eontradicted, hat it long ago came K

Defnagogic malcontents have long

zeal arguments have been based upor
this hypothesis.
But, after all, there ia no truth in it.
Ii is without any foundation whatever.
How it bad its origin nobody can guess.
The editor OF ''Bradstreet's' has
produced statistics showing that the
average annual rate Of business fail,

Quite a large difference.

There are other business failures par

a change in business OF in firm name
does not necessarily indicate a failure.
Nor does actual disaster in business
always mean actual failure. Many Of
the men most %eminently successful to-
day have met reyerses. Many have
paid dearly for the experience that
makes them masters in their lines.
But it cannot be truthfuIly said that
one has failed SO long as he is able to

One Of the most successful business

Many men are satisfied to do things
in a small way. They are proof against
failure because they attempt little.
Others aim high, and, though they
fall sometimes in their course, if they
get up again and win their goal, they
are not to be counted as failures - they
are the eminent successes.
This is not a country Of failure, but

COMMERCE AMP GUNS, !,

ed for an expansion OF the commerc,
of the United States because of TIL

Whole pages OF tie metropolitan
dailics are filled with the wonderful
opportunities ahead of us M a nation.

ed fact.
We are pictured by the optimists a,
a nation at peace with the world and
with not a ripple 10 the SIX lies.
The possibilities are indeed great
provided we approach them with Some
degree Of wisdom.
We must not expect foreign govern.
ments to quietly submit to our absorp.
ton of their commerce.
They vii unqacstionably seek means
for regaining that which they have
lost and W. have gained, possibly even
to the extent OF involving Us in war in
nm cndeavor to cripple Us.
And there lies our menace.
We are not in a position to face such
a war. We have neither the guns nor
the ammunition for equipping q large
army such as would be required for re-
polling an invasion by Il tirst.class pow.
err,
Foreign governments can place mil
lions of troops in the field, but we can
arm and equip only a few hundred
thousands.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that
these governments would submit to the
loss of their commerce without strik-
ing back?
II five are to build up a merchant
marine we must have the means OF pro.
tecting it once it Is afioat.
We do not need a large standing army
but we do need guns and ammunition
for use in emergency. for without these
would be helpless.
Congress should supply arms and
equipment sufficient for at least a mil
lion men, for with a less number than
this we would have no assurance what
Of safety.
Our trade expansion might even prove
the boomerang that would eventually
plunge US into a long and costly war.

".H.f
Perhaps there is nothing else so ut.
terly foolish and Improbable as the
habit of worrying. 1t saps the nervous
energy and robs us Of the strength md
vitality necessary for the real work OF
life. 1t makes existence a burden and
wenriness, instead of a perpetual Joy
and blessing rs it should be. Poisc
and serenity are necessary to the com
plete development Of character and
true success. The mar who worries il
never s~elf-centered, never perfectly
balanced, never at his best; for every
moment of mental anxiety takes away
vitality and push, and robs him of man.
hood and power.
Worrying indicates u lack Of conf.
dence In our strength; it shows that
we are unbalanced. that We do not lay
hold Of the universal energy which
leaves no doubt, no uncertainty. The
man who does not worry, who believes
in himself, touches the wires of infinite
power. Never doubling. never hesita-
ting, he is constantly reinforced from
the Omnipotence that creates planets
and suns.
The habit of worrying is largely a
physical inirmity; it is an evidence Of
lack OF harmony in the mental system.
The well-poised soul, the self.center-
ed man, never wobbles or hesitates.
The infinite balance wheel preserves
him from all shocks, and all accident
or uncertainty.
Enough vital energy has been vast
ed in useless worry to run all the affair,
Of the world.

SHOWED GENUINE GRATITUDE
AND FRANKNESS.

Gratefulness In no. generally regard
ed his a prominent quality in the make
up Of a politician. The ordinary poll
tician Is usually looked upon as an ego
fist, who believes that whatever pre-
ferment he may have received was
solely due to his own pre.eminent abili-
ties, magnetic personality or great pop
ularity and ovcrlooks whatever efforts
were made by friends in his behalf. 1t
Is therefore decidedly refreshing to
note the following in regard to Judge
Paul B. johnson, Of Hattiesburg, as
an exception to the generally accepted
rule, published in the Clarion Ledger,
Of August 18th, 1914; Judge Johnson
was asked during one of his speeches
If he was not appointed by Noel and il
he was not his friend. Yes, Twas ap-
pointed by Governor Noel said Judge
Johnson, and ! am proud of it, He is
still my friend, gentlemen, and | am
proud Of It. II YOU want to vote
against Noel in this election for Judge
you will have to vote against me, gen.
tlemen, and | here and now challenge
you to do it. Frankness Is "a character
istic Of Judge johnson. He is for his
friends first, last and all the time, and
is v afraid to say So" The manly
stand taken by Judge johnson was
strongly endorsed by the people of his
district by an overwhelming majority
over two able and popular opponents

cult judgship, - Lexington Adver.
