ANOTHER CRIMP IN ROOSE-

IN. Y. Daily Worldly

GATES IS 4 means of making the Roos-

The defeat Of the United Republi-

Chicago convention is hard blow

Massachusetts primary. California
was Roosevelt state in 1912, and he
had eleven of the thirteen Presidential
electors. The Taft electors were jug

When Roosevelt stock in an original

CHEERFULNESS HELPS A MAN
TO SUCCEED.
From Progressive Farmcr)

"'The men whom I have seen sue
coed best in life" says Charles Kings
ley, have always been cheerful, and
hopeful men who were about their
business with smiles on their faces
and took the changes and chances of
this mortal life like men, facing the
rough and smoothe alike as it came"
And believe kinglcy's observation
accords with the general rule. The
worrying, anxious, fussy, or sour fell
low really handicaps himself immeas-
uIably in the struggle for success.
Cheerfuness is TO Il boy what axle
grease is TO II wagon; it makes thing
smooth and enables you to get furth-
or and accomplish more with the same
expenditure of effort and power.
It's the boy who can endure hard
ness rs good soldier" in st. Paul's
phrase, without whine or complaint,
who wins. and there's another good
phrase Of st. Paul's that is worth
recalling in this connection. "For-
gccting those things which are be-
hind" he says, this one thing do"
In other words he says: 81 am not
worrying about hundred other
things that might he done. But here
is Il thing that is worth while, and
| buckle down to it,"
| have known boys to worry about
their mistakes until their worry be-
came ten times bigger mistake than
anything else they had ever done. You
ought to worry just enough over Il
mistake to make sure you don't make
it again. and then forget it. And it's
Il good rule of Everett Edward IIalc's:
"Ncvcr bear more than one kin of
trouble at ii time. Some people bear
three kinds-all they have had, all
they have now, and all they expect
to have"

The white reflection of the sloop's

Sleeps trembling on the tide,
In scarlet trim her crew lean DER the

Longing on either side.
Pale blue and strcalicd with pearl the

And glitter in the heat;
The distance gathers purple bloom
where sky
And glimmcring coast line meet
From the Cove's curving rim of sandy
gray
The ebbing tide has drained,
Where, mournful, in the dusk of yes

Half lost in the hot mirage that sails

Lie dreaming, still and white;
No wave breaks, no wind breaths, the

My Dear Editor,

some are satisfied with conditions
as they now exist.
am now, first and always, for good
roads. Giles reeds them; but is it
necessary for rs to BOND the county
for 100000 to have good roads?
Ma, | say, The price is too great.
1t would be unfair and unjust to leave
posterity such Il debt. The people of
Giles would know ust what it means
TO assume and agree to pay Il mort
gage of Sl50,000, to say nothing of
the interest on such vast sum, and
the obligations which the county has
already pledged itself to pay. The
poole of Giles should be unwilling
to he Il party to any act that en-
hanccs their own obligations and tends
to bankrupt the county.
Who are the people who are so
willing to place II Sl50,000 mortgage
on your property and sit back while
you are wondering where the money
ments as they fall due? Are those
self-stylcd public intrest men willing
to assume their pro rata of this vast
mortgage?
DO you realize the increased !a:a-
ton this means to YOU? If you feel
that you are not paying your tenth,
repent and think, for $l50,O00 is lot
