FAILURES BUILD SUCCESSES'”
Kvery man, if he knows how to use
them, has plenty cu materials to build
substantial success of his life.
The only edifice in which bad stones
do as well as good is that structure.
Men are fortunate in that they may
use their worst failures as the corner
stones of their successes. The foun
dations of many startling achieve
ments are made up entirely of the
stones of failure. [
Men only need to know how to us0!
heir failures. Many who have spent
eir lives up to their prime in fail
ing have suddenly built from the
faults that have been revealed to them
and have come to be judged by the
world as successful men.
In this world a man with a will has
the chance to succeed as long as he
breathes.
He has the blocks’ at hand for his
structure of life, some perfect ami .
some imperfect, but if he has the skill '
every one of them can be made to fit.
For that reason life is always filled
with hope, and no man is ever down
-ml out unless he thinks that he is. 1

V'HAT is EXPERIENCE worth?

How much will an experience in the
'war be worth to a young man in dol
lars and cents? jfc
A Kalama resident says that his ex
perience is already worth $10,000 to
him. He wrote this in a letter to the
Kalama Bulletin, and at the time he “
was not yet in France. I “
He will have to add some large fig- A’
ures to his total when he commences
to figure up- the value of his sojourn (
among the French people, of his new
opportunity for broadening his cul
ture, and of his chance to understand
human nature the better.
The Kalama young man was on the (
Tuscania, and that experience is re
sponsible for the $10,000 item on the
credit side of his ledger. He writes (
of the experience:
“Of course, it was not the occasior
of very much enjoyment at the time
but when I get back home I would noi
take $10,000 for my experience in the
war thus far. You see, we had the
distinction of being the first transport
sunk by a submarine. We lost every
thing when the ship went down except
what we had on.”
How would you like to be the kai
ser. fighting young fellows who think
it is worth a small fortune to be
pitched out into the ocean and whc
think it is a distinction to be on the
first transport sunk at sea?
Example is one of the great teach
ers.
-•
The way one man acts in danger in
fluences other men. The manner in
which one man bears sacrifices un
flinchingly has its effect on others.
Because the same principle applies
to nations the United States can be
happy that we have the allies that we
do have.

Candidate for Re election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress
from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska's
representative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this
great war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
flle of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
1 ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
try.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
! am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
"Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Pi jviding for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory,
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.’’
