MEXICO LOST SIGHT OF.

The civil war in Mexico becomes comparatively
insignificant beside the vast drama opening in
Europe and is almost lost sight of outside of Mexico
But the problems of Mexico yet to be solved, and
the obligations of government in Mexico are
to be fulfilled.
For one thing in the settlement of Mexico .
troubles there Is now less danger of European
meddng, as European governments and commercial
interests will be fully occupied at home. The hands
our government will be freer also, and Mr.. Bryan
may not have to consult the British ambassador
when he contemplates timid step.

scraps of leather cotton waste, Stag,
iron filings, hoofs and horns of cat
tie, abandoned mines, abandoned
farms. One man rises to fame by
means of the odd moments" that
another regards as useless. Each has
the same number of hours in his day.
The difference lies in the use to
which they are put.
From the same material one man
built palace, another hovel. One
surrounds himself with comforts and
luxures. while another with the same
opportunity lives on in poverty and
obscurity. Each one of US has "all
there is" There is no favoritism
with fate in her distribution of time
The world grants all opportunities
to him who can use them. Power and
fortune are hidden away in the hours
and moments as they pass awaiting
the eye that can see, the ear that
can hear, the hand that can do.
But too often we see nothing in our
days, and waste them in longing for
the impossible. like the farmer in
Pennsylvania who became SO infatu-
ated with the desire to get rich from
oil wells that he sold his own farm for
a song and bought a piece of land
near the centre where oil was being
produced in great quantities. But he

who had bought his farm got rich
from an oil well discovered in thu
very swamp which the former owner
had considered worthless.
IL is much the same with us and the
way We regard our time-which Is, in
sense, our capital.
People who trife with the moments.
longing for some unusual chance Or
opening usually do nothing In life tal
build castles In the air. 1t is not
always the boy who is haunted by
visions of wealth" or even the one
who is thrust into the midst of great
opportunities who gets ahead. But.
far, far more often 1t is the boy who
seems to have no chance" but who
doggedly makes use of every minute
of time, and climbs to power on his
firm conviction that time is money"

UPLIFT TALKS
TIME is MONEY

Not long ago the National Associa-
ton of Waste Material Dealers held
a convention in New York city. This
was only the second annual meeting
of the association, but it's member
skip included delegates from every
part of the United States and repre-
sented an investment In this business
of annihilating waste of over seven
hundred million dollars.
Among the many interesting re-
ports read was one on the branch OF
waste reclaim devoted wholly 10
wooden rags-many million dollars
worth of these were exported from
the United States last year to be
manufactured by foreign mills into
the cloth known as "shoddy"
Old tin cans, WORKOUT cooking uten-
sils, discarded hardware of all kinds,
furnished STA. 900, 900 worth of pure
tin iron, Immediately used again in
manufacture.
OF course, this business has been
going ON for years in a small, dis
connected way, throughout all the
larger cities. Now that it is organ
lied and made a factor, as 1t were,
in the social organism, it holds a
social-one might even say, moral
meaning-and carries valuable So
cial lesson.
How many millions of dollars
worth of energy and time do we thow
away daily, wantonly waste in pur-
poseless action or unthinking idle
ness?
On the floor of the gold working
room in the United States mint ct
Philadelphia, there is wooden lat
tieework which Is taken up when
the floor is swept and the fine par
ticles of gold dust-thousands of dol
lars yearly-are thus saved. Every
successful man must have similar
network to catch 1.-THE raspinigs and
parlngs of existence, those leavings
of days and bits of hours" which
most people sweep into the waste of
life.

trifles which others throw away

course of study of the school was
made more practical.
This success at Bristol showed Miss
Hill that much benefit could be given
to the poor of England through edu-
cation, and the rest of her life the
subject of educational reform was
uppermost in her mind; but Miss Hill
was called away from her educational
reforms by her father, who needed
her as his private secretary, and with
him she visited prisons and free
schools throughout the continent of
Europe.
In 1879 Miss Hill was elected to the
school board of London and she
fought for the office successfully for
six triennial elections. During these
eighteen years of public service Miss
Hilrs work in the schools of London
was of incalculable benefit.
About twenty years ago Miss Hill
visited this country and made tour
of the schools on this side of the At
lantic. She was delighted with the
system employed in this country and
one of the things that seemed to
please her most was the fact that
every school in this country had a
piano to help with the singing, march
ing and drilling of the children. She
took the idea back to London, where
it was greeted with amazement, but
through persistent efforts she finally
succeeded in placing a piano in every
school in London.
The youngest child of the king and
queen of Belgium-Princess Marie
Jose-was born eight years ago today.
Her father is the well-beloved King
Albert and her mother is Queen Eliz-
abeth, said to be the most learned
royal woman of Europe.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM THE EXCHANGES

Boss Penrose said that he could get

interesting personality was hat of
Alexander Hamilton Stephens when
he was in his place on the floor of
the house of Representatives at
Washington. There was no more M
pl essive spectacle furnished by any
of the daily incidents in the House
than the constant delicate and SYM

him.
Mr.. Stephens's place upon the ioor
of the House was conspicuous The
House had gladly accorded him the
privilege of occupying small por-
ton of the space in front Of the

place he was wheeled in an invaiid's
chair by devoted attendants. lie was
able by pressure of his hand upon
Tho wheel to move himself about, but
IL frequently happened that he sat
during an entire session without NOV
ing from the spot where his attend
ants had taken his chair.
The weird, almost ghost-like APP
pearance of the man, as well as the
fact that he sat in an invalid's chair,
instantly attracted to him the eyes
of strangers who were in the GAL
leries. When in response to tier
whispered question, who is hat
mani" they were told that he was
Alexander H. Stephens, who had been
Vlce-President of the Confederate
states and who was recognized as one
of the great intellectual forces of the
South. This brief biography of the
man served to intensity the attention
which the galleries gave to him.
It seemed incredible that such
parchment like body should have vi
tality, and this wonder was Increased
when his voice was heard on the rare
occasions when he addressed the
chair. IT was a strong or rather PEN
etrating voice, with an unusual gift
of clear enunciation. Mr.. Stephens
had mastered the art of giving in
pressive infection to his tones OF

The announcement that there has

Cruz speaks volumes for the efficiency
of the sanitary corps of the United
States army. This Mexican seaport
Is anything but naturally healthy

posed alike to the tropical sun in the
sandhills and to the noxious evapora-
lions from the swamps. That under
such conditions the sick rate has been
kept down to 2.43 for the army and
2.s3 for the marines is something that
would have been considered marvel
Gus twenty years ago, but is now
looked on as matter of course. Time
was. and ii hasn't been so long ago,
when disease was more destructive
than the bullet. and a summer cam

health follows the flag, and disease
has no terrors for the army and the
field. Verify. tbs nothing short of a
miracle what modern sanitary science

We long ago accepted the doctrine
that Mr.. Roosevelt was the only or
the zone perfect man. Now the
world Is asked to subscribe to de-
velopment Of that doctrine. In his
recent remarks on the Barnes libel
suit Mr.. Roosevelt said that il was
proof that the bosses see "in me per-
senalIy the one enemy that the type
of machine government for which
they stand has to fear" Just one,
and that one Mel We do not be-

Indiana Progressives man who has

host but one man whom the bosses
fear. The bosses are to be felicitated.

a Question of Inches.

From the Wall Street Journal
A curious reason is given why bus
mess does not assume normal pro-
portions in a branch of Industry
which is especially active during the
summer months, for the fall and win
ter trade. It appears that fashions
in two piece goods, including coat
and skirt for women. are changing
from the extreme long coat to some
thing shorter. The large centres of
manufacturing show differences OF
views among those who determine
style as to the length of the coat
Philadelphia, for instance, says 1t
should be thirty eight inches and
New York makers want 45. Agents
soliciting orders from the trade run
against this unsettled question of the
length of the cpat and the retailers
and distributors refuse to buy, fear
ing that they may find themselves
with the wrong style on hand. And
that is where the matter rests, while
the summer season for making the
goods is slipping away. Designers
are idle and the summer is already
half gone without the most funda-
mental question in styles being dis
posed OF.
