NICE TALK FROM ANDREW CAR
NEGIE

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie mas never
forgotten that he came up from the
ranks Having been reared poor and
tasted tire dregs of poverty he knows
how to sympathize with the unfortu-
nate
IT. a recent issue of the Century
Magazine Mr.. Carnegie says:
Poor boys reared directly by their
parents possess advantages over
those watched and taught by hired
strangers. They appear upon the
worlds stage trained as athletes for a
contest, with sinews braced, indomi-
table will, resolved to do or die. Such
boys always have marched and al
ways viii march straight to the front
and lead the world. They are the
epoch makers. Let one select the
three or four most celebrated names
of men supremely great in every field
of human triumph and note how
small is the contribution of hered;-
tary rank and wealth to the list of
immortals who have lifted and adj
vanced the race. 1t will, I think, be
seen that the possession of rank and
wealth is almost fatal to greatness
and goodness, and that the greatest
and the best of our race have neces-
sarily been nurtured in the bracing
school of poverty Unless
the individual giver knows the person
or family in misfortune, their habits,
conduct, and the cause of distress,
and rlaeizes that help given will act
ually aid them to help themselves,
he cannot act properly And if he
does act to save his own feelings,
which he is very apt to do. he will
increase rather than diminish the dis
tress, which appeals for his bounty.
The sons of millionaire are
TO be regarded with approval who
cannot be induced to take absorbing
and incessant interest in theirs
fathers business. The day is over
when even the richest can play at
business, as rich mems sons almost
invariably do. The trans
mission of wealth and rank without
regard to merit or qualification, may
sometimes pass from one peer to an
other without serious injury, seldom
involving the welfare or means of
others; but the management of bust
ness never. Business methods
have changed, good will counts for
less and less. Success in business is
held by the same tensure as success
in public life, at the cost of perpetual
challenges to all comers.* He
reditary wealth and position tend to
rob fathers and mothers of their chill
dren and vice versa. Moth
ing is more fatal to the prospects of
a public man in America than wealth
or the display of wealth.

Hon. l.. S. Light of Marion county

WILSON
Declared To Be The Logical
Democratic Candidate TOR
Presidency in 1916

Washington, Sept. 2 "A pub
lished statement by Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall declaring that Pres.
Wilson should run for reelection
in 1916 and would be the unan-
imous choice of his party, aroused
wide interest in congressional cir
cles today, but White House Off
clals refused to make any COM
ment. In Democrat circles, how
ever, tits taken for granted that
the president will be a candidate,
although it was stated that SO far
as is known he has not given the
question any personal attention.
The denomination of several
senators and representatives who
have supported the president on
the Panama tolls, the Mexican
and othsr questions encouraged
Democratic campaign managers.
In this connection particular at
tention was paid today to the NOM
ination of Representative Hard
wick for senator from Georgia.
The praise of the presidents Mex
lean policy in several of the Dem
ocrat state platforms recently, al
so has been received with pleas
ure by the president s adherents.
The vice. presidents statement
is a discussion Of the Democratic
outlook.
The vice-president's statement
was made in the course of an
authorized interview on the po-
litical situation, which concluded
thus:
THE Democratic party will
have but one candidate for presi-
dent in 1916 and his name happens
to be Woodrow Wilson. He will
have the entire and unqualified
and united support Of his party.
Fair minded Democrats will rec
ognize that he is entitled to a
chance for a second term to prove
the utility of his policies.
Lightning rods already up
may as we'll be taken down and
preserved for future use; Dem
ocratic lightning will not strike
a rod in 1916"

MERCHANTS AND NEWSPAPERS,

Patronize your home newspap-
err!
Although there are many rea-
sons why every one should do all
in his power to help the home
paper, it is self evident that the
men who can and should do the
most are the merchants. Their
success means the success of the
newspaper, and none will deny
that the success of the newspap-
er is mainly dependent on the
merchants. The newspaper is
vitality interested in the success
of those who have things to offer
to the community.
Women and many men nova
days read the advertising columns
almost as closely as they do the
news columns.
If the merchant has anything
special to offer he knows that the
very best way to let the people
know that he has tits through the
columns of the local newspaper.
Merchants should take deep in
terest in their home newspaper.
1t is an institution of the towu.
1t should be supported. Itshould
be Encouraged. It is the greatest
town boomer there is. The news
paper is necessary to the merch-
ant and the merchant to the news
paper. If the home newspaper
occasionally knocks it is to remedy
something that is wrong, or at
least something that it honestly
thinksis wrong. The home news
papers hands should be held up.
1t needs the sincere moral sup
port of everybody in the COM
munity, but none more than the
merchants.
Merchants of town, who sup
ply it's daily needs, invariably are
public spiritee citizens. They
are the men who make up the
boards of trade. They are always
in the forefront of any agitation
looking to the betterment of the
municipality. Their cause always
is identical with that of the news
paper. There should be a spirit
Of cooperation between the
merchants and the home news
paper.
Merchants, boost for the home
newspaper

if some of the residents Of the

would place a light on their front

No one could have foreseen

in the light of events, may claim
the possession of extraordinary
PRESENCE, but circumstances as
they are do justify an expression
of thankfulness chat President
Wilson was able to execute his
Mexican policy without involving
the United States in an adven-
ture whose dead weight by
this time would have appealed
his countrymen. So long as the
European war lasts, it now ap-
pears, it would be extreme folly
for the United States to under
take to exercise more than its
