FRIENDS AND FRIENDSHIP
The most valuable asset a man
can have is a friend. Not that he
may have some one who can help
him that isn't worth much in the
final analysis, but that he may hwve
sone one he can help. The friend
less man is miserable. Not because
there is no one to assist him, but
because there is no one he can assist.
To have a friend aid you, to hane
one give you a certain amount of
money when you need that amount,
for instance, may be considered a
glorious thing. But it is confidence,
some one to whom you can willing
ly give a hundred dollars and feel
that your friendship has been of use
to him. That is real friendship.
Nor is all this a matter of senti
ment. It is a very practical, a
very substantial thing. There is a
great deal more in this thing of be
ing of service to others than the av
erage man imagines.
Success in life is not the accum
ulation of wealth. That is at most
only an indiction of success in one
particular line. The real test of
success is what a man gets out of
life. The mere possession of wealth
is a bswble, a fiction. Carried to
its logical conclusion, no man can
possess wealth. He may control it
to a certain extent. He may hoard
it or disburse it. but wealth of itself
is without value. Until it is dis
bursed, until it is exchanged for
something else, money is of no ac
count whatever. It does not even
possess the virtue of being beauti
ful. But tie man of wealth has greater
opportunities of serving others. To
that extent he is successful. He has
achieved the possibility of being of
service. If he proceeds to be of
service to others; if he builds a big
factory for turning the natural re
sources Into necessities or luxuries
of the r:e; if he founds schools or
colleges; if he uses his wealth in
traveling that he may become bet
ter acquainted with his fellow man,
cr understand M the more the na
ture of the world in which he lives
that he may be of more comfort to
those with whom he cornea in cou
tact, th;n he disburses his wealth
In the service of others.
But where he hoards and grasps.
a.id hargs onto nil he csn a oumu
latf, cr usi8 it solely for his own
deslrts, then Is life a failure. One
must serve somebody 'else thm him
self to be successful, to get out of
life all tin re is la it.
Tals does not necessarily moan
hat a man who hue a dollar must
give it to somebody else. That may
ind ed be a very poor service. Be
sides, wealtiv or money is not the
only thing in the world with which
otto may Berve his fellows. He may
visit Uie sick id serve by his pres
ence. He may rve the whole com
munity by standing for those things
which are right and by opposing the
things which we wrong and there
by show friendship, not only for the
Individual but for the community.
REMAIN SAFE
The read peril to peace, order and
prosperity in the Roosevelt madness
is thw backing he is giving Woodrow
Wilson and the democratic party in
their campaign of reaction, sectional
ism and free trade. Wilson's suc
cess would be a calamity involving
repression id ruin more wide
spread than that which followed the
success of democracy in 1S92, and
the Wilson low tariff and free trade
bill of 1894, for the reason that the
nation has expanded since that time
and the interests disastrously af
fected would be vastly greaOtr.
The one absolute guarantee for the
country agaiiist another four years
of democratic depression and an
other Rojsevet prtiic, is to remain
in the safe harbor of Taft good times
by voting for the republican platform
and candidaOts.
It should go without saying that
Theodore Roosevelt has no chance
of success, although he is so eaten
with self-pride, with the conviction
that he is the only one in ninety mil
lions that hta wheels enough in his
head to run the national machinery,
that it is possible he tiinks the
American people are tired of TetTt
prosperity and want another Roose
velt panic.

The Men Who Succeed
as heads of . targe enterprises are
men of energy. Success today de
mands health. To ail is to fail. It's
utterly folly for a man to endure a
weak, run-down, half alive condition
when Electric Bitters will put him
right on his feet in short order.
"Four bottles did me more real good
than any other medicine I veer took,"
Writes Chrs. B. Allen, Sylvariia, Ga.
"After years of suffering with rheu
matism, liver trouble, stomach dis
order and deranged kidneys, I am
again, thanks to Electric Bitters,
sound and well." Try them. Only 50c
at all druggists.
