LOST SUCCESS SECRET
When Thomas W. Lawson died a
week or so ago, at the age of 67,
there passed from life’s stage one of
its most spectacular actors—a man
who had made and lost several large
fortunes in the stock market. ■
He made $40,000 in a pool of rail
road stock before he was 17. He
lost this, but more than made it
back before lie was 20. In his ca
reer as banker and broker it is es
timated that he made mere than
fifty million dollars at various times.
He was quite an author. In 1S8S
he wrote a book called “Secrets of
Success’’ and for several years it
appeared that no one was more ca
pable of explaining those secrets
than he. But finally his luck de
serted him and he died in poverty.
We do not know much about the
secrets of success, but we do know
the secret of Lawson’s ultimate fail- j
ure. He was a gambler.' He gam-;
bled for big stakes and while he of- j
ten made tremendous winnings thru ;
his stock manipulations, he finallyj
lost—as all gamblers do if they play i
long enough.
The remarkable eyesight of many
old people is attributed to better
care of their eyes in youth. But

How Washington Stands
According to the “A. P.”
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 9.—
The Congress of blocs—the Sixty
Eighth—passed into legislative his
tory at noon, March 4.
It is succeeded by one in which
the Republicans will have an actual
as well as a nominal majority and
in which the LaFolIette insurgents
will find themselves stripped of the
power to mould legislation.
This change will be brought about
as a result of the election turn-over
which decreased Democratic strength
in both houses and reduced likewise
the number of insurgents in the Sen
