' r.eea on the streets and should See that : the offenders are punished severely , enough to teach them that such acts ' will not be tolerated in this «4>mmuinity. — J. Pierpont Morgan. America's greatest financie., la today on the witnuess stand before the house committee investigating the money trust. He trav- ; sded from New York to the capital in a richly equipped special train and accompanied by the best lawyers that money can hire. He and his party took rooms ax a Wishing'on hotel i without registerLiu.’ and ait callers were den.ed. It may be all right, but I there is that mysterious something' | that smells of graft connected with j tall these affairs and this is the port most distasteful to the general public. According to the report of the Indiana Content ial commission, owners of real estate in the capital city, where it was proposed to build a public build,ng in celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the state, have boosted the prices to a place that looks like highway roabery. To the average taxpayer this will be most pleasing, for none of them will shed many tears if this unnec ' essary expenditure is overlooked in some way or other. Sentiment is all right, but when it costs a couple of million dollars a fellow often changes his mind. TH— Opportunity is a Something—not a nothing; also something Real —not a jpLaauom. And, too, Op;onuu:ty is an i Ever-present—here today and here to-} ' morrow. By moments, hours, days, I 'weeks, meethe — -'-i novel's about, unseen and unheard —except as [her Spu.t is felt and—seized' Then jit is that tiue man moves—catches her mean.ng—and feeling courageously, grasps at her call and her message and moulds it into deeds Opportajnity is the hand of progress to the ' alert, and the "handwriting on the ■ wail" of failure, to the groggy and the slothful. For of all messengers of I light, she—Opportunity—is the one , i most patient, most fair, most just and most considerate. Opportunity is no ' respecter of persons or of seasons. She is ever on the job and she ever , waits and waits. The man may fall forever asleep—but Opportunity—never. At this actual minute she stands before YOU. All through the live-long day she will be at your call. Lightning-like she flashes her messages to all—but her sole appeal is to THE MAN—to you. \kink I How about it* "Stop, look, listen"—can you see, hear, feel, grip her hand? Make the most of what she holds this day tor you. Think —think, think! Then ACT.—Adams. >
