WAT Is FAILURE?

That the man who is not financially able to re-

b. the new theory Of the head OF Louisville
school
THAT fixes new limit upon man and raises the
question Of what ls success and what may be
faiiure.
az course even from financial standard this
new cEisramayist is dead wrong. for the facts are
aH against him.
it IS true that the man who has saved but little
a. IS is weighted with much heavier handicap
imam he who starts hs thriftiness at an early age
end who has his feet rather sungly upon the ladder
when De arrives a. thLs period OF life
But there are the glittering exceptions which
prove the faIsity Of his theory and which hold out
hope for those who have reached this mark and who
are not equipped with enough surplus to carry them
on through the years
Ford. Tor instance. formed his first company when
ae was 80 and up 20 that time had little or nothing
saved Today ne is the worlds richest man in point
OF income Would DE be listed as a failure had he
been unable TO catch just the moment the secret

machines
There lives in the west publisher who at the age
Of IS was many thousands of dollars in debt lie
was not a publisher at that time He had accumu-
lated only debts Fifteen years later finds him a
millionaire and very successful publisher of

Tine trouble with ths definition and this ddactc
uitefanee is ta il takes for granted that the chief
aim OF man is To- be able 10 retire from active bust

u assumes that thc real successful man is the
idle man and that the failure IS who feels the
lash or financial necessity.
T. is the same philosophy which is found i'm the
religion Buddha which selects Nirvana. obliv-
ION as the destination OF the soul
Ii is tine same theory which makes tramps of
men VINO feel no incentive labor long they

The real failure az As is not the who is
able to retire but the man who is willing to retire
The man who has found no purpose strong enough

4 LESSON IN ECONOMICS.

Turn over to page one and read the most illum-
mating lesson in economies that has been printed
for some time.
It is not the deduction of shrewd master Of
finance but the simple story of the Detroit stock
exchange yesterday.
A jokester prints some mysterious letters upon
the board. No one knows what they stand bat
the whisper goes that is good" and

falls, then rises again and falls again.
These brokers thought they making money
POINTED tho S12 as evidence Of real value.
As matter of fact the letters stood for April Fool
Preferred and the whole crew financial experts"
had been trading in a jest, but paying in cash.
Many people have about the same idea of value
had these brokers. They believe that wealth is
cash and they confuse money with real values
At time those letters stood for s12 for every
share. When was discovered that they were
merely letters they were worth nothing at all.
The real wealth of the nation lies in it's products
its corn and wheat and hogs and steel and the mill
lion material things which into modern life.
The real wealta is in the things which are pro-
duced by labor made valuable to through
labor.
Money. such has nothing at all do with it and
printing more money or coming more pieces of gold
will not bring back prosperity world that
burned up large part of its real wealth in years
of destruction by war.
Real prosperity will come when labor again pro-
duces the things necessary for human comfort when
more replaced the houses. the factories,
the farming implements which went to waste during
the months of madness
That is why it is necessary for those who want
help bring back the DAYS TO work just little
harder than before. There no other road back 1t
may be a long road a short one but it will be
measured by the intelligence and the determination

BATTLING SINCE 1870.

Since then there have been hundreds Of wakouts Of
various size and in various mining districts
Among the hundreds OF strikes only five were big
enough to be compared with the present one which
breaks all records for number OF men involved
During the panic of 1898 miners wages were cut
To regain this about 10000 bituminous miners
struck the following year. After disorders and
calling out of militia in four states this strike ended

I'm 1897 there was overproduction of coal An
ucpatng a wage cut in dull market 10000 miners
struck FOR three months. BY then coal was scarce
and wage cuts We're out of the question
The 1897 strike the first major victory Of
the United Mine Workers of America. 1t led in
1895. to hrm establishments of collective bargaining
between the union and operators OF the Central
Competitive District the heart Of the bitu1ninous
industry.
The anthracite strike OF 1900 won a wage increase

be the Homecoming game and the
Quakers are hoping to score a win
over the Ohio river eleven Prepare
tons are being made for great day
Saturday at the Quaker college and a
good game is expected as the Maroon
and White viii meet team of nearer
the same class than she did at Indian
apolis.
With. the exception of Hatfield, full
and Borden, center, the Quakers came
out of the capital city battle in good
shape, although all the men were
bruised and sore as the result Of hav-
ing to hold up against at least three
different line-ups. Hatfield has a
bruised chest which will probably
bother him for some time and Borden
is out with a bad leg. Hatfield may
be in shape to play next Saturday but
Borden will not get into the game un-
less it is absolutely necessary. Coach
Move has reliable men in Shumaker,
Young and Raiford to take the places
of Hatfield and Borden! Both Shumak-
er and Young were in the game at full
against Butler and Raiford went In
for Borden when he was forced out.
Quakers In Shape.
The men are not feeling badly over
their defeat at the hands of Butler
last Saturday. Although they would
have welcomed win they did not ex-
pect to do more than was mplish-
ed: In view of the fact that Butler
beat Illinois 10-7 and Iowa, Big Ten
champions and victor over Harvard.
was held by Illinois to 81 lead and
this won by safety, the Quakers were
fortunate to come out as they did.
Coach Move said. I'VE were outweigh
ed and out-classed in all departments
of the game and nothing else could
have been expected Although not
satisfied with every detail of the game
Coach Move is well pleased with the
playing of tn men last Saturday. The
men are sore and tired at present and
this week workouts will be compare
tvely light, allowing the men to rest
up for Hanover. The fine physical
condition of the Quakers was a feature
of the Butler game. The fact that
many of the men stayed in practically
the entire game against continual sub
situations of fresh men by Page shows
that Coach Move had the men in the
best of condition.
Evenly Matched.
Next Saturday the Quakers will
meet a team which is more nearly in
their class. The strength of Hanover
is unknown here but they are expected
to put up hard game. At the first of
the season Rose Poly walked all over
them. However they came back and
held the strong Franklin bunch to a
tie. Hanover did not play any one last
Saturday so should be in fine shape for
Earlham on Homecoming Day, Oct %.

Marion, Ohio, Commands
Attention In Football

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct 25.-Harding,
as president, has been drawing con-
siderable attention to Marion, Ohio,
his home town, of late. But George
Roberts Pfann, quarterback of the Cor
nell grid team, opines that the town
can stand a little more fame without
losing its several heads. So he is busy
bringing more glory to it.
Gil Dobey, coaching wizard, has vir-
tualIy built Cornell's aerial attack
around Pfann. With the memory of
Charley Barrett's great work still
fresh in their minds Cornell adherents
believe Pfann will at least equal the
great Charley before he ends his days
at the institution. Which won't cause
any hard feelings because Barrett, too,
is an Ohioan.
Pfann's good generalship was one
of the brilliant features in Cornells
hard-earned victory over Colgate.
Pfann handled the team with consum-
mate skill and scored one of Cornelps
two touchdoWns.

SGrazen Narrowly Escapes
Injury In Auto Accident
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-Gene Sara
zen, American open golf champion,
had narrow escape from serious in
jury last night when he made an un-
successful effort to avoid running
down Luke Robinson, an old resident
of White Plains. Sarazen, who was
discharged from the hospital nine days
ago after remarkably quick recovery
from an appendicitis operation, ran
his car onto the sidewalk in trying to
avoid Robinson who was knocked
down and suffered a fractured skull
and several broken ribs. Sarazen was
parolled by Coroner Fitzgerald after
eye witnesses had described the acct
dent as unavoidable. The golfer was
uninjured, although his machine was
damaged slightly.
