Of course, It will bo urged that many things worth doing cannot bo done right at tho time. This is nn entirely different matter.

And tho argument falls flat when It Is applied to a man's associations. Ho has no need whatever, of "patchwork" In establishing firmly his social posi tion.

Intelligence and Ideals. Crime In Cyprus. In Cyprus there has been an In crease of cases of murder and man slaughter and the chief Justice has pointed out the traits In the charac ter of the villager which to some ex tent explain the prevalence of this clnBS of crime. Any Insult rankles and their minds seem to brood over any slight, real or Imaginary, however small, until It has nssumed propor tions which for their self-esteem they consider they must revenge by mur der. There are men in some of these vil lages who for a small reward, say $50. will murder a man against whom they have no grievance or wljom they have never seen before. "I have tried many murderers in this island." writes the chief Justice, "and 1 cannot recall one who was sorry for his victim or showed reraorso for hie crime. As a rule a murderer boasts of his crime." JAPANESE WANTS FEW -v- FOOD IS SIMPLE AND PLEASURES . TAKEN FRUGALLY. Low Wages and Long Hours of Labor Seem to Be Accepted as a Matter of Course. In Japan a remarkable feature of the industrial and social life is the great uniformity In the manner of llv Ing among different classes. They nil live in very similar dwellings. The poorer people have four wooden walls, and for furniture a few mats and blankets and a coal pot. In Manchuria Japanese settlers are -beginning to build stone houses with steam heating, but they are bare In side. Nor is this feature confined to the working classes. It Is fouul through all strata of tho population. The food, save In tho verv hlchesi classes. Is in the main very uniform; nee and green tea, with sake as a stimulant. Amoijg those who have not yet adopted European fashions even thp dress Is in substance tho same throughout the middle and tho lower classes. The question of the balance between wages and tho cost of living Is the one that in tho long run makes revolu tions; It has not come Into the open yet In Japan. Wages vary exceeding ly, and no real standard can be given, but they arc, as a rule, very small, through recent years havo witnessed a steady rise. They are given some times by time, sometimes by piece, mosrjy by weird combination' of all possible methods. Uut the weekly budget of the Jap anese worklngman Is very sranll. His rent Is a more bagatello; the same may be said of his food. His only ex tras are a hot bath regularly every other day, twlco a month or bo a fam ily trip to tho theater, a few pence for toys for his children and a few more to propitiate tho deities or bribe the priests. Counting the family at two ndults and three Juveniles, and Includ Ing every necessary and likely outlay, the weekly bill will come to about $3 a week. Hours of labor aro, to western no tions, outrageous, on an avernge elev en a day, but frequently twelve, thir teen or even fourteen. Attempts have been made repeatedly to start trade unions, but nover successfully. Where they have struggled Into wretched ex istence they nre of no account what ever, because they do not as yet an swer to a need of tho people. It Is significant that many of these at tempts were brought to a ruinous end by the dishonesty and corruption of their promoters. , Insurance against old age and In firmity Is unnecessary In Japan as long as the present firmly anchored tradi tion endures which ascribes It as a duty upon each person to contribute to tho maintenance, nf nn nepfl.

Ambition and Hard Work Are Potent Forces Preservation of Health of First Importance, Select a Job and stick to It Shift ers aro nearly always failures. Ambition and hard work pay divi dends. Successful young men make suc cessful old men, so bo successful while you aro young. The employe who takes a personal Interest In his work is entitled to havo his employer tako a personal In terest In him. Kmployers play an Important part In determining tho success or failure of the men who work for them. An occasional word of appreciation will prevent many from becoming shifters. Making a constant study of hla work and trying to do things better every day, aro two fundamental prin ciples of the successful man. Good health Is almost as Important as courtesy and honesty. It Is hard to be courteous If one isn't in good physical condition. Success cannot be attained by fol lowing any ono rule. My recipe.

The millennium of Industrialism has not Rrrlved, but that a better understanding exists between the two co-workers the employer and the employe Is evident There Is an Improved education on the part of both, and which Is significant and extremely promising for the fu ture, the general public has about de cided that antagonism between those who work and those who employ them Is an economic error which must be corrected if the nation would maintain its Industrial prestige. Business. LITTLE NUGGETS OF WISDOM Compiled for the Benefit of the Work, er Who Has Aspirations and Willingness. Obstacles, properly handled, become opportunities. To make a pleasure of your busi ness Is to succeed In It. Purpose plus enthusiasm usually fig ures out success achieved. The hard worker Is the only fel low who really appreciates a vacation'. In the world of business, as In golf, success depends moro on accuracy thnn mere power. The man who saves time stands a lot better chance of becoming rich than ho who saves only money. Some young men (and old ones, too!) to earn money, will work vllke horses and spend it like asses. No man can .do better than fall who -egards his fellows as merely so many opportunities to be taken advantage of. In the long run It's better business to be deceived by some one, now and then, rather than to distrust every body nil tho time. The average employe measures him self by the standard of his aspirations; his employer uses the foot-rulo of per formance. Hemember, it's quite possible to plan for a "near-at-ha'nd-future," with out losing yourself in Jhe clouds of a vaguo mlllenlum. As you placo responslbllles upon your (subordinates, they'll divide them selves into two classos: those that grow and those that merely swell. Warwick James Price in The Sunday Magazine.

MAY . BREAK 1908 RECORD Progressive Policies Accepted as Surest Avenue of Return of Busi ness Prosperity Where His Strength Lies In Campaign. President William II. Taft is on a fair road to renomlnatlon ns tho Re publican standard-bearen In tho cam paign of 1912. With approximately 100 delegates to the Chicago conven tion already Instructed for him tho president is more than likely to break his record of J 908 when he was nomi nated with 702 votes on tho first bal lot In tho Chicago convention of that year. Thero is no longer any ques tion that he will bo renominated and the only question now puzzling the managers of tho Taft campaign Is the completeness of his victory. Coupled with the assurance of his renomlnatlon is tho growing senti ment in tho big Republican states, both east and west, that President Taft is the only Republican candidate who cen possibly bo elected this fall. It will be recalled readily enough that when Mr. Taft took office three years ago March 4th last, the great Issues of tariff revision and reform on a pro tective bais, and of monetary reform and tho great legal problem involved In the exact meaning of tho Sherman anti-trust statute, wero sqijarely beforo tho country. In tho latter lssuo the Supreme court had not made Its fa mous ruling in tho Standard Oil and Tobacco cases which were to outline, for the first time since tho law was passed by congress, Its exact mean ing. On each of these three great Is sues It has been necessary for Presi dent Taft to consider and frame a definite policy, and It Is his decision as to these great questions that has convinced the business men, the labor ing men and tho farmers of tho coun try that another term .In tho White House for William H. Taft is nil that Is necessary to restore tho country to that basis of unparalleled prosperity which characterized tho administra tion of William McKinloy. It Is this sentiment which not only assures tho renomlnatlon of Mr. Taft at Chicago but also his re-election In November. So many bewildering sldo Issues havo becomo Involved In the present campaign for delegates to tho Chicago convention that the facts above stated havo been overlooked in certain com munities. Even tho progressive nchlovements of tho Taft administra tion have been forgotten In tho ex citement occasloued by the Introduc tion of new political doctrines, prnc tlcally none of which, except the pro posal to recall federal judgen, can bo dealt with by the national government, but must be decided by each state for itself. The demand for a presidential preference primary In each state, wholly a stato matter in which oven tho president himself has no right to Interfere, has been magnified Into a national Issue, notwithstanding the fact that thero is and can bo uo na tional law on the subject, and only a few states aro prepared to throw tho protection of the law around nny such primary, and In face of tho fact that ono-teiith of the delegnloa to the Chi cago convention aro already chosen and hundreds of delegates elected to stato nnd district conventions. It has; been estimated that to clothe such a primary with legal authority, as pro vided by tho rules of the party, It would cost the tax-payers of this conn try not less than $5,000,000 Immedi ately. Tho hysteria occasioned by these conditions Is now passing away and 'tho foremost fact staring the voters In tho faco aro tho progressive and defi nite policies of President Taft and tho certainty of an Immediate Improve ment in business conditions all over the country following his ronominntlon nnd re-election. Thla fact Ib of vital Interest to all classes of citizens, espe cially when thoy aro confronted with tho alternative of a chance In admin 1 istration, n chnngo in policies nnd a continuation of business depression and goneral unrest. In estimating tho probabilities of President Taffs renomlnatlon and re election, It Is necessary to recur only to recent history. Tho president car ried every northern state In 1908. Be tween tho election of that year and 1910 occurred tho tariff legislation known ns tho Payne tariff law. It Is a well known maxim of politics that that party which revises the tariff Is defeated at tho next election and tho only exception to the rule In recent years was tho passage of tho Dlngley law, which was followed so closely by the outbreak of tho Spanish-American war as to bury tho tariff issue In a wave of patriotic enthusiasm. The moro recent bye-elections In the big Republican states east of the Missis sippi river, notably In New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, have shown a return of Republicans to the fold and a restoration of tho old-tlmo Re publican majorities,, which Justifies tho prediction that they will be safely In tho Taft column In November. That they will so unanimously support any other Republican candidate, particular ly if the third term issue is Injected in to the fight, Is denied by the best in formed leaders in those states. As to tho nomination thero Is no longer tho least doubt that President Taft will have a majority of tho dele gates both from tho north and the south. New England will be practical ly, If not entiroly, solid for him. lie will havo sweeping victories in New York, Pennsylvania and tho other middle Atlantic states. Ohio has never yet failed to support a favorite-son candidate for president. Indiana, Illi nois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kan sas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Okla homa of tho middle western states will all havo their quota of Taft delegates in the convention, four of them having already Instructed delegates In some districts for the president. The southern states will bo almost unani mous In their support of the president, while In Utah, Montana, Idaho, Colora do, Wyoming, Arizona and the Pacific coast states thero Is every assurance of solid Taft delegations. Present In dications point only to a scattering op position to President Taft's renomlna tlon.

Taft the Progressive. Progressive versus radical, progres sive versus reactionary this is tho viewpoint presented of tho candidacy, respectively, of President Tatt nnd Colonel Roosevelt in tho nddresa of Socrotary of War Stlmson beforo tho Taft Club or Illinois. Mr. Sttnmon de clared ho was for Taft becauso Tatt had carried out tho progressive poli cies of the Republican party. Sound reason this! It la Incontrovertible as woll. Tho secretary of war acknowl edges that ho entered public life un der the lnlluenco of Theodoro Roose velt, and remains his slncero friend; but this does not avail to separate him from loyalty and faith in Tatt as tho true Republican constructionist. In this nttitudo Mr. Stlmson has tho company of many other eminent Re publican friends of tho former presi dent who would not support for a mo ment his ultra-declarations.

WHAT THEODORE ROOSEVELT SAID. "On tho fourth of March next I shall havo served threo and a halt years, and this three and a half years consti tute my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not tho form, and UNDER NO CIRCUM STANCES WIIJj I RE A CANDIDATE FOR OR ACCEPT ANOTHER NOMI NATION." Theodoro Roosevelt, Nov. S, 1904. "I HAVE NOT CHANGED AND SHALL NOT CHANGE THAT DE CISION THUS ANNOUNCED." Theo doro Roosevelt, Doc. 11, 1907. "I WILL, ACCEPT THE NOMINA TION FOR PRESIDENT IF IT IS TENDERED TO ME, and I will adhoro to this decision until tho convention has expressed Us preference." Theo dore Roosevelt, Feb. 21, 1912. Taft for Peace.j It was only by tho exercise of rare discretion nud tact that war waa averted with Mexico nearly a year ago. Had President Taft yielded to tho di mauds of some of tho "Jingoes" of tho country tho United States might easily hnvo been plunged Into a conflict with its neighbor over fancied wrongs. Without permitting the rights ot American citizens to suffer in nny re spect, Mr. Taft handled a ticklish diplomatic situation with such good Judgment that troublo was avorted nnd tho friendly relations with Moxlco were undisturbed. Taft's Anti-Trust Record. In the real prosecution of tho trusts tho administration of President Taft has established n record that la far beyond thnt of auy of his predecessors. Dig combinations have been brought to the bar of federal Justlco, their pro moters hnvo boon fined for disobey ing tho Sherninn anti-trust law, and tho controlling corporations havo been disintegrated. The record of the Taft administration stands uuequaled In Its curbing of Illegal combination and monopolies.
