrity or the first push Of superior
talent? The woods are full Of young
people who think they can write
stories or poems, or paint. or sing. or
perform upon musical instruments. or
act. How are they to know II they
be real natural-born geniuses?
Perhaps the best test Is this. A
real genius usually has such q passion
for his work that no power on earth
can keep him from It. In other words.
Carlyle's dictum holds true, that gen.
Jus is the capacity for infinite toll. II
you are God endowed one, therefore.
you will know 1t by your unconquer.
able Joy and courage. II you are q
second-rater you will give up, and be
easily turned away into money-mak'
ing.

Returns on the state ticket below

ably more than $4,000.
Former Gov. Chase 8. Osborn, who
ran against Ferris. was the only Re-
publican defeated on the state ticket.
The Republicans won in every dis
trict except the First and Second, at
the same time defeating Michigan's
two Progressive congressman, who
sought reelection.
Returns on legislative candidates
show that the Progressives have been
defeated. and that both branches Of
the legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican. the Democrats losing
ground in both houses.
The total vote Is around $4,000, a
loss Of about ten thousand from the
vote of four years ago, the last of
year. and a shrlnkage Of about one
hundred and sixty-five thousand from
the total vote of 1912.
The falling OF Of the vote Is, at
tributed to the number Of Progressives
who saw no hope for their own ticket.
but who refused to vote for the can.
didates on the other party tickets.
Returns ON the four constitutional
amendments are slow in coming in. as
election boards have apparently L.
nored them. but the vote In the coun.
ties that have reported indicates the
defeat of the insurance amendment by
an overwhelming majority.
The amendments giving the legis
lature the power to bond for good
roads. and giving the right to bond
for drains. etc., are also meeting much
| opposition. The amendment to ena
BILE students and travelling men to vote
away from home is the only one of the
four that received favorable considera

close that 1t may be defeated.
