The United States contains only 6

I In 17S2, when the close of the
I revolution made a nation of us, the
j estimated wealth of the whole world
was set at J 100,000,000,000. That
j was after forty centuries of accum
ulated effort.
Iii the 140 years in which the
I'nited States has been a nation, our
wealth alone has reached the stag
gering sum of $::oo,ooo,ooo,ooo.
America with its 6 per cent of the
world s population, uses 50 per cent
of all the print paper i:i the world.
What a tremendous stpry that fact
a'one tells.
In twenty years our p jul:i'i..i has
increased 40 per cent Our factory
volume production has inore than
doubled.
In 1906 there was one automobile
to every eleven persons.
Twenty years ago there was one
telephone to each ninety persons
Today there is one telephone to ev
ery eight persons. We produce and
use approximately b( per cent of the
world's automobile supply.
We produce 54 per cent of the
world's iron and G'J per cent of its
cotton. What doe.; all this mean?
It spells victory in the marts of
the world.
But do these figures spell ultimate
victory in the long run of civiliza
tion? A comporatively small number of
men are in command of these agen
cies of production. A comparatively
small group is responsible for this in
dustrial supremacy. .Without the
brains and ingenuity of this group
such material progress would have
been unthinkable.
And now, if the world is to be ad
ministered for the greatest good of
all, this group must feel its respon
sibility in administration of the
ihings it has created.
This industrial group must regard
itself as the true aristocracy of good
will.

Mr. A. S. Crotfleld came all the

Spanning unruly children is really
the best kind of discipline, some of

Congrcs.-men are complaining over)

it expects more than it gets. That
is why it changes the personnel of
Congress so frequently.

J. W. Hobson & Son
Throughout the ages, sages, poets
and pietists have decried ambition
by which "sin the angels fell" and
rhapsodized over the virtue of con
tentment. It was ambition whit h
caused the fall of Lucii'er, we are
told. The assassination of Caesar,
the banishment of Napoleon, the col
lapse and exile of the Hohenzollerns
and the Hapsburgs, and a thousand
other instances are all examples of
"ambition which overlaps itself."
Ambition has brought countless
woes upon the world and to those
who are imbued with it. for the real
ly ambitious man, as Milton says,
would rather "reign in hell than
serve in heaven," is never happy,
even when he does not actually come
to grief, because the really ambitious
man is never satisfied. There is al
ways a further ambition to the sat
isfied, unless. like Alexander, he
conquers the whole world and then
he weeps because he has no more
worlds to conquer.
And yet within proper limits am
bition is one of the worthiest and
most useful traits of human nature.
Without ambition humanity would
still be in the caveman era. With
out ambition man becomes little more
than the beasts of the field. With
out ambition the world would be
without learning, or luxury or in
telligencewithout even the hope
of a heaven.
The seeming paradox is simply
one of degree. It is the excess of
ambition, not the trait itself, which
leads to sorrow and disaster. A reas
onable ambition which pays due re
gard to the rights of others is as
commendable as the other is to be
condemned. Life holds few joys great
er than the fruition of a laudable
ambition. The dang r always is that
the creditable ambition may o'erlap
itself and become contemptible.
:o:
The French people nave 50,000
million dollars invested in foreign
countries, nc;t counting Russian loans
which have vanished in smoke. Their
income from these sources is 250 mil
lion a y;-r. That's a return of five
per cent, which should enlighten
suckers who think they can get
something for nothing. A French
man's wisdom in investments
amount:; to genius.
:o:
Some forms of wealth are beyond
price. In the liquor collection thai
was left by the late J. P. Morgan
are bottles of Napoleon's brandy and
a cognac made in 1795. Even a pro
hibitionist might be tempted to
sneak a drink from such a treasure.
In our large cities are plenty of gun
men who would commit murder for
one bottle of the 1703 cognac.
It is curious how an idea once im
planted firmly in the heads of hu
manity and a custom derived there
from persists for centuries after con
ditions have changed and the reason
' for them has disappeared.
For many generations June has
1 en considered the appropriate
month for o range blossoms and brid
al veils, yet the unsentimental would
imagine that no season of the year
could be less suitable for a honey
moon than that most disagreeable
one when enervating heat and hu
imidity, nettle rash and mosquitos.
and all sorts of discomforts make
the temper touchy and life more or
less a misery. Under the fiery sun,
illusions evaporate and love with
ers. Doubtless it all started in the long
ago when humanity hibernated more
or less in the winter, and there was
little chance of courting or petting
parties before the family fire. It was
doubtless those days of which the
poet speaks in words so oft and so
tiresomely quoted, "In the spring, a
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love."
But for the very reason that we
have so often heard the couplet, man
kind characteristically considers it
must be true; whereas, the fact is,
::..:e is no period of the year when
a modern young mau's fancy is so
distracted from any thoughts of love
by thoughts of fishing, boating, base
ball, golf and roaming. And if the
young man should go-a-courting in
the spring, like the birds and the
beasts, it is not often that the bride
could have the trousseau ready by
June.
In reality the young man turns
his thoughts to love more often and
mote naturally after the baseball
season and the sports of summer are
over; when the parlor sofa is invit
ing; when hte winter dances begin
and the theatres are in full blast.
The same may be said of his turtle
dove.
Without wishing to discourage
any belated June nuptials already
dated, we say, away with all the
obsolete nonsense. November is the
proper month for lightly turning to
thoughts of love, and midwinter
should be Hymen's own season. Mat
rimony in its trying early stages is
so much more easily endured then
than in the dog days.

From Moml.-.y's lally
Last Saturday evening about 9
o'clock while P. A. McCrary of this
city was returning home from Omaha
he was very badly injured when the
car he was driving was overturned on
the highway north of the Platte
river and caught Mr. McCrary in the
wreck. The car was damaged more
or less as it rolled into the ditch
and Mr. McCrary was pinned in the
car and' suffered an injury to his
back but the full extent of his injury
has not as yet been determined. The
injured man was taken back to Oma
ha by passersby and taken to the
hospital where he was given treat
ment and made as comfortable as
possible in the condition that he was
in from the effects of the wreck. He
was brought on home yesterday and
is recovering slowly from the shock
and effects of the accident and still
is very stiff and sore as the result of
his experience.

in the Wall Street Journal. He finds,
by analysing movie makers books,
that 10 cents is spent for scenarios
