WHY PEOPLE SUCCEED.


Some employees upon being given an
order cannot keep it in mind. Moth
ing irritates the employer more than
to have to give an order over and
over again. If one cannot grasp in
struetions in any other way, he should
at once reduce them to writing. He
should refer to them until he knows
them by heart, and understands the
principle of the thing.
But no worker should ever think
that he solved his problem merely
when he acquired what Knowledge is
held by those who instructed him.
All industry is IN the process of de-
velopment

who takes that point of view may
think he keeps his work un to stan

and machines and processes arc al

slant effort to work out new ard bet

The inventive, ingenious mind can see
ways to turn out better product with
less effort. The people who succeed
are those who put their brains to work
on their problems. and devise new
methods and systems to meet the par
ticular situation. When a man ac-
quires that habit no matter how lowly

HOW TO COLLECT TAXES.

A man who has had much expert
ence in the collection of taxes, as well
as with the administration of tax
laws generally, writes the journal that
the revenues of the state can be great
ly increased without increasing the
rate If taxation. if the law is 50 cor
rected as to enforce collection of the
taxes levied.
The plan suggested for tho coilec-
ton of taxes is to put collections in
the hands of the travelling auditor
with at least six well-paid assistants
The assistants would be located in six
districts with authority to carefully
supervise collections. All delinquent
cies should be reported to the travel
ing auditor who would have the right
to call in the assistance of the district
attorney.
The governor should be given au-
thority to remove such district attor-
ney if lie failed to perform his duty

WHAT SCHWAB DREAMED.

The following anecdote was told by
Charles NJ SchWeb at the convention
Of the Reconstruction congress of the
United States chamber Of commerce.
do YOU know said Mr.. Schwab,
"the other night when | was down at
Bethlehem, ! had q dream. | drcamt
that I ought to go to confession to
tell some OF the things | did twenty
odd years ago when a lot of big cor
porationS were formed. You know
had a little to do with the formation
of one of them, at least. But IN my
dream ] seemed to feel that | ought
not to go to confession, unless | took
Mr.. Morgan with me. But thcn-I re-
membered Mr.. Morgan was a Protes-
tant, while ! was Catholic, and, in
long time how [ was going to bring
Mr.. Morgan to the confessional
But then a happy thought struck
me. | remembered that my parish
priest, good Father Zahm. who is sit
ting here on the platform, had a SYM
pathy as broad as charity, and so [
asked him il | could bring Morgan
to confession. He thought it over for
q while and concluded that he would
strain Il point and receive Mr.. Nor
CANS confession with my own. A few
days later. as ! dreamed the dream
we went to confession and We told
Father Zahm-Mr. Morgan and IA
lot Of things that we had never told
anybody else before and We never told
anybody else afterward. Finally. when
we seemed to be all through with our
stories, the good father said:
You fellows wait here for little
and I'll be back

an unconsconable while, and | was
getting nervous | waited while
longer. and then ! said to Mr.. Morgan:
Where do you suppose he's gone"
and Mr.. Morgan replied:

ROMANTIC ST. KILDA.
London Tit Bits.


Many have been the vicissitudes
through which the lonely island of st.
kilda-attacked by a German sub
marine in May last--has passed.
st. Kilda is the most remote of the
Hebrides. the nearest land to it being
Griminish Point, North Ulst, 40 miles
away.
The island has been the property of
the Macleods from time immemorial,
although one of the family General
Normand Macleod. sold it in 1879. 1t
was repurchased, however, in 1871
for 5000 pounds sterling by his
grandson, known to the worthy folk
of st. kilda as Norman XIII.
The present population is about 80
speaking crofters, who ENJOY
home rule and are practical commun-
lists, They are cut off from the rest
of the world, however. for the greater
part of the wear. Crime is unknown,
but famine often haunts the crofters,
owing to their being no regular means
of intercourse with the nearest NAM
land. They live mostly by rearing
sheep and killing sea fowl for their
feathers and oil.
The fact that a wireless station ana
postoffice were established on the
island some time ago no doubt caused
the Smelling by fhe U-boat.

ABOUT PUBLIC SPEAKING.

A college boy has asked the Journal
to tell him how he may become an
eloquent speaker. Much as we would
like to comply. the task is too great
for us 1t is much like asking how to
become a great poet, n great painter,
q great inventor Besides, the mean
ing Of the word eloquent has greatly
changed during the past fifty years.
What the Journal has tried to i'm
press upon speakers in New Mexico
is that they should, first of all, have
something worth saying, Then they
should say it in the fewest words pos
sble that VIII convey the message.
Message is a good word in this con-
nection. If there is no message there
is no occasion for a speech.
The old style was ornate oratory.
The speaker dealt high flown Ian
guage. He was dramatic in gesture
and resorted to the tricks of the actor.
We would today call him theatrical.
Also his sentences were constructed
for cadence, for SMILES. for hyper
boles. His prose was raw poetry.
Not infrequcntly he sacrificed sense
for sound and fury.
Probably no better example of the
highly ornate style of oratorv exists
than the speech delivered by Robert
G. Ingersoll at the soldiers reunion
at Indianapolis, which is printed else
where on this page. Printed along
side it is Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress, which may be taken as the best
model of the later style of oratory.
though it was delivered decade
earlier than that by Ingersoll.
In these days we make short speech
es, if we have a care for the good opin-
ion of our hearers. We carefully pre-
pare in advance what we are to say.
say it clearly and without theatricals
and quit when the time comes to quit
No man who has something to say
that is worth while, ever failed to in
terest an audience, if he was as brief
in his statements as careful prepara-
ton would permit him to be. No audi
ence ever was pleased with rambling
talk, and by the time a speaker has
said a half dozen times, lust one
more thought and | shall conclude
my remarks the most patient audi
cnce is in a mood to throw things at
him.

Two Styles of Oratory as Shown
in Addresses, Lincoln--I ngersoN
Speech of Lincoln
on Gettysburg Field

Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon the con-
tinent a new nation conceived IN lih-
erty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal NOW
we are engaged in u great civil war,
testing whether that nation or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on
great battle field of that war we
have come TO dedicate portion OF
that field as final resting place Tor
those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t Is alto-
Gether fitting and proper that we
should do this
But in large sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrItte. we
cannot hallow this ground. The
brave men. living and dead, who
struggled here, have consocrated 1t
far above our power TO add or de-
tract. The world will little note nor
long remember what we say here;
but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us-the living
rather. to be dedicated here to the un-
finished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly adj
vanced. 1t is rather for US to he here
dedicated TO the great task remaining
before us, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
the cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion; that
we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in Vain that
this nation under God shall have a
new birth of freedom; and that gov
eminent of the people by the people,
and for the people shall not perish
from the earth.

FOLLOWING PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

A newspaper paragraphcr once re-
wanted to get a certain idea enacted
in legislation. was sufficient reason
for congress not doing 1t. OF course.
he didn't mean this literally. Poll
ticians take a great deal of pains
usually to ascertain public sentiment.
1t is a fact, however. that men
who hold office frequently make seri-
Gus mistakes in estimating public sem
timent. There is a great mass of
people who give little attention to
public questions ON any question
they are apt to be swayed by preju-
dice, msinformation and by persons
having a selfish interest.
At the same time, the mass of the
people are honest. sincere, and intelli-
gent enough, when they give their
settled attention TO thing. SO il
happens that the most astonishing
reversals Of public. opinion take place
within Il short time.
Where the politicians make their
mistake is in being swayed too much
by the superficial opinions that are
widely prevalent at the moment.
They disregard too much the real
merits of public issues. 1t is all very
well for the politician to keep his ear
to the ground, as the phrase goes, but
let him listen TO the people who are
the real leaders of opinion and do the
original thinking,
Every community has a certaint mi
nority of people, not always conspicu-
Gus. who do their quiet thinking.
They work things out in their own
minds unaffected by any personal
schemes. The influence these people
exert on public sentiment is amazing

Every Woman Should Know What l.
Hers by Right.

A young woman in the office of a
letter dcploring the ignorance of
women in legal and business matters.
She says:
whether by their own fault or the
fault of others they are compelled
through necessity to sacrifice what
ever article of value they possess.
Having had no experience in that
line and ignorant of procedure, many
people come too late to redeem their
property. They learn that articles
have long since been sold for interest
due. They go away crushed and never
know that money may be due them
or thing of value"
The contentious are well taken. IF
a worker in n department store is
often struck by this fact. how much
more commonly must this he true in
the general affairs of life?
| have long thought that the Of
forts of women to attain equal places
with man might have been successful
long before this time if women had Il
clearer appreciation of their rights in
affairs of business.
The simplest affairs Of everyday life
in the minds of many women seem to
them to be governed by such complex
rules and commercial affairs: and
legal rights seem so far removed from
their everyday affairs and concerns,
that they are willing, often, to submit
to what they regard as plain injustice
rather than assert rights whose pro-
lection seems 10 them to REQUIRE tCdi-
Gus machinery.
This seeming criticism is Just as APP
plicable to men in the simple affairs
of business as it is to women But the
fact is peculiarly true of our sex.
While we have always complained
of double standards in social life, am
very much afraid we have yielded to
the idea that in the matter OF civil
rights two such standards exist
This, of course. is less true in this
country than anywhere and | am con-
fident that Il clear understanding of

Will emancipate women more quickly
than any other one thing.
] can readily understand why wom-
en- have. # not consciously, certainly
unConsciously. yielded to the idea of a
distinct double standard in the law so
far as they are concerned for until
quite recent times in other countries
! women occupied a position before the
law which placed them upon a basis
differentiated from that of men.
But it is a long cry from the days
when women We're the chattels Of men
and when upon the death of q man
his wife was sacrificed with him, to
the time when women stand in most
respects equal with men in the eyes
Of the law; when they are an inn
portant part in the business and po-
litical life of our country and their
voices are heard in its legislative
halls
Yet some of the most common rights
of women are not within their knowl-
edge.
Take the case of making a will:
upon marriage the previously eXecu-
ted will of Il woman becomes Invalid,
whereas that of a man does not.
For example. n woman has no right
to any of the property of a husband,
real or personal. unless she obtained
it by his will However, her husband
cannot give legal title on the sale of
his property or mortgage unless she
consents in writing. She Is entitled
TO one-third of the income from his
real estate owned at the time of his
death during her lifetime.
There are many ways by which peo-
pie ignorant of the law may be cheat
ed out of then" rights. 1t is done
every day
The important point about it all,
however, is the iron-clad rule that
Ignorance of the law excuses no ONE
Therefore, in this day of business
women, the bis thing is to know all
about transaction before YOU agree
to it.
A very safe measure is never to
sign n paper unless you thoroughly
understand it. This is for trustful
women who get the worst of it when
trusting to the knowledge of some
body else.
The simplest rule is to consult some
competent person when in doubt.

"IN THE DAYS \FWS.r

Attorney Caminetti, United States
commissioner general of immigration,
who has inaugurated a campaign for
the deportation Of undesirable aliens,
is a Californian. First among men
of Italian race stock to get any con-
siderable political recognition from
a federal administration, he has this
added interest as a citizen and office
holder. He is lawyer by profess
sion, and began his public career In
1877 as a county prosecutor. Then
followed terms in both branches of
the California legislature, and two
terms as a representative in congress.
He identified himself with the demo-
cratic party early in his career and
served as a delegate to several of the
national conventions. When Presi-
dent Wilson named him as commits
sioner general of immigration it was
his first introduction to the eastern
public.
