Importance OF her friendship TO the Brit
ish Empire will be increased.
With the sentiment Of the govern
ing forces in England divided, and with
the interests of the empire as various
as they are, the course of the British
delegation here will be difficult. There
are signs that this is realized, for
there is no such preliminary getting
together of the British Foreign Office
and Mr.. Hughes, as definite prefer
ence of CO. operation between the two
great Anglo Saxon Powers would
prompt Great Britain in keeping in the
middle of the road.

A WAY off in the bay, Mr., Fisher,
"A man stretched his nes. There it
floated beneath the waves, securely
fastened at the corners to big round
poles driven into the sand at the bot

Every morning he took out the net
and every night he brought it IN. In
the morning he would hook it into
place under the water so cunningly
that the people in the Land of the
Wigglefins never suspected it was
there and would swim right into its
entangling folds. At night he would
gather it in, with its slipping burden,
return to shore, and sort his catch
according to weight, size and kind,
and sell it to market people.
After time the Wiglefins got to
know this, at least all the daddies and
mothers knew, and all of the little
Wigglefins had been warned over
and over to keep away from the bay
and the pound-poles. as repeatedly
as Cutie Colonial had been warned
by his parents to beware of Reddy

there are always careless people and

THE MEN WHO FAIL

"Out of every hundred business

edge than l, and yet | am disposed

es IS much larger.
And yet, the way is straight and
the gate is narrow that leads to sue
cess anywhere, and few there be that
find it. For wide is the way and many
are the tributary paths that lead to
failure.
But this / think is true, that no
where near ninety-eight per cent eff
American men fail permanently. The
man who fails as lawyer, makes
success as a real estate agent The
man who fails as a preached goes in
to life insurance and succeeds. The
man who fails as an editor makes a
success as a stock broker.
In this land the opportunities are
so free, and the spirit of generosity
in business SO broad, that few men
fail permanently if they have char
acter, health and industry.
All of US have failed at something,
and no one of us is anything like the
success he ought to be. Success in
America is almost too easy. We
| should be stronger men if we had
TO tell more earnestly for our sue
cess.
You have tried something and
have failed? Phillip Brooks was ?
| flat failure. as a school teacher, and
Ulysses Grant was no great stress
! as farmer or tanner. y
No man Il a complete failure till
he gives up the struggle
So long as a man has courage to
try again. no one has right to call
him a failure. .
IF you have failed, get. up and try
again. = a

DIT RIAL.
THE Times-Recorder from day t.

THE Times-Recorder from day to
day presents many general fea-
lures of genuine value to its readers,
as well as many which are wholly en-
PERTAINING. One which it is proud
to present starts today. 1t is SYM
postum, series of articles by lead
ing men representing many varied in
terests in this great country of ours,
telling US, in their opinion What IS
The Matter With Us Anyway" The
first of these. by Samuel Vauclain,
president of the Baldwin Locomotive
works, and one of the country's great
est business men, is presented today.
In these signed statements analyz-
ing the situation which will follow
daily-these authorities give various
opinions, but these views recur fire.
quently:
FIRST, that lack of capital is
chiefly to blame.
SECOND, that faults in the system
of taxation and the sudden restric-
lions enforced by the federal reserve
bank system have contributed
Third, that Europe's economic ILL.,
ness is a great factor.
FOURTH, that unemployment Is
not as great as generally believed.
FIFTH, that the low point has been
reached and conditions are improv
ing.
Directly or indirectly, most of these
authorities say that the question ia
not Whats the matter with US?-
but What's the matter with the world
with everybody"
One man said he could answer the
question in two words" eyerybody's
selfshness."
Another put it this way; THE big
trouble is that the old-time pride IN
worl, is gone. Every one, employe
and employer, figures HOW MUCH
MONEY HE CAN MAKE instead of
HOW MUCH WORK HE CAN DO"
*#4
TO get at the facts of unemploy
ment, the Industrial Relations
Association of America has made
special survey of the nations unem.
ployment situation for this paper.
The result bears out the opinion Of
many of the men who have answered
the Times-Reeorder's questions, that
unemployment is not so serious as
painted by federal, state and city of
ficials.
Replies to the questionable sent
cut by E. A. Shay, executive secretary
of the Industrial Relations Associa-
ton, brought disagreement with the
Department of Labor's first estimate
early in September that 100000
were unemployed throughout the
country.
THE figures are deceptive" Secre.
tary Shay said, because they were
based on the number of men dropped
from the abnormally large payrolls
CT industrial plants doing war work
and that excessive work of 1919192V
stimulated by war.
Secretary of Labor Davis has now
revised these figures to the estimate
made by our association-nationwide
unemployment of between 100000
and 100000. He points out that in
normal times between 100000 and
100000 workers always are seeking
jobs and changing from one position
to another.
