The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1915-08-27

Failure Is by no means the unmiXed
evil that most people suppose. If ac-
cepted phIlosophicaly it may prove to
be the fore-runners of an astonishing
success.
When man fails In business or In
professional calling the fault usual
ly rests with himself.
Sometimes, of course, he fails be-
cause of circumstances quite beyond
his control.
Sudden social changes may wipe
out the demand for the goods he is
making. The incubus OF 4 financial
panic may crush him out Of business
existence. Or he may be forced to
the wall by the unfair tactics of
powerful competitors
But in probably nine cases out of
ten the man who falls cannot justly
attribute his failure TO influences
such as these.
II he Is candid with himself, and
If he carefully analyses the reasons
for his having failed, the chances are
he will be forced to one Of two con-
illusions.
Either he has failed because he is
not naturally adapted to the work he
has been trying to do
Or, If he has a natural aptitude for
1t he has failed because he has not
been applying himself with intelli-
gently directed energy.
Many men as is we'll known, fail
because they deliberately neglect
their business.
In such cases, whether or not the
neglect takes the form Of reckless
dissipation, it usually happens that
the work neglected was In the first
place badly chosen.
Work that really appeals to a man
is not likely to be neglected by him.
Yet no matter how much his work
interests him, q man may have de-
fects of temperament or training that
debar him from success.
He may be tactless and domineer-
ing, thereby alternating customers and
employees.
He may waste too much energy In
attending to petty details, to which
subordlnates could and should attend.
He may meyer have cultivated the
precious gift of imagination, as nee
ssssry to success in the business
world as In the worlds of art, litera-
ture and music.
Or he may suffer from one or more
OF many other personal shortcomings
that enter into account for his fail
ure.
The point is that when he fails he
ought not give way to despair. He
ought, instead manfully to acknowl-
edge that in all likelihood the failure
is entirely due to hisownfault. And
he ought then to study himself as
dlspassionately as he can.
If this analysis reveals an obvious
incompatibility between his natural
aptitudes and the work at which he
has failed, his next step should be to
try to find a moro congenial vocation.
If, however, he discovers serious
defects in his character or his train
ing, he should start at once to try to
remedy these.
To yield to gloom or to try to throw
the blame on others is not the way
to wrest success from defeat.
Self study is the way, and the only
sure way.
Self study, in truth, is imperative
on every man who would achieve q
real success In life. 1t Is doubly I'M
perative on the man who has failed.

INSTRUCTED TO
PROCEED AT ONCE
Audit of Accounts Will
Cover Three-Year
Period

It win require about i've months
for the city to complete an apprai.
sal Of the telephone company's prop
erty In tho local district, and make
an audit OF the company's books
covering a period of at least three
years. In q conference. wednesday
afternoon. participated In by the Of
ficials of the Michigan State Tele'

missioner Cassius L. Glasgow and
Engineer c. b. Hall, OF the state
railroad board, a plan Of appraisine

ly approved. and City Expert f. T.
Burch was instructed to proceed al
once with the work. The general
plan Of procedure was decided upon
only after much discussion, with
Commissioner Glasgow acting as ar.
bitrator.
The company's property will be
appraised on a basis of Its valuation
July 1, 1915, Notwithstanding the
fact that the company's inventory
shows its value as of July /, 1914.
the company having first filed its
application for permission to install
modified system Of metered ser
vice In that year. Depreciation per
centage covering the period between
the company's inventory and the
city's appraisal will figure largely
In the price Mr.. Burch will place
on the company's property, although
this reduction will be Offset TO a
certain degree by increased property
valuations.
In answer to a remark by Arthur
Won Schlegell. general manager OF
the company, that his understand
ing Of the city's work was that 1t
would be check OF the company's
appraisal. accompanied by a state
ment OF expenses and earnings. Mr..
Burch replied:
mot at all. refuse 10 do the
work under that condition"
Then the city expert explained
that he intended to place his own
values on the company's property.
He accepted the suggestion OF the
railroad commissions expert that
quantity values be used as much as
possible to shortcut the work.
Mr. Burch stated that his apprai-
sal will cost the city about $4,000.
Mr.. Won Schlegell said that the
company's appraisal cost in the
neighborhood Of $4,000. and that II
Mr.. Burch carried out his plan to
re-appraise the property. It would
mean extra expense and loss OF val.

pany.
There was another difference be
tween the city and the telephone

Rod OF time the audit Of the com
pany's books should cover. The
data supplied by the company Gov

cover the same period.
mot at all. We want the audit
to cover three years at least" again
interposed the city expert.
As understand It, the Detroit
Trust Co. VIII make the audit" SAID
Mr.. Won Schlegell.
Yes. but under my direction
said Mr.. Hall. II saw to that at the
very start"
Commissioner Glasgow supported
Mr.. Burch's contention that the aud
II should cover o period Of at least
three years. Corporation Counse
Dingeman and Controller Engel. al
well as Mr.. Burch. considered 1t Of
greatest importance that the city'i
audit cover q longer period thar
covered in the company's statement
Mr.. Burch's task will be to deter
mine three things: The value Of
the telephone company's property
the cost OF operation and the rev
enue. His report will be used Il
combat the application of the com
pany for metered service which. 4
allowed. will mean increased rev
enue for the company. the burder
falling upon the subscribers.
At the suggestion Of Commission
er Glasgow the appraisal work will
proceed until there Is a disagree
ment between the city and the com
pany experts. Then the commits
sion will seek to adjust the differ
ence. The commission will hold III
next meeting in Detroit in about 81
days.

Would End War
By Resolution
OfU. S. CONGRESS

To end the European war by joint
resolution Of the United States con
gress, is the plan OF Roderick ii.
Smith. delegate from Buffalo to the
Worlds Court congress, In Cleve
land. Mr.. Smith, who was in De-
troit, Wednesday. explained the de-
tails OF his plan. which he says has
the Endorsement Of many Of the
worlds foremost thinkers and peace
advocates.
Every nation" said Mr.. Smith,
rs most jealous in defence OF its
rights. England. France. Germany,
Russia-all the warning powers are
nshting for their rights! But no
one az yet has attempted to define
Just what constitute the rights OF
nations.
Il have prepared a resolution TO
be submitted to the mousse and sen
ate OF the United States which does
just this. Once let It be passed
and within a short time war will be
abolished.
With the rights Of nations once
defined the definition 10 to be sub
mitted for ratification by other
powers. The greater number will
agree upon what constitute their
rights, and. all being In agreement,
there will be nothing to tight about.
The next step will be the formation
OF a world court, supported by an
international army and navy, which
shall be the supreme authority and
which shall outlaw any nation
which refuses to keep the peace"
Before the war, Mr.. Smith de-
clares, he submitted the details OF
this plan to more than 40 nations,
all of which. with the exceptions of
Germany and Austria, approved 1t.
Even they he said, would now
be almost forced to accept. for the
plan is so rational that the peace.
loving common people would rise in
rebellion II their governments re-
jected IT,"
Mr.. Smith has laid his plan be
fore President Wilson, and hopes to
find support for 1t In the next con-
gress.
The idea OF a worlds court, !
admit, is not new" he said, "but ]
am the first to have prepared the
practical legislative means for
bringing II about"
