aEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN
There Is No Past So Black or So Bit
ter That 1t Cannot Be Redeemed,
Declares Writer.

Take heart and begin again AS
Kipling says, ''there is for you moth
ing irremediable, nothing ineffaceable,
nothing irreconcilabIe in anything you
may have said or thought or DONE"
There is no past so black or so bitter
that it cannot be redeemed. ''Thougl-
thy sins are as scarlet they shall be
made whittier than snow"
There is no batter time to have
mental house G Gaming than now,
writes DIR. Orison Sweet Marden in the
Nautilus. It is q good time to get rid
of the rubbish that has so long been
a handicap. Don't pull along with you
through the door of the present all the
miserable black, painful things which
worried you, married your success and
your happiness in the past. Shut all
of these horrid ghosts out behind the
closed door of your past life. Take
across the threshold of the new day
only those things that can help you, the
friends of your success and your hap
piness; take only the pleasant memo
ries, the helpful thoughts and sugges-
lions with you. Leave all the others
behind. Bury all your skeletons so deep
that they can never come to live with
you again.
Say to them: 'You miserable devils,
you have logged my steps, hindered
my progress, destroyed my peace of
mind, and strangled my efficiency long
ano,,gb will have nothing more TO
do with you. am Gods child, and L
was not made to be bounded by these
enemies who are trying to thwart my
ambition and to dwarf my career by
devitalizing me, and then cutting down
my efficiency"

WORLD FULL OF C0MPLAiNERS
Some Wall About Ill Health, Many
About Ill Fortune, but Most OF
All About III Luck.

The world is full of complainers.
Some complain of i'll health, many of
i'll fortune and most of all Of i'll luck.
A pound of pluck is worth a ton OF
luck. It is not perfect world. VINO
is well every day throughout the year
without an ache, a pain or a cough!
Who is perfect in physique, in tenn
per. in deed and word and conscienceF
What man or woman is without
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
It is a world of foibles, fads and
fanatics. If we were all perfect, the
preachers would be needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. If all were alike, the mo-
notony would be unbearable.
Think of these things when you feel
like repenting over i'll health, i'll for
time. i'll treatment or i'll luck.
Misery loves company and there are
ALWAYS "others."-LeSlie's

SOUTH DAKOTA'S
BEST GOVERNOR
HE Has Given the State "a Business
Administration We Can Point
to With Pride" Says
Robert Shabcr.

Writing in his Hudsonitc, Mr..
Shaber tells what he thinks OF the
Norbeck administration:
Gov. Norbeck, the best governor
South Dakota ever had. has an
nonnced his candidacy for a second
term, and he ought ia be reelected
without one dissenting vote. and by
the unanimous vote OF the people of
South Dakota.
If the cheers OF the populace
are any criterion. Gov. Norbeck is
firmly entrenched in the hearts OF
the people of his W state, judging
by the cheers he received this sum
mer. every time / heard him talk,
for he talks straight from the
shoulder and is for his w state
and Uncle Sam first. last and all
the time. No frills about the gov
ernor; he's just a plain, outstanding,
two listed. one hundred per cent
plus American. every minute of the
time, virile. vigorous and unafraid
n right on the Job every minute of
this time. He has given this state
a business administration thai we
can all point to with pride, and he
has seen to the enacting of more
sensible legislation than has been
passed before In a mess of moons,
II he is advocating a lot more of
good, sensible legislation that / for
n would like to see him put across
II the way to do 1T is to keep
him in the governors chair until he
has a chance to finish the work so
we'll begun. And the nice thing
about it all is to see about ninety
per cent of the papers of the state
come out firmly for Gov. Norbeck
for a second term.
This paper and this editor is for
Governor Norbeck. for another term,
n knowing the people of this
great state as / do, | am confident
that ninety per CEN of the voters
OF the state will feel just as l do
about it,"

Peter Norbeck, South Dakota's
war governor, has announced his
candidacy for reelection. The
Chronicle rises to remark that it
is for Governor Norbeck against
all Corners; he has been weighed
in the balances of great trial; his
office has proved to be no sinecure
and he is not wanting in the ma
terials that make a good governor,
splendid citizen or American. The
people of South Dakota should unite
upon him for their next governor
