Virginia Legislator Contenplates Ae-

Washingtoa.
FINANcIER WON'T RELINoUIsH

Now comes State Senator r. Ewel
Thornton. Of Fairfax County, Va, with
the announcement that he is to institute
court proceedings for the recovery OF ths
will of Martha Washington from ]. p.
Morgan. OF New York.
The good people OF Fairfax are up
in arms over the startling news received
by them recently to the effect that the
will which It is said was stolen from
the record books of the county. has
been discovered in the collection of the
New York financier.
Fairfax County claims that this val
liable relic is its own private property
and Is determined to recover It. The
Virginia State branch Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution appealed to
Mr.. Thornton and the latter has pledged
his word to the members OF that organ
ization that the testament will be recov-
cred.
Correspondence has been exchanged be-
tween Mrs. John S. Barbour. regent of
the Falls Church Chapter Of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, and
Belle Da Costa Green, librarian OF the
Morgan library. showing that the present
possessor of the will Is determined to
keep IL in his possession, though he de-
clares himself perfectly willing to allow
a photograph to be taken of the tesla
ment. He asks. however. as a return
favor, for a Photographic reproduction
Of the will of George Washington. which
is deposited in the archives of Fairfax
County.
Meanwhile efforts are being made. thus
far unsuccessfully, TO find out just how
the will found its way from the Fairfax
County record book into the collection Of
Mr.. Morgan.
When the Virginia State legislature
meets next week State Senator Thornton
will introduce a resolution authorizing
and instrructing the attorney general OF
the State to institute suit against Mr..
Morgan in the United States Supreme
Court for the recovery of the will
Morgan Won't Discuss VIII.
Ne York. Jan. 6.-J. p. Morgan today
declined to discuss the action which the
legislature OF Virginia is said to be con-
templating to recover possession of the
will of Martha Washington, alleged to
have been stolen during the civil war,
and now in Mr.. Morgan's possession. He
not only refused to make any statement
as to his intention, but also refused TO
allow his librarian to answer any ques-
tons connected with it
A search through the art catalogues of
the past fifty years failed to throw any
light on the history Of the WILL and as
far as could be learned the will itself Is
unknown to art dealers in this city.

ference to take precedence over that Of

edge OF the movement. So far as the

The Cause of Failure

not at den6ite, yet they were SIM
liar in meaning.
A large commercial agency,
which is in a position to judge sta
tistically cause and effect, classified
the reasons for failure under eleven
headings, placing lack OF capital at
the top, closely followed by incom-
potency: but the statistics were
gathered from those in business for
themselves and do not directly in
terest salary or wage earners.
II there is a fundamental or basic
reason for failure, covering every
class of toiler and worker, think
it is La-incSs.
The lazy never succeed.
Those who are not lazy may win
out"
With laziness, failure is sure.
Without it, success is possible.
| would go even farther, and say
that most crime is due to laziness,
because the criminal is too lazy to
make the effort to do right, al
though he may unconsciouSly work
harder in doing wrong.
Most drunkenness, | believe. is due
TO lazincss and TO an unwillingness
on the part OF the drinker to make
the effort TO overcome his habit.
Low standing in school is almost
exclusively due to lazineSs. for any
one with an ordinary mind can pass
the average examination and stand
we'll in his class.
To sum up, then, should say
that the principal cause of success is
an undying determination to win.
backed by a constant willingness to
do the hardest kind of work; and
the cause of most failures, except
where there is unavoidable incorA-
potency or lack of opportunity, is
pure and simple laziness, which
doesn't permit one to use his nat
ural energy, but tempts him to loaf
and to float.

VATHY do some people succeed
" while others fail! Is there,
or can there be, staked out
a road which will carry its follow
ers to success and will protect them
against disaster? / think not; and,
if there were, half of those travelling
it wouldn't know enough to follow
it.
Neither | nor anybody else can
tabulate the real causes which lead
to failure, or present any rule,
which, if followed, will carry one
to success. At the same time, there
are certain fundamental principles
which successful men follow and
which failures ignore.
l asked a number of men OF,
marked attainment, who collective
ly represented the leading bust
nesses, trades, and professions, to
answer this question TO what
cause, more than TO any other, do
you think is due the majority of
failures?"
Two hundred and eighty-seven
replies were received. The answers
were too scattering in their import
to establish a law of failure-mak-
ing. Still, a recapitulation of the
result should be of practical use to
those who would succeed and would
avoid failure.
Thirty-six of the men gave lack
of judgment as the principal cause
of failure. Thirty-three named ex-

twenty-three. lack of ability; eight
