SCHWAB AND SUCCESS.

All America knows of the success of
Charles NJ Schwab, the steel magnate,
and many Americans would like to- en-
joy some of the success he has won. Tt
is not likely a large number of Amer
leans will ever enjoy his financial sue
cess but he says that real success in
life is not making money. ''The sue
cessful man is the man who has sue
cessfully accomplished the object he
has set out to attain. Money is not
the thing that brings the thrill to my
lfe-the real thrill lies in the friends
with whom | am surrounded in the
great factories, the fact that / have ac-
complished the things | set out to ac-
complish. - SO, Mr.. Schwab does not
accept the common idea of suceess-ac-
cumulating money-as correct.
lie not only gives a definition of sue
cess as he views it, but he told the
students of Princeton University. in a
recent speech how to attain it. He
first warned them that they could have
either a gay time in life or success but
not both. He gives as fundamental re
quirements for a successful life:
The selection of a definite object in
life, unimpeachable integrity, loyalty,
a liberal education, making friends
rather than enemies, concentration and
ability to decide and application to
work. "Let nothing stand in the way
of your going on.
The. beauty of these fundamental re
quirements is the general application of
them that can be made. A man does
not require riches to adopt and observe
them. The average man can, if he will
enjoy them and realize something of
the success and satisfaction they bring

The Rutland News has contended,
and it believes with reason and logic,
that these post -facto demonstrations on
the liquor license question are Of no

es and Of no avail in all 1t expressed

As a matter of fact little analysis
of the vote east at the recent town
meetings shows that there was no in
crease in the "wet vote over its nor
NAL strength and the " startling over
turn hailed as a reputation of ma
tional prohibition was largely caused
by lack of interest on the part of no
license voters who did not take the
trouble to vote to prohibit the sale of
something already prohibited Had
there been a heavy increase in the nor
nal license vote different aspect
would develop Burlington News.
The Banner finds itself unable TO
agree with the two Newsies of Rutland
and Burlington. 1t is true that the
March elections did not show any con-
siderable gain in wet vote save in a
few towns. Only about one voter in
five in Vermont voted yes on the IL
cense question while about one in eight
voted no. The total vote was too
small to be considered decisive ex-
preston of public opinion but the ex-
ceeding smallness of the dry vote, we
believe, does Indicate some abatement

A REMEDY FOR DIVORCE.

The plain home loving people of A

some remedy for the evil. Some inter
esting suggestions are given by the Los

to the simple life 1t says:
Much of the restlessness in married
life is due to the artificial conditions
that have overwhelmed society. Nat
ural laws and institutions are forgot

pedestal where virtue should rest. Van
ity is a great demoralizing force, and
we are prone to forget that democrat
and immoral are sisters. Fictitious
conditions give birth to false loves
Luxury itself is form of decadence. Say
what you will of causes and cures. the
one visible remedy for this divorce in
sanity is return to the simple life
The tendency of the last few years has
been away from the homely virtues of
truth and fidelity; and the result is the
crowded corridors where the pruient-
minded and the curious wait to hear
salacious testimony. There is an in
creasing evidence that excess of luxury
panders to lust.
Society must return to simpler ways
of living and cease the worship of the

HARNESS and Ford.
(Rutland Herald

Among the minor pleasantries of the
campaign gubernatorial-if it really is
campaign as yet-must be counted the
description of James A. Hartness as the
Henry Ford of Vermont, perpetrated by
the Bellows Falls Times.
Judging from the revelations of the
celebrated suit of the fivver king against
the Chicago Tribune, the comparison is
unfair, unkind and one-sided Mr.. Hart
ness is scholarly and well-informed
man, broad in his study of science and
associated subjects. He is, of course, the
idealist and dreamer when compared with
practical business men like Agan and
Rabbit and he is a mere child in poll
tics when compared with practised old
timer like Emery, but he lacks Henry
Ford's impossible and quixotic attitude
toward the war, for instance, and he is
by no means a one Job man, as must be
admitted when one considers his knowl-
edge of astronomy, aviation and many
other sciences outside of his known
genius in the invention of the turret
lathe and other machinery
What Hartness lacks probably is in
direct contact with state public prob
lens, in knowledge. of men and politics,
in the practical applications of his great
fund of information to concrete ques-
lions of state-craft and policy.
Those with some knowledge of the
great businesses which have been built
up from the fruit of his creative brain
say that it needs the touch of practical
men of affairs to make the Hardness in
ventions practical property and to man
ufacture and get them on the market.
That he has successfully associated
with himself men of the necessary prac-
teal type is clearly to his credit, and
that parallel seems to hold in his concep-
ton and inception of political cam
.paign. If report speaks truly, the man
ayers of the Hartness boom, which is
expected very shortly to reach the di-
mansions of practical campaign of pub
LEFTY and propaganda, will be, o. the
