tile pleasure he gets out of having
played fair and done his best cannot
be taken away from him.
Looking over a great city, you see
but few who have attained wealth,
fame and the other prizes we all work
for. The great bulk Of the popula-
ton are unsuccessful.
This makes you a pessimist If you
assume that happiness comes only
from winning.
And the great whine that contin-
ually goes up from the half-baked
philosophers, callow poets, near
sighted reformers, dyspeptic religion
lists, and all the rest of the army of
pessimists, is due to the fact tha they
do not realize that happiness Is not
the normal product of success, but
is a continual, blessed by-product of
fair play.
For, in sense, nobody succeeds
utterly. Nobody but a fool or an ego
fist comes to the end of his days with
the snug satisfaction of having done
all he wanted to do.

When the increased freight rates
went into effect the propagandists en-
deavored to persuade us it won't hurt
you much, and illustrated their con-
tention by showing that the increased
charge wouldn't be much more than
formerly for hauling paper Of pins
or a package of toothpicks. But Brer
Goolsby, of the Wauchula Advocate,
points out that the freight on a Ford is
$42 more than before the raise, and
if that were the only article thus af-
fected, there would be cause for COM
plant. Anything that comes between
the Ford and the proletariat is deserv-
ing of deep and dark condemnation
and we hereby stamp the same on the
higher freight which, as Edi-
tor Goolsby points out, go to pay
kinky-headed 6remen and brakemen
higher wages than are paid to preach
ers. school teachers, book-keepers and
other learned professions"

SUCCESS AND FAIR PLAY
Washington Times.)

We cannot all win in the game OF
! lie, but we can all play fair.
There's satisfaction in winning. Ta
know that you have carried off the
prize, got the spotlight, received the
applause, and beat the other fellow
there's no denying it tastes good.
In fact, it is one of the most prim-
tive of good feelings. 1t goes back
tc the cave men, who successfully
dubbed his rival and took away his
women and pelf. For thousands oil
years evolution has been developing
in us the lust OF success.
So we contest for prizes while W.
are children in school, we struggle
for the mastery in the football game
., college, we seek justice in nav
courts by conflict of legal talent; we
compete in business, in sports, in
dress. in politics, and, upon the
grandest scale of all, in war.
All human energy seems to be put
forth, not primarily with the inten-
ton OF producing something, accom-
something, adding something
to the sum of mankind's happiness,
hut for the purpose of outdoing some
body else.
So vast and universal tendency
We shall not attempt to stop. It Is
the way nature gets things done. It
Is the strange and iron law of the sur
vival of the fittest Possibly in the
end it means a stronger and better
luality OF human beings.
Yet, like all general laws, it is mod
led by other laws. Gravitation also
$ a universal law, and grips every
,olecult OF matter, but the variety and
beauty of the world are caused by
rany other forces. If there were NO
orce but gravitation all things would
lie in one dead lump.
So If the survival Of the fittest and
he Joy Of success were the only
lrives Of human conduct, it would
'aturally follow that only the few
uccessful ones could be happy, while
he great mass of men and women
re condemned to failure and bitter
ess.
And we find in all our doings that !,
mere is source of satisfaction as !
een, as constant and as dependable !
S success.
It is the consciousness that we have
iayed fair.
Only one can win, but all can have
he pleasure of the consciousness that
hey have honestly competed. have
OF cheated nor struck foul.
IL IL NOT necessary to conquer in
rder to feel the glow Of self respect;
hat Is necessary is to know that we
ave 'fousht a good fight We have
ept the faith
This might be called the democ-
acy Of happiness" that is, it is the
sason why the masses may be happy \
nd not alone the few superior ones.

Not mfrequently we note an item in
one or the other of our exchanges that
the Board of Trade is to re-organ-

reorganization. That is testimony to
its efficiency and good work that can
not be controverted. No organization
Of the kind could live 50 long unless
it showed by its record of service that
it deserved to live.

IN SCRAPPY MOOD

MINNEAPOLIS, May 2O.-Tne Indians
and Millers were ready TO meet for the
first time this season and at the pace
POngo Joe lCantillon's gang has been
going local fans expect TO see their IA
Torites wallop the HOOsiers.
In the past, however. Indianapolis has
been no easy team for the Millers TO
handle and due 20 the fact that the In
dams were set back at Kansas City they
are here fired with determination to start
something like a winning streak.
The Tribesmen are handicapped by
poor pitching and a weak hitting out
field; that much is known b. p but de
spite that. local fans realize the Hoosiers
have a fighting spirit that IS hard to
smother.
Therefore. the four game series start
ing today no doubt will prove popular
from local standpoint. The Millers had
their winning streak cracked by the
Saints yesterday and it may be that the
one-day set back will work TO the ad-
vantage of Jack Hendricks club.
