Every Day
ny Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Every dayl
In those two words lie the secret Of all
attainment
It's not what we do once. with all our
hearts. and with every splendid ounce of
strength, that counts. so much as the
things we've been doing every day,
whether we felt like it or not.
Every day. Therein is mastery. The
marvellous velvet, utter-exquisitc beauty
of such piano playing as Paderewsks. or
such violin performance as Maud Powell's
lit looks spontaneous, but it is.the result
Of many hateful days aborious routine.
Every day! That is the road to per-
lection The speaker who can hold and
charm an audience, the debater quick and
ready and not to be confused, the baseball
player the woman always socially at ease
everybody in fact, that can do any
thing we'll owes that poise and finish to
the slow efforts Of every day.
No matter how gifted an actor, how
naturally endowed, he cannot be mas
ter without infinite practice.
Young people do not realize the ire
mendous cumulative power that lies in
time Take ten years Say YOU are
twenty. BY the time you are thirty what
enormous efficiency you might build up
if you would only use every day a GER
tain amount of time.
Almost everybody wastes enough
hours in ten years 70 get a doctors
degree in any university
In ten years YOU might be speaking
and reading huently Spanish or French
or Japanese you might be an authority
upon geology. botany. chemistry, English
literature, history. or whatever fits your
ambition, if You would only be faithful
every day.
Every day. The universe is construct
ed on routine The sun rises every day.
the stars revolve, the seasons come and
go by schedule, your heart beats and
your lungs FIJI and empty as regularly as
the clock ticks, every generation Of men
or of animals is the result Of number
less preceding generations. over and over
again nature tries her hand and her
matchless perfection is only the stored
UP treasure Of endless practice.
And in character every day means
even more than anywhere else The
most honest man is the man who has
been honest every day. the most virtuous
woman is she that has behind her pres
emit virtue the inertia Of whole life full
of virtuous thought and deed; the hap
piest person is the one who has long
praetised being happy. and that soul IS
coolest and surest in a crisis who every
day has schooled himself in self-mastery.
No force is so great in any man as the
stored up power Of what he has been
doing every day.

The Spread of Democracy
! Over the World Has Begun
1t Cannot BE Checked
Democracy is a most contagious Thing

"a Democracy is a most contagious thing.
It's germs can fly across oceans and
continents and settle in most unexpected
places-in China, for instance much 90
the chagrin of the japanese, who are a
military, warlike people;
Again, in India. where it is promptly
smothered to a smouldering fire.
In Russia, where prosecuted for de-
cades under the name of nihilism. 1T
now bids fair to rise triumphant.
In Spain, which we thought half
asleep and. therefore, supposed 20 be inn
mune for the present.
And now to our surprise, in South
Africa, where. according TO press re-
ports which somehow got by the censor
''the house of assembly, by a vote of u
to 81. passed a resolution. June 20 con-
demning republican COR democratlcl
propaganda being carried on m South
Africa. the movement being fostered by
the nationalists among the Dutch farm
ers."
Naturally the movement might be eX-
pected to be fostered by just these.
1t is always nationalists or people I'M
der either despotic or alien rule who
stir things up and make fecund culture
bed upon which these germs may settle
and multiply.
What we might say about the Dutch
farmers of the Transvaal and their ma
tionalism may better perhaps, be left
unsaid at the present time. There are
plenty of Enghshmen who look upon the
Boer war in the same light as do the
majority of the Americans; in fact,
Lloyd-George was one Of its bitterest op-
ponents.
But from those days to these is long
step.
We are now fighting, with Britain as
an ally, for democracy, and perhaps we
had better wait for all the facts while
forgetting that which is in the past and
no part of the present.
Democracy cannot be stamped out.
1t gains strength as it progresses and,
instead of becoming exhausted, the pa
tent only sloughs off his old dried up
skin of tradition and ignorance and
energies glowing with health and the
hope of happiness.
Given REAL democracy. let the people
be TRULY represented throw into the
discard any lurking supersttions regard
ing royalty, the divine right of kings.
the inability Of the people to govern
themselves, and see where we viii arrive
in another hundred years.
King Constantine Of Greece declared
to venizelos that he was not respon-
sible to his people but only to God, and
Constantine, no longer king, is now seek
ing refuge in democratic Switzerland
where even kings are safe.

taxes be levied which would not
cripple business, deplete reserve
strength of the nation and its ability
to carry further loads. The war, he
contended, is not popular.
There are scores of contributing
reasons" he said. I'VE are sincerely
devoted to peace, the campaign cry
of the year before our involvement
and was dwelt upon in studied ora
tory from every stump. We are a
polyglot people, without racial en-
tity. Our free republic is full of
aliens. We have many who cloak
themselves in American habiliments
but their souls, genius and cunning
are loyal to the land from which
they came We harbor the trained
propagandists whose business it is to
spread sedition. We have plotters and
bomb planters and wholesale muir
derers. We have the anarchist whose
creed is destruction. We have the
greedy and the profiteer in every
walk of life. And we have not been
clear in our reasons for making war.
1t would be we'll to say less about
worldwide democracy and let it ring
clear that we mean to hold America
safe for Americans. We are not
fighting to fix the international
boundaries of Europe.

JITNEY CASES
COMING TOCRUX


Harrisburg's jtney situation will
come to a cruX tonight at midnight
when the time for the siXty-five jit-
neymen to file petitions to amend ap-
plications for state certificates will
expire. Thus far none of the men
has filed any paper and the result
may be that the applications on file
for certificates of public convenience
will fall and that the men against
whom the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany filed protests will lose their
cases. 1t is the intention of the at
torneys for the jitneymen to take
appeals as soon as formal orders are
issued in the cases, although none of
the counsel would admit to-day that
1T was the plan to refuse to file
amendments and then take appeals.
Some time ago the commission is
sued notice that it would not grant
applications for certificates for jitlN&ys
in the city between Market and Divi-
sicns streets and Front street and the
railroad, but would receive apploca-
tions for the rest of the city and
for passage through the above area
by way of the Herr street subway.
The time given for filing amended pc
titions will expire tonight.
Petitions for rehearing of the
death sentence of Henry Ward Mot
tern, of Jefferson county. were filed
to-day at the office of the Board of
Pardons. Mottern is under sentence
of electrocution in the week of Sep
tember 10. but it is probable that a
respite will be granted to him in a
day or so. The case will be heard on
september %, but all papers for the
board must be filed for the nineteenth,
the original date for meeting.
The Public Service Commission to-
day listed complaints against the
West Reading Water Company and
cases arising in the Reading district.
for hearing in Reading on October 4.
Complaint against the increase in
rates of the West Reading company
were filed by the borough of West
Reading and citizens of that neigh
borhood to-day.
Miss LnurR Wakefield, of this city,
was to-day appointed a notary public.

Get Big Returns From
Piggery Maintained
From Waste Garbage

At the State Hospital for the In
sane for more than twenty years the
garbage from the various buildings
has been fed 10 pigs The system
is an effective way of disposing of the
waste, according to DIR. II. l.. Orth
superintendent of the hospital, caus-
ing no annoyance from odors and
little extra work after the garbage is
collected.
At present eighty hogs are kept in
large piggery on the hospital
grounds and are fed entirely on the
waste. About a month before the
time for killing them they are fat
tened on corn. Usually the supply of
pork obtained can be used for weeks.
DR.. Orth explained. effecting a big
saving in the cost of maintenance.
Maintaining piggery with garbage
is a system that hsa been in use here
for years. If the pens are kept clean
there is no trouble from offensive
odors and all the waste is disposed
of daily. While we are not ANNOYED
by the piggery, at times the odors
from the Pennsylvania Reduction
Company plant are extremely OBJ
noXious," DR.. Orth said.

of the kind is that Of Henry and Augustus Y.
Dodge, who served simultaneously, from d1f-
ferent political divisions Of the country and for
part of the time in the same branch OF the
national Legislature. Henry Dodge was dele

and both father and son were elected and
served as senators in the thrtieth, thirty first,

GERARD MUCH IN DEMAND.

Ambassador Gerard is just now one Of the
most available men in his party. Tammany
wants to run him for mayor of New York City
and doubtless would promise him the guberna-
torial nomination as well; and it is not impos-
sible that the president may be keeping cabi-
net portfolio for him until he is rested from his
arduous experiences in Berlin. The country
probably would prefer to see him take the
place Josephus Daniels is said, by the common
figure of speech known as hyperbole, to fill.
But there would be little lamentation if he were
given Secretary Bakers post or that of Secre-
tary Redfeld or McAdoo
However, the ambassador may have pref
erence of his own and it is rumored that he
wants to take on no official duties for month
or two until he puts the finishing touches on a
narrative Of his experiences in Berlin. It will
be, so it is limited, the most sensational book
produced since the beginning of the war; for it
is an open secret that Mr.. Gerard has come to
have horror Of Prussian practices and deep
distrust of Prussian professions, t~iieving the
Prussians to have cast aside all moral and ETH
cal consideration and to be most viciously dis
posed toward the United States.
