Herbert Kaufman Says:

The surest path to success is the road to the
right. the wrong way is ultimately the long way.
Inscriptions men have in rare instances managed
to push to the front and maintain their position,
but they did in spite of their bad faith, not be-
cause of it.
Occasionally there arise individuals so gifted
with ability that their surplus strength is sufi-
cient to offset the handicap of their weakness But
at heart no conqueror was ever sneak thief.
An ebony beam will support the weight of
it's load even if cracked where pine joist would
snap under an equal degree of strain.
When you elect to model your career on the
pattern of prominent man don't initiate his
flaws but search into his life for the stanch force
full qualities which enabled him to survive the
drawback of his better self.
He must be indeed giant who can battle to
victory with the dstrust and prejudice of his fell
lows arrayed against him.
The world is hostile to and resentful of law
less cunning. We do not applaud subterfuge
and sickness" However ably crooked few
have fought to fortune, their ultimate rewards
would have been larger aud their trials would have
been lighter if the native superiortes which alone
produced eminence had not been reduced by dis
honest practices.
Our standards are still high and clean, but in
rare cases we weigh the good with the bad i'm ex-
traordnary folks and condone the alterations of
leaders and genuses only because of the enor-
nous balance that stands to their credit after the
sum total of their achievements is estimated.
Play fair: the odds only temporary with
the cheat. Granted that you may get by violating
the rules of the game, you'll get farther observing
them
Self-defense demands the unmasking of dis
grace of snides and tricksters. the majority of
men gladly endure privation and deprivation rath-
er than resort to underhanded methods
And so long as your neighbor disdains to save
himself even from failure by defying the prin-
ciples which he holds dearer than his personal
welfare he will justly endeavor to punish your de-
graduation of ethics for whose observance he has
made his own sacrifices.
Follow the straight line-it's mechanically
and morally the shortest distance to every goal.
Don't strike below the belt. Most fights are not
won by knockouts-they are lost through fouls,
The impulse to land blow where your opponent
isn't expected to guard himself is disastrous
temptation.

Lar ge Stage
Installed at
Auditorium

Wright Walker, manager of the
Auditorium and skating rink, has
installed large stage to accommo-
date travelling show companies.
The stage, while not yet com
pleted, is well arranged and pre-
sents striking appearance in the
building The scenery is elegant
and was all painted by MI. Walker.
He also did the carpenter work. A
place at the froht of the stage has
been constructed for foot1igbts,
which will soon be installed, and
an orchestra pit will also be pro-
vided, making the stage arrange
rhents strictly up to date.
AS soon as the stage and acces-
cries are completed, it is the inten
tion Of Mr.. Walker to present a
show or probably series Of shows.
The house will also be open to
good travelling companies, and it is
very probable that Benson will
soon become a regular stopping
point for travelling shows and give
the people an opportunity ot see-
ing a better class Of entertainments
than in the past.

Auto Tourist
Logs Sunset
Short Line

The following article, from the
El Paso Herald; records the trip
made by tourist over the Sunset
Short Line, the route following the
Southern Pacific railroad between
Lordsburg, N. M, and Vail station,
about thirty miles west Of Benson.
The log was made from west to
east. The article says:
W. ]. Rand thinks that the new
"Southerh Pacific Cutoff" between
Lordsburg and Tucson is going to
take mitch automobile travel away
from the Bofderland route, because
it is so much shorter. While the
Borderland is scenical1y the finest,
the new rotte saves many miles, the
distance from Ell Paso to Tucson
over the new line being But 1882
miles as against 271.9 miles by
way of the Borderland.
Mr., Rand drove over the Bor-
,derland from El Paso to California,
but on his return drove frofn Tue
son straight through along the
Southern Pacific to Lordsburg over
the "cut6f. He says with the
completion Of some grading work
now in progress the road will be
fairly good even in wet weather.
Leaving Tucson at s O'clock in
the morning." he said, eve easily
made Lordsbdrg by 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon, and We stopped en-
route at Wilcox, Bowie, San Simon
and Stems. We made Den1ing by
7 O'Clock ii the evening, stopped
over for an hour and a half, and,
'eaviug there at S:3o p. H., were
in FL Paso b3 go in the morning.
This is an average of better than
10 $ miles an hour. This route is
better and shorter by 92.3 miles
than the route around by way of
Douglas"
Mr.. Rand kept a log of the
"cutoff,'' which he has Kindly fur
nished the Herald for publication
in the automobile section. Between
Ell Paso and Lordsburg lie followed
the Borderland, also between Vail
and Tucson, and the Borderland
log maps cover these portions OF
the road. Between Lordsburg and
Vail Mr.. Rand's log covers the sit,
uation. 1t appears below, the first
