The Vane of Popular Opinion.
Success is not only its own reward, but its own pun
ishment. Failure should bring no penalty other than the
regret and humiliation attaching to abject disappointment
but, on' the other hand, should merit some reward, at least
sympathetic reward in the form of commiseration.
After excuting five loyal patriots who attempted to
aggrandize Greece by military exploit and territorial ex
pansion, the populace, through its revolutionary govern
ment, is now making' ready to prosecute, and no doubt, i
execute the prominent military officers who failed in the
campaign against Turkey. Four generals will, in all
probability,, receive the same public manifestation ol
gratitude which was administered with guns to the mar
tyred civic ministers. ' ' "
How different would have been the popular status of
these Greek leaders if they had been victorious! Had
they extended the national boundaries and magnified
national prestige, the mobs would be feting them and the
very politicans who are condemming them to death would
be crooking the knee to them for largest1 from the public
treasury! 1
No failure is so remorseful as nullified effort oi
crushing defeat in the vigorous advancement of a great
hope or the pursuit of a lofty ideal. When the live ex
pectation is wafted away on the last chance of realization,
annihilation seems to be complete, there seems to be noth
ing more for which to exist und contend. All promise
fades from life.
' Yet,there is reward in defeat. For the ambition that
is the spur to extraordinary endeaver and hazardous sac
rifice, there is no terror in death, no disgrace in condem
nation! and consciousness of duty faithfully performed
makes the highspirited mind impervious to basest ingrat
itude. ' ,; '
jNext t,q being grand in eo.urage, it is noblest to lie sub
lim3 in discouragement .' Failure is a form 'of victory.
Success is only achievement;' failure only lack of achieve
ment. Victory is the quality of soul which rises superior
to every situation of success or failure.
(The vane of popular sentiment shifts with every wind
of intrigue or emotion. It varies with the moods of agita
tion; If i is ever steady, its steadiness is never certain.
It is. simply applause, deserved or .undeserved, or blam,
just;, or ungrateful. Popular sentiment is not worth hav
ing,;as it cannot he kept And is of only fleeing and insignif
ificant value."' " ' - '
Mr. Hard ing on the 12-Hour Day.
Congratulating, in a written statement, the Federated
American Engineering Society on its adverse report on
the twelve-hour day, President Harding struck the key
note of modern industrial policy. His words expressed
the opinion aiuf feeling of all the people.
"The old order," he wrote, "must give way to a better
find wiser form of organization, so that the proper famil
life niMY he eninviwl wiiir.ihl.i l- ..II il,., ,,.., .1.. mm !
perity of every business is the fitness which wholesome
family life assures to workmen of all classes, the common
laborer as well as the skilled lnuch.-mic. And happy family
life is the culture and character of the nation.
An industry or business that much subsist on the
twelve-hour day cannot long remain efficient, as its work
men cannot be efficient. A nation that dees not afford
its citizens ample time in which to think, read rest and
play is sure to retrograde.

ChieaKo News: While the Kcneral
coal strike was in pi-oiens last Bum
mer and the Federal fcovenimt'lit
was vainly seeking to settle it, cer
tain member of congrcsH threaitene-l
seizure of the mines. They gave rea
sons for advocating that extreme
policy.
The strike was settled hy n com
promise and tiie coal industry was
afforded an opportunity ito reorgan
ize itself and solve its problems with
the aid of impartial experts. A
fact-finding commission was created
hy an act of congress, and the opcr
alois profiised to be glad Unit such
a body was to be put to work. There
was a promise made that all books,
records and accounts would be freely
opened to the commission, sinee oth
erwise it could not gain sufficient
iiifi.rnia.ion to justify it m making
icfinite recommendations.
.Mark the sequel. The fact-finding
commission is encountering ditticul
tics which only a few persons fore
saw. Operators have lorgotten their
promises. Not a few of th.'m now
refuse to answer questions or ther-
wn e furnish . facts to the coninus
.lioi. They seem to think that the
nuldic already has forgotten the
strike and has relapsed ii:o apathy.

In making out his income tax re
turn, the farmer is- required to report
as gross incomn all receipts derived
from the sale or exchange of arm j
pfoductj, including crops and live
iitock, whether produced on the furm
or purchased and resold. Where
farm produce is exchangtd for groc
eries, nierchamdisi, or other articles,
the fair market value of the articles
teceived must be reported as income.
A farmer who rents his farm on tht
crop-share basis must report such in
come for the year in which the crops
are sold. Profits derived from the
sale or rental oTf farm lands juust be
reported.
Every person whose gross income!
for 1922 was $5,000 or over must
file a return, regardless of the J
amount of the net income, if a hus-
bamd and .-ofc living together have j
an aggregate ?ross income of $5,000
or more, separate returns or a joint
return may be filed. !
