WHEN YOU HAVE TO.


We are driven by necessity. When
we have to-we do!
The Indian-even in civilization
cannot be taught to save. For his
whole existence grew up out of day
by-day living. What need of bank
account when he could use his skill
to kill and thus satisfy his hunger?
Nor would he hunt until driven to do
So
Out of the habits of the wild have
all of us grown Even after thou
sands OF years, the very smallest per-
centage of men and women come to
old age fortified against want
But when one has to-he does,
And so lit is that we carry about
within US every evidence OF immor-
tality and divine endurance
When We have to. we think. When
We have TO, we work And when We
have to-we CAM
Self-reliance is the pivot on which
all success must revolve.
When you know that you have to.
go ahead. Leave off every complaint
and face the task squarely, whether
it looks dark or light in front.
A friend once told me the story of
a man who never admits failure. He
told me how that man faced the loss
of million dollars with the same
stoical courage with which he fought
for a million dollars. He told me Of
how the man once sunk a shaft two
thousand feet deeper than one had
ever been sunk for oil-because he
BELIEVED that there was oil down
there And there wasl HE HAD to
do that thing to back his judment.
When you have to-go TO it!

In the north there is Comparatively
little discussion of tariff legislation,
but among the peanut, cotton seed oil,
mohair and wool producers Of the
south and southwest there comes a
vehement demand for protection Of
their industries from the destructive
competition of foreign producers. De-
mand for a tariff coming from such
sources will tend to place the whole
subject on the shelf. The tariff pri-
marily was intended to benefit manu-
facturers, not producers of raw ma
terial. When Democrats begin urging
protection Republicans are likely to
conclude that there is something
wrong about it.

Three Kinds of States.

For campaign purposes the states are
divided into two classes. The first
are those that are doubtful, with
chances favoring the ticket Much at
rention is concentrated on this ella IS.
There is usually one, and sometimes
even more than one member of the
campaign committee doing nothing
but attending to the campaign in each
such state. In the days prior to cleo
ton reports several times a day are
received The second class is of those
that are doubtful, tho more apt to be
carried by the opposition
The press bureau is usually COM
posed of two sets of men. First, those
who do nothing but read the newspa-
pers and magazines in search of cam
paigu material. This work is both i'm
portant and laborious. The second
class is of the men who write the arti-
cles sent out for publication by the
bureau. During the campaign of 1900
the Republican headquarters in Chi
cago had seven men in its press bu-
reau. Five were readers, while two
got up the articles. The country week
lies get this matter in the shape Of
patent insides, the country dailies as
stereotyped stuff, while proof sheets
are mailed to the more important pa
pers and are apt to undergo extensive
revision prior to publication. During
the 1900 campaign a list Of country
papers with a circulation of $4,000

NATURAL GAS IS WASTED AT
 TEXAS WELLS

AUSTIN, Texas, March 30 (by As sociated Press).-One of the chief causes for the great waste of natural gas in Texas is the grossly inadequate royalty usually paid for gas by the operators, according to a statement by the oil and gas division of the Texas railroad commission.
 '"The landowner has so little at stake that he rarely takes any action to prevent the waste of his product, ' the statement said ''The operator gets gas so cheap that he has prac- tically no financial loss, regardless of the amount of wastage.
 If the landowners would demand an eighth royalty on gas as we'll as oil, less gas would be wantonly vast ed, and all concerned would get larger returns on their investment"

]MICADNDUSTRY IS STARTED IN
 NEW MEXICO

SANTA FEE, N. M, March 30 (by As sociated Press).-The commercial mica industry which is just being opened up in New Mexico promises. it is said, to be one of the most ex- tensive of it's kind in the United States. For years this deposit, which stretches over the eastern and south ern portion of Rio Arriba county, and extends into Santa Fe county has lain dormant, but it is now being developed after tests have fully demonstrated that the mica is equal in quality to that produced anywhere else in the country
 Ground mica is used in the manu facture of paints, axle grease, roof ing material wall paper, tire powder, and as an adulterant in rubber, as we'll as for the manufacture of wash CTS. Sheet mica is extensively used for stoves, electrical purposes, picture slides and phonograph diaphragms.
