SETBACKS

WHEN Abraham Lincoln was a
w young man he ran for the leg
islature in Illinois and was badly
swamped. He next entered bust
ness, failed, and spent seventeen
years paying the debts of worth
less partner. He was in love with
a beautiful woman to whom he be-
came engaged and then she died.
Later he married a woman who
was a constant burden to him. En-
tering politics again he ran for
congress and was badly defeated.
He tried to get an appointment in
the u. S. Land office and failed.
In 1856 he became a candidate
for the vice-presidency and was
again defeated.
One failure after another, bad
failures, real setbacks. In face of
all of this he eventually became
one of the nations greatest men,
if not the greatest.
When you think of series of
setbacks like that doesn't it make
you feel small to become discour-
aged, just because you think you
are having hard time in life?

THOSE WHO STEAL

COMPLAINT has ben made at
- the Courier Reporter office of
several petty thefts of late. Miss
L. H. Kimpel, who lives two miles
west of town on Riverside Ave-,
was awakened Tuesday evening by
two boys who were picking her
tulips, and another family in town
reports that nearly all their wood
supply was carried off one night
this week. In both cases the identi-
ty of the parties was quite well
established and warnings issued
accordingly.
Such petty thievery, it seems to
US. is dangerous risk for those
who take part and an unpardon-
able annoyance to others. Those
kennewick people who steal wood
and flowers are in the same class
as Kennewick's dog poisoner.
