To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Young men have emulated the example set by their pioneer fathers by leaving their old homes and going West to grow up with the country. It would seem likely Latta inherited this predilection, his parents having removed from Ohio to eastern Iowa, and this inheritance, Mr. Speaker, proved a rich legacy to Latta. He was possessed of a practical turn of mind. To him was given the clear vision to recognize opportunities large and small, and he was possessed of the qualifications to make each his own.... In his make-up he was not lacking in confidence; neither was he overconfident. A good, sound judgment secured for him about the right balance. Many men perceive opportunities to be good, but have not the ability or confidence or coui'age to improve them. Others pass opportunities by for want of the faculty to perceive them. It is the few who both perceive and avail them- selves of the advantage of the better or best opportunities. It is easy enough to look backward and see the numerous valuable opportunities we have passed, but this consti- tutes only observation and experience; thus we see what we have lost or missed.
