T. R. DB right to the An Oveddose of Politics Dear Mine Grey: I would like to| say a word or two in regard to the “polities” that are running so wild nowadays. We need leas of them | than we ever did, and I feel we are | | Betting an overdose. | At this time, the people are so! | anxious for reconstruction, and the! war plans to be dropped for the ac: | Uvities of peace. All the sena' ean talk of is Wilson going to | rope. I have been following this | European trip with interest. and 1} feel sure that our president is using the same good, commin sense that he ts capable of using, on this mix jsion.

Thousands of soldiers are re- turning to the good old U. 8. A They must have employment. The big business men are doing their best to keep thing» roiling to avoid disaster which this polluted potion | will surely bring. The people ir general are getting disgusted When Wilson asked for demo- feratic support, saying the “republi | cans claimed to support, but were trying to take his power from him | instead,” I, with thousands of others, ériticised him severely, but | from the way things look from | where I sit, he was right. AN OLD LADY. No Such Thing 'as Failure | Dear Miss Grey: You tell ux some | |have said success is merely a | chance. | We are told that there is no uch thing as a failure. Then all things must certainly be a suceess | from many viewpoints. To a trench | worker, who, by our present mode | | of education ia constantly trying to} | corner & something, #0 as to have only one viewpoint, the illustration appears easy. But to follow Emer son out over the top and look broad: | }ly. we see that vast ocean of har-| mony that makes everything within | |and around ua one great whirl of| | wuccess. No such thing as failure, from any point of view—all things are a success. Just get aboard and| float with them. You can’t miss it} if you try. They who hesitate have to wait for the next vehicle. They may have been very successful by misaing the first convenience, who knows? The record will surely show in the wind-up, weighed by the scale | of harmony, for this God of Nature | sustains nothing more A PROSPECTOR.
