CONCERNING SUCCESS
In 1898 the United States freed Cuba from the
rule of Spam. Today, when we are at war witn
Germany Cuba comes right to the front with an
offer of her entire army of 25,000 officers and men,
to be employed in any manner this 'government
may desire. There is gratitude for you, and our
hat is off. - V

The farmers are complaining about the cost of
clothing and other city and town products, and
town people are complammg about the cost of
spuds and other farm products. Whatth 'heirs'
thematter, anyway?
o
In the excitement of the moment, don't forget
that the preacher will have a few words of cheer
for you on Sunday. . It costs nothing and is worth
much a "spiritual bargain," as it were.

We are all familiar wh the trite quotation,
"Nothing succeeds ike success." It meets us oh
all sides. It is the ne plus ultra of argument as
to efficiency, arid is a literal illustration of the
truth of the Master's assertion that "unto -him
that hath, shall be given" except that it doesnt
always exactly fulfill the Master's conception of
the thought. . .

and m too many instances awake to the tact
that we have dropped pur candy.
It fs true that "nothing, succeeds like success,"
but not in the sense in which we mostly accept it.
Nothing so well succeeds in blinding us to the real
defects of human character as a little success in
a particular line. Who has not seen the disast
rous failure of many men who have been success
ful in the lines with which they were familiar,
when they have undertaken work for which they
had neither aptitude, knowledge nor training?
It is discouraging indeed to the citizen possess
ed of real civic pride to see the destines of his
comunity committed to men who have nothing ;
better to recommend them than the fact that they
have accumulated money and property. This
success, instead of being a recommendation, is
too often a fatal barrier to their usefulness, in
that it shows self interest to be their ruling pas
sion. Many of earth's greatest benefactors have been
men who never accumulated much wealth. In
many instances the reverse be true they have
spent and been spent n the service of humanitv.
We are most forcibly reminded of the truth of
this assertion ofT reading of the death of Coun c

of the human race by developing air navigation.
His Time, his energy, and the bulk of his vast
fortune went into experiments until at his death
he was what one might term a "successful fail

terests, but he had conferred on humanity a boon
which, in the arts of peace, time alone can esti
mate, for the day will come when rapid transit in
the air will be as common as the railroads today.
In our municipal affairs let us lose the idea that
the man who is successful with his own affairs
will be thesame with the affairs of the people.
