Waste No Time Discussing The
Errors of Those Who Succeed.
However you may liavo striven of Mint endowment nnd work along
for success and failed to achieve patiently toward your aim noth-
lt and howovor worthy of
bettor
fortune you behove yoursolf do
not wasto your remaining vitality
in bitter meditations on tho in-
justice of fato in bestowing its
favors upon tho less doserving.
No one ever climbed to Buccess
by denunciation of thoso abovo
thorn.
An ambitious young actress
who had never obtained anything
better than a maid's pnrt in a
play despito her possession of
beauty voice and dramatic quali-
ties of personality sat and dis-
cussed tho stupidity of tho public
and the degeneracy of good tnsto
nB exhibited in the vogue of cer-
tain theatrical favorites of tho
day.
After she had hauled most of
tho theatrical stars from their
firmament of glory and shown
that thoir glitter waB only made
of tinsel I begged her to desist.
"You will novor become a moon
or o flun" T paid "by giving your
vitality to such thoughts as these.
"Let tho public applaud whom
and when it will I Lot the cal-
cium light fall where it may.;
there is some causo for it all ; con-
serve your forceB for attracting
the success you believe you merit.
Every bitter resentful impulso
indulged in is a ston away from
your goal.
"Do not talk about your desire
to lift tho ideals of tho public to
a higher standard than acrimon-
ious criticism. CeaBO to concern
yourself with tho poor acting of
others and concentrate upon tho
determination to act well your
own part and to find your right-
ful pluce upon tho stage.
"Make yoursolf ovor montally
beforo you attempt to make over
publio tnsto."
Tho same counsel applies to nil
aspirants in any Hue of art or
indeed in any vocation in life.
Waste no breath or brain powor
upon the demerits of the success-
ful. What is worthloBB will not long
endure.
Whatever is masquerading in
false celors will in timo betray
itself in its own hue.
- The pretonder in the court of
art will bo exposed by Dotectivo
Timo. Only real things Inst.
Clnsp this truth closo to your
honrt and bo real yoursolf.
Obsorvo the fictitious only to
avoid itB mothods.
Do not oxhaust yourself run-
ning about and crying to tho world
that what it applauds is not real.
Save your strength for showing
thorn Bomothing better to applaud.
Coaso comparing yoursolt oven
mentally to othors for tho pur-
poso of their disparngomont.
If you liavo real talent or real
powor in any lino and if you
build up your nature to bo worthy
hin-
lnc and no one on onrtn can
dor you from reaching it.
ThiB is the work given you to
do not tho pulling down ot oth-
ers who seotn in your estimation
to have boon exalted undeservedly.
Attend to your own life bo
worthy of success and you will
not need to argue or compare in
order to convince people of your
worthiness.
Made Drummers Wnlk.
Culcmun Democrat.
An interesting suit was on trial
in district court at Brownwood
last week. It was tho case of
three drummers II. L. Dyer J.
L. LowiB and E. B. Thompson vs.
the Santa Fo Tho drummors
were in Santa Anna December 7
1001 and whon they went to the
depot to tako the train for Brown-
wood it is claimed that no one
was at tho station to sell them
tickets and the conductor charged
them four cents per milo to
Banijs and ordered thorn to buy
tickets at Bangs for the remain-
der of tho journey. The gontlo-
mon didn't feel disposed to bother
themselves any further as they
considered it tho railroad's fault!
in not having a ticket agent at
the placo where tho train wasi
boarded. When one mile beyond
Bangs tho conductor stopped tho
train and had an ofiicor put tho
men off.the train. They walked
back to Bangs secured a buggy
nnd camo to Brownwood and en-
tered Bint. Tho jury after being
out nearly all day Thursday failed
to agree and wore discharged by
the judge that evening.
John Stuart Mill once claimed
that it would be well to question
an axiom so that the truth con-
tained in it might bo tho more
clearly Reen. It would seem like
arraigning an axiom in the educa-
tional world to call in question
the value of a broad liberal
school systom to the people of the
United States. Yet it lias been
done in the past few yenrs and is
still being done Richard Grant
White fiercely attacked the pub-
lic schools lesB than a quarter of
a century ago in an article in tho
Popular Science Monthly. Five
years ago Rebecca Harding Davis
took up tho same slrnin in a con-
tribution to tho North American
Review. At the lust mooting of
tho National Prison Congress
held in Louisville. Kv. substan-
tially tho same arguments used by
those writors were employed by
Home of the delegates to show
that the common eclioolB wore tho
cause of tho alleged increnso of
crime.
Mr. White contends that ignor-
ance has no rotation with vice
but that it is the mother of super-
stition. If ignorance is the
mother of vice and tho public
school is tho efficient foo of ignor-

Now if these figures show any-
thing at all thoy reveal tho fact
that the higher the education tho
less in porportion is tho number
of inmatos. Wo may justly rea-
son therefore that the common-
pchool education received was of
the lowest glade barely lifting
its recipients above the category
of illiterates; and this is tho
truth in the ease.
In harmony with this deduction
Tho nunibor of inmates who
had attended tho public schools at
some period of their lives varied
from 75 to 03 por cont. Tho

ized institutions in the Middlo or

President Roosevelt tins Made Sug-
gestion of Pence Conference
to J n pmi and Russia.
President Roosovolt has suc-
Rostod to both Russia and Japan
that they outer into poaco nego-
tiations. Tho Amoricau president
haB an advantago not posscBBed
by any of tho othor powers of tho
world in that this country is uot
ontangled in tho Eastern question
in any manner. Germany and
Italy have some inlluenco butoach
of them aro more or loss interest-
ed. America as a purely disin-
terested party is thus in a position
to do more as a pence maker than
any other nation. President
Koosevelt did not attempt to med-
iate but merely argued in favor of
a conclusion of the wur and tho
benefits of such u. both of tho
belligerents as well as to tho
world.
Tho suggestion made in this
manner seems to have carried
much weight as news conies from
Tokio that tho Japanoso govern-
ment has already nominated its
peace plenipotentiaries and from
St. Petersburg that IlusBia is will-
ing to moot Japuti half way. Tho
preliminaries will probably bo
arranged at Washington.

mice the condition of things
should bo much bettor among us.
lint ho claims there has been u
steady deterioration in ull direc-
tions. Our laruo towns swarm with
idle vicious lads and young men
without visible
port. Uur rural districts aro m-
festod with tramps a species of
the genuB homo unknown to our
forefuthorB. Our legislatures aro
currupt; our groot corporations
buy them up at will. Tho dom-
inant political parties are guilty
of bnbory at eloctions. Tho
judges on the bench liavo notably
doclined in learning wisdom and
integrity. Dishonesty in busi-
ness and betrayal ot trust aro
matters of common shonio. Poli-
tics has boon largely handed ovor
to inferior men of lovo of cun-
ning. Divorces liavo fearfully
multiplied. Filial respect has
diminished; our young men and
young women liavo lost their
modoBty and ceased to blush for
tho loss.
Crimo and vice have increusod
year after yonr corresponding al-
most oxactly to tho dovolopmont
of tho common school systom. It
has givon us also a noudoscript
and hybrid cIobb unfittod for pro-
fessional or morcantilo life un-
willing and also unablo to bo
are tho interesting facts brought
to light in tho twenty-six yoars of j
tho Elmira Reformatory's exist-1
once. During that time 112901
inmates wore received. Of this
number 180S or over 10 per cent I
wore without any education or
means of sup-1 wore thorough illiterates; 51115
or ovor -li por cont could read or
write with difficulty; 15019 or
about 112 per cont had an ordin-
ary common-school education
and '171 or 4 por cont had a high
school or more advanced training.
Lot it bo reniombored that tho
ordinary common-school educa-
tion means as Doctor William T.
Harris shows in hie reports an
attendance of about fivo yours m
the schools'. It also means an
avorago attainment of tho third
or fourth grado only.
Tho Illinois State Reformatory
tho second largest in tho country
has had a life of twolvo years.
More than 5000 boys liavo been
on its rolls during this poriod
Tho por cent of thorough illiter-
ates is lower than that givon in
tho Elmirn statistics. Tho por
cont who has attondod tho public
schools was much largor. In El-
mira it was J12 por cont in tho
Illinois State Reformatory about
SO por cont. But vory fow of
those inmates had gone beyond
tho third grado. Tho number who

"Probably none." "None"
"Ninety per cent wore truants"
"All wore enrolled and could not
have evaded tho truant law more
than a few days at a timo." The
agos ranged from 10 to U0.
When statistics are carefully
Htitdied tho conclusion must bo
inevitably reached that education
does not foBter crime and that
the common schools aro tho nur-
sorios of tho fundamental virtuos
of regularity punctuality silonco
order attention solf-relianco re-
gard for tho rights of othors
obedience and tho liko.

Japan to an understanding. While
tho British did not tako any part
in tho negotiations thoy aro giv-
ing the most cordial support to
tho president of whoso actions in
tho mattor they have been kopt
fully informed. Diplomatic and
official circles speak in tho high-
est torniB of the diplomatic man-
ner in which tho president has
handled tho matter and fully ac-
cord to him what thoy considered
to bo the only way in which tho
difficulty could bo overcome Tho
United States not being ontangled
in any way was really tho only
country which could tako action
but even President RooBevelt
could not do more thun endeavor
to start direct negotiations be-
tween tho belligerents Japan it
can be stated refused to start
negotiations until fully assured
of tho earnestness of Russia and
that Japan's proposals would he
soriously considered. Her de-
mands include an indemnity tho
amount of which has been fixed
by tho Japaneso government and
on this point tho president is
urging lenient treatment.
It is considered hero that Japan
is ontitled to an indemnity and it
is pointed out that whilo tho pay-
mont of an indemnity might af-
fect tho standing of Russia among
tho powors it is not so sorious as
tho Iobs of torritory. Bosidos tho
payment of indomnity will bo
