[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, May 18th, 1007.
The weather is «wtill a little too
cool for the usual crop of brain
storm stories that grow up with
midsummer but some of the ener
getic political ah musts came out
this week with a sensation in the
shape of a yarn that Secretary Cor
telyou was a secret enemy of the
President, that he had been
strengthening himself to make the
race for the Presidential nomina
tion next year, and was quietly
doing all he could to handicap
Secretary Taft in Ohio. This is
about as far fetched a story as could
be imagined. It may be true that
Secretary Cortelyou has president
ial ambitions, who has not? But
he is clever enough not to enter
tain them for liiOS. In fact even
his enemies will admit that Mr.
Cortelyou is too clever to even do
an impolitic thing or attempt the j
impossible. It has been said of
him that he was so smooth he had 1
to wear sandpaper pajamas to keep j
from slipping out of bed. And
that would not be in keeping with 1
trying to wreck the Taft boom or j
start himself in the race of 1908.
As a matter of fact Mr. Cortel- j
you, the President, and Secretary I
Taft are all good friends. Mr. j
Cortelyou is much the youngest'
man of the three, lie came up
from a White House stenographer
to be a cabinet officer, and that is j
doing very weli for a man scarcely
turned forty. It is quite on the
cards that he may try for the nomi- '
nation in 1012 if he is alive and j
Well then, as the;e Seeuis every j
probability he will he. But it can j
be safely said that (he i* not. iuject- 1
ing himself into the Ohio tight at j
this stage of the game.
Senator Fairbanks launched his 1
boom in a modest way at Pliiladel- :
phia this week. It is interesting I
to note that he spoke strongly in
favor of expansion and -the pres- 1
fent commercial policy" which is
another way of saying that the
tariff must not be touched. But
the world does not seem to have
been disturbed in itsorbit very much
as the result of the announcement.
One of the most serious things
in the political line is the report
that desperate efforts are being
made to line up the coming trans-
Mississippi convention in Denver
against the President and all the
western policies of the Administra
tion. It is generally believed there
is something this. But the j
movement is thought to come from !
the big railroads and other eorpor- j
ate interests of the west and not!
from the people. Senator elect j
Guggenheim, a member of the »
Smelter Trust family, is said to be j
one of the prime movers in the af- |
fair. The railroads that have i
been headed off in their efforts to j
grab hundreds of thousand of acres 1
of government coal lands anil thu ■
.lumbef interests that hay been (
balked in the same way \,t timber
grabbing schemes AW.'all said to be
interested. It to the advantage

Manager Falk, decided to give the

i pleased with the showing they made.
While the boys are yet a little nervous,

a little encouragement is what is need-
I ed, and then after a thorough try out,

j to be fair with all, .and if a player
should not be able to keep up his eud

hard feelings towards the management.

Emporium and St. Marys played
their first game in the tri-county j
league yesterday afternoon, at Key
stone park grounds and the latter were !
defeated 0 to 0. The St. Marys team I
were not able to solve Hemphill's de
livery to any advantage and when
they did connect, good fielding by the
home team put a stop to their chances
to score. The hits made by the
St. Marys were mostly of asi -atchy
order. While but two of the runs
m .deby the home team were earned,
loose fielding and errors by the visitors
added to the total. This now gives
Emporium the lead in the race with
the advantage of one game.
The nesct games to be played hero will
take place next Thursday, between
Johnsonburg and the locals, morning
and afternoon, and a liberal patron
age is expected.
The Fourth street Nationals went to
Driftwood yesterday and played a
game of ball with the Drift wood Ath
letics. The score was 14 to 15 in favor
of the Athletics. The boys report a
good time.
Epworth League Convention.
The 15th annual convention of the
Williameport District Epworth League
held in the First M. E. Church of this
place on May 15, 10 and 17, was a great
success. There were about 65 or 70
delegates present and all received some
very good Instructions and were high
ly pleaded with the convention, and all
who attended the meeting from town
received good cheer, and our Local
Chapter was inspired by it and are
pushing on with new vigor. All who

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY. MAY 2'i, 1907.
AT THE 13AH OF PUBLIC OPIN
ION.
"SOW AN ACT AND REAP A HABIT, SOW
A HABIT AND REAP A CHARACTER,
SOW A CHARACTER AND REAP
A DESTINY."
What are you going to sow? To>the
graduating class of 1907 this question
|is addressed. All of your friends are
interested in answer you shall
make.
Doubtless you are a little dazzled by
the fact that you have just won the
first hard earned victory in the school
of acquirement; and your beads are full
of cherished dreams. Can you realize
them? Why not? The ability to grat
ify your ambitions depends 'upon
yourselves. Every person is the arbi
terjof bis own destiny, and whatever
you want may be yours if you have but
the daring, the determination, and the
perseverance to strive for it.
Too many are "disposed to conduct
their lives as if they wore boats with
out oars, floating at the mercy of
chance tides. It is pitiful to see them
drifting towards some pathetic no
where. Baffled and discomfited by
bumping against obstacles, they wabble
around for a while, and thei let them
selves hoplessly shipwreck oh the rock
called failure. On the other hand
there are high-minded souls with
grand aspirations, but without suffi
cient energy of purpose to put forth
the right sort of effort to gain the
coveted prize. It is the brave, per
severing spirit that breaks dov n the
barriers, and grasps success.
Everything depends upon what yon
sow, for the fundamental principle of
nature is progress—a tendency to be
come either better or worse. Traits of
character grow into myriad virtues, or
myriad vices. E.'erygood act is the
precursor of other good acts; a,d
every bad act leads a train of o! ,ier
evil acts. It is these seeds we sow that
make, or mar our futures if we sow
idleness, we reap poverty. If we sow
industry we reap wealth. If we sow
anger we reap hate. If we sow kind-j
ness we reap love. If we sow intern
perance we reap shame. If we sow
honesty we reap respect. If we sow
elfishness we reap neglect. If we sow
consideration we reap friends. If we
sow immorality we reap contempt.
And if we sow noble deeds we reap
honor. There is no escaping the con
sequences of what we sow, for exis
tence is a continual retribution which
marks the different stages of evolution.
Do not sow something that will cause
you to look back with painful regrets
upon the defeat of your better selves.
Those who fall to carry out the instinct
for betterment commit moral suicide,
and become degenerates. Every youth
has the germ of H splendid destiny in
his composition when he starts out on
his unread journey. But impulse is
not enough to enable one to conquer.
"Heaven is not gained by u single bound;
We build the ladder by which we rise.
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies;
And mount to its summit, round by round."
Block by block, you must build the
character that will furnish you with
power to struggle up the path of light.
It is the steadfast, unswerving fidelity
to a purpose that enables one to reach
the goal. The ability to realize honor
or obloquy lies within each of you.
Only weakness, Ignorance, or coward
ice can prevent the fulfillment of your
happy dreams. It is just what you are
and do that will reap your harvest in
the field of achievement. It is just
what you are and accomplish that will
pass judgment On your lives when you
stand at tho bar of public opinion.
