From the way in which Messrs.

whole lot of new money at the Ma

"Fear Men,"

Bradstreet's is authority for
the statement that only three
per cent of men who go into bus
mess for themselves are success
full. 1t is safe to assume that
the proportion of successes in
other fields, art, music, author
ship, politics, social work, etc., is
as small. The failures are made
so through FEAR. Fear of con-
sequences, fear of the future,
fear that we cannot finish sue
cessfully what we begin, fear of
our opponent, unnecessary, illog-
ical fear stands between us and
success, and with an apparently
impossible arm bars our prog
ress. Those whom fear rules we
call fear men, because they
are not really men at all, but men
requiring a classification IAN
apology. There has hardly been
a time in American history when
men were called on more to over
come their fear than at the pres
ent time. Moral strength is
needed in politics more than ever
before, and molal strength is as
far superior to physical strength
as the spiritual is above the nat
ural. 1t is told of Wellington
that, before the battle of Water
loo, his knees shook so that he
laughed and called attention to
them, saying; IF they knew
where | was going to carry them,
they would shake much worse. 1"
That was moral courage over
coming physical fear, and this is
the courage that men must have
nowif America is to go onward
and upward. We must have
moral courage to overcome the
selfish persuasion of the politician
who seeks his own advancement
regardless of the public good.
Courage is needed to overcome
the fear that organizations and
societies and leagues cause by
their tactics of force and threats
in their efforts to enforce NOR
ality by law. Moral courage is
necessary to make men follow the
dictates of their own conscience,
regardless of the arguments of
politicians, ministers, leagues or

Road Problem and Farmers.

Each year the Importance of
good roads becomes more mani
fest to every intelligent farmer,
says the Home and Farm. The
expense of the crop is not finished
with the harvest. You have to
transport the cotton, or your
meat, or your wheat, or whatever
you have raised to the market.
You must arrange to reach the
nearest railroad station at the
least possible cost.
That means that, in order to
reduce this transportion charge,
you must have better roads and
you must have the best carrying
vehicle.
What that vehicle is will de-
pend upon a great many consider
ations-your distance from the
railroad station, the character of
your farming.
But whether you haul your
goods to market in a wagon
drawn by horses or whether you
carry it to market in an autmo.
bile truck your roads must be in
good order if you are going to dc
this work at the least possible
cost.
You do not waste money in i'm
proving your roads, but where
money is wasted is in neglecting
your roads, paying your taxes OF
employing your labor unwisely
ineffectively. In many cases
roads are no sooner finished thar
, their defects become apparent.
There are two road express
