1t has been said that most OF the
business failures come to men who do
not tell their business to their wives.
This is, in a large measure true. for
in business as well as in public life It
is the wife who can best be trusted
to take an honest and unseltish inter-
est in the affairs of her husband
No man, either in business or in poll
ties, would confide in his wife be-
lief that only by graft or dishonesty
could he succeed. And no man who
had plans OF that sort would dare to
talk them over with his wife.
As a consequence, the men who take
their wives into confidence lead clean
public and private lives, and that is
the kind OF lives that bring success
real success-in business or in Office.
The governor of Colorado has set q
| fine example for other public officials.
When men honestly and openly ac-
knowledge that the idea that they are
| self-made is nonsense, and are willing
to cousult their wives in public as we'll
as in private, the states and the nation
will he better governed.
This will take real courage, for no
man likes to admit that any agency
on earth outside himself had anything
to do with the forming of success
full career.
But real courage as well as real
honesty is necessary in politics as
well as in business.
1t is not an experiment that this
governor is trying. If his ability mat
, ches his judgment he is sure to sue,
