1.-THE OTHER FELLOW"

Ninety-nine and nine-tenths per cent
Of failures, men of the never-get-there
class, Intentionally or unintentionally,
forget themselves and think about
the other fellow"
If the other fellow is promoted,
they are jealous, feel that their en-
ployer has Disseminated unfairly, and
that favoritism or luck is responsible
for the good things which he has re-
ceived.
If they make a mistake, instead of
attempting to learn better, they hunt
up the mistakes "the other fellow" has
made and excuse themselves because
he has blundered.
Many a young man, who has not
been promoted or received raise Of
salary, instead of analyzing himself,
goes to his employer and says, You
raised Smiths salary, think mine
ought to be raised too."
The employer naturally asks him
what Smith has got to do with it.
Smith had his salary raised because
he deserved it. Yet proportion Of
men, who ought to know better, use
this feeble and unbusinesslike argu.
ment, forgettings that it is up to-
them, not "up to" "the other fellow"
that it is all important to them what
they do to themselves, and of less
consequences what happens to ''the
other fellow"
Don't envy "the other fellow" be
friendly with him and exchange ex-
periences with him; congratulate him
when he is promoted; learn of him, If
he is a good teacher. His promotion.
even if you do not receive like one,
is an indication that the firm for
which you work is prepared to do by
you as it has done by him as soon
as you are worthy. The advancement
of 'the other fellow" should incite you
to greater effort. Instead of stirring
up jealousy, let it make you say:
Good for the other fellow" if he has
been promoted. Your turn will come
next, if you deliver the goods"
Don't harbor the delusion that your
employer does not want to pay you
more money. Unless he is an excep-
ton, he regards you as a part of his
business plant 1t is policy for him
to use you to his advantage. and he
cannot do this unless it is to your
advantage also. He would rather pay
you $40 week than $40, if you are
worth 1t and the business will war
rant. If you show that you are able
and ready to bring him service the
equivalent of, or of greater value than,
that extra SO, he is more than willing
to gite it to you,
No business man worthy the name
wants to have inefficient employees
about him. They injure his business
and injure him. The modern business
man requires efficiency, and in most
cases he is ready to pay the price
necessary to obtain it.
Ninety-nine per cent of young men
who are down, are down because they
downed themselves and did not real
ize that, however subordinate their DO
sitions might be, they, above all the
world, were masters of their des.

THE DOVER CONVENTION

WITH their ever present "wish thai
w is father to the thought our
Democratic friends would like to make
it out that there is q ''split' in the Re
publican party in this State as a result
of the convention held at Dover last
Tuesday.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. There was free expression of
opinions and the exhibition of the usua
rivalry that marts every live politica
convention; and moreover. by voice and
and by vote the wishes of the people
touching the candidacy for United States
senator, were plainly disclosed, but
there was no bitter division of the
party into two hostile camps each sell
fshly bent on having its own way re-
gardless of consequences, much as our
friends, the enemy, would like to have
it so.
The best judgment of those who have
thoughtfully considered the senatorial
situation is that a younger and more
vigorous man should.b named for the
Republican senator.
The very fact that our State is small
with but one representative where
Pennsylvania has Sc and New York 43,
ETC., makes it highly advisable that our
senators should be strong, aggressive
men in the full possession of their
physical and mental vigor.
Col. Henry A. Dupont was brave
and efficient officers in the Union Army,
thruout the Civil War, and was honored
with Congressional medal for "most
distinguished services in acton. Be-
sides other political honors, at the end
of his present term he will have ably
served his State in the United States
Senate for ten years. He will be 78
years old in July, and may very credit
ably surrender his senatorial toga into
younger hands. and retire to enjoy in
private life all his well-won honors,
military and civil.

The rapidity with which the boom
for Coleman du Pont for president is
spreading is winning favor with Ia
borers as well as businessmen, miners
as well as operators. in fact, all those
who know Coleman du Pont personal
ly, OF are at all acquainted with his
ability and his business methods are
lending aid to the movement which
promises to reveal him as the dark
horse" at the Chicago convention, and
secure for him the Republican nomina-
tion for president.
, According to an article in the Cen
tral City (Ky.) Argus, Democrats as
well as Republicans are lending aid
to the du Pont movement. It says:
There is sound reason for the
du Pont boom in Kentucky, where he
began at the bottom as mule driver
in a coal mine, for which he received
the munificent sum of fifteen dollars
per month. He fought it out with
his mine mule, developing those traits
of determination and patience which
a mine mule driver requires, and made
good. Step by step he advanced,
through every phase of mine employ
ment, finally becoming superintendent.
Then, outgrowing this position he
went elsewhere. The remainder Of his
career is history. Sheer ability and
an understanding of men has placed
him among the captains of industry
of the United States, leader in
finance, development and charity.
The latter trait has always been out
standing in character"

The Best Laxative.

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a
full glass of water half an hour before
breakfast and eat an abundance of
fruit and vegetables, also establish a
regular habit and be sure that your
bowels move once each day. When a
medicine isneeded take Chamberlain,s

Questions for Hughes.

pared and submitted to Charles
E. Hughes a group of questions
for his consideration and for his
answer. The letter sent Mr..
Hughes by these distinguished
citizens contains the following
extracts: "Mr. Wilson's beliefs
have been expressed in law and
in declared policies. He has
made an open record by which
he may be judged. Wise choice
is not possible unless you your
self made equally specific stata-
ment of purposes and convic-
tons.
Without intent to offend we
feel justified in charging that in
no single public utterance have
you filed a bona fide bill of par
ticulars, nor have you offered a
single constructive suggestion.
"Generalities are without
value. Blanket criticism is worth
less. What we desire to know,
what it is fair that the elector-
ate should know, are the exact
details of your disagreement
with President Wilson. What
has he done that you would not
have done, and what has he fail
ed to do that you would have
done or propose to do? Honesty
and patriotism demands that you
put yourself on record in such
manner as to permit people to
judge YOU as they are now able
to judge President Wilson. For
example:
First-Would you have filled
instant protest against the in
vasion of Belgium and backed up
that protest with the United
States navy?
Second-It is arrant nonsense
to talk about action that would
have prevented the Lusitania
tragedy. The vague advertise
ment did not appear until short
lyi before the hour of sailing.
The occurrence was one Of those
things that civilization had made
the world regard as incredible.
The only honest question is this:
Would you have made the dis
aster the subject of diplomatic
negotiations or would you have
broken relation with Germany at
once?
Third-Would you have urged
upon Congress an embargo upon
the shipment of munitions to the
Allies?
Fourth-Would you urge uni
versal compulsory military ser:
vice?
Fifth-You are frank in stating
that Huerta's morals were of no
concern to America. Does this

Would you repeal the Federal
Trade Commission Act, the Fed
eral Reserve System and the Ru-
raj Credit and good road bill?
Are you for or against the tariff
commission bill which the United
States Chamber of Commerce,
representing the business men
of the nation, has endorsed?
Would you ignore the findings
of this tariff commission and re-
peal the act creating it?
