Not Possible to Deny Luck

Ut liz well known that as nothing
succeeds like success, so nothing
fails like failure" said Mr.. Cate
Ninetails; land 1t seems highly prob
able that both ability and circum
stances have a strong effect on either
result. Ernest r. Henderson, In hi!

that Napoleon, speaking Of Genera
Mack, who surrendered the Austrian
army October IL, 1905, said: He IL
certainly one Of the most incapable
men In existence; and moreover he
has bad luck ...5., .,1.
Napoleon himself was, of course
capable-and had good luck. That
Is, such conditions prevailed fol
about twenty years. Then they
changed. 1t might have been from
a loss Of capability or a failure OF
good luck-or both. At any rate, he
took no further part In the success

have been other men who were ca.
pable and lucky, which qualities
form an irresistible combination.
There have been men who were ca.
pable, and men who were lucky
Neither kind got quite so far.
.As such an irresistible combina

two are such complementary attri.

determine which Is dominant.
'There are those, of course, who
say that there is no such thing as
luck-that is, chance good fortune

does others-such as General Mack.
It is our own feeling that when II
favors us we are capable, and when
II does not we are unlucky. This
satisfies our self-esteem, and does no
particular harm, but 1t can hardly
be regarded as disinterested anal
ysis. Undoubtedly a great many
of our misfortunes that are blamed
on chance are the effect of bungling,
and much of our good fortune
that Is credited to capability is quite
as undoubtedly the result of luck.
perhaps 1t is just as well. If we
could not pat ourselves on the back
without dislocating an arm. life could
be a sorry affair. We feel fine
glow of generosity when we pat 9th

think that they may be worthy of it,
but 1t Is not nearly so satisfying as
when we pat ourselves on the back.

that the commentator is deserved.

SILVER is KING

Arizona and the entire west,
the west Of the mines, await with
keenest interest the develop
ments ia connection with con-
gress' action in authorizing free
coinage of silver, At the discre.
ton Of President Roosevelt.
The vote was distinct victory
for the advocates of free silver,
who, for 80 years had fought a.
never tagging battle for their
ideal
Now that free silver is assur.
ed, westerners-the silver ad.
vocates waiting before they
become too jubilant over the
victory.
The price Of silver has an i'm
portant bearing on the situation
anc it Is in this particular that
the mining man are awaiting de-
velopments.
The President is authorized to
accept payments of war bebts,
within certain limitations, in
silver, at a price expected to be
50 cents an ounce.
For those mines in which
silver is by product of copper
and other ores. this price is suf.
ficient to make mining pro6tab BILE.
but experts say 50 cents will not
pay digging in the ground for
silver.
The price wanted by these
cautious ones is 90 to 70 cents per
ounce and the miners, with undy
ing hope are waiting for a pos.
sible announcement OF a higher
price on the metal.
Should the price be set at GO
or 70 cents per ounce, it is pre-.
dicted the west will see the
greatest revival in mining activ.
tiles in the history of the coun.
try.
For the present, silver is king,
while its hackers wait for fur
ther news from Washington,
hoping that it will be news that
will start all mining machinery
turning over once more.
Arizonans bold to the claim
that only the complete remone.
tization of silver will effect what
the silverites have been battling
for, for more than half century.
The situation is fraught with
interest and great possibilities
but. whatever the price, the
coinage of silver is bound to re.
dound to the benefit of the min.
