The plan of a highway commis

measures recently drafted provi

The L e a d e r is of the opiniou
that the “ one man power” which
accomplishes something for the
benefit o f the state is not much to

THE
CHINESE
REVOLUTION
With the abdication of the Mati-
chus there seems to be little reason
why the powers of the earth should
ot recognize the new government
of China.
This country naturally in sym
pathy with the struggles of all
peoples for liberty, will doubtless
be among the first, and it should
be the first, to extend the hand of
fellowship to the people across the
Pacific in whom we have always
felt a deep interest. That we were
compelled to keep out coolie labor
ers has long ceased to be taken as
any indication that we did not feel
friendly to the Chinese as a people.
Now that they have shown them
selves to be desirous o f a free, rep
resentative government, the Amer
ican nation will show appreciation
o f their aspirations and encourage
their ambitions.
NEWSPAPERS SHOW
DECREASE IN NUMBER
Newspaper census figures for
1911, compiled by the American
Newspaper Annual and Directory,
just published here, indicate the
multiplication of daily papers iu
the United States has come to a
halt. A year ago the number was
2472; the 1912 Annual lists 1.1 less,
showing that the trend is now in
the downward direction. Accord
ing to this authority, greater mor
tality than birth rate is explained
by suspension or consolidation of
newspapers in crowded and unpro
ductive fields. New England has
lost four dailies, New York four
Middle West states nine, and the
Western states have thirteen less
than a year ago. Gains have been
heaviest in the Southern states,
while the Middle Atlantic section
has an increase o f three.
W eekly and semi-weekly news
papers also seem to have reached
their limit in numbers. The 1912
Annual names and describes 16-

No school teacher, priest or sher
iff can make a real man o f you
without your consent. What these
people can aud will do for you is
important, but only upon one con
dition.
That condition exists, not with
in them, but within you.
The schoolteacher can lead you
to the book. He cannot make you
think. The preacher or priest can
show you which way a toboggan
slide runs. He cannot keep you
from taking a chance if your head
is light weight. The sheriff can
hold you for a while— but that is
all.
No force outside of yourself is
stiong enough to make a man of
you. But inside lies the power
that can move mountains, dig ca
nals, scale Parnassus aud keep you
away from the policeman, aud the
bill collector, Beelzebub and the
Commorists.
Inside lies the force that can
take a rail-splitter without a day’ s
schooling iu his life aud make him
President o f the United States.
Inside lives the thing you must
be true to if you grow— the thing
that spurs ambitiou, whets desire
and produces action— the thing
that gives you the right to live.
True manhood comes from the
cultivation of the interior.
