YOUR OWN EIGHT HOURS

You work faithfully in the hours sold to an employer
What do you do with the hours belonging to you?
Eight hours day or are sold to an employer
And be it said to the glory of humanity not many men
shirk slight their tasks. They do the best they
for the other
Every man has approximately eight hours day in
is the waste!
Most careers are made marred in the hours after
supper Among the burners of oil at the shrine of
knowledge you will find about every man whose life has
been rich in the joy Of achievement.
Probably success has been the theme for more dis
courses written and spoken than any other subject
less it be failure. To judge by the hulabaoO one would
think success and failure fearfuy mysterious things
The simple matter of fact is that they are plain and pal
pable effects Of plain and palpabe causes
We have seen lists of reasons for failure running all
the way from to seventy times seven Most of the
lists ignore entirely the one reason that stands out like
mountain above ant hills
People fail because they are not in earnest about
wanting to succeed determined spirit overcomeS all
the difficulties that may confront it.
Among hundred or a thousand young men there are
few who study the game. They decide upon line of
action They hew to the line They miss lot of good
times, but joy is evenly distributed throughout their
lives With mind set upon success they study for it, plan
for it. work for it. fight for it. live for it, and get it.
They get lt-nOt SOmetimeS-but nearly always.
Earnestness means success, indifference failure
EaneSness studies the game and wins Indifference ags

The Capital Journal gives all the Eastern ball scores
Of the day in its regular $3.50 edition. The Portland
papers sold here do not give these because they are
printed before and really late morning editions
printed to catch street sales in the city and suckers in the
outside towns. The ball scores come to the Capital
Journal over its leased wre and when it goes to press at
1890 p. M it is $50 in New York and midnight in the
European zone Thus it covers the entire news field
completely and this fact explains why the Capital
Journal contains much later than the fake after

This Is no time for impuIsive attempts
to make the United States a party to the
war; says Representative Henry Allen
Cooper of Wisconsin, ranking republican
member of the House foreign affairs COM
mlttee. In telegraphed statement to The
Star Mr.. Cooper is one Of the two
senior members of the House in point of
service. In answer to a request for his
views, Representative Cooper said
I have not sufficient knowledge of the
facts concerning the sinking of the Lusi-
tania to discuss its international aspects.
Complete information should precede dis
cussion and final judgment AS vet we
know only that the vessel, flying the flag
OF a bellieerent. was carrying munitions
OF war to that belligerent: that among
its passengers were American citizens. and
that it was sunk within the limits of the
zone of war
The loss of the lives of American citi
zens under such circumstances was an
appalling tragedy. and fills us with pity,
but this Is no time for threats of
vengeance. What is needed is that the
facts be promptly ascertained and given
calm, dfspasslonate consideration This
is no time for impulsive attempts to make
the United States a party to the war"
