MANY WILL <JO BACK.
Some o£ the Americans wlio-fled
from Mexico when tie crisis,
following the Tampico incident
stirred Mexican mobs to hostile
demonstrations, in numerous cities,
have already returned to the mines,
ranches, railroads, .oil fields and
other places of employment which
they abandoned. Many more will
follow them soon if they think
there is a fair prospect for peace
between this country a:ul Mexico.
It is ptrfectly natural that these
men should take such chances.
They cannot justly be blamed as
foolhardy or indifferent to the
risks they create of international
complications. They are drawn to
Mexico by forces which often lead
men to stake their lives on the
outcome of doubtful ventures.
Some see the savings of many
years of hard work in jeopardy.
Others have been driven l'orn their
best and perhaps their only means
of earning a living. Not t few se
ttle comrades of long periods of
toil and occasional peril going on
with their tasks and fetl that they
ought to share the danger braved
by fellow Americans who have ^
never Quit their posts of duty.
As for international complica
tions, Americans who went to
Mexico many years ago, for per
fectly honorable reasons, and did
good work there, could not bo cx
petced to feel that they owe the
United States government
other release from responsibilu
for their safety than they h:ive
been able to give by careful ah-1
steatiou from miseoiid'.vt of an>
kind.
Americans cannot be expected to
relinquish quietly and meekly ail;
they have staked upon t!'e futur ' |
in Mexico. They cannot be askeil
to keep out of a neighboring coun- ,
try, of great oxteut, which needs
theiu and often seeks their talents
and their capital.
MJV DEMOCRACY?
it is probable t'lat President Wil
son, as well as every other man
entrusted with great i.ower, has
often wished that he could be de
livered from his i'rieiids, says the
Cleveland Leader
For instance, there is his great
and good friend, William Jennings
Bryan, who has develop?'! an un
expected propensity for blundering
since ho has been tile bead of the
State Department, not wholly re
vealed even by lib free s'lver prop
aganda. Aud then cam<» Secretary
Daniels with his order abolishing
the wine mess for office's on board
all naval vessels. This order, to
become effective, must be ap
proved by the President.
51 r. Wilson adroitly 3lde-stepped
the equal suffrage issue, when it
was put squarely up to him, by
declining to act 011 the ground that
it had not been passed upon by
the Democratic party. But he
cannot evade the one Secretary
Daniels has raised.
If he fails to endorse the order
he will invite the resignation of
Mr. Daniels and arouse the wrath
of the prohibition element in his
party, which is powerful just now
in tho South, if he dees endorse
Ir there are many who will con
sider that he is tying hi3 party up
to prohibition, which, to say the
least, would be a startling state of
affairs. For, from the time the
liquor question was injected into
poli , the Democratic party has
"liberal." The Republican
party 1 5. 1 >ed more toward reg
ulation and suppression.
The situation is an .'uteresting
Sly for the "practical"
politician^
NO FAILURES
WITHOUT EFFORT
Every One Is a Step to
Success.
INSTINCT AND EXPERIENCE.
Sometimes a Noble Failure Serves tho
World as Faithfully as a Distinguish
ed Success—Lack of Capital and
Patronage—Farmers Frequently Fail.
He Who Makes No Effort Exempt.
[Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan.)
He only is exempt from failure who
makes no effort
In the lexicon of youth, which fate
reserves for u bright manhood, there
la no such word as fail—It comes later
in life.
There are so many reasons which
can logically and truthfully be ad
vanced as causes contributing to the
numerous failures that I will endeavor
to analyze only the principal ones—the
business failures.
Every failure is a step to success;
every detection of what is false di
rects us to what is true; every trial ex
hausts some tempting form of error.
Not ODly so. but scarcely any attempt
is entirely a failure; scarcely any the
ory, the result of steady thought, is
altogether false. No tempting form of
error is without some latent charm
derived from truth.
Failure is, iu a sense, the highway
to accomplishment inasmuch as every
discovery of what is false leads us to
seek earnestly after what Is true, and
every fresh experience points out some
form of error which we shall afterward
carefully avoid.
In this article we have not the space
to treat of individual cases or their
many causes, but will deal altogether
with the commercial side of the ques
tion—the business failures.
Perhaps the most general and com
mon cause Is lack of capital. Many

creed that man should ever stand In
need of mun.
The beautiful must ever rest in the
arms of the sublime. The gentle need
the strong to sustain them, as much as
rock flowers treed rocks to grow on or
the ivy the rugged wall which It em
braces. Patronage is the sustenance of
business, and without it failure follows
just ns surely as death follows the rock
flower and the ivy when their support
is withdrawn.
Farmers Frequently Fail.
Listed among the business men who
frequently fall is the farmer, the
greatest producer of us all. He fall.?
for the same reason us do some ol!
our other business men—because 01!
ignorance. Slany of these men have
been born and reared ns fanners and
imagine that is all the qualllication
necessary to follow that vocation. It
is not. Technical education, constant
study of conditions elsewhere and a
full realization of t*ie necessity of
fertilization of his farm constitute
the first principles of the successful
fanner.
Kew farmers have not been obliged
to avail themselves of the local mer
chant's willingness to extend credit,
and now that the local merchant is
I'aclr ' a graver calamity nud a greater
pest than ever a farmer was obliged
to meet In the retail catalogue bouses'
methods of do ng business would It
not be right and fair for the fanner
and every resident of the community
to rally to the aid of the man who
rallied to their aid In days gone by
with a willingness only equaled by
his confidence in Ids customer and Ws
loyalty to his community?
When a farmer fails the whole coro
muulty sufiers. anil the man who must
bear the brunt of the burden Is the
hh:iI merchant. His capital Is Invest
ed and his hope of return rests with
the farmer's ability to produce. If n
blight, a drought, n cyclone or pest
bugs destroy the crops the merchant
must make the best of It and "carry"
the farmer for another season or until
lie has a good crop.
Loyalty is the greatest virtue that
man is endowed with, and the prac
tice of it now by residents of small
cities and towns in favor of the local
merchant whose business is endanger
ed by the retail dialogue trnsis would
be a display of generosity inanifested
only by men an ! communities where
the practice "f the Golden Rule obtains.
