HUGG1XS -ON- 1 Ci FRIDAY, JUNE 80, 1923 it TTl SN'S luGUOS GOVERNOR NOT GUILTY It is gratifying to all persons who are interested in the good name and the good character of public officials Ee Net Ordinary The great majority of people do their work in an ordinary manner.

If it will get by, it satisfies them. Excellence does not enter into their minds as an element that will bring them to a higher standard of earning power. They are shirkers, or they are content to remain, earning their lowly weekly wages in contentment. There is nothing beyond that inspires them to make the effort to acquire efficiency, and so they continue to be passive units in the industrial hive. As long as men look upon their life work in this manner, they will remain in the ranks of the ordinary.

It is not the ordinary workman who is selected to become a boss or a superintendent. It is not the ordinary man who is put in charge of a business. It is not the heedless man who is given a' responsible position. The ordinary workman is never calling to the office to receive an increase in wages. He may demand it, but he will not get it as long as men can be found to do his work at the same pay.

wages may be increased, but it will be at a time when there is a shortage of labor in his line of work. The person who gets ahead is the man who works honestly for honest day's pay, and while be is doing it is thinking how he can acquire efficiency that the jury agreed that Governor Small, of Illinois was not guilty of the charge of conspiracy to defraud the state on interest on public funds. The indictment charged that Small, While state treasurer, had conspired with others to loan state funds to Chicago packers on, short-term notes paying eight per, cent or more, of which only two per cent was paid to THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY n.

On arriving in Wilmington he found that there were not hats to be had such as he would ordinarily buy. Finally be found a hat junk dealer who had somehow secured an immense number of old silk hats, or beavers, as they were called in those days.

Being able to get nothing else, and having promised the negroes their quota of hats, he made a blanket trade with the dealer and carried home fifty old beavers. The darkies were elated and wore them on the plantation summer; and winter as long as they could be made to hold OUt. The story of the one useful dress suit comes from Kansas. In 1860 the great drouth took in that state and the people suffered. Boston philanthropists were then active as ever, especially in currying favor with Kansas, and so sent out "boxes," something like we are now sending to Armenia.

Some rich man up there who bad about worn out his dress suit dropped it in the box and it fell into the hands of a Kansas farmer named Paswell, who proceeded to plow in it all summer. And upon that subject some one is heartless enough to write this: "The dress-suit, like the silk hat and the gold headed cane, originated as a badge of display or ability to pay. They are passing out. The modern badges are automobiles and bootleg whiskey." does this by mucins air itK-Lee Co. with the Kerosene and Wilmington Is Hit By Terrific Storm vaporizing the oil into a Wilmington, June 29.
