NOME, ALASKA. MARCH 24, 1915.
OPPORTUNITY.
The average man who has reached
middle life without having accumu
lated a competency generally blames
his ill success upon what he usually
denominates a lack of opportunity
While it is true that there are many
whose environment was such that they
might never hope to rise above a cer
tain condition it is also true that the
majority have no one to blame toil
themselves The visible evidences of
this are to tie seen in nearly every com
munity in the land, be it rural or urban
Independent of those who are physi
cally or mentally incompetent to suc
ceed there is a countless host who start
in life in identical situations and with
equal advantages and yet only a small
percentage ever rise to that state of
tavltig or condition which may be term
ed successful Whether the start in .
life is made at the counting-house desk,
at the merchandise counter or at the
plow, it Is tho same, hut one of many
succeed in rising higher than they be
gun Johnnie and Jamie, healthy and
normal, share I he same bed and board,
attend the same school, and in every
way jiartako of equal advantages, yet
the rolling wheel of time will carry the
one to parliament and the other to the
poor house one cannot help but be
lieve that tho fault lies with the in
dividual, when it is considered that of
those who have succeeded, in so far as
their old age is amply protected, the
major poritlon have earned what they
have accumulated by careful planning
for the future and by painstaking in
dustry.
in the main, earnest application and
sober industry tire the essentials to any
sort of success opportunity itself
will not cause a person to succeed A
thousand opportunities may be pre
sented to tho thoughtless and heedless
and they will fail to profit thereby, tints
opportunity is no guaranty of success.
The majority of people go through life
regarding only the present, content to
bask in tlie comforts and pleasures of!
today, regardless of the future and
what it may contain Pleasure, that
capricious mistress of man’s hopes,
ever beckons und while youth endures,
nun is apt to follow. Blind to all ex
cept tbe lure of tills treacherous siren, j
opportunity may linger by tbe wayside
.<11 unheeded while be pursues bis wild
und futile course, until at last some
condition or circumstance arouses him
to the knowledge that lie has lost, per
haps forever, his golden chance
Tagore, the Hindoo scholar and phil
osopher, tells of the man who in early
I youth set himself to the task of finding
the philosophers stone among the peb
bles by the shore With a chain of iron
about h!s neck he spent the days in
picking up the stones and touching
them in monotonous succession to the
links carefully watching for the mo
ment when the iron would change to
gold Through the long 'ears he bent
to his task and at length grew tired
Although he still continued his pursui"
he allowed his mind to wander and no
longer did he watch f..r the touch of
the stone whiih would turn to gold the
links of iron around hi-* ne*-k Years
passed at the weary task, until one
• lay. when old and feeble, a >outh ap
proaching the searcher asked. "Father,
whence » ame that chain of gold around
thy neck0" When the old man looked
he found the chain had Indeed been
• hanged to gold He had found the*
stone among the countless pebbles but

AMERICAN PASSPORTS.

America a thing to he thankful for.

lie pleases. N’o potty official can stop
him and ask him Ids whereabouts or

It is natural that a people that has!

should occasionally be taken advantage
of by persons of ev il designs. We have
