Value of Industry.

"A somewhat varied experience Of
men," says Professor Huxley, "has
led me, the longer I live, to set the
less value upon mere cleverness, and
to attach more and more Importance
to industry and to physical endurance.
Indeed, am much disposed to think
endurance Is the most valued quality
Of all; for industry, as the desire to
work hard, does not come to much
If feeble frame is unable to respond
to the desire. Everybody who has
had to make his way in the world
must know that, while the occasion
for intellectual effort of high order
is exceedingly rare, 1t constantly hap
pens that mans future turns upon
his being able to stand a sudden and
heavy strain upon his powers Of en-
durance. To lawyer, physician, a
merchant, it may be everything to be
able to work for the space of 16 hours
day for as long as is needful. More
over, the patience, tenacity and good
humor which are among the most i'm
portant qualifications for dealing with
men are incompatible with an irrita-
BILE brain, weak stomach, or q de-
fective circulation.

POWER OF The PRESS
Eugene Pulliam of Indiana Paper Tells
of Fearless Policies.

Eugene Pulliam. managing editor
of the Franklin, Ind, Evening Star,
took an opportunity to throw numer-
Gus bouquets to the newspaper fra
ternity in a Sunday lecture before the
congregation of the Euclid Avenue
Methodist church. Among the nu-
merous other flowers distributed Pull
liam called attention to the ability of
the press to use its power to mould
public sentiment and by advocating GER
tain social, civic and political policies.
by fearlessly condemning evil wher
ever it is found, the press can exert
an irresistible power:
ITO. cause bad business to give away
to good business.
ITO force crooked politics to sur
render to honest politics.
ITO compel bad government to
yield to good government
ITO overcome bad citizenship by
the organization of good citizenship.
ITO awipe out civic wrongs by civic
righteousness.
ITO bring about the dissolution of
all racial and sectarian prejudices by
proclaiming the doctrine of brotherly
love.
ITO crush selfish autocracy by the
establishment of Christian democracy.
ITO destroy opposition to Christian
civilization by uniting all churches of
all creeds and all nations in a mighty
catholic effort to win the world for
Christ"
