SEE ae ees February 10, 1903 MEN THAT DO THINGS = CANNOT ESCAPE CRITICISM ROM the President, governing the land to the newspaper writer, scribbling his daily column, everybody is a target for the flings of people who could do his _ work so much better than he if they had the chance. Does Mr. Roosevelt name a cabinet? Hundreds of newspapers are quick to tell him that he has selected the wrong men. Does the greatest soprano in the world sing a new song? Critics whose ignorance of music is monumental rush into print and show that she was off the key, that her notes are false, and that she misconceives thé spiritual meaning f a case in‘court? The bailiff, the clerk and all the law students in the jroo perceive a dozen deficiencies in his work and feel confident that they could have beaten him had they been on the other side. Does a brilliant and experienced physician prescribe a certain course of treatment for a patient? Every old woman in the neighborhood, deeming herself a born nurse, declares an opinion that the doctor is an ignoramus, and woe to the physiciat if the patient dies, for the old women, both male fand female, will accuse him, practically, of murder. Does the proprietor of a successful newspaper-follow-an-editorial policy that-builds up his cirealation Pro Bono Publico, Veritas and other venerable friends and subscribers, entirely ignorant of the practical conditions of the newspaper business, shower him with criticism and advice and urge him to publish a paper that might exactly suit them but would suit nobody else. uh Critics enjoy the precious privilege of not having to do anything positive. They are the pit which sits at ease and picks out the mistakes of the stage. They are the stay-athomes who cried “On to Richmond!” and denounced the aud “its generals in active service for not putting down the Rebellion in a week. They are the. gentry who rasp the administration for its handling of the Philippines, but quit suggesting a better way of doing the work. The world is full of these teady-made critics who never voice of Jove and atone of finality that would have graced the oracular bull, They are thick as flies and they buzz and them as one of the vexations imposed on human nature for its sins. It matters not how hard a man strives or how well he does his work. He will not satisfy the amiable critics who will sit in judgment on him. His only consolation is that if his work is meritorious carping will not kill it. But the world belongs to the man that does things—the Critics may sit on their hauuches, sneering and reviling, but to the man that does things belongs all the honor and glory. The man that does things is the great hero or the great villain in the play. The critics are merely the chorus, whose? names are never printed on the bills. Since even the Creator does not escape criticism from persous who think they could have ordained the universe better than He has done it, mortal’ man may not hope to do his own work in his own way without Tunning foul of that large class of idle busybodies whose function in the social economy is to find fault with people that do things, point out their mistakes and give them advice free. George R. Jones, an iron master of Pittsburg, is said to have distributed $30,000 to the motormen of tbat city as & reward for watchfualness in preventing accidents, The distribution wae made by special check and each one received a certificate of commendation. The gift amounts to an advance of one per cent on the wages of the men, A love letter written by the poet Keate has just been sold for $212. This shows that the demand for fiction ie on the increase. , Jim Jeffries may not possess a won derfal tatellect, but recent negotiations serve to prove that he is the senior wrangler of his class in pagilism, ‘ : KEEY OH TRL Rvidence Being Taken in Truckee Murder Since our report of the trial of Frank Kenney, charged with the murder of Wa.

Lamb then fell back into the chair from weakness and shortly afterward he died. Bert Haff testified to substantially the same as did Mr. Collins. Al.

He saw Kenney and was talking to him, when McDonald said he was going to bed. Kenney said he was ulso going to bed, but would make 8 Cigarette first. They made a cigar ette, and Kenney struck a match just as Lamb came from bebind the bar with a tray of drinks. Kenney acctdentally strack the tray with his hand. Kenney and the witness then went out.
