B At g mry UP TO THE PRESIDENT. Inasmuch as it has been impossible for the heads of the brotherhoods and government at the present. time, «fac- h‘nndmsmeofthemln‘ every POWR- that he possesses to pre- vent what are bound to be disastrous results. The Tast congress failed to give the president the power that would have covered just such a situation, and the Present. conditions. make it evident that the next session will give greater consideration to such a matter. RUSSIA’S REVOLUTION. Russia has at last experinced what has several times been tened, ind from what promises to e the out- come, it would have been an excellent thing for that country if the revolu- tion had taken place when first indi- cated. With the sovernment failing to give the proper atténtion to the food supplies, the ezar having deter- mined to put an end to the duma and the effects of the German Influence fully understood and opposed by the masses, the conditions werg rive for just such an overthrow of the govern- ment as took place. The apparent act. of disloyalty en the part of the -sol- diers was in reality a patriotic move. It was a move for the safeguarding of the government and the placing of it in the hands of those in whom they have faith, instead of further contrib- uting to the. on “0f’those whe have been negligent of the coun- try’s interests if not motually playing into the hands of the genemy. -Russia has gone tlrough many. per- iods of uncertainty. It has even been claimed. that there were those in high places who were not above advocating a separate peace, if not actually en- deavoring to put yc‘h a thing through, and the revolutiow furnishes .fm E sons for believing that this rtain- ty has now been eliminated. Those who have taken over thé government are for a persistent and more aeter- mified prosecution of the war. They are not for peace and they unques- tionably represent the feeling of ‘the country. It is apparent therefore that what has stood in the way of such a policy has now been removad, greater unity established and henceforth Rus- eia as a constitutional momarchy will sive a different account of itself. Tt has once and for all shaken off the fetters which have beenm ready to be- tray it. . 7 THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

THE DICTAGRAPH. — e Sunday Morning Talk THE COST OF SUCCESS. X ‘The epitaph on the tombstone of the merchant who was “Born a man and died a grocer” hints at the price some | fe pedple pay - fof ‘what they call sue® cess. How often the supreme busi- ness of making a life is swamped by the lesser business of making a liv- ing! How often an occupation p ove: a prison house for manhood, It ing and eramping the free develop- ment of the soul! The-word success with most people.| has come to have a carefully special- ized “meaning. It is spelled S$uccess. That rendering, -to- be - sure, may not be a wholly faise one, since thrift is a virtue not to be despised. Accumula- tion of weailth, even, may be a. com- mendable aim, if entered upon hon- estly. As the world is organized, suc- cess In any line generally means some measure of financial reward. 2 paying | The eonsuming struggle for money, however, is sinful- and, what is a blacker indictment, in the opinion -of some, - extremel foolish.

Z profited nothing . who may whole: world, but forfeits his he process. It is_better mot ceed if orie cannot do so with- out losing the essential values. As the lamented George Fitch remarked: “Many a man is a business failure and has to rub along on $75 a month be- cause he has spent all the rest of his fortune buying a reputation that ¢an go on his tombstone without making anyone wink and grin.” Success under modern conditions lies in doing one thing well who arrive must give themselves e unsparing devotion to a single line of effort. It may. easily happen that other things in life quite as important are thereby neglected. Success in one sphere may leave one in mature age bankrupt of other Jjoys well worth while. . The oft-quoted confession of Darwin is applicable to thousands of less famous people. “Up to the age of 30" he says, “oF beyond it, poetry of many kinds such as the Workl of Milton, Gray, Byron, "‘Wordswort! gave me great pleasure, Praises This Perfect Laxatzve ‘There is no) Mobawk his | delight in~ Shak s me grew . before s .

I retain ‘some taste for fine scenery, but it does not cause me the emulllte de- light which it formerly did. My min seems to have become a kkl of ma- chine for grinding general xfia.‘ out of large collections of facts. to live my life again, I would hlvn made a rule to read some poctry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain ,now atrophied would thus bave been kept active through use. The loss of these tastes is a loss of happiness and may possibly be. injur- ious to the intellect and more prob- ably to the moral character, by en- ling the emotional part of our na- 'rh-y pay a high price for success who, to win it, blight any of the finer powers of the soul. No one was quicker to recognize the fact than Mr. Darwin himself. If the experience of the great thinker is in any eense dup- licated in our own, the remedy he proposes is avallable for ue aiso. It is a fafllacy to assume that the goal of life is to make money, or to gain office, or to win popularity. /The mistake is sending half the racé on fools' errands. The truth was hinted at by Abraham Lincoln when he said: “I am nbt bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the Hlght that I have” It js, after al.. the inner victory that crowns men.
