ON NEVER BEING SATISFIED.

Our achievements travel no further
than our best desires.
We can never be told too many
times about the power back of our
thoughts. What life is for us is large
ly a matter of the attitude of mind
which we have toward life. And our
thoughts are what build this attitude
to its healthiest state.
We all get discouraged. I never
knew anyone who did not. No really
worthy worker Is ever satisfied with
what he has done.
So that, after all, ii is actually a
good sign to feel dissatisfied. Dis
satisfied-but never disgruntled or
bitter. For it is when we are honestly
dissatisfied that the mind calls upon

Lifting of the embargo from Rus
sian ports promises speedily to re-
lieve European pressure upon Amer
lea for food. Russia is capable of do
ing a large share of provisioning the
world and is reported to have immense
stores of farm products in reserve
awaiting shipment aboard. The OPEN
ing of her ports should speedily solve
the high cost of living problem as far
as 1t relates to food.

Outside the ranks of the radical
agitators little is heard these days of
the danger to the people resulting
from large Accommodations of wealth.
No wealthy individual or group OF
capital ever has threatened the peo-
pie with freezing or announced that
the railroads would stop running. The
menace of power harmfully used lies
in another direction, and public opin-
ion is beginning to take cognizance of
the fact.

All building records in the territory
north of the Ohio and east of the Mis-
souri, rivers were broken in 1919. Sta
tistics show that contracts totaling
$2.S32, 9O2,0 900 were awarded for
eleven months ending December 1,
1919, or 500. 900 more than in the
corresponding period for 1918, the
previous high record. But 1t should
not be forgotten that much of this in
crease is due to higher cost of labor
and material. A shortage of housing

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY E. HOUSE.
(From Philadelphia Public Ledger.)

To the tired business man who -
satiated with musical comedy we make
bold to suggest q substitute spectacle.
1t is that OF Mr.; Bryan, slecge-ham-
mer in one hand and crowbar in tho
other, in the act OF again wrecking the
Democratic party.
Fortunately for the Democrats. Mr..
Bryan has never been able to quality
as lethal weapon. Had he been able
to do SO the party would have baen
dead long ago.
Reasons for the recollection OF Mr..
Berger continue to be advanced. The
most obvious and palpable of them all
seems to have been overlooked. The
congressional district in which Mr..
Berger runs FOR office is that kind Of
a district.
There are a number of rules One
of the most prudent is that when the
gentleman who holds the wager is
known as Honest John, it is the part
of wisdom to pick another stake
holder.
Travelling about We note the passing
of many time-honored practices and
| customs. In the north the changes
are so pronounced that a gentleman
can no longer attract favorable atten-
ton to himself by abusing the coli
ored man employed to wait upon him.
Recently, on a railroad train. we
had occasion to observe a case pre-
cisely in point. And the gentleman
from Amarillo, Tex. who insulted the
porter didn't get a hand.

as they are. No, you are wrong in
your conjecture. We had In mind the
Florida editor who boasts of the fact
that he never saw snow.
1t is time for constructive meas
ures. We. therefore, suggest that the
phrases .'steelworker" and "bricklsy-
err be eliminated as fitting synonyms
for easy affluence and that the term
"buttonmaker" be inserted at the
proper place.

umn to know that We have heard

invitation to come around and take n

When the joint session resumed, at .45,
only handful of Senators were present.
The jam at the doors was so great that
they could scarcely get in.
Mrs. Henry b. Thompson, State chair
man, who presided, made the opening
address, as reported in Every Evening
yesterday.
She was followed by Mrs. Henry p.
Scott, whose address was also reported IN
Every Evening yesterday.
Both were vigorously applauded by a
crowd which by that time exceeded the
crowd of the morning.

said majority of the women of that town
and of Kent county do not want the suf-
frage resolution to pass.
A letter was read from Mrs. Otho Now
