W. Y. Guerard, former king
kleagle Of the Knights of the
Ku kluxKlan, charged with en-
Eczzlement Of approximately
$4,000 Of funds belonging to the
khan, having served notice on the
prosecution that it would be
necessary to secure certain de.
positions from Atlanta, this re-
moves the case from the range
Of trial at the special term Of
Wake court called for the pres

tinued until December.
The bill of particulars asked
for by the defense and furnished
by Solicitor Norris is devoid Of
the sensation which, it was an,

detailed revelation Of charges
against the klansman. The bill

Failure and Success
From HouIton Times.

Most of the older citizens are pretty well
acquainted with the boy who made such
a wonderful start in life and by the time
he was eighteen everyone was predicting
wonderful things for him. But something
seemed to happen, or rather nothing hap
pened. He slowed down considerably,
He tried for one or two worth while
things and failed. Everyone said, "Oh,
well, that's Just bit of hard luck, he'll
get there the ne xt time" But he didn't
and finally he stopped trying and settled
down to some more or less mediocre posi-
ton.
Then there was the silent young man
who had so little to say, whom everyone
considered quite dull and about whom
they used to say, "Poor Johnl He's so
stupid. His mother will have him on her
hands as long as she lives" But, for
some unknown re ason he seemed to get
good position and, much to every ones
surprise, he kept it. He kept climbing
until be finally acquired the presidency of
the Y. Y. z on the A. b. c. X. r. or
something else commanding a salary of
about seventy five thousand year.
Now Just exactly what hap ened in the
cases of those two boys to make their
careers terminate so differently and so
far from the way people expected. Prob
ably the older people living in the town
had more to do with it than they suspect
ed In the case of the first boy they did
not allow him time to test his own powers
but made him believe he was made for
great things. He soon had so much con-
fidence in himself that he decided he
could live on his reputation and he quit
trying. Some people can and do that but
not until their reputation is fairly well
established.
! In the case of the econd boy he was
either conscious of his own powers and
determined to show the world that he had
them or in his careful plodding way he
stumbled on his ability and began steadi-
ly climbing.
1t is pretty good idea when youngsters
start out, not to PREDICT their future for
they are always more or less certain to be
| influenced by your predictions and you
may be doing lot of harm.

pages rapidly, had gone through 1t by
the time the judge returned, which
was in about FIVE minutes. Then he
answered:
"'Oh, yes; l have read It, And
went on to give a very interesting and
peculiarly thorough criticism of the
work.
"Afterward I told Judge Black that
Garfleld's sole acquaintance with the
book extended over five minutes, and
the judge answered that five minutes
was long enough for Garfield to get
the gist of any book"

The Free Port of Copenhagen.

The Free Port of Copenhagen is just
now being advertised rather extensively
in this country and doubtless the advo-
Gates of the Free Port system for the
United States will rush into print with all
manner of arguments in favor of their pet
scheme But if it be true that Free
Port may be good thing for Copenhagen
and Denmark, it is no sign that it would
be a good thing for this country. Condi-
tions in the two countries are vastly dis
similar.
The area of Denmark is less than one
third that of the state of New York, while
the entire population is only about one
half that of New York City. The capital
and principal city is Copenhagen. Over
one-fifth of the population of Denmark
reside IN Copenhagen. The country con-
sists of the peninsula of Jutand and few
adjacent islands. The land is flat and
there are no mines, so it is not manufsct-
urlng country. Its exports consist chiefly
of agricultural products and its imports
are considerably in excess of its exports.
1t will thus be seen that there is no basis
for comparison with the United States
But, on account of its location. Copen-
hagen is convenient transshipping point
for goods destined to different Baltic
ports 1t has good harbor and immense
sums have been spent in the installation
of machinery and other mechanical de-
vices for the handling of cargoes. For
centuries the Danes have been maritime
people, and it is wholly fitting they should
engage in such trade as they may be BILE
to pick up through the transshlpment OF
goods. Since they have no extensive
manufacturers with which foreign manu-
factures can compete to any extent, If at
all, there is no need for Tariff Protection
on goods of that character Hence Free
Port can do no harm to such commodities,
while what can be picked up in the way
of transportation and commerce is all to
the good
With this country it is entirely different.
There is no call for port OF transshlpment
in this country for the manufactured or
natural products of other countries. On
the other hand we are great manufact-
uring country, but one with high produc-
ton costs. If we establish Free Ports here
we place the goods of foreign nations dl
rectly in competition with our own higher
priced products, and with no benefit to our
selves. Instead of aiding our export trade,
Free Ports would iniure it. Instead OF
aiding exports, Free Ports would be an
added incentive to imports, thing not to
be contemplated. There is no argument
in favor of Free Ports W here there are not
two arguments against them. They VIII
simply aid trade in foreign products and
will injure trade in domestic products.
We want none of them.

But it is not for youth alone that
the Great Parent of creation hath pro-
vided. Happiness is found with the

To novelty, to acuteness of sensation,
to hope, to ardor of pursuit, an equiv
alent for them all-perception of ease.
Herein is the exact difference between
the young and the old. The young are
not happy, but when enjoying pleasure;
and the Old are happy when free from
pain. In the species with which we
are best acquainted-our own-I am
far from thinking that youth is the
happest season; much less the only
happy one.-William Paley.

Df-UGHERTYS SETS LIMIT TO TRADE
ASSOCIATIONS

The Department of Justice last week
drew the line across which trade asso-
Citations may not 60 by methods which
aim to restrict competition and by practi-
ces held to be in restraint of commerce.
Attorney General Daugherty briefly
outlined the following as rule of busi-
ness conduct for the trade groups:
They cannot fix prices.
They cannot divide territory.
They cannot, by contract, limit pr2duc-
ton.
Mr.. Daugherty said recent decisions Of
the courts were clear as to the limitations
that the anti trust laws had imposed upon
trade associations. The.decision, he said,
also made it equally apparent that the
course of the government inits procedure
against the associations, which by com
bination or aggression, had sought TO de-
stray competition had been vindicated.
