MEN WHO FAIL: — An eastern paper features a man of fiftyseven whose appearance is that of one of seventy or more years. Out of work, out of funds, with white hair and beard, large • sunken ejres and bony face, he is said to be contemplating suicide. . Every active, resourceful man knows one or more such delinquents. What has heen the matter with their lives? Indolence, drink anti disease wear out many of them. But there are a multitude of respectable failures all but lost to hope, in their fifties, men whose integrity is undoubted, whose personal conduct is honorable, striving in vain io secure comfort while living decently. What has been the flaw in these? They are found in every community. and include clergymen, lawyers and physicians, clerks who might have been merchants or bankers, and others who started life equipped with health and high hopes of success. Usually these unfortunate men are of sanguine temperament — hopeful, confident and optimistic to the last. But with these admirable qualities has gone either inability to save, lack of logical foresight, ignorance of the value of time and of small habitual savings; or to get to the fundamental cause of failure/inability to apply sound business principles to their personal affairs. Every failure of this kind is a reflection on our eduI S cational system for youth which gives scant attention to saving, accumulation. thrift and wise investment. All might be inculcated to the enormous I benefit of each rising generation. Instead. our public schools turn out <... ■ ;:>• .:t'ter year millions of young people to go their ways dependent on inherited avarics, or handicapped by habits of indulgence, to win or lose as their natural trend directs. How many there are who have , worked, saved, invested and lost, time and time again, until reckless and hopeless and hostile to all successful men and institutions, simply because untaught in the management of their savings. Poor fellows! They are to be pitied rather than condemned for the bitterness of their latter years. We read of $1,000,000,000 a year lost by investment in fraudulent enterprises. These are the men who feed the investment sharks, who fall victims to visions of 100 or 1,000 per cent, profit for their hard-earned savings and come to regard all business as predatory, Wicked and crooked. Is it not worth while to train youth in our schools to thrift and knowledge of honorable business and its rewards, and so decrease the number of failures? Would not practical training in accumulation and investment be better than the frills and flubdubs so universal in the last three years of publ’c schooling? Give a youth the lasting conviction that work, small savings, economy, wise investments that earn from 4 to 6 per cent, and time, are the only safe and sure ways to rise to success, and you save hinr from the extravagance and waste that have wrecked life for the failures of today.—Chicago Journal of Commerce. D. C. Stephenson, his cohorts and his attorneys are proclaiming a great victory because they succeeded in securing an order from the court to

■ ■II ■■ ■ — - — 5 publish the dying statement of Misi Madge Oberholtzer. Most real met 0 would have considered it a greatei d e victory if they could have kept the public from ever getting such a state ment. It tells of the terrible crime committed by the men now under arrest, worse than murder, and it is certainly by no means a vindication of any thing. Stephenson and his partners may squirm out of the net ■ they are in, but we still have too much faith in the men of Indiana to i think they will tolerate such swine i as citizens of the state. There was a good deal of Lincoln . in the late Thomas R. Marshall. His wit. his gift for story-telling, bis homely philospohy, racy of the soil, were all Lincolnesque. So. too, were his simplicity and the quizzical joy he got out of poking fun at strut and pose. Those qualities, based as they were on rugged common sense, a sound ability and a deep knowledge of human nature, made him a distinctive and delightful figure in our national life. —St. Louis Post-Dis-patch. They are talking of establishing a new department at Butler College, the teaching of practical politics, so we may soon hear of Prof Jim Watson. Professor Lew Shanks, Professor Ralston, Professor Tom Taggart, and a few- others. From what we have heard most of these could now go to school at most any university and hear a lot of things about politics they never knew. Who said we needed rain? The showers are coming regularly now and the next danger is that we get so much that the crops are drowned out and cultivation made impossible. Os course there are always things to worry about if we hunt them. The truth is the past week has been wonderful growing weather and all outdoors shows it. - —o
