John Dickinson wrote the Constitution of
the United States with his own pen and hand.
The ground where the Rodney statue will stand
Rodney Square-was part of the Dickinson
farm. The fact that Caesar Rodney, of our Del
aware, signed the Constitution, and that John
Dickinson, of our Wilmington, wrote the sacred
document should be emphasized and repeated
until every child is familiar with it. The educa-
ton of all our children should be founded on it.
1t should be the cornerstone of every edifice,
the keystone of every arch. Our Constitution
Is the greatest document that ever came out of
the consciousness of man. Should we not here
in the land of Rodney and Dickinson know more
about it.

GIRL USES HATPIN TO
END LIFE ON LEARNING
HER LOVER MUST DIE

BUDAPEST. - Yusi Karzos, q
pretty Hungarian dancer, after at.
tempting the life of police officer,
stabbed herself to death in tragic
circumstances in the central Hun
garian police station.
On learning that her lover, Mix
los Zehner, had been arrested on a
charge of being concerned in plot
to re-establish the soviet in Hungary,
she obtained permission to visit him
while he was undergoing a prelimi-
nary examination in the police sta
ton
After an affectionate greeting she
asked the detective in charge of the
case if she might speak to him alone
for moment. He assented.
She protested her lovers inno-
cence and pleaded in vain for Glenn
ency.
Then she said, This means he
will die, or at the best suffer life
long Imprisonment"
Il am afraid it is So" answered
the police officer.
The girl thereupon pulled out a
revolver she had hidden in her dress
and leyelled it at the detective. But
he was too quick and disarmed her
before she could pull the trigger.
While waiting to be removed into
custody she pulled out hatpin and
pressed it into her heart, where it
broke off short, but not before a
mortal wound had been>inflicted.

THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN

The Idaho Republican is much
gratified at the contest it has start
ed to build up the biggest subscrip-

years of experience. They come with
the highest recommendations as to
al .lity and character. From some of
the large cities The Idaho Republic
can has information that their work
was entirely satisfactory in all re-
spects. Their plan is such that
there is no possibility of losing. Even
though no prize is won, the COM
mission allowed is ample to permit
a worker to make good money. With
this certainty of good wages and the
possibility of a splendid prize, there
is no reason why there should not be
a large number of enthusiastic work.

WHAT WE THINK
OF OURSELVES :

No man ever made. success soi
himself, business or raising a gar
den unless he believed in the de-
velopment of big things from little
things. He knows he is filling d
small niche but that he will grow
to fill big niche in the world; or
that the business, tho limited, will
expand; or that seeds planted be-
meath the ground will turn into food
products by and by
The man who doubts bars himself
from trying.
But we do misuse this heaven-sent
quality of confidence, or faith, what
ever you wish to name 1t. We find
ourselves quite often INDUCING in
the empty and fanciful day dreams
Of one who mistakes wishbone for
backbone. We see ourselves as no
one will ever see us. We expect
too much and ask too little of our
selves.
You hear some men say they
are weak on the details of their
job, but that they always have been
interested in larger things, in big
deals that reck not of the ways and
means but drive on to success. They
are fired with desire rather than de-
termination. They do not see that
the man who masters big problem
also masters every little obstruction
in his path.
Whether you believe that the COM
mand of detail gives command of
larger affairs, or that the ability to
put thru big projects carries with
it the ability to override minor OBJ
structions, the fact stands out that
every considerable accomplishment
reaches completion only after
struggle with many tiny but signifi-
cant details.
One of the greatest difficulties
that George Washington met in
fighting thru to win out colonial in
dependence was the vexatious ques-
ton of whether the army should be
fed by states or by the continental
congress The colonies didn't want
congress to dictate what they should
do and yet they were unable to prop
erly feed their own men in the
ranks.
Lincoln had to deal with the petty
personal jealousies with which his
cabinet was infested.
Hannibal kept the Romans run
ming in their own territory for four
teen years, but he failed to over
come the personal opposition in his
own country that prevented him
from receiving fresh troops and sup

Napoleon lost Waterloo on sim
gle oversight-he was not informed
of the old sunken road into which he
sent his invincible cavalry.
Failures big and little, can usu-
ally be traced to trifling mistakes.
So, when a man says to himself that
he could do great things II only he
had great things to do, instead of
the time-eating, misunderstanding
details Of his work-a-day job, he:is
Just kidding himself. The big chief
may not touch a single detail Of
the business he directs, but he has
II mastered just the same and he
also has the ability to eliminate any
old monkey wrench that falls into
the machinery. The head mans job
is nothing more nor less than neu-
tralizing all the annoying little
things that can arise to. obstruct
the progress Of an enterprise
Which all comes back to the old
saying that chain rs no stronger
than its weakest link. You will see
many q talented man doing the work
Of an underling, while his wife main
tains that If he only had a chance
he could fill the boss shoes better
than the boss, but II you were to look
into this mans qualifications you
would find weak link somewhere
in his ability to handle detail, and
handle it on the side, as a detail.
The man who does big things must
be one who can do little things in
a big way; and yet not let them get
in his way and throw him out of
gear.
1t is fallacy to say that you
could do big things under other cir
cumstances, because you are then
admitting that mere circumstances
have mastered you.
Let a man be absolutely honest
with himself and he will be salts
fled to do the best work he can do
in the position he happens to oc-
cupy. There is altogether too much
envying of other mems success with
out knowing the principles of all
success. F. G. K.

"SNANI<' GETS BLACK

In future the only officers allowed

SPEAKING OF GRAFTERs

A man on the street said he knew
the carnival company was bunch
of grafters because carnival people
generally are after the money and
don't care how they get it. He
stated further that few days ago
young fellow and his girl went
down there and the girl wanted Ole
of the kewpies, so the young fell
low started in at ten cents a throw
and spent seven dollars before he
got doll.
A bystander on hearing the state
ment suggested that perhaps the fell
low could not throw and did not
know enough to quit when he found
that his education in ball playing
had been neglected. The starry teller
then added, as If it were the fault
of the carnival people, "And the girl
broke the doll within ten minutes
after she got it,"
Then the bystander spoke up again
and said, well, a fellow that can't
throw ball and hit anything, would
probably have to take a girl that
couldn't take care of doll after she
got it. He had to throw seventy
times before he hit mark, and she
broke the doll the first chance she
had. Is it the duty of the carnival
company to furnish him a doll just
because he was a poor shot or to
take care of the doll for her just
because her mother had never train
ed her? What they need is a school
or some parents to bring them up
with some sense and snap"
Another Case
A woman with two children went
down the line and landed at the
She asked the
price of three tickets and was told
that they were thirty cents-ten
cents each. The woman said that
was too much-they ought to be
only five cents. The woman selling
tickets said it was not profitable to
furnish rides at five cents each; they
have to pay high expenses in every
way, $3.50 night for a room to
sleep in, and everything else in pro-
portion. and they pay the war tax
md the income tax and one or two
,ther kinds of tax, besides the IL
,ense in every town, and that five
cent rate was out of the question.
The woman with the kiddies at |.

It's for twenty cents" AS she did
o she made some sign to the boy at
er side and he made quick pass
t the window and ran. One ticket

i'd not actually see his hand grasp
:. Then the mother demanded two
ickets, and denied that her son
'ould swipe a ticket. The ticket
eller furnished another ticket at her
wn expense, and remarked to the
lother that If the carnival people
ere grafters they were evidently

sitting things.

,rnoons and they took an interest
