Just before the Ad Club adjourned
James Mott, Jr. was asked to add a
word on the subject. of prosperity.

hund reds of men who are not owners
of sugar stocks and do not work on

clerks, stenographers, mechanics and

prosperity. What are you going to do

lation, if it does 90 80 far as to hold a
carrier responsible for naturalization
of contents Of all freight received by

would impose an unjust burden upon
the carrier and in many instances rem
der it impossible for the carrier to
receive freight for transportation in
its own protection, thus resulting in
delaying and retarding our transpOrta-
ton facilities rather than promoting
commerce. The compensation received
by the carrier for transporting freight
from one point to another point is
based on tn" superficial weight or meas

BAN FRANUISUO, june 2D.-Ine
Tigers increased their lead yesterday
while Oakland also went up few
points, the Seals and Mormons dropping
correspOndingly.
The surprise of the day was the shut
out given by the Oaks to the Seals here,
the score being: Oakland 8, San Fran
cisco 0. The Seals were totally help
less and the Oaks simply went through
them like water through a sieve.
At Los Angeles the Tigers won out
over the Inland Salts in a good game.
The score was: Vernon 5, Salt Lake 2.
The Beavers and Angels failed to
play yesterday at Portland, owing to
wet grounds, on which account also
there was no game the day before.

Tho doubtful Democratic victory in
the presidential fight carried with it a
victory as indecisive in the congres-
sional race leaving President Wilson
with n scant margin, if any Of legisla-
tive support. The Democrats lost one
vote in the senate, retaining their
majority while the Republicans picked
up two votes. In the total membership
of 435 in the house, the Democrats are
practically without Il working major
ity. With 2lS votes necessary for
power, they lost thirteen votes at the
present stand, reducing their vote Of
22S to 2l5 with five congressional seats
still undecided. The Republicans won
2ll seats in the house and four are
scattered.
In the senate forty nine votes are
necessary for II majority. OF the 06
seats in the present senate, the Demo
Gratis held 55; the Republicans, 40, and
one seat was vacant
Thirty.fVe senators were elected

Il Cant, +" Il WILL" the Two
Most Important Sentences

Did you ever reckon how many times a
day you say 81 can't?" Or hear it said?
Probably much shorter stunt would
be to count the number of times you hear,
or say. Il will"
These two sentences contain the whole
story of character. They are the metal from
which men shape success or failure.
We hammer and forge this metal daily
With Il can't we cast a weight which
fastens us down. With Il will' we shape a
marvellous spring which some day lands
us at the height of our ambition.
After a while we cannot move the
weight at all. But in the end, we cannot
resist the spring. It raises us in spite of
ourselves for Il will has become a habit.
Sometimes a man who has weighted
himself down by repeating Il can't" says
enviously, Nothing succeeds like success. f"
And this is true but he forgets that back
of the first success was an 81 will" and
then another, and then another.
Il Can't. II Will" These are the two
most important sentences in any mans vo-
cabulary.
Would we not better reverse the number
of times most of us use them every day?

Gasoline Business Is
Everybody's Business

In times of great prosperity, we're much
too apt to E1et business alone"-even bad
business.
Gasoline, however, has way all its own
of interfering with a good many kinds of
profits, big and little.
And nobody who uses gasoline, nobody
who pays to have a bag of -four or a new
Easter bonnet sent home by auto, nobody
who has watched his own gasoline bills
double in the last ten months is willing to
let the gasoline business alone now that
the government has started to investigate
it.
Dealers are quick to give off-hand ex-
cuses when-you pay your astonishingly big
bills You have undoubtedly been told that
the increased use of autos, motor boats,
motor trucks, farm tractors is responsible
for an enormous increase in the consump-
ton of gasoline.
And then there's the war, the usual
handy excuse for an advance in the price of
anything. The United States exported in
1914 over 100000 barrels of gasoline, and
in 1915 over $500, 1000, or nearly five and
six times as much as was exported five
years ago.
Those who believe in letting business
alone" will probably pay their bills without
complaining, but the persistent will find
out that the market value of the stocks of
the 80 oil corporations has increased re-
markedly in the last six MONTHS while
profits and dividends have in some in
stances increased as much as 100 per cent.
They will also learn that fifteen per cent
of the total production of crude oil in 1914,
about 100000 barrels, went into storage,
and that there are now 200,000000 barrels
of crude oil in storage. About twenty-one
per cent of this is gasoline
Obviously, the relation of supply to de
mand has not been such as to boost the
price of gasoline.
What-who-has raised the price?
The more interest the consumers show
IN this question, the quicker the govern
ment will find an answer for it.

Wilson's Way That of an
Executive, Not of a Monarch

Strange that Washington should be sur
pr1sed and shocked by the presidents ap-
peal to congress for vote on the proposal
to warn Americans off belligerent mer-
chant ships.
Ours is called representative form OF
government One man cannot correctly
represent the country's sentiment in every
particular, on every occasion.
Since his Inauguration, Woodrow VIII
son has defed precedent and custom, and
in many other ways manifested strong de-
sire to get into close touch with the repre-
sentatives of the people sent to Washing
on from every part of the nation.
He has seen two of his secretaries resign
because they thought his policies were not
endorsed by the people. He has had to
make personal appeal to factions in con-
gress in order to prevent open revolt
against measures of vital Importance to his
plans of handling foreign relations and
preserving genuine neutrality.
Relations with Germany are at stage
bordering on actual rupture-war or the
next thing to it. He is trying to put the
most vital of all questions up to the peo-
pies immediate representatives Hell do
ing Just exactly what the kings, kaisers,
cars and courtiers of Europe did not do
He honestly believes he is right in his atti-
tude toward Germany submarine warfare
but he recognizes that there is a power,
responsibility, in this country greater
than his own, and that is the will of the
people; and his only way to an understand
ing of that will is through appeal to the
representatives of the people
He is too proud to fight the will of the
people.
His appeal is novelty. 1t is Wilsonian.
1t is right. 1t is the act of an executive, not
of monarch, and expresses that glorious
distinction in way that the people will
like

THIRTY-THREE THE TOTAL
KILLED ON THE MISSOURI

Editor The Journal.
A few days ago The Journal con-
tanned an interview with a man who
vas aboard the battleship Missouri
when the explosion occurred April Is,
1915, in which he said that over forty
men and number Of officers killed.
Our firm has a complete record of
every funeral we have directed dur
ng the past twenty-five years, and
these records show that the explosion
caused the death of twenty-eight men
and five officers. One mans body
was never recovered, but the re-
mainder of the bodies were prepar-
ed for burial and shipped to their
homes, with the exception of one
whose remains were ordered buried in
the national cemetery at Warrington.
The names of all the dead men and
the points to which the bodies were
shipped are among our records.
